Redarc Tow Pro Elite Details

The Redarc Tow-Pro™ Elite (EBRH-ACCV2) is an advanced electric trailer brake controller engineered for versatility and ease of use. It effectively manages most common trailer braking applications while minimizing dashboard clutter. This unit supports both electric and electric/hydraulic trailer braking systems, seamlessly adapting to either 12V or 24V vehicle power without requiring any manual adjustments or additional components. Its design prioritizes a straightforward installation and user-friendly operation, making it ideal for a wide range of towing setups.

A standout feature of the Tow-Pro™ Elite is its dual operating modes: Proportional Mode (indicated by a blue LED) and User Controlled Mode (signified by a green LED). Proportional Mode automatically applies trailer brakes relative to vehicle deceleration, perfect for highway driving. User Controlled Mode allows the driver to set a fixed braking level via the control knob, regardless of vehicle braking force, often preferred for off-road or precise maneuvering. Users can easily switch between these modes based on road conditions, vehicle type, or personal preference.

The innovative Active Calibration system ensures optimal performance by constantly monitoring the vehicle's direction of travel. This allows the Tow-Pro™ Elite to 'learn' and confirm its mounting orientation, even calibrating without a trailer connected. This intelligent feature means the main unit can be securely mounted in any orientation within the vehicle cabin, enhancing installation flexibility and ensuring accurate braking force measurements. A flashing Blue/Green LED indicates calibration in progress, turning solid blue once complete.

Drivers can precisely adjust the braking force using a control knob on the remote head, with settings ranging from 0 to 10. Turning the knob clockwise increases braking force, while anti-clockwise reduces it. The manual override function, activated by pressing the control knob, applies trailer brakes independently of the vehicle brakes. This is particularly useful for correcting trailer sway. In Proportional mode, override applies light braking, whereas in User Controlled mode, it applies the preset level.

The Tow-Pro™ Elite integrates several safety features and adheres to strict standards, including ADR compliance and approval for use with AL-KO ESC and Dexter DSC sway control systems. It features a Park Brake Feature which intelligently applies trailer brakes when the vehicle is stationary for over three seconds, reducing driver effort. Furthermore, the unit incorporates sophisticated diagnostics, using various LED flash patterns to alert the driver to wiring faults or operational issues, ensuring continuous safe towing. The remote head's compact design complies with ADR 21.

The product kit includes essential components for installation: a Remote Head Assembly, the Main Unit, a Remote Head Nut, Knob, and Bezel, a 1-meter RJ45 Remote Head Cable, and 0.5-meter Main Unit Wires with a connector. The remote head cable is a standard RJ45 network cable, which can be extended up to 5 meters using an off-the-shelf cable, though a ferrite bead is recommended for longer lengths to ensure signal integrity. This modular approach allows for a clean, customized installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Redarc Tow Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller, and we answer them below.


The LED is flashing Blue/Green, what does this mean?
A Blue/Green flash sequence indicates that the unit is in the process of calibration, as the unit becomes more confident in it’s calibration the Blue will appear for longer. Keep driving and eventually this will turn to a solid Blue.

Is the Tow-Pro™ Elite approved to use with my Electronic Trailer Stability Control system?
The Tow-Pro™ Elite is approved for use with the AL-KO ESC and the Dexter Sway Control systems. Please visit the manufacturer’s website for more information.

How do I change from Proportional to User Controlled mode?
Please see section 3.3.3 of this manual.

Will it work with electric over hydraulic trailer brakes?
Yes, please see section 3.5 of this manual.

Can it be mounted in any orientation? How do I set the levelling of the main unit?
Yes, the unit can be installed inside the vehicle at any angle, provided it is firmly secured and in a location which allows access to the intended remote head location. Please see sections 2.1, 2.3 and 2.4 of this manual for more information.

My vehicle has shared tail/brake lights, will the Tow-Pro™ Elite work OK?
Yes, the Tow-Pro™ Elite is designed to operate correctly from both standard and shared tail/brake lights.

My caravan is 3.5 tonnes fully loaded; Is the Tow-Pro™ Elite strong enough to stop that much weight safely?
The controller is capable of supplying 3-axle setups at 12V or 24V inputs up to the maximum rated braking ability of the brakes. You must also ensure that your trailer brakes are adequate for the trailer load.

Can the remote head cable be extended?
Yes, the remote head cable is a standard RJ45 network cable and can be replaced by an off the shelf cable up to 5m in length. If the cable used is longer than 1m however we recommend using a ferrite bead, such as Jaycar P/N LF1294, clipped onto the cable as close as possible to the main unit.

Can the braking level of the manual over-ride be adjusted?
Yes, the manual override can be adjusted whilst it is being applied by turning the gain control knob. For more information on manual override please see section 3.2 of this manual.

Will my trailer brakes work while I am reversing?
The Tow-Pro™ Elite is designed to apply the trailer brakes whether the vehicle is travelling forward or in reverse. The effectiveness of the brake application in reverse will depend on the mechanical design of your particular electric brake system.

I have a 2 axle trailer, is the Tow-Pro™ Elite suitable for my trailer?
Yes, the Tow-Pro™ Elite is designed to operate up to 3-axle trailers.

I lost the knob/nut/bezel, where can I get one?
The knob, nut or bezel can be purchased as spare parts from REDARC authorised resellers.
