Break-away Device Activation Switch

For trailers over 2000 kg GTM it is a requirement that, should the tow vehicle and trailer separate accidentally, that the trailer brakes are applied at full power for a minimum period of 15 minutes.

The brake-away switch is the crucial link between your van and tow vehicle, ultimately indicating to your brake-away device that the trailer and tow vehicle have separated, thus triggering the activation of the brakes.
