ElectraStar
Trailer Mounted Controller for Electric Brakes
Developed for Horse Trailers, Boat Trailers, RVs, Car Haulers, or any trailer with
electric brakes.
• Unit installs on trailer with minimal
wiring required
• No installation required in tow vehicle
• Meets or exceeds DOT regulations for
brake actuators
• Available with or without cab controller
Description
The Carlisle ElectraStar uses an on-board microprocessor and accelerometer to sense the amount of
braking effort being generated by the tow vehicle. It then adjusts its output and pressure to the
brakes, to provide a smooth, safe stop.
Because the ElectraStar is mounted on the trailer it requires no wiring or installation modifications to
the towing vehicle. Any appropriate tow vehicle can be used to tow a trailer equiped with the
ElectraStar. The hand held actuator controller plugs into the cigarette lighter and sends signals
through existing vehicle wiring to the actuator, providing adjustments to match load and road
conditions. To tow the trailer with a different, appropriate tow vehicle, all you have to do is
unplug the controller from one vehicle and plug it into the other. Any tow vehicle appropriate
for the load you're towing can be used with any trailer equipped with the ElectraStar.
The ElectraStar is powered by a trailer mounted battery. And, the battery is charged at all times,
thanks to the battery charger built into the actuator. Power for the built-in battery charger is drawn
from the tow vehicle's running light circuit. Therefore, the tow vehicle's running lights need to be
on whenever the trailer is being towed.
Ease of Installation
• Trailer mounted installation - unit installs by splicing into the running lights, left and right turn
signals, and ground circuits on the trailer electrical system.
• In-cab control plugs into the cigarette lighter of the tow vehicle - no additional wiring required.
Control can be shared by multiple vehicles that tow the same trailer.
Ease of Operation
• Computer smart / user friendly
• Any vehicle that can safely tow a trailer equipped with the ElectraStar actuator and power the
trailer’s lights can make use of the automatic brake system
• The in-cab control is easy to operate and makes matching the performance of the trailer brakes to
the brakes on the tow vehicle a simple process. Buttons are provided to either increase or decrease
the amount of trailer braking (six load settings). No other adjustments are required
• The in-cab control provides a visual and audible warning whenever a problem is detected with the
trailer brake electrical system or with the ElectraStar actuator. Status codes displayed by the unit
make system diagnosis and repair a simple process
