GSL's RBC series introduces a new generation of brake controllers that utilize microprocessor technology to deliver a pre-set braking force. Designed for both 12V and 24V systems, these controllers are compatible with single and dual axle trailers and operate on negative earth systems only. The controllers are noted for their ruggedness, compact design, and ease of installation, requiring just a simple four-wire connection and featuring a remote control for easy adjustment and monitoring of the brakes.
Models: RBC-12-NG (12V systems) and RBC-24-NG (24V systems).
Minimum Input Voltage: 9 VDC (RBC-12-NG) / 18 VDC (RBC-24-NG).
Nominal Input Voltage: 12 VDC / 24 VDC.
Maximum Input Voltage: 15 VDC / 30 VDC.
No Current Load: 30 mA.
Maximum Load: 2 Axle / 12A Avg.
Dimensions: 30mm x 57mm x 90mm.
Weight: 200g.
Fuse Requirements: 20A for RBC-12-NG, 15A for RBC-24-NG (external, not supplied).
Wire Connections:
- White Wire: Negative Battery.
- Blue Wire: Brake.
- Black Wire: Positive Battery (with fuse).
- Red Wire: Brake Switch.
Setting Braking Force: Rotate the knob on the remote to adjust braking intensity.
Using Override Feature: Press the adjustment knob to activate. This applies trailer brakes independently of the vehicle brakes.
Solid LED: Trailer connected and system operational.
Flashing LED: Active braking or override in use.
No LED: No power or trailer disconnected.
Ensure proper grounding as a poorly grounded unit may operate intermittently or not at all.
Verify all connections are secure and correctly made.
Do not connect the "Battery" wire to the fuse panel or accessory wiring to avoid potential damage.
For RF interference issues, avoid using the vehicle chassis as a ground return path for the brake coils.
GSL offers a 2-year warranty from the date of original purchase, covering defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service.
The RBC models are load activated and cannot be tested without load. The output voltage is pulsed and cannot be measured with a standard voltmeter or test light.
An external fuse must be fitted to the system; refer to the model-specific requirements for fuse size.
Ensure the red wire is connected to a source that receives DC voltage equal to the supply voltage when the brakes are on, avoiding connections to systems that share supply for rear and tail lights.
This guide is designed to provide comprehensive information for customer service and technical staff handling inquiries about the GSL Remote Brake Controllers RBC-12-NG and RBC-24-NG.
Once again Caravansplus had the exact replacement parts I needed. In this case the mechanisms for my poptop roof lifting. Their range of parts is extensive, their prices are reasonable and the delivery is very swift. Thanks guys and gals.
Needed new bathroom vent lids and fly screens and did much online research into costs and suitable replacements. Caravansplus site provided the information that I needed and were very competitive with pricing. Items arrived promptly and were very well packaged. Had a small problem with a missing tab/button on one of the fly screens and when I contacted Caravansplus to report it, they immediately arranged for a replacement entire fly screen assembly to be sent to me at no cost. I find the people at Caravansplus to be exceptionally helpful and supportive in both initial sales and after sale service if any problems arise.
Yes the usual 5 star rating for caravans plus. Purchased a Dometic awning system from them. Communication was good. all parts present and correct. Just have to fit it now. Caravans Plus have proven their place in the caravan parts and accessory game by their honest service, prompt delivery and great back up. I have been using Caravans Plus for around eighteen years now, their business model has been consistent.
