Universal Wireless Brake Monitor and Switch
This kit combines our wireless monitor with our brake light switch to create a truly universal monitoring system that will work in any vehicle with a supplemental braking system that moves the brake pedal.
One of the greatest concerns every motorhome owner has while towing is that the dinghy vehicle’s brakes either aren’t being applied, or are applied continuously, causing drag and excessive brake/tire wear.
Some braking systems do not supply a monitor; others do, but only tell you if their own system is functioning — not if the towed vehicle's brakes are being applied.
Roadmaster's monitor tells you when the vehicle's brakes are applied; if there is a break away; if there is extended braking, and if your towed vehicle's battery is draining.
The Universal Wireless Brake Monitor and Switch incorporates a brake signal transmitter, receiver and an infrared brake light switch. The transmittor is installed in the dinghy, while the receiver is installed in the motorhome. Meanwhile, the infrared brake switch attaches to the brake pedal arm and is powered by a single, dedicated power source.
It measures the distance between the floorboard and brake pedal with a beam of light and, when the brake pedal moves, the transmittor sends a signal to the receiver in the motorhome.

Instructions Universal Wireless Brake Monitor and Switch
Each individual component's characteristics are described below.
Universal Brake Monitor
The best upgrade or replacement monitor available!
Truly universal and works with all braking systems that depress the brake pedal.
Exceptional range and reliability for line-of-sight transmission confirmed to 1,000 feet; proprietary send/repeat circuitry confirms each signal at 100 percent reception.
Protects the towed vehicles brakes and reports any braking activity to the motorhome monitor; includes a low-battery alert, extended braking and break-away alarms, and five other audio and/or visual alarms and system status notifications.
30-minute installation, all at the towed vehicle; simply plug the motorhome monitor into any 12-volt outlet.
• Automatic operation activates only when the vehicles are connected for towing.
• Specifications for frequency: 923 MHz; voltage: 12V; sleep current: 30mA
Universal Brake Light Switch
This switch sends a beam of infrared light to detect brake pedal movement. When the pedal moves down, it sends a signal to the monitor that the brakes have been applied.
• Works with any supplemental braking system that moves the brake pedal
• Just four wires — one wire to the brake transmitter, one to the break away switch, one to ground, one to power
• Can provide a brake signal to any motorhome monitor
• Mounts to the brake pedal arm under the dash
