About the SwayControl
BMPRO SwayControl is a proactive electronic stability control that can
automatically stabilise a caravan/trailer in the event of a sway. It automatically
corrects caravan/trailer sway which can be caused by changing road conditions,
driver error, lateral winds or a passing truck, keeping drivers safe on the road.
The SwayControl is mounted on the underside of the caravan/trailer chassis,
wires directly to the trailer braking system and continuously monitors the trailer
to detect sway. If sway is detected the SwayControl automatically activates the
caravan/trailer brakes to bring them and the vehicle under control.
SwayControl distinguishes between safe maneuvering and dangerous trailer
sway and does not require driver intervention. With independent control of left
and right-hand side trailer brakes, and continual closed loop feedback, the
SwayControl quickly and effectively applies the necessary braking force to the
side of the caravan/trailer where it is needed to correct trailer sway.

Installation Instructions
PERSONNEL
The SwayControl is a safety device which is required to be installed in the caravan/
trailer by suitably qualified service personnel.
To operate correctly, the SwayControl must be securely fastened onto a vertical surface
of a steel trailer. Do not fasten the SwayControl to any other trailer surface that flexes
or moves from wind such as plastic covers or plastic walls.
ORIENTATION
Ensure that the SwayControl is mounted in the correct, UP direction.
The centre of the SwayControl (marked by the orange dot on the SwayControl label)
must be positioned over the centre line of the caravan/trailer.
The bottom edge of the SwayControl (as indicated by the orange line on the bottom of
the SwayControl label) must be mounted parallel to the trailer beam axle.
Figure 2 further demonstrates guidance on mounting the SwayControl to the trailer.
WARNING
For proper operation of the SwayControl, ensure that the electric brakes are
adjusted and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations
in the electric brakes owner’s manual.
MOUNTING LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
The suggested location for mounting the SwayControl is on the first trailer frame
crossmember, approximately 0.3 to 3.0m behind the trailer hitching point.
The SwayControl must be mounted in the correct orientation (as indicated on the
label), on either the “leading” or “trailing” edge of the crossmember. “Trailing” edge is
preferred, as it provides the best protection from road debris.
WARNING
DO NOT spray high pressure water on the SwayControl. The SwayControl is a
weather sealed, water resistant unit, but it is not designed to withstand direct, high
pressure spray from a power washer.
7
WARNING
When installed, it is essential that the SwayControl is orientated in the correct
direction.
MOUNTING
Mount the SwayControl to the caravan/trailer using the mounting flanges located on
the sides of the unit. Use four #10 self-tapping screws (not supplied) with star lock
washers to mount the SwayControl.
It is recommended that star lock washers are used and that mounting bolts are securely
tightened to hold the SwayControl firmly in position and to avoid becoming loose from
vibration.
WARNING
DO NOT drill holes in the SwayControl for any reason. Drilling holes or puncturing
the unit will void your warranty.

Wiring Instructions
SWAYCONTROL WIRING HARNESS
The SwayControl wire harness has five wires requiring electrical connection (table 1)
and one cable for the status LED light.
When making connections to the caravan/trailer’s wiring harness, the desired
termination is a solder joint. If the connection is not soldered, use the appropriate
size and type of “crimp-type” weather sealed heat-shrink connectors, using the
manufacturer’s recommended crimping tools in accordance with their crimping
instructions.
WARNING
Taking shortcuts when connecting any wires on your trailer only increases the
likelihood that some part of your electrical system will fail.
Make sure connections are durable and sealed against exposure to weather and
corrosive elements. One loose connection can disable your entire trailer brake
system.
WARNING
Failure to use the correct wire may result in poor braking performance or brake
failure. Incorrect wire size may also result in significant damage to your trailer or its
components.
Undersized wire will prevent electrical circuit protection devices such as fuses or
circuit breakers from functioning properly.

WIRING DIAGRAMS
Caravan/Trailer Battery
The caravan/trailer must be equipped with a 12V battery system of greater or equal to
50Ahr.
Ground Connections
The caravan/trailer battery ground, the SwayControl ground and the electric brake
ground wires must all be securely connected a 1.8 mm2 (minimum) wire in order for
the SwayControl to function properly.
These must be all fully grounded to a common point on the caravan/trailer.
