Can Hopkins Reliance Trailer Brake Controller Be Mounted In Any Direction?
Question:
Does this Reliance controller have to be mounted horizontally like other Hopkins controllers on your site?
asked by: ThomasThomas J
Expert Reply:
Since the Hopkins Reliance Trailer Brake Controller you mentioned is a time delayed trailer brake controller, it can be mounted at any angle. Proportonal controllers require a specific mounting angle as the internal inertia sensor requires it to be level on the horizontal plane for accurate braking.
I went ahead and included the written instructions for the Reliance for you to take a look at, and if you have any other questions about this controller feel free to let me know!
