Control Box
The Control Module has two modes of operation;
-
Count Mode:
Unit counts up from 0 e.g. 1,2,3,4,5 indefinitely, until the count is paused or the unit
switched off. If the counter reaches 999 then it will reset to 000.
-
Countdown Mode:
The desired drop count is set using the up / down arrows in increments of 5. The unit will
then count down and stop at zero. THIS IS THE RECOMMENDED MODE OF OPERATION!
The unit can be fixed to a suitable surface on the towing vehicle using screws through the fixing lugs hidden under
the two flaps on the left and right of the unit.

sufficiently. In hot ambient conditions this can take significantly longer; likewise, in cold ambient conditions this
will take less time.
