immediately off again.
5. Now depress the Engine Off button on
the remote unit. The light on the remote
unit will turn back on and the light in
the control box should also switch on
and remain on. This indicates that the
configuration is complete.
6. Disconnect the configuration cable and
test the system by pressing each of the
two remote unit buttons in succession to
observe whether or not they perform as
required.
This completes the setup and test of a hand-
held remote unit with a Pro-Reel® control box.
If there are problems
with operation of the system, the control box
can be restored to factory settings as follows:
Restoring a Control
Box to factory default
settings
Do not connect the configuration cable since
this operation is done to the control box alone.
1. Press and hold down the control box
push-button switch, SW2, for at least 12
seconds. Time this by counting slowly
to 12, during which time the red light will
switch on and off various times and for
various durations. When the required time
has elapsed, the light will blink on and off
continuously at a fast rate (flashing about
twice per second). This means that 12
seconds has elapsed.
2. Release the push-button switch. The
control box’s factory settings have now
been fully restored.
3. Perform the configuration process again,
as described in section 2.1, if required.
The control box factory restore process will
always restore settings back to their factory
defaults. If any settings
have been altered for an alternative mode of
operation, these will have to be configured
again.

Troubleshooting
The following list of items may be used to
aid in fault finding if the control box fails to
respond to remote unit transmissions. Use
this when the control box is opened for
configuration of a new or replacement remote
unit if the equipment fails to perform correctly
upon configuration.
NOTE:
Do not attempt repairs to the control
box internal circuitry or associated wiring
looms, connectors and external associated
equipment. This list is only intended as a basic
guide to resolve any minor issues or to simply
locate potentially major issues that may result
from wear of the equipment. Refer all servicing
to the product supplier.
CAUTION:
Do not make physical contact
with any of the components in the control box
except to connect the configuration cable
to the configuration socket, to set the DIP
switch (SW1) as described in section 2.1 (if
it has been altered) and to press the push-
button switch (SW2) as described in section
2.1. Contamination of circuitry or electrostatic
discharge into the circuit may result in
permanent damage to the control box.
1 Check control box power as described in
section 1. Ensure that adequate vehicle
battery power is available to the Pro-
Reel® control box and that it is correctly
connected. The system is designed for
12V DC automotive power supplies.
2. Press and release the Pro-Reel® control
box current overload reset button (on the
left side of the control box exterior) in case
an overload has occurred. If the unit now
works, it is advisable to inspect the system
to discover, if possible, what caused the
overload and rectify the problem.
3. Check that the hand-held remote unit
batteries are correctly oriented and that
they are serviceable. Replace them if
uncertain about their age. Never mix old
and new batteries or batteries of different
types. When replacing batteries, always
replace both with a pair of the same type
of batteries. Mixing batteries can result in
damage to the remote unit if either battery
