leaks. Refer to section 1 regarding the
correct selection of battery types.
4. Perform the configuration procedure
again as described in section 2.1 but do
a factory restore of the control box first, if
not already done, as described in section
2.2. Ensure that the configuration cable
that was supplied with the unit is used.
Disconnect the configuration cable when
done.
5. When pressing the remote unit buttons to
test operation, check that the remote unit
red light lights up while a button is being
pressed. If not then either the remote unit
has not been correctly configured or the
battery voltage is not correct or it is a
faulty unit.
6. If the remote unit light lights up when
pressing a button, listen for relay clicking
sounds inside the Pro-Reel® control box.
Each remote unit button must control a
relay in the control box and when they
are operating the relays can clearly be
heard. This ensures that remote control
communications is working.
7. Visually inspect the wiring looms and
connectors attached to the Pro-Reel®
control box and associated external
devices for correct fit and any possible
wear or damage to wires, wire insulation or
connector housing. Inspect also for signs
of water damage or corrosion. Damaged
connectors or wiring looms should be
immediately repaired (refer to your product
supplier) as they pose a short circuit
risk to the vehicle’s electrical system.
Never operate a unit with damaged
wiring or damaged, loose or poorly fitting
connectors as this poses a risk to both
the equipment and the vehicle’s electrical
system.
8. Check the external antenna connection
and inspect for any damage to the antenna
cable or a damaged or loose connector at
the exterior of the control box. Also check
that the control box antenna connector
is correctly attached to the control box
SMA connector inside the control box
when opened. The SMA connector is
the gold coloured connector connecting
the antenna cable to the control box
receiver board (see figure 2 on page 1).
The connector should not be loose but
do not tighten further if it is not loose.
Loss of received signal strength that may
result from damaged or poorly connected
antenna cables or connectors will typically
become a problem when the remote unit
is at a distance from the control box.
CAUTION:
Do not make physical contact
with any part of the control box printed
circuit board or components except to
check the antenna connector.
9. Visually inspect the interior of the Pro-
Reel® control box while it is open for
any loose wires or connections or any
loose foreign object that may result in
short circuiting of exposed electrical
conductors or components. Ensure that
all connections are secure and that the
control box is free of foreign objects before
refitting the control box cover.
If the problem cannot be determined, then
refer to your product supplier for assistance.
