Operating Modes
The Tow-Pro
®
Elite offers two modes of operation -
Proportional
and
User
Controlled
. On the first application of power to the black wire, the Tow-Pro
®
Elite
will start-up in Proportional mode. Every time a trailer is connected, the Tow-Pro
®
Elite will start up in the mode that was last selected (provided the black wire has
remained connected to power/battery positive).
3.3.1 Proportional Mode (Blue LED)
If the status indication LED on the control knob is glowing
BLUE, the Tow-Pro
®
Elite is in
Proportional Mode
.
In Proportional Mode, the Tow-Pro
®
Elite will apply
the trailer brakes at a level proportional to the vehicle
deceleration. The control knob setting, 0 to 10, will
set the brakes from a lighter to a heavier trailer brake
application. Simply put,
the harder the vehicle brakes
are applied, the harder the trailer will brake.
This
mode is designed for highway travelling or everyday
use and requires minimal input from the user whilst
travelling.
3.3.2 User Controlled Mode (Green LED)
If the status indication LED on the control knob is glowing
GREEN, the Tow-Pro
®
Elite is in
User Controlled Mode
.
In User Controlled Mode, the Tow-Pro
®
Elite will apply
the trailer brakes to the level set by the user on the gain
control knob. The control knob setting, 0 to 10, will set
the brakes from Zero to Full trailer brake application.
Simply put,
the trailer will brake to the level set by
the control knob (regardless of how hard the vehicle
brakes).
This mode is often preferred for off road or
precision use and may require frequent attention from
the user.
It is important to consider the road surface and conditions when selecting a
mode and level setting. When changing conditions we advise to review your
controller settings and adjust according to your preference.
