The Remote Control handset (8) is powered by three ‘AAA’ 1.5V batteries, and is activated by double-pressing the power
button (Fig.3A). Once activated the green LED (Fig.3H) will illuminate and the directional controls can now be used. If the
handset has not been used for a period of 60 seconds then it will automatically switch itself off.
Fig.3
A = On (press button twice within one second, green LED (Fig.3H) illuminates)
B = Caravan forwards (both wheels rotate in forwards direction)
C = Caravan reverse (both wheels rotate in reverse direction)
D = Caravan left forwards (right wheel rotates in forwards direction)
E = Caravan right forwards (left wheel rotates in forwards direction)
F = Caravan left reverse (right wheel rotates in reverse direction)
G = Caravan right reverse (left wheel rotates in reverse direction)
In addition, the ‘left forward’ (3D) and ‘right reverse’ (3G) buttons or ‘right forward’ (3E) and ‘left reverse’ (3F) buttons
may be pressed at the same time to turn the caravan around on its own axis (without moving forward or backward).
Note: this function is disabled when the electronics are in twin-axle mode.
When pressing a directional button on the handset, the mover will start slowly, normal speed will be reached within 2.5
seconds.
Changing batteries in the remote control:
Open the rear cover of the handset by pushing gently and sliding the rear cover in the direction of the
arrow (Fig.5). Take out the depleted/old batteries and dispose in the appropriate way (check with your
local authority for correct disposal of batteries). Install new replacement batteries. Make sure to use leak
proof batteries (No claims under guarantee can be considered for damage caused by leaking batteries).
Slide the rear cover on gently and it will click into place.
The Electronic Control Unit (7), which is mounted inside your caravan, is responsible for controlling the caravan mover.
The control unit has three LED’s (Fig.7) and one recessed button (Fig.7A):
Green LED – This will illuminate when receiving the signal. The LED will flash if the remote control is out of range (the
maximum range is 100 metres – without obstruction).
Blue LED –
This will illuminate if the temperature of the control unit is too high, or if the battery voltage is
too low or too high.
The Red LED will specify the error as follows:
Red LED –
Voltage too low <10V: LED will flash twice slowly.
Voltage too high >15V: LED will flash fast 5 times.
Electric current is too high (≥120A): LED will constantly flash.
Temperature is too high >80C: LED is on permanently.
Reset Button (Fig.7A) – This only needs to be used when replacing a remote control handset. Refer to the ’Before First
Use - Pairing the Handset and Control(s)’ section for reference on this procedure.
When the Control Unit is connected to power, it will perform a self-test automatically. The 3 LEDs will illuminate for 0.2
seconds, and turn off, which means there is no error and the unit is functioning correctly.
As a safety feature the Control Unit will switch off automatically if no button is pressed within 60 seconds. The Control
Unit will also turn off automatically if the mover is working constantly in one direction for longer than 3 minutes.

Install only 2 of the 3 ‘AAA’ batteries into the battery compartment of the Handset (see Fig.5A).
Press the Reset button (Fig.7A), the green LED will flash (press the reset button on both Control Units when using a full
four-motor Quattro
®
