3 OPERATION
3.3 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.
