Extended Functions: All Plows
Programming a Macro
1. A macro is a user programmable function that
remembers pre-programmed functions. Example: User
may program the plow to raise and do a left swing. This
capability is built into every ProControl™ transmitter and
can be used with all plows. The ProControl™ transmitter
can store up to 3 macro functions.
NOTE: All macros are based on time. Macros can be pro-
grammed and reprogrammed as needed.
2. Locate the round button (Figure 1-8, G) that is
labeled macro. Press and hold macro button for two
seconds until LCD screen displays “Begin Learning.”
Figure 1-8
3. Perform functions that are desired. As buttons are
pressed, top line of LCD will display plow action and
bottom line of LCD will display time duration. The
maximum number of steps per macro is ten.
NOTE: All macros are based on time. In other words, the
macro will tell the plow to open and close valves and or
solenoid at timed intervals. Therefore, when program-
ming a macro, it is best to start at the extreme positive
position to ensure the pump runs long enough to position
the plow properly.
4. Press A, B or C (Figure 1-8, H) depending on desired
storage location for macro.
5. Test macro. Repeat steps 2-4 if desired results have
not been achieved.
6. Macro programming complete.
