Operating Remote with the Thunder Electric Tarp System
Powering on or off the electric tarp system.
• Open the lid on the remote and observe the buttons illuminate indicating the
remote is active.
• Press and hold the “TARP OPEN” and “TARP CLOSE” buttons simultaneously on
the remote for 3-5 seconds or until the keypad status LED on the front of the trailer
has illuminated.

One Touch Operation - The one touch function is fully automated. The system will
stop when fully opened or closed.
• Press and hold the desired directional button on the remote for 1 ½ seconds or
until the keypad status light turns solid green on the front of the trailer. Release
the button and the keypad status light will start ashing green indicating one touch
operation. The tarp will travel in that direction automatically and stop when it is fully
open or closed.
CAUTION! - When any button on the remote is pressed, the status LED will ash rapidly indicating it is transmitting
a signal. The status LED on the remote will ash continuously when the remote batteries have 25% charge left. Never
travel with the tarp in a partially covered position. The trailer should always be covered when traveling. Always close
the remote lid when not in use to prevent accidental button presses that can cause unwanted operation of the tarp or
trap systems. When ip lid is in the closed position the remote is deactivated.
