Control Box
4 Button Model (FROM October 2015)
The 4-button model has two modes of operation;
-
Count Mode:
Unit counts up from 0 e.g. 1,2,3,4,5 indefinitely, until the count is paused or the unit
switched off. If the counter reaches 999 then it will reset to 000.
-
Countdown Mode:
The desired drop count is set using the up / down arrows in increments of 5. The
unit will then count down and stop at zero.
The unit can be fixed to a suitable surface on the towing vehicle using screws through the fixing lugs
hidden under the two flaps on the left and right of the unit.
