Installation and use of your “SET ‘N TOW” light system
“SET ‘N TOW” is made up of three units, one transmitter and two
receivers, left & right. The small transmitter is attached by magnet
to the towing vehicle and plugs into a four-pin flat trailer socket.
The standard wire configuration is WHITE = GR OUND, BROWN
= TAILLIGHTS, YELLOW = LEFT TURN, GREEN = RIGHT
TURN. Should you need to adapt to the plug on the transmitter
make sure that configuration is followed. THE TOWING
VEHICLES TAILLIGHT CIRCUIT SUPPLIES OPERATING
POWER FOR THE TRANSMITTER. This means that to use the
system simply turn on either the parking or headlights and the
transmitter is ready. You may hot-wire the BROWN wire, so that
the transmitter will be on all the time, thus eliminating the need to
use the towing vehicles running lights.
The receivers should be placed on the vehicle under tow in a
position that the towing vehicle's driver can monitor their operation
in his rear view mirrors. The lanyard rope is supplied as a s afety
attachment and should be used especially if the lights are attached
to a vertical surface. Simply pinch it in a door, trunk, hood, or
rolled up window. When placing on the vehicle, be sure that the
magnetic base is clean of foreign material and is attached soundly
to the vehicle under tow. The 3 position switch labeled, DAYOFF-NIGHT, is used to t urn on the receiver in either the D AY or
NIGHT position. In the NIGHT position it will also turn on the
taillights. The taillights are NOT operated by remote, so they must
be manually turned on when using at night. The other light
functions will follow what the towing vehicles lights are doing, left
turn, right turn, brake, and 4 way. Each receiver has a
rechargeable lead acid gel cell 12-volt battery that is recharged via
an external plug. There is also an LED indicator light marked
“Low Battery”. This light is designed to come on when the battery
has drained to a point that it must be recharged. Each system
comes with a recharging cord that can be plugged into a cigar
lighter type socket to recharge the batteries. It is a good idea to
keep the receivers plugged into the charging circuit while not in
use, so that they will always be fully charged. Recharging can be
done while the lights are in or out of service.
The system will work in almost all situations; however, you may
find one where they don’t. Remember the radio signals coming
out of the transmitter antenna have to be received by the receiver
antenna, so placement can affect operations in some cases.
A longevity battery test was preformed on the system. The lights
on the towing vehicle were placed in the 4 way flash mode. This
put the system under the most extreme battery drain. They ran for
7 hours 40 minute before the low battery indicator came on.
Optional equipment that is also available: Pump up suction cup
mounts. These cups are used with the receivers when magnetic
attachment to the vehicle under tow is undesirable.
Note: Each system is preset with a binary address code. It is set in
the transmitter and the same code is set in both receivers. All of
the units are sealed to keep out moisture. So if you should, for any
reason open them, make sure they are resealed when closing.
