“Professional Technology to

Pro-Tec Your Investment”

Congratulations

on your purchase of

a state-of-the-art

trailer security system.

This system has been

designed to

provide years of

trouble-free operation.

What It Does

The Pro-Tec System One is designed to monitor
and protect your trailer and its contents while at
a race, rest stop, hotel, restaurant, etc. This is
accomplished by door switches and a shock
sensor. Any movement of the trailer or opening
of a door will trigger the alarm. This will cause
the electrical brakes of the trailer to be applied,
running lights will then flash, and the siren will
sound. If you have the optional pager system,
the pager will be notified up to one mile away,
thus alerting you of a potential problem.

This device complies with part 12 of FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful inter­ference, and

2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

The system requires no specific maintenance.

Your remote control is powered by a miniature
12 v. battery, type GP23A, that will last about
a year under normal use. When the battery
weakens, operating range will be reduced and
the LED on the remote light will dim.

This Owner’s Guide should help you get the
most out of your system. Please take the time
to read it thoroughly, prior to using the system.

vehicle wheels and tow trailer over 2X4s.

Further adjustment might be necessary according
to your environment.

*Pro-Tec System One Plus only.

Nuisance Prevention Circuitry

Your system has Nuisance Prevention Circuitry
(NPC). It prevents annoying repetitive trigger
sequences due to faulty door pin switches or
environmental conditions such as thunder,
jackhammers, airport noise, etc.

Here’s how it works:

Lets say the alarm triggers three times. Each time
the same sensor or switch is triggering the alarm.
The three triggers are within 60 minutes of each
other. NPC will interpret this pattern of triggers as
false alarms. After the third trigger, NPC ignores
or bypasses that sensor or switch (along with any
other sensors or switches sharing the same zone).

If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the system
while it is being bypassed, the 60-minute bypass
period will start over. This ensures that a sensor
that continuously triggers will remain bypassed.

Doors are covered by NPC differently: If the alarm
is triggered by an open door for three full cycles
(one and one half minutes), the doors will be
bypassed until the trigger ceases.

NOTE:

not reset this function! The only ways to reset
a bypassed zone are for it to not trigger for
60 minutes or disconnect power to the control
module and re-connect power.

Arming and disarming the system does

Using Your System

ARMING

You can turn on, or arm, the system by pressing
button #1 of your transmitter. When the system is
armed, you will see the running lights flash once.

DISARMING

1. If siren is not sounding

Press button #1 once.
Running lights will flash at least twice.
Trailer is now disarmed and safe to enter.

2. If siren is sounding

Press button #1 once.
This will silence the siren and
stop the running lights flashing.

Note. Trailer alarm is still armed.

Press button #1 again, this will flash
the running lights at least two times.
Trailer is now disarmed and safe to enter.

High Security Disarm

Your system includes a High Security Disarm
feature. During the trigger sequence, using the
transmitter to disarm the system will only stop
the trigger sequence (the alarm will stop and the
running lights will stop flashing). However, the
system will remain armed. This is extremely useful if
you must stop the system from sounding but are
unable to check the trailer visually. The trigger will
stop but the trailer will remain armed.

Optional Pro-Tec System One Plus

Pager will notify you of alarm up to 1 mile away.
There is also a pager key pad that can be used
to notify pager without having alarm trigger.

IMPORTANT: The brake safety switch must be

turned off before trailer is to be towed. This
switch is to prevent accidental trailer brake
activation while towing.

NOTE:

alarm brake feature will not work.

If this switch is not installed, the

Troubleshooting
