What It Does

The Pro-Tec System One is designed to monitor and protect your trailer and its contents while at
a race, job site, rest stop, hotel, restaurant, etc. This is accomplished by door switches and an
adjustable shock sensor. A shock/jolt to 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 15 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.

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.

STEP ONE
Deciding on component locations

• SIREN
1. Keep it away from heat sources.
2. Mount it where a thief cannot easily disconnect it.
3. Point siren down so water does not collect in it.

• CONTROL UNIT
1. Mount securely inside trailer.
2. The higher the control unit is mounted in the trailer, the better the transmitter range will be.

• SWITCHES
1. Mount pin switch.
2. Make sure switch bracket is mounted to trailer and properly grounded.

• OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
1. Mount pager AM/FM antenna outside of trailer.

Note: AM/FM antenna not included. If Trailer has existing AM/FM antenna both radio and pager can use the same antenna. 

WIRING

1.  Route wiring through trailer so chaffing and/or pinching will not occur.

2.  Solder or crimp connectors are trouble free if done properly.

3.  Insulate all connections with shrink tube or quality electrical tape.

4.  When wiring control box keep wires away from internal antenna.

INSTALLATION

1.  Installation of 12 volt full size automotive battery, grounded to trailer and kept charged is needed for proper operation.

2.  Use 20 gauge wire from door switches to control unit.  Use separate wire for each door and connect to terminal block marked for that door.

3.   Connect 14 gauge wire from trailer running lights circuit to terminal block. NOTE:  The control unit is able to handle 15 amp load.

4.  Connect 14 gauge wire from positive side of trailer brake circuit to terminal block.

Note: 12 Volt automotive battery must be grounded to trailer chassis.

5.  Mount brake safety switch in convenient and secure location.  Connect switch to terminal block.

5a.If brake safety toggle switch is left in the on position before towing siren will sound upon brake compression. (on most factory vehicles)

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:  If this switch is not installed, the alarm brake feature will not work.

6.  Connect siren (red wire) to control module terminal block, connect (black wire) to trailer ground.

7.  Connect 12 gauge wire from negative battery terminal to control module terminal block.

8.  Connect 12 guage wire from positive battery terminal to control terminal block. 

8a.  Improper wiring of 12V positive or negative wire will damage unit.

For Pro-Tec System One Plus package:

9.  Connect pager to control unit.

 Follow Pager Instructions.

* 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 two times. NPC will interpret this pattern of triggers as false alarms.
NPC ignores or bypasses that sensor or switch (along with any other sensors or switches sharing
the same zone).

This ensures that a sensor that continuously triggers will remain bypassed.

Using Your System

ARMING

You can turn on, or arm, the system by pressing the transmitter button or turning the key switch. When the system is armed, you will see the running lights flash once.

DISARMING

1. Press button or key switch once. Running lights will flash twice. Trailer is now disarmed and safe to enter.
2. If siren is sounding Hold button or key switch once. This will silence the siren and stop the running lights flashing.
3. Once the system is disarmed after the alarm has been triggered, it will display what set the
alarm off. After the two flashes for the disarm and a two second pause, it will display:
     1. One flash for the side door
     2. Two flashes for the generator door
     3. Three flashes for the shock sensor. To adjust the shock sensor simply turn the potentiometer. To make the unit more sensitive, turn the dial to the left and to make it less sensitive, turn it to the right.

After these codes are displayed, they are erased from memory so the user should look for these codes when disarming the system.

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: If this switch is not installed, the alarm brake feature will not work.
