Extended Functions: All Plows
Programming a Macro
1. A macro is a user programmable function that
remembers pre-programmed functions. Example: User
may program the plow to raise and do a left swing. This
capability is built into every ProControl 2 Plus™
transmitter and can be used with all plows. The
transmitter can store 2 macro functions.
NOTE: All macros are based on time. Macros can be pro-
grammed and reprogrammed as needed.
2. Locate the two Macro buttons (Figure 1-21) labeled A
and B. Press and hold the macro button you want to
program until the back lights flash twice (approximately
two seconds). You are now in learning mode.
Figure 1-21
3. Perform functions that are desired. The maximum
number of steps per macro is six.
NOTE: All macros are based on time. In other words, the
macro will tell the plow to open and close valves and or
solenoid at timed intervals. Therefore, when program-
ming a macro, it is best to start at the extreme positive
position to ensure the pump runs long enough to position
the plow properly. For a lower function hold the joystick in
the lower position for at least two seconds.
4. Press the macro button for the macro you are
programing to exit learning mode.

5. Test macro by pushing the macro button for the
macro just created. Repeat steps 2-4 if desired results
have not been achieved.
6. Macro programming complete.
NOTE: For safety a running macro can be stopped by
pushing any plow function button.

Operation of Snow Plow Lights Using The
Energy Smart System with ProControl 2
Plus™ (For Vehicles that don't use a Snow
Plow Interface Module Kit)
When operating the snow plow low beam and high beam
lights, the vehicle headlight switch must be placed in the
PARK position so vehicle's headlights are not on at the
same time as the snow plow lights. (Figure 1-22)
