INSTALLATION Receiver Installation on Plow Power Pack RF Exposure (OET Bulletin 65) 1. Loosen the four screws holding the pump cover in place and then lift and remove the pump cover. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, this transmitter should only be used or installed at locations where there is at least 20cm separation distance between the antenna and all persons. 2. Remove the 1/4" x 6" capscrew and 1/4" nylock nut from the top of the two channels located in front of the power unit reservoir. 3. Slide the receiver box into the two channels with the exposed wires of the receiver box positioned toward the front of the plow. Industry Canada Statement 4. Re-install the 1/4" x 6" capscrew and 1/4" nylock nut previously removed and tighten to 7 to 9 Ft. Lb. torque. The term "IC" before the certification/registration number only signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met. 5. Connect the 12 terminal connector on the receiver unit to the 12 terminal connector on the snow plow power pack. Programming Receiver to Learn Transmitter Code (Wireless Control) WARNING The connectors must be plugged in correctly. The connectors are keyed; you must line up the slots with the tabs when plugging in the connectors. Failure to do so WILL CAUSE FAILURE of the receiver. When plugged in correctly, the wire colors on each connector will match. 6. Connect the single black ground wire on the receiver to the 5/16" bolt where the plow ground wire is attached to the power unit. FCC Statement of Conditions Compliance Statement (Part 15.19) This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two 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. Warning (Part 15.21) Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Hard-wired control systems do not require the receiver to "learn" the transmitter code. Owners with hard-wired controls can proceed to the next section. Every transmitter has its own unique code. In order to operate the plow, the receiver must "learn" the transmitters code. The receiver will only function with a transmitter it has been programmed for. That way several wireless units with different transmitter codes can function in the same area. Each receiver can "learn" one transmitter code. WARNING More than one receiver can "learn" the same transmitter code. The transmitter will operate all plows with receivers that have been programmed to "learn" its code. A receiver must have the old code erased before a new one can be added. The receivers may have "learned" a code at the factory. All new receivers must be erased as noted below before "learning" new codes. To erase any previously "learned" codes: 1. Place a metal object (screwdriver or pocket knife) across the contacts. The receiver is located under the pump cover. The contacts protrude through the potting near the LED on the same side of the receiver that the wire harness is on. 2. Hold the metal object across the contacts until the LED slowly blinks. 3. Remove the metal object. Programming a receiver to "learn" a transmitter code: 1. Turn on the transmitter that the receiver is to be programmed to. VEHICLE MOUNTING SURFACE 1/4"-20 NUT 2. Place a metal object (screwdriver or pocket knife) across the contacts on the receiver. When the green LED on the receiver glows, remove the metal object. 3. Press any function on the transmitter. Hold the function button until the LED on the receiver turns off. 1/4"-20 BOLT HARNESS BRACKET 4. Release the function key on the transmitter. The receiver has now "learned" the transmitter code and will return to normal operation. Figure 1-2 If the receiver has already "learned" a code, the LED will blink fast for five seconds after the metal object is removed from the contacts. You must erase the code before adding a new one. 3. Install four screws through bracket into harness connector flange and tighten. One of the screws will also fasten the strap for the weatherproof cover. (See Figure 1-3) Wire Harness Installation Control Harness (Hard-Wired Control) NOTE: Wireless control systems do not require the control harness to be installed. Wireless owners may proceed to next section. Remove the wire harness components from the bag of harness parts included in the control package. Install Control Harness Bracket 1. Using bracket as a template, mark and drill two 9/32" holes into vehicle bumper or other suitable location for mounting of harness bracket. (See Figure 1-1) A. Hold bracket in position B. Mark holes for drilling C. Drill 9/32" holes for mounting HARNESS CONNECTOR FLANGE MOUNTING SCREW WEATHERPROOF COVER Figure 1-3 4. When operating vehicle without plow attached, install weatherproof cover onto connector to protect electrical contacts. (See Figure 1-4) WEATHERPROOF COVER INSTALLED OVER CONTACTS Figure 1-4 Figure 1-1 2. Install 1/4"-20 bolts up through bracket and vehicle bumper or other mounting surface. Secure with 1/4"-20 nylon locking nuts and tighten. (See Figure 1-2) Install Control Harness 1. Run the 3 terminal connector on the receiver unit around the reservoir and along the left A-frame angle toward the vehicle. 2. Determine a routing for the 12 ft. long harness from the vehicle bumper at the left side of the power pack through the vehicle engine compartment to the cab of the vehicle. 3. Look for an existing hole, with a rubber grommet, in the vehicle firewall. The hole must be 5/16" diameter or larger. connector are numbered adjacent to each hole). The white wire must be inserted in hole #2 and the green wire must be inserted in hole #3. BOOT STRAIN RELIEF CONNECTOR CAUTION BLACK WIRE WHITE WIRE NOTE: If the hole has to be drilled through carpeting and/or insulation pull carpet and/or insulation back and out of the way. After hole has been drilled, mark back side of carpet and/or insulation where harness will pass through. Mark location to be cut with a "X" then, using a sharp utility knife, cut along the "X". Route harness through drilled hole and cut in carpet and/or insulation. Reinstall carpet and/or insulation. This will allow for a clean repair should the plow ever be removed. Simply place a piece of duct tape on the back side of the carpet and press into place. This will virtually hide the cut in the carpet where the harness was routed. 5. Drill a 5/16" hole through the vehicle firewall. CAUTION Keep wiring harness away from moving parts, sharp edges and areas of extreme heat to avoid electrical failure and fire. 6. Insert wiring harness through rubber grommet and firewall, then install grommet into firewall. 7. Insert harness wires through boot and then through strain relief (See Figure 1-5). Push the pins on the end of each of the three wires into the back side of the connector (the end with external threads and numbers 1 thru 4 on the surface). The black wire must be inserted into hole #1 of the connector (note that the holes in the 4. If an existing 5/16" hole is not available, look for an area to drill a 5/16" hole that satisfies these conditions; • DO NOT put a hole in such a spot that will force the wiring harness, when installed, to interfere or be routed behind accelerator pedal, brake pedal, clutch pedal, parking brake or associated linkage. PINS HARNESS WIRES DO NOT drill any holes until a thorough visual inspection is performed to determine that the area around the hole to be drilled, on both sides of the firewall, is clear of any obstacles such as brake lines, linkage or vehicle wiring. BLANK GREEN WIRE Figure 1-5 CAUTION The three wires MUST be inserted into the proper holes in the connector. Failure to place the wires in the proper holes in the connector can result in failure of the transmitter. 8. Use a small screwdriver or scribe to push the contacts into the connector until a slight "click" is heard or felt. Visually inspect the connector to make sure the pins are all the way through the housing. Then pull lightly on the wire to make sure the contact is locked into position. If the contact does not come out of the connector, it is properly installed. NOTE: A contact insertion tool is available from Sno-Way, part number 96105325. 9. After the three wires have been inserted into the connector, screw the strain relief onto the connector and then screw the boot onto the strain relief. 10. After the harnesses have all been properly placed, inspect them to insure that the harnesses are clear of all obstructions and sharp objects and not near any areas of excessive heat. Then, tie the harnesses securely with plastic tie straps (provided) to ensure that the harnesses will stay in place. 11. After all harnesses are in place and all electrical connections have been made. replace the pump cover and tighten the four screws which hold the cover in place. OPERATION Theory of Operation Functions - Joystick Straight Blade 1. The Sno-Way Snow Plow Control System includes a hand held controller. When a switch is actuated, the controller sends a signal out to the snow plow through the plow control harness indicating which operation is to be performed, such as ’Raise’, ’Swing Right’ and ’DP On’. The joystick controller contains all of the control functions necessary for the operation of your Sno-Way snowplow. The joystick on the top of the controller controls the ’Raise’, ’Lower’, and ’Angle’ functions. Pulling the joystick toward you will ’Raise’ the plow. Pushing the joystick away from you will ’Lower’ the plow. Moving the joystick to the right will swing the blade to the right. Moving the joystick to the left will swing the blade to the left. There are two buttons on the front of the controller. The button on the right is the ’Down Pressure’ button. Pressing the down pressure button will turn on the down pressure, and a red indicator on the top right corner of the controller will glow. Pressing the button again will turn the down pressure off. The button on the left is the power button. A yellow indicator light on the top left of the controller will glow when the controller is ’On’. 2. The second key part of the Control System is the receiver on the plow. It receives the signal from the hand held controller and processes the signal to open or close the proper electrical switches to turn solenoids and valves on or off so that the hydraulic system of the plow power unit will perform the required operations. 3. 12V DC power is fed into the receiver from the battery terminal of the start solenoid. 12V DC power is then fed out of the receiver to the start solenoid primary circuit and to the coils of the valve solenoids. The ground wires for the start solenoid primary circuit and the coils of the valve solenoids return to the circuit board of the receiver where switches on the circuit board open or close the ground to complete or break the circuit to each coil and solenoid. 4. A low voltage power circuit leads from the receiver to the hand held controller. This powers the circuit board of the hand held controller and supplies the low voltage power needed to process the signal from the switches on the hand held unit and send a signal back to the receiver on the plow. Controller Operation Functions - Handheld Straight Blade The hand held controller contains all of the control functions necessary for the operation of your Sno-Way snow plow. The curved rocker switch in the center of the touchpad controls the ’Raise’ and ’Lower’ functions. Pressing the forward portion of the rocker switch will ’Raise’ the plow. Pressing the rearward portion of the rocker switch will ’Lower’ the plow. Pressing the raised switch on the right side of the touchpad will swing the blade to the right. Pressing the raised switch on the left side of the touchpad will swing the blade to the left. The round button in the lower center is the ’Down Pressure’ switch. Pressing the switch will turn on the down pressure, and a red indicator light in the center of the switch will glow. Pressing the switch again will turn the down pressure off. The round button in the lower right is the ’On-Off’ switch. A green indicator light in the center of the switch will glow when the controller is ’On’. The round button in the lower left has no function at this time, and was designed into the controller for possible future use. Functions - Handheld V Plow The hand held controller contains all of the control functions necessary for the operation of your Sno-Way snow plow. The curved rocker switch in the center of the touchpad controls the ‘Raise’ and ‘Lower’ functions. Pressing the forward portion of the rocker switch will ‘Raise’ the plow. Pressing the rearward portion of the rocker switch will ‘Lower’ the plow. There are four raised switches that surround the ‘Raise-Lower’ rockers switch. To move the plow so both wings angle right press the two right switches at the same time. To move the plow so both wings angle left, press the two left switches at the same time. To ‘Scoop’ or ‘Vee Forward’ press the top two left and right switches at the same time. To ‘Vee Backward’ press the bottom two left and right switches at the same time. Either wing can be moved independently. To move the right wing forward, press the top right button. To move the right wing backward, press the bottom right button. The left side operation is just the opposite of the right side. The round button in the lower center is the ‘Down Pressure’ switch. Pressing the switch will turn on the down pressure, and a red indicator light in the center of the switch will glow. Pressing the switch again will turn the down pressure off and return the plow into float mode. The round button in the lower right is the ‘On-Off’ switch. A green indicator light in the center of the switch will glow when the controller is ‘On’. The round button in the lower left has no function at this time, and was designed into the controller for possible future use Functions - Joystick V Plow The joystick controller contains all of the control functions necessary for the operation of your Sno-Way snowplow. The joystick on the top left side of the controller controls the ’Raise’ and ’Lower’ functions. Pulling the joystick toward you will ’Raise’ the plow. Pushing the joystick away from you will ’Lower’ the plow. The joystick on the top right side controls the wings. To move the plow so both wings angle right, move the joystick to the right. To move the plow so both wings angle left, move the joystick to the left. To ’Scoop’ or ’Vee Forward’, push the joystick away from you. To ’Vee Backward’, pull the joystick toward you. Either wing can be moved independently. Pushing the joystick forward and to the left will move the left wing forward. Pulling the joystick back and to the left will move the left wing backward. Pushing the joystick forward and to the right will move the right wing forward. Pulling the joystick back and to the right will move the right wing backward. There are two buttons on the front of the controller. The button on the right is the ’Down Pressure’ button. Pressing the down pressure button will turn on the down pressure and a red indicator on the top right of the controller will glow. Pressing the switch again will turn the down pressure off. The button on the left is the power button. A yellow indicator light on the top left of the controller will glow when the controller in ’On’. Start/Stop Procedure for Controllers To prevent the controller from inadvertently and accidentally being switched on or off, a sequence is required to turn the controller on or off. To turn the controller ’On’, press the ’On-Off’ or ’Power’ button and ’Down Pressure’ button at the same time. A green or yellow indicator will glow to indicate that the controller is ’On’. To turn the controller ’Off’, press and hold the ’On-Off’ or ’Power’ button for one second. The controller will turn off and the yellow or green indicator will stop glowing. Power Saving Mode The hand held controller uses a very small amount of electrical current anytime it is ’On’. To minimize current use when the controller is inactive, the system has a ’Sleep’ mode to shut itself down. If no control function is pressed for a time period of approximately 60 minutes, the controller will shut down by itself. When this happens, the start sequence procedure must be used to re-start the controller. Using the Controller to Aid in Mounting and Removing the Snow Plow The hand held controller can be used near the snow plow when mounting or removing the plow with the aid of the power jackstand. NOTE: For proper procedure in mounting and removal of the snow plow, refer to your Sno-Way plow Owner’s Manual. For Hard-Wired Units Disconnect the cable for the hand held controller at the harness connection inside the vehicle cab and take the controller to the front of the vehicle. Disconnect the plow control harness from the vehicle control harness at the connector at the front of the vehicle. Connect the hand held controller harness to the plow control harness. The hand held controller can now be used just as it is normally used in the cab of the vehicle. For Wireless Units Remove the hand held controller from the cab, carry it to the front of the truck and use normally. WARNING When using the hand held controller near the plow, be especially careful of the movement of any plow components when any switch on the controller is actuated. Stand clear of the snow plow at all times to avoid being struck by any plow parts. FAILURE TO HEED CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. When plow mounting or removal is completed, disconnect the hand held controller and, if the plow is being mounted, reconnect the harness of the hand held controller to the vehicle harness connector in the cab.
