How to pair a Sno-Way® ProControl™ 2 Plus

The ProControl 2 Plus is a wireless snowplow controller. Pairing connects the handheld controller to the receiver on the snowplow so you can operate the plow’s hydraulic functions.

Safety first: Park the vehicle, keep people clear of the plow, and make sure the plow is securely connected before beginning. The plow may move when the controller becomes active.

Step-by-step pairing instructions

These instructions are from Sno-Way International’s official ProControl 2 Plus programming guide.

1.Prepare the snowplow

  • Ensure the vehicle bumper connection is securely connected.
  • Confirm the vehicle supply voltage is 12V DC.
  • Verify the 14-pin connector between the receiver module and power unit is connected.
  • Connect the 4-pin connector as well, if your plow is equipped with one.
  • Check that the receiver LED is blinking red. This indicates that the receiver has power but is not communicating with a transmitter.

2. Turn on the ProControl 2 Plus

Turn on the handheld transmitter. Locate the Down Pressure® (DP) button, also referred to as the pairing button.

3. Put the transmitter into pairing mode

  1. Press and hold the DP or pairing button.
  2. Hold it for at least 5 seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.
  3. Release the button.
  4. The controller backlights should begin flashing continuously

4. Activate pairing mode on the receiver

  1. Locate the receiver module on the snowplow power unit.
  2. Find the small divot on the back of the receiver module.
  3. Place a magnet into the divot.
  4. Remove the magnet.
  5. The receiver LED should alternate between green and red, indicating receiver pairing mode.

5. Wait for the transmitter and receiver to pair

When pairing succeeds, look for these indicators:

  • The DP/plow light on the transmitter flashes 3 times.
  • The receiver LED flashes green 3 times.
  • The receiver LED then returns to flashing red.

6. Exit pairing mode

Once the successful-pairing indicators appear, press the DP or pairing button once to exit pairing mode.

7. Confirm the connection

After exiting pairing mode:

  1. The transmitter backlights and DP/plow light flash alternately 4 times.
  2. The DP/plow light flashes 3 times.
  3. The transmitter signal light and receiver LED begin flashing green.
  4. The controller is now paired and ready to operate the snowplow.

Troubleshooting

Pairing failed?

If the DP/plow light does not flash three times, or the receiver does not flash green three times before returning to red:

  1. Start over with the preparation steps.
  2. Repeat the pairing procedure.
  3. Verify that the receiver connectors are properly seated and that the system has power.
