Controller Module:

The installer no longer has to route current through a switch to power an accessory. With the Pro Electric one side of the switch is grounded - most of the time it’s the common pin - and the normally open pole is connected to a controller sense wire. When the switch is closed the controller senses a ground and sends a data packet out on the two-wire bus which is then decoded by the output modules and the selected accessory is activated. For example, ground the control wire labeled “Brake Lights” and the brake lights illuminate.

Output Modules:

Power is distributed to accessories from locally mounted output modules. Fuses are not used at all because the solid state design monitors the current. Simply connect the accessory and the job is finished. If a short occurs the circuit opens immediately.

Basic Electrical functions:

The controller and output modules are pre-programed from the factory with specific functions. Note: All Controller inputs are activated by grounding the sense wires, with three exceptions:

1. Ignition
2. Start
3. ACC

These sense wires are pulled high (+12V) for two reasons; first is safety, and second, they are connected to the ignition switch which is powered from the Controller.
The Controller power to the ignition switch Battery pole is limited to 25Amps. Accessories like radio and heater fan may be tied to the ignition switch directly. .

Software:

There is nothing to program. The system was designed to be easier to install than a legacy system. A laptop isn’t needed with a legacy system and one isn’t needed with the Pro Electric system. Every Classic series ProE system will have a unique software code.
