oOur patent pending technology eliminates the need to wire your LED lights
directly to a switch panel or control console in the cab. Instead, our design
operates by simply tapping into power and ground and communicating
over the power lines.
Compatible with all Power-Link products.
Lifetime Warranty
Installation Instructions:
1. Decide which power source you will be tapping into.
a. Connecting to a switched 12V power source is recommended.
i. Red = 12V+ / White = Ground
2. Mount your 6-button control pad where you can easily access it to activate your
system.
3. Link your Power-Link lights and accessories to the control by following the
‘linking procedure guidelines’ provided in the instructions that came with them.
General Operating Tips:
1. When the control and Power-Link lights have power, they will be ready to
communicate at the push of a button.
2. The six buttons on the control pad are labeled 1-6, or according to their function if
purchased with a light bar (i.e. left arrow, center out, right arrow, strobe, work
lights, and auxiliary).
3. The work light function (button 5) and auxiliary function (button 6) can work in
conjunction with, or separate from, any of the arrow or strobe patterns (buttons 1-
4), however you cannot operate any two or more buttons between 1-4
simultaneously.
Instructions for Adjusting Controller Signal Power:
Some PLC installations require more signal power than other installs. The
following is an explanation of the procedure for setting the output power level.
1. Preparing your control
a. Apply 12V power to the 6-button control. Verify that the PLC indicator is
flashing red/green. Also, verify that all other functions are “activating” on
the control.
b. REMOVE POWER
2. While pressing and holding the top left (Button 1/Left Arrow), reapply power.
a. The upper left LED will stay on steady.

b. The current power level setting is displayed on the bottom 3 LEDs. See
example picture.
3. Press the upper right button to change the power level.
a. Each press will increment the power setting one position. Once the max
level is reached, the power level will loop back to zero with the next press
of the button.
(Low Power) (High Power)
4. To finish the power level setup, disconnect and reconnect power.
5. To verify the power setting, repeat step 2.
Warranty/Service:
1. As with all TowMate products, there is a lifetime warranty that covers any
electronic failures.
2. If you have any questions, or think you may require service, please call (800)
680-4455, and we will be happy to help.

Eliminate the need to run wires all the way from a central controller to the light
to be controlled. Instead, tie into power and ground from either component
and they will communicate.
