How can I test to see if my TrailSafe is working properly?

To test the TrailSafe to confirm it is working properly:

1. Before starting, ensure the TrailSafe pull pin is in place.
2. Power up the TrailSafe from your 12V battery as per the wiring instructions in the manual. The LED will display a continuous flashing purple light, indicating the first stage of calibration is in progress. This will last for up to 5 minutes.
3. When the first stage is completed, the LED will display a solid purple light. When this happens, pull the safety pin out. The LED will display a continuous flashing purple light again, indicating the second stage of calibration is in progress. This will last for up to 1 minute.
4. If the LED indicates an alternating purple and red light, the wiring voltage drop in the black/red wire (+v) and/or the white wire (-v) is exceeding 10% of the nominal voltage. Check the wiring connections and consider increasing the black/red and/or the white wire size.
5. Once completed, LED will display a solid purple light again. At this stage, put the pull pin back in. The LED will then display a status indicator. For details, refer to the LED Status Indicators section of the TrailSafe manual.
