    just another bit of insight is that the red arc is able to be manually braked in automatic mode by pressing the knob in. It will brake at the setting(number) you have it set at. I use it on steep hills all the time while in auto

    I fitted one to my car last weekend and found it worked a lot smoother than the previous Techonshi unit. I've run out of places to fit the rotary dial so I placed it under the sub tank switch for ease of use.

    A couple of times recently when braking on gravel/corrugated roads I've briefly locked the wheels of the Tvan & the Towpro has then recalibrated itself. Not really a problem, but don't know why it's done it.

    Unit can't tell what surface it is baking on, I have turned the dial down a bit when not on sealed surface, also have to turn down to 1 or 2 when there is no car on the trailer & it is too light.

    Redarc Tow Pro Brake controller.

    It recommends in the instructions when off road to use User Controlled Mode (Green LED)

    Cuppa; maybe the unit was shaken so much by the corrugated road that it didn't know what direction it was traveling so it recalibrated once things calmed down a bit
    Cheers

    I suspect I just had it turned up too high as GeeYou8 suggests. Hadn't changed it from when on bitumen. Operating with blue light (changing to red when brakes applied). Following locking the trailer wheels under moderate braking on loose surface ( gravel/slowing for cattle grid) the light changed to flashing green, but returned to blue after driving on a short distance ..... which I believe is what happened when I first calibrated it.
