How to Re-program a DewEze Remote

Truck Decks | April 17, 2025

A new remote or unpaired existing remote requires reprogramming to communicate with the bale deck transmitter. This pairing process restores wireless control and gets your equipment up and running quickly.

Reprogramming the Remote

Remote reprogramming becomes necessary when:

  • You purchase a replacement remote
  • The existing remote loses pairing with the transmitter
  • You’re installing a new wireless system
  • Electronic interference has disrupted the connection

Step-by-Step Pairing Process

1. Access the Transmitter

Remove the valve cover on the headache rack to expose the transmitter and receiver components.

2. Power Down the System

Ensure no power is going to the receiver. Turn off the remote completely before proceeding.

3. Enter Programming Mode

Press and hold both the unload and float buttons on the remote. While holding these buttons, press the power button. Continue holding all three buttons until both LED indicators start blinking, then release.

4. Apply Power to Receiver

After releasing the buttons, apply power to the receiver.

5. Wait for Confirmation

Allow 5 seconds for the pairing process to complete. Watch for the green light on the transmitter to start blinking rapidly, indicating successful pairing.

6. Reinstall Cover

Once the green light confirms pairing, reinstall the valve cover on the headache rack.

Wireless Remote Benefits

DewEze bale decks include wireless remotes that operate up to 150 feet away from the truck. This range lets you control deck functions from inside the cab during winter weather or position yourself for optimal visibility when loading or unloading bales in the field.

The wireless system provides the same control as hardwired remotes without restricting operator movement or requiring you to stay in one location during bale handling operations.

Troubleshooting Failed Pairing

If the green light doesn’t blink after following these steps:

  • Verify the remote batteries have sufficient charge
  • Confirm power is reaching the receiver when applied
  • Check that all buttons were held properly during step 3
  • Ensure the receiver and transmitter are compatible models

Repeat the pairing sequence if the first attempt doesn’t succeed. The system may require multiple attempts if previous pairing data needs to clear.
