INSTALLATION
m
CAUTION
PRODUCT DAMAGE
•
Disconnect power to the power relay module prior to HiPot testing
of the camper or the microprocessor will be damaged.
1. Install the power relay module in a clean, dry interior area protected
from moisture. Use the four (4) 5/32˝ diameter holes for mounting the
module base. Position the base on the mounting surface and secure
it using appropriate hardware for the wall material. Orient antennae
in the position shown (FIG 5 & 6-L). Permanently secure antenna to
mounting surface with appropriate hardware (FIG 5-P).
m CAUTION
PRODUCT DAMAGE
•
Failure to orient antennae properly will result in intermittent opera-
tion of the wireless remote system.
NOTE: Correct polarity must be observed as noted on the circuit board
next to 5 & 6-H. The unit will not function if the input power is installed
in reverse polarity. See
FIG 5 & 6.

2. SUPPLY POWER TO UNIT: The unit operates from a +12 VDC battery and must
be supplied through a 40 AMP circuit breaker (
FIG 5E & 6-E). Route the
#8 AWG, +12 VDC from the circuit breaker and the ground wiring, to the
terminal block (FIG 5H & 6-H).Terminate the wires in the labeled posi-
tions and tighten the screws with 16-18 in-lbs of force.
3. Route the two #10 AWG wires from each jack to the terminal block 5-I
& 6-I. Refer to the labels next to each terminal position for driver front,
passenger front, driver rear, and passenger rear jacks. Terminate the
wires for each jack and tighten the screws with 12-13 in-lbs of force.
4. Install the Activation Switch near the floor just inside the door of the
pickup camper (FIG 5-Q) or in an outside compartment of the fifth wheel.
Plug the flat cable into the left side of the power relay module (FIG 5-J &
6-J) and route to the location of the activation switch (
FIG 5 & 6-Q). Plug
other end of the cable into the back side of the activation switch.
NOTE: The Key Fob control has an Activate/Learn button on the relay mod-
ule instead of a separate Activation Switch.
