SYSTEM PLANNING
Make a list of devices and plan your connections.
Prior to beginning Installation, make a list of all components you plan to include in your RedVision
®
system. Being logical in this stage will make configuration much easier.
Try to connect each Output and its controlling Input on like-numbered channels. For example, a
canopy light connected to C3 would be controlled by a corresponding switch connected to E3.
Name channels in a logical way, so that it's easy to find and edit the channels later:
Name outputs based on their function in a concise way e.g. Living Room Light, Fridge, Water
Pump.
Name input switches based on their position in the vehicle e.g. Entry Switch 1, Bed Switch Left,
Outside Switch. This makes configuring the function of the entry switch much easier than if it
was generically called ‘Switch 5’.
Make sure all system components are compatible.
Read the installation information and refer to the technical specifications (page43) before you
begin your install to confirm that all components are compatible with your planned system; e.g.
components must be 12 V nominal, and continuous current must not exceed 10 A per output and
40 A for the system.
Plan the physical arrangement of the system.
Plan where each component will be mounted so that components that require regular access are in
a convenient location.
Consider future expansion.
At some point, you may want to add components to your RedVision
®
system, or upgrade existing
ones. Before installing, think about ways you can future-proof your installation to save time and
money later.
