3.7 ELECTRICAL ASSEMBLY
AGAIN - PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE BATTERY AND MAINS LEAD ARE BOTH
DISCONNECTED FROM THE CARAVAN BEFORE COMMENCING INSTALLATION
NB. The terms right hand (UK Nearside) and left hand (UK Offside) referred to on the
electronics control box are determined by standing in front of the caravan (at the hitch) facing
the caravan.
The recommended site for the Electronics Control Box (ECB) is inside the caravan in the dry
(bedding) locker behind the battery box. The ECB should be screwed to the floor using the
screws provided. Please note some caravans have under floor cables and/or pipes,
checks must be made to ensure it is safe to drill. If safe to do so then drill four 10mm
diameter holes in the floor approximately 150mm from the control box for the motor wires to be
fed into the caravan. Start routing the wires from the motor, remembering to leave a small
amount of slack cable near the motors to allow for their movement when the drive rollers are
engaged. The motor wires (two each) can now to be routed along the underside of the caravan
floor using the P clips provided (securing of the cables can be made with a suitable staple gun
and the correct size staples – not provided). Care should be taken to ensure that the cabling is
securely fitted so that no chafing can occur and that it does not sag. Also ensure cables do not
make contact with the steel chassis (unless suitable cable clips are used – not provided). If the
Powrtouch is fitted in front of the wheels then the ECB should be wired as shown below in Fig
6A1.
Should the Powrtouch Freedom be fitted behind the wheels then the motor wires for Motor 1
(LH) should be wired to M2 and the motor wires for Motor 2 (RH) should be wired to M1. The
polarity of M1 & M2 should be reversed from the positions shown in Fig 6A1.
