For GND, run a minimum 14 awg wire to chassis ground. Suitable ground would be the vehicle chassis
or conductive structure connected to the chassis.
For +12Vdc, Run a minimum 14 awg wire from the power distribution panel (auxiliary battery circuit) or
equivalent. The circuit should be protected by a 15-amp fuse.
NOTE:
If the wire run is 30 feet or longer, use 12awg wire to prevent voltage drop. Use the
appropriate wire terminals for the wire size.
The BT12 module leads are 6" in length. If the distance between the module and the switch is
greater than 6", the installer must furnish splice wires for the extra distance. Use appropriate size
wire gauges. Use appropriate sized butt splices to secure connections.
The BT12 module provides an ignition lockout option. When the “IGN LOCK” (green wire) is
connected to the vehicle PCM or other switched source the following parameters are set:
a) If Open = Awning Active
b) If tied to GND = RTL (Retract Then Lock) – Awning retracts, extend command disabled
c) If tied to +12Vdc = Standard – Extend command disabled
The LED connection is optional to provide LED controls through the app for white LEDS only.
White LEDS can also be installed per the standard LED installation without BT12 Controls. RGB
lights must be installed per the standard RGB installation.
Carefree LED lights uses a 2 amp circuit draw. The BT12 limits the output current to 2 amps. If
using a different brand of high output LED’s that draws more than 2 amps, the lights will flicker
and not perform as expected.
The awning disable switch is a single throw; single pole switch used with OEM Multiplexing
Control Systems. Switch is furnished by installer.
