NOTE:
Installers may
choose to furnish the control switch. The installation requires that the power line
(+12VDC) be attached to a dedicated 2A circuit breaker or a 2A in-line fuse must be installed between the
switch and power source. For easy access, locate the fuse close to the switch.
The following steps describe the switch and fuse installation using the switch and fuse kit available from Carefree.
1. Determine the location of the switch.
2. At the switch location, cut a 1 1/8" x 1 1/2" hole.
3. Wire the switch as shown below. Wire
terminals at the switch are .187, 18-24 awg
female disconnects.
NOTE:
Allow adequate slack in the 12VDC
power line so that the in-line fuse
(installed in step 4) can be accessed
from behind the switch.
4. Install the in-line fuse:
4.1. Near the switch, cut the red 12VDC power
line to the switch. Do not strip the
insulation.
4.2. Insert a wire end into one of the wire
channels until it butts up against the stop.
4.3. Fold that half of the connector body over
until the element contacts the wire. Use
pliers to crimp the connector closed.
4.4. Repeat for the second wire end.
4.5. Slide the fuse into the fuse port. Ensure
that is firmly seated.
5. Press the in-line fuse, wires and switch into the
mounting hole. Secure the switch using two (2) #6 x 1/2" screws.
6. Snap the switch bezel over the switch frame.
