Installing the ON/OFF Switch
The Heat Battery Kit provides the components for you to install a remote switch for enabling/disabling the heat
function of the battery, however it is not a requirement. If you have multiple batteries, we suggest that you configure
your daisy chain first, then, instead of installing the jumper from the stud to the positive terminal you install the switch.
See Figure 8 for an example.
Installation Steps:

1.
Choose a location that works best for your toggle switch within your
space. The kit comes with 25-foot wires so you can install somewhere
in the coach or right next to the batteries.
2.
If the location you chose requires drilling a hole, apply some painters
tape to the area you plan to drill. Doing so will reduce the chance of
material chipping around the hole.
3.
Drill a ¾ inch hole using a Forstner or any other appropriately sized
drill bit. Be sure to check behind the surface you are drilling so you
do not accidentally damage something when you poke through.
4.
After drilling the hole, remove the nut from the switch body and test
fit the switch. Use sandpaper if necessary. You want the switch to fit
snug, but not so snug that you damage the threads when installing.
5.
Once you have a good fit, take the quick disconnect sides of the Heat
Battery Kit harness and pass them through the plastic nut you just
removed. Ensure that the teeth on the nut are facing towards the
quick disconnects. Then feed the quick disconnects through the back
of the hole you just drilled. See Figure 9.
6.
Connect the wires to the back of the rocker switch. Please note that
it does not matter the order or location of the quick disconnects on
the back of the rocker switch. Give the connections a decent tug to
ensure that the connection is solid and will not fall off due to
vibration. See Figure 10.
7.
Thread the plastic nut onto the switch and tighten by hand. Do not
over-
tighten. The “|” indicates that the switch is in the ON position.
When the “O” is pressed down the switch is in the open or OFF
position. See Figure 11 for an example if the switch in the ON
position.
