Caravans
Power can be taken directly from the leisure battery on the caravan. The ignition cable should be connected to 
the ignition key circuit which can be traced using the charts below. The caravan will either be fitted with the 
13 Pin Euro Connector or have two 7/8 Pin connectors. 

                                        

Caution:

 All electrical work should be carried out by a competent person. 

If in doubt seek advice from a qualified electrician.
 

Electrical installation:

Whilst the adhesive is curing prepare the electrical connections for the Control Box. The Control Box 
requires a permanent 12V supply and a secondary 12V supply that provides power when the engine of the 
vehicle is running. Note: the brake light circuit is not suitable. 

It is recommended to create a new circuit direct to the battery using a minimum cable cross sectional area 
of 2.5mm2 and an inline fuse of 5A. Do not connect to existing circuits that supply high power devices such 
as water pumps, air conditioning units or sources of interference such as electric igniters for gas stoves. 
Route cables carefully avoiding areas of excessive heat such exhaust systems and any moving parts in the 
engine compartment or drive shafts.
