If using the optional visor remote, use the electrical installation furnished with the remote and receiver.
The receiver replaces all hard-wired switches. The receiver
CANNOT
be wired in combination with any switches.
NOTES:
a) The switch is momentary on, double pole, double throw, center OFF.
b) For proper operation, the switch must be cross-wired as shown below. When the switch is in the
center position, the motor leads are shorted together acting as a brake to prevent the lead rail from
"coasting" (drifting away from the case).
c) If a wire extension is required, the recommended cable from the switch to the visor should be 2
conductor, 20AWG, stranded, PVC coated, unshielded wire.
1. Determine the location of the switch.
•
Location should provide the operator a
view of the shade during operation.
•
The switch and cover plate requires a 1
3/16" x 1 9/16" area on the mounting
surface and minimum clearance depth
of 1 3/8" from the mounting surface
2. At the switch location, drill a 1" diameter hole.
3. Route the wires from the switch through the
hole. Do not mount the switch at this time.
4. Route the motor cable wires from the switch
location through the coach walls to the visor.
5. Butt-splice the motor wires to the cable
wires. Match the wire colors.
6. Run an 18-gauge wire from the power
distribution panel (auxiliary battery circuit)
or equivalent. The circuit should be
protected by a 5 amp fuse (the motor has a
maximum 2 amp stall current).
7. Run a wire to chassis ground. Suitable ground would be the vehicle chassis or conductive structure
connected to the chassis.
8. Route the two new wires to the switch and butt splice to the power wire leads on the switch. Black is
ground, red is +12VDC.
9. Restore vehicle power and test the switch operation. Note which direction raises the shade and which
direction lowers the shade.
10. Orient the switch so that pushing the switch up corresponds with raising the shade, pushing the switch
down corresponds with lowering the shade. Remove the backing paper from the switch plate then
carefully push the wires and switch through the switch hole. Press the switch plate against the surface.
