1.
Position the control box and secure using two (2) #6 x 1/2” screws.
NOTE: If the box is mounted on a surface that is less that 1/2” thick, the screws will protrude
through the opposite side of the surface.
2. Attach the switch harness connectors to the box at the positions labeled on the box. Press the
connectors in until the tabs click into place to ensure a solid connection.
3. Run a 12 gauge wire (never use less than 14 gauge) from the power distribution panel (auxiliary
battery circuit) or equivalent.
4. Run a wire to chassis ground. Suitable ground would be the vehicle chassis or conductive structure
connected to the chassis.
5.
Connect a two-wire harness to the control box in the position 12V/G
ROUND
.
6.
Splice the wires from steps 2 and 3 to the harness. Carefully note the labeling on the box so that the
12V power goes to the 12V pin and the ground goes to the pin labeled ground.
7.
Connect a two-wire harness to the control box in the position marked M
OTOR
.
8.
Run the motor wire cable from the awning to the control box. Splice the wires to the harness in step
7. The red wire should go to Pin marked “A” and the black goes to the pin marked “B”.
NOTE: During testing, it may be necessary to reverse these wires (red to B, black to A) if the
awning extend and retract functions are reversed.
