C. Determine Awning Location
1.
IMPACT OR CRUSH HAZARD.
Make sure mounting surface on RV is flat, has
solid structural backing where fasteners pene
-
trate surface, and will safely and securely sup
-
port product. Otherwise, product may become
unstable and could [detach / bend / collapse].
Failure to obey this warning could result in death
or serious injury.
Find a solid structure in RV wall (centered over
door) for support of awning rail and back rail (all
mounting points).
PREPARE FOR INSTALLATION
2.
Allow for sufficient clearance be
-
tween awning fabric and entry door to accom
-
modate awning pitch (slope).
Avoid location that interferes with entry door
swing when awning is completely extended. See
subsection, “A. Door Clearance” on page (4).
3.
Maintain a minimum of 1/2” clearance at top and
sides of awning case.
Additional clearance is recommended to
allow easier access for servicing.
INSTALL ELECTRICAL KITS
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
Disconnect 120 Vac power from RV. Failure to obey
this warning could result in death or serious injury.
Failure to obey the following notices
could damage product or property.
● Disconnect the positive (+) 12 Vdc terminal from
supply battery. Otherwise, damage to unit could
occur.
●
Do
NOT
pinch wiring or allow wiring to rub
against sharp edges. If wiring is damaged, it
MUST
be replaced by a qualified service techni
-
cian.
Disconnect power for
ALL
procedures under this
section.
To complete electrical installation, an electronic
control kit is required. See subsection, “B. Addi
-
tional Components & Kits” on page (5) to order.
The electronic control is pre-wired for Weath
-
erPro awning installation. If a WeatherPro
awning is
NOT
installed, only the Oasis Elite
door awning connections will be used.
The electronic control and key fob are pro
-
grammed as a matched set. They
MUST
re-
main together.
A. Mount Electronic Control Box
1.
Find a suitable location for electronic control box
that’s protected from weather and other adverse
conditions.
Avoid mounting control box close to steel
framing. Recommended mounting loca
-
tions include protected compartments
outside living quarters (such as basement
storage).
2. Place and tighten #6-20 X 1” screws (provided)
through control kit base (mounting holes) and
into mounting surface of RV.
B. Install Wiring To Awning Motor
An electronic control kit (NOT INCLUDED)
MUST
be used to perform this step. See sub
-
section, “B. Additional Components & Kits”
on page (5).
Depending on the application, the electronic
control kit may include a wiring harness, or
may only include plugs and pins (requiring
installer supplied wiring). To avoid voltage
drop, use the correct wire gauge shown in
“Table 1” on page (4).
Wire colors noted within this step are indus
-
try standard. Some RV manufacturers use
different colors. Refer to RV manufacturer’s
wiring schematics.
1.
Using the correct wire gauge, route (1)
BLACK/
WHITE
wire and (1)
RED/WHITE
wire (inside
RV) from electronic control box to general loca
-
tion where connections to awning motor will be
made.
Allow enough wiring length to pass through
outside RV wall (hole will be drilled later)
for connection to awning.
Wiring hole location will be at LH cover,
with awning centered over door. See
(FIG. 2) & (FIG. 3).
2. Make wiring connections in compliance with
all applicable codes. See section, “APPENDIX
A: ELECTRONIC CONTROL KIT WIRING” on
page (15).
Use plug connectors supplied with wiring
harness / electronic control kit.
Make sure connections will mate
BLACK/
WHITE
wire to
BLACK
(or
BLUE
) awning
motor wire, and
RED/WHITE
wire to
RED
(or
BROWN
) awning motor wire.
