I.
Connecting The LED Lights
(If Applicable)
Skip this subsection if the awning is
NOT
equipped with an LED light strip.
1.
FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK
HAZARD. Verify there are no obstacles inside
RV’s roof and/or walls (wires, pipes, etc.). Shut
OFF
gas supply, disconnect 120 Vac power from
RV, and disconnect positive (+) 12 Vdc terminal
from supply battery
BEFORE
drilling or cutting
into RV. Failure to obey these warnings could
result in death or serious injury.
With awning open, drill (1) 5/8″ diameter hole
through the outside wall of RV (near the RH top
casting and under the awning rail).
Ensure the location will allow LED wiring to
pass through the wall without interference.
2.
Do
NOT
pinch wiring or allow wir-
ing to rub against sharp edges. If wiring is dam-
aged, it
MUST
be replaced by a qualified service
technician.
Use a grommet (installer supplied) when routing
wiring through the RV wall.
If a grommet is
NOT
used, use heat-shrink
tubing where wiring will pass through the
RV wall.
3.
ALWAYS
seal wiring against
weather and moisture where wiring enters RV’s
roof and/or walls. Otherwise, water leakage
could occur.
Pull the wiring through the wiring hole (and
grommet).
If a grommet is
NOT
used, make sure
sealant will also provide effective and per-
manent protection against wire damage.
4.
Make sure the positive (+) 12
Vdc terminal is disconnected from supply bat-
tery. Otherwise, damage to unit could occur.
Connect LED switch wiring to the factory pre-
wired LED light strip.
See instructions included with your LED
switch kit (installer supplied) for additional
wiring instructions.
5. Secure the wiring to prevent pinching or other
damage during awning operation.
Allow enough slack in the wiring to safely
accommodate possible fabric movement.
