LED Light Switch Installation
1.
Determine where to mount the LED light switch. The
LED light switch can be mounted anywhere inside the
trailer or trailer compartment. The mounting location must
be watertight. The typical location for the LED light switch
is near the entry door, close to where the wires from the
LED light strip enter inside the unit wall.
2.
Cut a hole in the wall or wall of the compartment using
the inside opening of the switch plate as a guide
(Fig.6D)
.
Use the switch plate to trace where the cutout should be
located. The top and bottom horizontal cuts should be
parallel.
3.
Place the light switch
(Fig.6C)
into the switch plate
(Fig.6A)
.
NOTE:
Make sure the switch is oriented correctly with the on
position (vertical line) located at the top of the switch.
4.
Located on the backside of the light switch, insert the
LED light strip wires onto the proper spade. Red wire is
positive, black wire is negative.
5.
Connect the LED red power wire to the unit’s power
source. Make sure the black wire is connected to a ground
and the red wire is connected to 12V DC power source
6.
Connect the 3A fuse to protect all wiring going to the
light, that meets or exceeds RVIA standards. See the
Wiring Diagram section.
7.
Test the light switch to make sure the LED light strip is
wired properly.
8.
Secure the switch plate onto the unit wall with the two
provided #8 x 1” pan head screws
(Fig.6B)
.

NOTE:
Make sure the screw does not completely go through
the polycord and into the awning fabric. Make sure that the
LED light strip is hanging straight, parallel to the ground.
4.
Depending on top wire or bottom wire installation,
remove the wire covers in the drive side mount arm.
5.
If bottom installation, take the LED light strip power wire
(Fig.5A)
from the light track and run it down the drive arm.
Make sure to run the wires over the center pin of the drive
mount arm. If top installation, run the wires through the top
hole in the drive side mount arm
(Fig.5B)
inside the unit wall
and down to the switch.
NOTE:
If completing an entirely new installation, proceed
to the LED Light Switch Installation
6.
Splice the new LED light strip power wires onto the old
wires just inside the unit’s wall.
NOTE:
Make sure the red wire is to power and the black
wire is to ground.
7.
Test the light switch to make sure the LED light strip is
wired properly.
8.
Reinstall wire covers in the drive mount arm.
