Installing the Control Box

(refer to the wiring diagram on page 10)
1. Position the control box and secure using two (2) #6 x 1/2" screws.
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. Connect the cable from the Direct Response sensor to the control box.
4. Connect a two-wire harness to the control box in the position
marked M
.

5. Run the motor wire cable from the awning to the control box.
Splice the wires to the harness in step 4. The red wire should go
to Pin marked "B" and the black goes to the pin marked "A".
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.
6. Connect power to the control box;
6.1. Run a 14 awg wire from the power distribution panel (auxiliary battery circuit) or equivalent.
6.2. Run a 14 awg wire to chassis ground. Suitable ground would be the vehicle chassis or conductive
structure connected to the chassis.
NOTE: If the wire run for ground or power is 30 feet or longer, use 12awg wire to prevent voltage drop.
6.3. Connect a two-wire harness to the control box in the position marked +12V/G
6.4. Splice the power and ground wires 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.

Ignition Lockout Sensor Installation (Optional)

The optional STD ignition lockout disables the extend function when the module receives current through a
switched 12VDC circuit.
A switched 12VDC source is a line that is "hot" when the ignition switch is in the on position; or, a 12VDC circuit
through a relay that is "hot" when a specific condition is met (i.e. releasing the parking brake). Relays are
furnished by the installer.
(Refer to the wiring diagram on page 10)
1. Disconnect power to the awning. Disconnect the battery or pull the appropriate circuit breaker.
2. Locate the control box for the Direct Response System.
NOTE: The 6" cable and splitter are for systems with a remote. If there is no remote, attach the 60" cable to
the module; plug the other end directly to the "RR24" port in the control box. Then proceed with step 8.
3. If there is a remote receiver, disconnect the cable from the "RR24" port in the control box. Do not
disconnect the cable from the receiver box.
4. Connect the supplied 6" cable to "RR24" port in the control box.
5. Attach the splitter to the other end of the cable.
6. Plug the cable from the remote receiver into the splitter.
7. Attach the Lock-Out Sensor to the end of the 60" cable. Route the cable as desired and connect the
cable to the splitter.
NOTE: Wires to the module are not pin specific.
8. Attach one 18-gauge wire to a terminal of the sensor and route the wire to a suitable 12VDC ground.
9. Attach a second 18-gauge wire to the second terminal of the sensor and route the wire to a SWITCHED
12VDC source.
10. Bundle and secure the sensor, cable and wires as required.
