Control Box Installation

NOTE:
a) For Multiple Awing Installations: The awning motor connected to the controller board marked
"motor #1" will correspond with "Awning 1" on the key pad control and remote. The awning
motor connected to "motor #2" will correspond with "Awning 2" on the controls etc.
b) The control boxes are not suitable for exterior installations and must be mounted in the
of the vehicle.

For Single Awning installations: refer to wiring diagram on page 8.
For 2- Awning installations: refer to wiring diagram on page 10.
For 4-Awning installations: refer to wiring diagram on page 12.
1. Locate the mounting location of the control box(es).
Each box requires a flat area approximately 6 1/2" x
6 1/2" with a clearance depth of 2 3/8".
For 4 awning installations: A 60" jumper cable is used
between the two control boxes.
approximately 55" of cable between the boxes.
Position the boxes to allow the jumper to be connected
and routed with some slack in the cable.
2. Remove the lid. Attach the box to the mounting surface
using a minimum of two (2) #8 x 3/4 screws each. The
screws must be mounted in opposite corners.
3. Route a 2-conductor 14AWG NM wire with ground from the AC power source to the box.
recommended that the installer provide a dedicated AC circuit that is protected by an appropriate sized
fuse/circuit breaker.
NOTE: Each board must have a 110VAC supply. The diagram shows a separate power source for
each box; each power source is spliced with wire nuts to power both boards in a box.
4. Connect the wires to the control box circuit boards as shown in the wiring diagram (Detail A).
5. Route the motor wires from awning #1 to controller #1 (motor#1); attach the wires to the terminals as shown.
NOTE: For LH motor configurations:
RED WIRE
For RH motor configurations:

6. Attach the RJ11 cable from the sensor of awning #1 to the "AMD" receptacle of controller #1.
7. Repeat step 5 and 6 for the other awnings.
8. After testing connections, use Loctite 29005 or equivalent to secure screws in terminal block.
9. Attach the remaining RJ11 cables as shown in the wiring diagram. Use the slot cutouts in the box to
route the phone cables.
NOTE: The key pad and RF receiver only attach to controller #1.

GNITION OCKOUT
Two optional Ignition Lockout Sensors are available with the Direct Response system. As a travel safety
feature, the sensor disables the extend function when the ignition key is turned on. The RTL lockout will
retract the awning and disable the extend function.
1. Connect the cable to any open "EYE" port in the control boxes.
2. Route the cable as desired and connect the cable to the sensor.
3. Attach a wire (16-20 AWG) to the ground terminal of the sensor and route the wire to a suitable ground.
nd
4. Attach a 2 wire (16-20 AWG) to the 12VDC of the sensor and route the wire to a
source. A switched 12VDC source is a line that is hot only when the ignition is in the on position. Wires
to the sensor are not pin specific.
5. Bundle and secure the sensor, cable and wires as required in an environmentally protected area..
