Molded Trailer Plug & Vehicle Connector Below is the Wiring Diagram for the 7-Pole Molded Standard Trailer RV Cord used on the SQ3TS trailers. The cords have encapsulated terminals and wires to form a single weather-tight, noncorrosive assembly. This feature keeps the moisture out and allows for a more secure connection.
It is important to note that in colder climates solar collection alone may not be sufficient to maintain optimum battery voltage. If battery voltage drops, the Horizon Signal system can be charged using an external power source, such as a generator. The battery charger can be connected to an 110v power source by using the power adapter located underneat the front of the trailer.
