Connecting electrical power to the awning

7 Connecting electrical power to the
awning
!
WARNING!
• Only a qualified electrician should connect the awning to the
electrical power.
• Wire to a 12 Vg power source with correct polarity that is able to
provide 80 W (fig. 7 1, page 6, sw = black, rt = red).
• Make sure that the polarity is correct when connecting the awning
motor (fig. 7 2, page 6: br (brown) → bl (blue), bl → br).
Observe the following installation instructions:
• The selected voltage supply must ensure that the awning is always supplied with
power while in operation (even in the extended state). If this is not the case,
the wind sensor is switched off which presents a safety risk.
• Install the main switch and fuse (15 A) (fig. 7 3, page 6) included, in the positive
cable of the voltage supply. The main switch is required to switch off the awning
if, for example, an awning tent is being installed or if the vehicle is not being used
for a longer period of time (otherwise the standby consumption can run down the
battery).
• Install the receiver inside the vehicle to protect it from damp and wet.
• Observe the length of the cable between the awning motor and receiver when
choosing a place to install it.
• Do not shorten the antenna cable (fig. 7 ws, page 6).
• Connect the ignition (D+ signal) with the orange cable (fig. 7 or, page 6) on the
receiver. This ensures that the awning cannot be opened when driving along.
• Use a suitable tool (crimping tool) when installing the plug supplied to ensure
that the connection is secure and long-lasting.
• If you would like to fit an awning light (accessory), make sure that the maximum
power consumption is 30 W. Make sure that the polarity is correct when
connecting (fig. 7, page 6, sw = black, rt = red).
• When connecting the receiver to the voltage supply, adhere to the required
cable cross section:
