1. Install the power relay module in a clean, dry interior area protected

from moisture. Use the four (4) 1/4˝ diameter holes for mounting the
module relay (K). Position the base on the mounting surface and
secure it using appropriate hardware for the wall material. Orient
antennae straight away from base. Permanently secure antenna to
mounting surface with appropriate hardware. Mount the base RF
receiver unit (K) in the selected target location. Take care to ensure
that the antenna on the board is not located next to other electrical
wiring which could interfere with operation. Take care to ensure that
the target location has good RF reception (avoid “faraday cage”
scenarios, i.e. metal box).

m

caution

Product damage

Failure to orient antennae properly will result in intermittent

operation of the wireless remote system.

note

: Correct polarity must be observed as noted on the circuit board

next to 5 & 4-H. The unit will not function if the input power is installed

in reverse polarity. See

power

to

unit

: The unit operates from a +12 VDC battery and must

be supplied through a 40 AMP circuit breaker (

fig

4E & 5-E). Route the

#8 AWG, +12 VDC from the circuit breaker and the ground wiring, to the
terminal block (

fig

4H & 5-H).Terminate the wires in the labeled positions.

3. Route the two #10 AWG wires from each jack to the terminal block 4-I

& 5-I. Refer to the labels next to each terminal position for driver front,
passenger front, driver rear, and passenger rear jacks. Connect the
wires for each jack.

4. Install the Activation Switch near the floor just inside the door of the

pickup camper or in an outside compartment of the fifth wheel. Plug the
flat cable (

fig

J) into the left side of the power relay module (

fig

4 & 5-S)

and route to the location of the activation switch (

fig

4 & 5-Q). Plug other

end of the cable into the back side of the activation switch. Connect the
optional accessory harnesses (controlling up to two additional motor
outputs) to their associated connector on the base receiver. Any use of
the accessory ports needs to be approved in advance by the manufacture
of the accessory. Connect the power harness to the base receiver. Take
