1. YELLOW (like the sun) positive and GREEN (like the
earth) negative leads runs from battery breaker buss
bar area to a harness inside the exterior refrigerator
access door. The battery buss bar is located under the
roadside front dinette seat on the 16 ft, 19 ft, and 23
ft. models, under the bed on a 22 ft., 25 ft. and 27 ft.
front bed models, and under the sofa on the 25 ft. sleep
six and 28 ft. Battery cables will run to this bar. Roof
mounted panels require dropping the panel wires down
through the refrigerator vent to the inside of the exterior
refrigerator access door. Portable solar panels can be
set outside close to the access door. The wires from the
solar panel are connected to the positive and negative
wires (yellow and green) of the pre-wire system.
2. A Cat 5 patch cord for the solar panel display
runs from the battery buss bar to an area just below
the CatCon monitor display. The solar panel display
panel can be mounted just below the CatCon monitor
panel by routing the proper size hole. The Cat 5 wire is
plugged into the display panel.
CAUTION : The Yellow wire must be fused with a
10-amp in-line fuse at the 12-volt positive.
NOTE: All wires are identified with labels at all locations.
The Intermountain solar panel has charge controller
that should be mounted close to the battery buss bars
as the battery leads are hooked into it to sense the
actual battery charge. The Cat 5 wire plugs into it also.
The following drawing is the way Airstream wires the
system on factory installed units and is the recom-
mended wiring for use of the pre-wire system.
This option is not available
on the 16 ft. model.
