Installation - Electrical/Electronic Components
Locate the Power Isolation Switch, this will now need to be installed. If available, the ideal location for
the isolator switch is inside the battery compartment; usually there is a space to the side of the battery.
The chosen location needs to be one that will mean the Isolation switch is easily accessible in the
event that the system needs to be switched off in an emergency. Nuts and bolts are provided to mount
the switch but please substitute as necessary if they are not of a suitable type for the fitting location or
material.
Install the Isolation Switch between the battery and the Control Unit (Fig.17) along the positive [+]
battery cable, using two of the provided 6mm Terminal Ring Connectors to link the cable to the switch
terminals. These connectors will require crimping to the end of the wires. Ensure to leave sufficient
wire length to reach from the battery to isolation switch and from isolation switch to electronics box.
On the positive [+] battery cable between the isolation switch and electronic control box, the fuse will
also need installing. To do this, mount the 120A fuse (8) into the In-line Fuse case (7). Cut the positive
[+] battery cable where necessary and again crimp 6mm Terminal Ring Connectors to either end to
allow mounting to the fuse. The fuse case (7) can be screwed to a wall or floor in the same way as the
electronics control unit.
With the supplied battery wires, proceed to wire the battery to the electronics box, via the previously
installed isolation switch and fuse, as outlined in the wiring diagram (Fig.17). 6mm Terminal Ring
Connectors are already attached to the battery wires for connection to the electronics box, whilst two
sizes of ring connectors are supplied for connection to the battery itself.
Caution! Do not attempt to amend wiring that is connected to the battery and live.
Always ensure that wires are disconnected from power when being worked on.
Caution! Ensure not to reverse the positive and negative battery connections.
Incorrect connection (reverse polarity) will result in damage to the control box.
The positive and negative motor wires now need connecting to the system, these all feature a pre-
installed spade connector at one end of each length. Again using Fig.5 for reference, proceed to route
the motor wires through the hole previously drilled in the vehicle floor and along the underside of
vehicle toward the designated motors. Supplied are various components which will aid with the safe
fixing of these wires, including: Convoluted Cable trunking - to protect the wires from sharp edges, P-
clips/screws - for mounting the wires to surfaces, and Cable Ties - to fix wires together or to sections
of the chassis where necessary. Cable Number and Polarity markers are also supplied to aid with
labelling of wires for ease of installation. When routing the wires, aim to keep these as central along
the caravan as possible in attempts to keep the wiring the same length.
As with the battery wires, when satisfied with the routing, proceed to crimp the provided 4mm terminal
ring connectors onto the ends of the wires for connection to the electronics box. The spade connectors
for attaching to the motors are already fixed to the end of the motor wires.
For Auto-Engage Mover Models the final step will be the attach the engagement wires. These are
already wired into your movers, and can be mounted under your caravan alongside the motor wires,
again using the supplied mounting components where necessary. Study the various wiring diagrams,
the spade connectors attach to locations M1+/- and M4+/- respective of which motor they are from.
The positive wire is indicated by a singular white line running down it's length.
NOTE: Depending on regulatory requirements in your area, it may be necessary to install heavier
gauge wiring across the system. Please consult your dealer for further details if necessary.
Once all wires are correctly attached as per Fig.17, the electrical installation is complete.
