SECTION 1 WIRING
1.1 12VDC Supply Wire
1.1.1 The 12VDC supply wire must be run from
the 12VDC supply source to the Control
Box. It is recommended that these wires
beRED+and Black–12gauge wires.This
needs to be on a separate 15 amp circuit.
See FIG. 1.1.
1.1.2 To ensure proper operation, the control
box must have a minimum of 12.5 VDC at
the control box during operation. Check
voltage output on the Red and Black wire
atthecontrolbox. If voltageisbelow 12.5,
check voltage at supply, If OK it may be
necessary to increase the wire size going
to the control box. See FIG. 1.1.
1.2 Wire From Control Box to Awning. Arm As-
sembly (WeatherPro) andAwning Motor (Oa-
sis Elite)
A Red and Black Wire (WeatherPro) Red/White
andBluewire (OasisElite)of adequatesizemust
be run between the control box and the awning.
To avoid voltage drop follow the chart below to
determining the proper size wire to be used.

1.3 Wire Inside Hardware Channel (WeatherPro Only)
To make the connection between the wire run in
1.2 and the awning motor there is a cable run in
the hardware from the bottom to the top. Check
this wire for pinches or breaks. If wire is defec-
tive replace with new harness.
1.4 Motor Connection & Motor
1.4.1 The awning motor is connected to the
hardware at the top of the awning hard-
ware front channel. Make sure connec-
tion is tight and corrosion free.
1.4.2 Disconnect the motor from the hardware
connection. See FIG. 1.4. Apply DC volt-
age directly to the motor wire connector.
A minimum of 12.5 VDC is required to op-
erate the motor. If motor does not turn it is
defectiveandthedriveassemblymustbe
replaced.

1.7 Ignition Interlock Wire
TheignitionInterlock wirewhencorrectly installed
will prevent the awning from opening when the
ignitionkeyisinthe onposition.This wireisrouted
between the ignition isolator (Pink) wire of the
control box to the ignition isolator of the vehicle.
It should be a 16 gauge wire. Make sure wire
connections are tight and corrosion free.
1.5 Wire To Remote Switch
The remote switch is connected to the control
box with three (3) 16 gauge wires. These are
Brown,Yellow,GreenforWeatherProandBrown/
White,Yellow/White,Green/WhiteforOasisElite.
The switch end of the wire will be connected to
the switch by means of 1/4" insulated tab con-
nectors. The control box end has a pig tail to
connectthecontrolbox tothesethreewires. See
switch for correct wiring. Make sure connections
are tight and corrosion free.
1.6 Wind Sensor Cable
The wind sensor is connected to the control box
with a FLAT four (4) conductor cable terminated
on both ends with an RJ-11 telephone connec-
tor. Maximum length is 18'. This cable is polarity
sensitive and must be assembled as shown. A
standard telephone cable will not work. Cable
can be checked with a Dometic 3107127.007
cable tester. If cable is found to be defective re-
place with a cable no longer than 18'
