12 | System Planning
SYSTEM PLANNING
Make a list of devices and plan your connections.
Prior to beginning Installation, make a list of all components you plan to include in your RedVision®
system. Being logical in this stage will make configuration much easier.
Try to connect each Output and its controlling Input on like-numbered channels. For example, a
canopy light connected to C3 would be controlled by a corresponding switch connected to E3.
Name channels in a logical way, so that it's easy to find and edit the channels later:
Name outputs based on their function in a concise way e.g. Living Room Light, Fridge, Water
Pump.
Name input switches based on their position in the vehicle e.g. Entry Switch 1, Bed Switch Left,
Outside Switch. This makes configuring the function of the entry switch much easier than if it
was generically called ‘Switch 5’.
Make sure all system components are compatible.
Read the installation information and refer to the technical specifications (page43) before you
begin your install to confirm that all components are compatible with your planned system; e.g.
components must be 12 V nominal, and continuous current must not exceed 10 A per output and
40 A for the system.
Plan the physical arrangement of the system.
Plan where each component will be mounted so that components that require regular access are in
a convenient location.
Consider future expansion.
At some point, you may want to add components to your RedVision®system, or upgrade existing
ones. Before installing, think about ways you can future-proof your installation to save time and
money later.

18 | Installation — Wiring
TERMINATING CABLES
AS A GENERAL GUIDE:
Always use the correct crimping tools for crimping automotive crimp connectors. Do not use
pliers as this may crush/deform the sleeve and wires resulting in a failure-prone connection.
Avoid using solder sleeves — they are prone to failure if the solder does not run properly.
Insulate the ends of individual unused wires to prevent them from shorting. DO NOT heatshrink/
tape multiple unused wires together as a single bundle. Heatshrink/electrical tape must fully-
encapsulate bare wires and be securely shrunk/adhered onto the wires.
OTHER CONNECTOR TYPES
For wiring of the Input and Output Looms, a range of connector types are acceptable provided that
a solid connection is made. REDARC recommends the following connection types:
Butt-splice crimps (pre-insulated or standard), or solder with heatshrink are readily available
options that form a good, permanent connection. Note however, that wires have to be cut and
then re-terminated if your wiring needs to be adjusted or upgraded.
Insulated bullet or spade crimp connectors are the recommended non-permanent
connectors. They provide a solid electrical connection while still giving you the flexibility to adjust
or upgrade your wiring without the need to cut the wires and re-terminate them.
ORDER OF CONNECTIONS
Ensure all Input and Output connections are correctly wired before connecting the Power Input
Connector wiring to the 12 V auxiliary battery.

OUTPUT WIRING (C/D)
Connecting the TVMSRogue outputs to 12V loads�
The TVMSRogue outputs can be used for switching a wide variety of devices/loads, then allowing
you to monitor and configure them via the RedVision®Display or App. Typical loads include:
Fridge
Lighting
Water Pumps
Fans
Television
Stereo
Accessories — e.g. charging sockets
Relays — to support switching/control of loads greater than the 10 A limitation of the
TVMSRogue (REDARC RK1260 recommended)
REDARC Inverters — switching only; not to be used for powering an inverter.
SELECTING LIGHTS:
LED Light — if you intend to use the dimming capability, check before installing that your
chosen LED lighting is dimmer-compatible. Using non-dimmable LEDs can result in flickering
and damage to the LED light.
Filament/Incandescent Lights — these are compatible with the TVMS Rogue and are
dimmable, however they are not recommended due to their high power consumption. Opt for
power efficient lights such as LEDs wherever possible.
Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFL) — most CFL lights are not dimmable, and dimmable
versions are not readily available. These are not recommended for dimming applications.

20 | Installation — Wiring
WIRING TYPICAL LOADS
For connector pinout information, see 'Output Cable Connectors (C/D) Pinouts'(page48).
Loads/devices will typically be connected in one of the following ways:
Hard-wired directly to the Output Loom – this is ideal for permanently installed devices such
as lights in a caravan/travel trailer.
Plugged into an accessory socket that is mounted to the vehicle – this is ideal for
portable devices as they can then be quickly unplugged for moving.
1. Connect the wires from the device (the load) to a numbered pair of Orange and Black wires on
the Output Wiring Loom (at C or D).
2. Insulate the ends of individual unused wires to prevent them from shorting. DO NOT heatshrink/
tape multiple unused wires together as a single bundle.
3. Configure via the REDARC Configurator App.
