It is recommended that these wiresbe RED+ and Black 12 gauge wires. Thisneeds to be on a separate 15 amp FIG. To ensure proper operation, the controlbox must have a minimum of VDC atthe control box during operation. Checkvoltage output on the Red and Black wireat the control box. If voltage is below ,check voltage at supply, If OK it may benecessary to increase the wire size goingto the control box. See FIG. Wire From Control Box to Awning.

5 Wire Inside Hardware Channel (WeatherPro Only)To make the connection between the wire run and the awning motor there is a cable run inthe hardware from the bottom to the top. Checkthis wire for pinches or breaks. If wire is defec-tive replace with new Motor Connection & awning motor is connected to thehardware at the top of the awning hard-ware front channel.

Ignition Interlock WireThe ignition Interlock wire when correctly installedwill prevent the awning from opening when theignition key is in the on position.

Make sure wireconnections are tight and corrosion To Remote SwitchThe remote switch is connected to the controlbox with three (3) 16 gauge wires. These areBrown, Yellow, Green for WeatherPro and Brown/White, Yellow/White, Green/White for Oasis switch end of the wire will be connected tothe switch by means of 1/4" insulated tab con-nectors. The control box end has a pig tail toconnect the control box to these three wires. Seeswitch for correct wiring. Make sure connectionsare tight and corrosion Wind Sensor CableThe wind sensor is connected to the control boxwith a FLAT four (4) conductor cable terminatedon both ends with an RJ-11 telephone connec-tor.

7 Maximum length is 18'. This cable is polaritysensitive and must be assembled as shown. Astandard telephone cable will not work. Cablecan be checked with a Dometic tester.

8 The correct positionof the winds sensor is critical. It shoud be within3 feet of the right side top mounting bracket andaway from other objects. To check out the windsensor, extend the awning and place the windsensor switch in the ENABLE (ON) position. Youcan create sufficient amount of wind by placing astandard hair dryer approximately 6 inches awayfrom the wind sensor with the dryer set on HIGHand NO HEAT.

Place the negative lead of thevolt meter on T3 and check each leg ofthe fuse with the positive lead. This shouldread VDC on each leg. Replace Check for voltage at the WeatherPro out-put pigtail (Red & Black wire). First, pressand hold the rocker switch in the extendposition. Place the negative lead of thedigital volt meter on the Black wire posi-tion of the pigtail and the positive lead ofthe volt meter on the Red wire position ofthe pigtail. The meter should read ( )negative VDC (minimum).

10 Do notmove the volt meter leads and press andhold the rocker switch in the retract posi-tion. The meter should read (+) VDC (minimum).FIG.

You should hear the relay connect the Green to Brown and youshould hear another Check the Oasis Elite remote switch wireand the output wire at the same time. Theremote switch wires are Brown/White,Green/White and Yellow/White. The out-put wire is Red/White and Blue. Connectthe positive lead of the digital volt meterto the Red/White wire position of the pig-tail and the negative to the Blue wire po-sition of the pigtail.
