WARNING

SHOCK HAZARD. Always disconnect battery or power source before

working on or around the electrical system.

Important Note: To comply with 2015 NFPA 1192 RV Standard, Section 6.4.9, switches must be

mounted as follows:

a) Installed in a dedicated switch cabinet with a latching door; or,

b) Installed with the optional covered bezel available from Carefree; or,

c) Installed in a cabinet with a latching door where the switch is protected and CANNOT be activated by any

items or cargo that may move or shift during transit; or,

d) Installed with an interrupt circuit that disables awning extension when the vehicle is in motion.

1. The BT12 module provides an ignition lockout option. When the “IGN LOCK” is connected to the

vehicle PCM or other switched source the following parameters are set:

i) If Open = Awning Active

ii) If tied to GND = RTL (Retract Then Lock) – Awning retracts, extend command disabled

iii) If tied to +12Vdc = Standard – Extend command disabled

To Start:

1. Determine the location for the awning switches, awning lights switch and BT12 control module.

NOTE: The BT12 control module leads are 6" in length. If the distance between the module and the

switches is greater than 6", the installer must furnish splice wires for the extra distance. Use

appropriate size wire gauges. Use appropriate sized butt splices to secure connections.

2. Route the motor cable and LED harness to the location of the module.
