PTIONAL

Two ignition lockout sensors are available with the Direct Response System. 

  The STD ignition lockout module disables the extend function when the module receives a current 

through a switched 12VDC circuit.. 

  The RTL ignition lockout module will fully retract the awning and disable the extend function when the 

module receives a current through a switched 12VDC circuit.

 

A switched 12VDC source is a line that is "hot" when the ignition switch is in the on position; or, a 12VDC 
circuit through a relay that is "hot" when a specific condition is met (i.e. releasing the parking brake).  
Relays are not furnished with this kit. 

1.  Disconnect power to the awning.  Shut off the power source or pull the appropriate circuit breaker. 

2.  Locate the control box for the Direct Response System. 

3.  Open the cover of the control box. 

4. 

For Single Awning Applications:

 

4.1. Disconnect the remote receiver cable from the "EYE" port in the control box.  Do not disconnect the 

cable from the receiver box. 

4.2. Connect the supplied 6" cable to “EYE” port in the control box. 

4.3. Attach the splitter to the other end of the cable. 

4.4. Plug the cable from the remote receiver into the splitter. 

4.5. Attach the Lock-Out Sensor to the end of the 60" cable.  Route the cable as desired and connect 

the cable to the splitter. 

4.6. Proceed to step 6. 

5. 

For Multiple Awning Applications:

 

5.1. The module may be connected to the control box as described for single awning applications. 

OR 

5.2. The module may be directly connected to any open "EYE" port on any of the control boards.  It is 

not necessary to use the short cable or splitter. 

5.3. Proceed to step 6. 

NOTE:  

Wires to the module are not pin specific. 

6.  Attach one 18-gauge wire to a terminal of the sensor and route the wire to a suitable 12VDC ground. 

7.  Attach a second 18-gauge wire to the second terminal of the sensor and route the wire to a SWITCHED 

12VDC source. 

8.  Bundle and secure the sensor, cable and wires as required. 

9.  Reattach the control box cover. 

10. Restore power to the awning.
