6.3 Connecting the Power
I
If you are replacing an existing fan, use the existing
wiring only if it meets the Recreation Vehicle
Industry Association’s 16 AWG wiring and location
requirements.
This section describes how to connect the fan to a
12VDC power source.
1. Locate the nearest 12 VDC power source wiring.
2. To avoid blowing the fuse, test the power source
wiring for polarity.
a. Turn on the 12 VDC power or battery.
b. Using a multimeter, touch the red lead to the
positive source. At the same time, touch the black
lead to the neutral or negative wire.
– A correct polarity will display +12 or more volts.
– If incorrect, the multimeter will display -12 volts or
more.
c. Turn off the 12 VDC power or battery.
