IMPORTANT NOTICES
Failure to follow the wiring instructions in this publication may void the warranty.
All wiring must conform to NEC (National Electrical Code) and local codes.
D
O NOT
wire two or more motors to one motor controller.
The SO cable from the 110VAC awning motor can only pass directly through a wall, it cannot be
laid up in the wall and must be connected to NM wire or individual wires in conduit no more than
6 inches past the point of entry.
The installer must provide enclosed junction boxes for all 110VAC wire splices. Boxes are
required in conformance with prevailing construction codes. Installers are required to furnish
the UL approved electrical boxes where required.
At the control box location, AC input is required. It is recommended that the installer provide a
dedicated AC circuit for the awning system that is protected by an appropriate sized fuse/circuit
breaker. Each patio awning draws a maximum of 3 amps.
The motion sensor for the Direct Response system is mounted on the patio awning. 10 feet cable is
available from the awning wall mount, and will require a routing path to the control box. If the control
box is located at a distance greater than 10 feet, the installer must provide a terminated jumper cable
from the box location to the cable end.
Terminated cable is a 4-wire RJ11 terminated phone cord (straight, no twist).
The 110V electronic control system provides the user with simple pushbutton controls for the awnings
installed. Three configurations are available:
1) Direct Response for Single Awning Installations.
System includes: Control box (single control board), Master control panel (w/ pushbutton awning
control and windspeed sensitivity settings), motion sensor; and, an RF remote control.
An optional ignition lockout is available.
2) Direct Response for Dual Awning Installations.
System includes: Control box (2 control boards), Master control panel (w/ touchpad awning control
and windspeed sensitivity settings), motion sensors; and, an RF remote control i.
An optional ignition lockout is available.
3) Direct Response for Dual Awning Installations.
System includes: 2-Control box (2 control boards each), Master control panel (w/ touchpad awning
control and windspeed sensitivity settings), motion sensors; and, an RF remote control i.
An optional ignition lockout is available.
The switches use a 5VDC signal to operate the control box; thus eliminating the
need for a junction box for the control panel.
Electronic components are connected using terminated cables. Terminated
cable is 4-wire RJ11 terminated phone cord (straight, no twist). This does not
include 110VAC power in or awning motor power.
