working on or around the electrical system.
IMPORTANT NOTICES
Failure to follow the wiring instructions in this publication may void the motor warranty.
All wiring must conform to NEC (National Electrical Code) and local codes.
D
O NOT
wire two or more motors to one switch—No parallel wiring.
The SO cable from the 110VAC awning motor can only pass directly through a wall, it can not 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.
For 110VAC installations, enclosed junction boxes are required for all wire splices and direct
connection switch installations. Boxes are required in conformance with prevailing
construction codes. The servicing technician or installer is required to furnish the flush
mounted, UL approved electrical duplex boxes where required.
The 110V electronic control system provides the user with simple pushbutton controls for the awnings
installed. Four configurations are available:
1) Direct Connect (reference as system #1). 110VAC is routed directly through the switches to the awning
motor.
System includes: 1 power switch and 1 patio (extend/retract) switch.
This system is no longer offered.
2) Optional Relay Box (reference as system #2). 110VAC power is controlled by a relay control box. The
switches use a 12VDC signal to control the relays. Switch installation is simplified; the switches do not
require a duplex box.
System includes: 1 power switch, 1 patio (extend/retract) switch and 1 relay control box.
This system is no longer offered.
3) Standard Electronics w/ Optional Auto-Retract (reference as system #3). The optional auto-retract
system detects adverse wind conditions and retracts the awning. Sensitivity is set by the user.
Standard system includes: 1 power switch, 1 patio (extend/retract) switch, 1 control box
An optional anemometer is available for the auto-retract system; and
An optional remote control is available.
4)
Direct Response (reference as system #4). The 110V electronic control system provides the user with
simple pushbutton controls for the awning. The
Direct Response
electronic system is a premier auto-
retract system that detects motion from adverse wind conditions and retracts the awning. Sensitivity
is set by the user
System includes: Control box, Master control panel (w/ pushbutton awning control and windspeed
sensitivity setting), motion sensor.
An optional RF remote control is available with the
Direct Response
system.
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.
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.
