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.
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 flush mounted, UL approved electrical duplex boxes where required.
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 (factory installed).
An RF remote control is provided with the
Direct Response
system.
An optional ignition lockout is available.
The switches use a 5VDC signal to operate the control box; 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 connections.
NOTE: Cable lengths of the furnished cables are listed in the chart with the
system wiring diagram. If a connection requires a length greater
than the supplied cable, the installer must provide a terminated
jumper cable from the box location to the cable end. Terminated
cables are 4-wire RJ11 terminated phone cord (straight, no twist).
