Awning Wiring
The Solera 5000 Series Awning motors come stock with an internal 6A auto reset breaker. If this breaker
trips, it will take approximately 30 seconds to reset. Lippert recommends the awning be wired into a 15A
circuit breaker. All wire shall be 14 AWG or higher as necessary to provide 11.5V minimum at all times to the
Lippert supplied power cable connection.
1.
Pull the wires from the unit through the support arm assembly. These wires may be located at the
bottom or the top of the support arm assembly.
2.
Connect wiring from the unit to the switch and the awning drive head per the wiring diagram (Fig. 9).
Note:
Check the switch. If the awning is running in reverse of what the switch indicates, reverse the wires.
Note:
To prevent pinching of the wires, make sure all wires are routed on the outside of the pin that
secures the pitch arm to the mount arm (Fig. 10).
Securing the Fabric
1.
Extend and retract the awning several times to make sure the fabric is square on the roll tube.
2.
Secure the fabric in the awning rail no more than 1” inside the edge of the fabric on both ends using
a #6 x 1/2” hex head screw. Install the screw down through the awning rail into the fabric and the
polycord (Fig. 8).
