Mounting Remotely (Gutters, Fascia etc)
If the solar panel needs to be positioned away from the Awning
so that it can capture the optimum sunlight, there are a few
options for mounting.
The ideal mounting locations would be on the gutter or fascia of
the building, the solar panel and battery pack / receiver in total
weigh less than 1kg.
When mounting remote from the Awning, always try to position
the solar panel to capture the maximum amount of sunlight for
the longest period of the day (most cases, this will be a true
North position). Also tilt/angle the solar panel once installed to fine tune it’s positioning.
Optional power extension cables are available to allow for long distance external mounting (up to 10 metres). When
running the power cable it is a good idea to place it under the gutter/eve so that it is tucked away from water and other
external weather conditions.
3.5 Connecting Power Cable from Motor to Battery Pack/Receiver
Once the location of the solar panel has been established, the
power cable will need to be connected between the motor and
battery pack / receiver.
The box will contain a 3m extension power cable, 5m and 10m
extension power cables can be purchased separately.
If the solar panel is to be mounted on the headbox, use the
supplied cable holders. Peel and stick the cable holder on the
inside of the head box and clip the power cable into it.
Installation / Setup
Mounting on headbox, extension cable not required.
Plug power cable from battery pack/ receiver into
motor power cable.
