• While installing the Awning, plug the solar panel into the battery pack / receiver and sit it in the sun to charge
the battery.
• The Motor has a ‘fabric tensioning’ feature which allows for lock-down bolts or straps to be applied and the
awning operated without causing damage to the Awning or structure it is secured.
The motor will pull the Awning up and automatically torque stop, then back off the fabric by 2mm so that the fabric
is not stretched, but is kept tight.
• Tilt the solar panel on an angle to help water and debris slide off and not build up on solar panel.
• When mounting the solar panel externally from the Awning, always try and position it to capture the maximum
amount of sunlight for the longest period of the day. This will usually be facing a true North position. Also keep
in mind to position the solar panel to capture sunlight during the winter season.
• There is no need for mains power, this unit operates on 24v DC
• The ‘Charging current checking button’ located on the battery pack / receiver is set to display 2 stages of
current charge.
Orange LED, indicates that the battery has between 15-29mA of current and is currently charging.
Green LED indicates that the battery has 30+mA of current and is currently charging.
This will only operate and indicate in direct sunlight.
If the LED does not light up, this indicates that the battery is currently not being charged by the sun.
• Once or twice a year, it is recommended to clean the solar panel. Over a period of time dust, dirt, pollen, bird
droppings and other debris can negatively affect solar panel efficiency.
To clean the solar panel, fill a container/bucket with some warm water and soap (no other special chemicals
required). Clean the surface of the solar panel with a cloth, only clean the solar panel surface.
REMOTE CONTROL IS NOT WORKING WITH AWNING
• Make sure channel on remote control is selected (solid green light illumined on remote control) prior to pressing
the up/down button.
• Remote control is out of range, the range (open area without any obstructions) for the remote control is about
10m-15m.
• Check to make sure there is power/charge in the battery pack/ receiver. This can be done two ways.
• Press the ‘Charging current checking button’ on the battery pack / receiver.
An orange light appears, this indicates that the battery has between 15-29mA of current and the Solar Panel is
receiving enough light to charge the battery.
A green light appears, this indicates that the battery has 30+mA of current and indicates the Solar Panel is
currently receiving sufficient light to charge the battery.
If a light does not appear and the Awning is still operating, this indicates that the Solar Panel is not currently
receiving sufficient sunlight to charge the battery
AWNING IS MOVING SLOW
• Battery could be not charged or not receiving enough sunlight to re-charge.
• Press the ‘Charging current checking button’ on the battery pack / receiver.
An orange light appears, this indicates that the battery has between 15-29mA of current and the Solar Panel is
receiving enough light to charge the battery.
A green light appears, this indicates that the battery has 30+mA of current and indicates the Solar Panel is
currently receiving sufficient light to charge the battery.
If a light does not appear and the Awning is still operating, this indicates that the Solar Panel is not currently
receiving sufficient sunlight to charge the battery
• Make sure the solar panel is positioned in the best possible location to capture sunlight, if not it may need to be
relocated.
