INSTALLATION WARNING ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE VEHICLE BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL SOURCES BEFORE WORKING WITH ELECTRICAL WIRING AND COMPONENTS. 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. DO 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. 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 wind speed sensitivity setting), motion sensor. The switches use a 5VDC signal to operate the control box; thus eliminating the need for a junction box for the control panel. An optional RF remote control is available with the Direct Response system. An optional ignition lockout is available. Refer to the Operation section of this manual for description of controls and settings. 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 the awning motor. NOTE: Furnished cable lengths are listed on page 12. 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. SENSOR INSTALLATION 1. Prior to starting, determine the mounting location and method for mounting the sensor.: 1.1 Open the awning slightly. On the lead rail, mark the locations of all obstructions that might interfere with the sensor when the awning is closed. This would include arm knuckles, a manual override, etc. The mounting location must be located in an area that has no obstructions when the awning is closed. CAUTION THE SENSOR MUST BE MOUNTED IN A LOCATION WITH NO OBSTRUCTIONS WHEN THE AWNING IS CLOSED. THE SENSOR CAN BE DAMAGED AND THE AWNING WILL NOT CLOSE PROPERLY IF AN OBSTRUCTION IS PRESENT! The sensor mounting area must be outside of the lateral arms. 1.2 Throughly clean the inside surface of the lead rail and the top of the arms. The surfaces should be clean and free of dirt and debris. 2. Cut the wire channel slightly shorter than the arm extrusion. Cut a piece for both arm sections. 3. Attach the channel to the top of the arms using double-sided tape. Evenly distribute the short pieces of tape along the lengths of the wire channel. Tip: For ease of installation, make sure that the split in the channel is on the same side for both channel pieces when installed. 3 052525-001r4

4. Two methods of attaching the sensor to the lead rail are used. Determine the correct method for the application. For Carefree Mirage and Sundial: A vertical mounting bracket is used attach the sensor to the lead rail. (Refer to "Mounting the Sensor w/ Bracket") For other applications: The sensor is mounted using a high bond double sided tape.

TESTING THE SYSTEM When 110VAC power is removed from the system, the controller does not retain previous positioning information. When power is restored, positioning information is updated when the first function is initiated. The function LEDs (extend, retract and stop) perform a dual function. When the button is pressed, the LED illuminates. The LED stays illuminated during the selected operation and after the awning has fully extended or retracted. This provides an indicator of the awning position. When the stop button is pressed, the LED will illuminate and stay on until a function is pressed. If on, it indicates that the awning is partially extended/retracted. All function buttons are press ON/press OFF. The auto-functions will continue until the awning is fully extended/retracted or when the stop button is pressed. 1. While observing the control panel, have a second person initiate 110VAC power to the coach and awning system. The following should occur: 1.1 The Auto-Retract and Wind Speed LEDs should illuminate briefly then extinguish. 1.2 The Power ON/OFF and function/position LEDs will briefly illuminate. 1.3 The system then goes to the default settings: The POWER ON, AUTO-RETRact ON and MEDIUM Wind Speed LED will be on. NOTE: The function/position LEDs (extend, stop and retract) will not be illuminated. During power up the controller does not retain position information. The controller is updated with the first function used. 2. Press the POWER OFF. ALL LEDs should be extinguished. The POWER ON/OFF button disables all functions including Auto-Retract and the optional RF remote. It does not disconnect the 110VAC power. 3. Press the POWER ON. Press the EXTEND button, the LED should illuminate while the awning extends and stay on after the awning auto-stops. Observe the awning, it should fully extend. The system performs an auto-tension action when the awning is fully extended. The awning rolls in reverse to tension the fabric. The auto-tension feature works only with the extend function when the awning is fully extended or the stop button is pushed while extending. 4. After the awning is fully extended, press the RETRACT button, the EXTEND LED should extinguish and the Retract LED should illuminate while the awning is retracting. Press the STOP button. 5. When the STOP button is pressed, the awning will stop, the RETRACT LED should extinguish and the STOP LED should illuminate. 6. Press the RETRACT button, allow the awning to retract fully, the Retract LED will illuminate and stay lit. 7. Press the AUTO-RETRACT OFF. The AUTO-RETRACT and WIND SPEED LEDs should go out. 8. Press the AUTO-RETRACT ON. Press each Wind Speed button and confirm that the corresponding LEDs illuminate. 9. Test the Auto-Retract function: 9.1 Fully extend the awning. 9.2 With the AUTO-RETRACT ON, set the WIND SPEED to the lowest setting. 9.3 Create a firm but gentle rocking motion with the leading edge of the awning. The awning should retract after 2-3 seconds of the motion. 10. If the optional Ignition Sensor is installed: 10.1 Partially retract the awning. 10.2 Turn the ignition key ON. 10.3 Press the EXTEND button. The LED should flash for 2 seconds then shut off and the previous function LED will come back on. 9 052525-001r4

OPERATION The Direct Response system provides the user with a wide range of awning controls with simple pushbutton operation. The standard operation is straight-forward with the buttons clearly labeled. Each is described below. These buttons operate the same with or without the auto-retract system turned on. Power ON/OFF...Press ON, Press OFF. The power switch must be on before any awning functions can be used. When the power is ON, the LED will illuminate. CAUTION EXCEPT WHEN THE AUTO-RETRACT SYSTEM IS ACTIVE, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE POWER SWITCH BE SET TO OFF WHENEVER THE AWNING IS NOT BEING OPERATED AND DURING TRANSPORT. THIS ACTS AS A SAFETY TO PREVENT THE AWNING FROM BEING ACCIDENTLY OPENED UNEXPECTEDLY. Figure 7. Direct Response Extend...Press and release. The awning will extend out to the full Pushbutton Controls. extension and stop automatically. When the button is pushed, the LED will illuminate and stay on until another function is activated. NOTE: If the optional ignition lockout is installed, the system will disable the extend function while the vehicle ignition key is in the ON position. Pressing the extend button will cause the extend LED to flash for 2 seconds then shut off then the previous LED will come back on. During normal operation, the awning will extend out completely then roll back slightly to provide tension to the fabric. Stop...Press and release. During extend and retract functions, the operator may stop the awning by pressing this button. When the button is pushed, the LED will illuminate and stay on until another function is activated. Retract...Press and release. The awning will retract and stop automatically when the awning is fully retracted. When the button is pushed, the LED will illuminate and stay on until another function is activated. All function buttons are press ON - press OFF. The auto-functions continue until the awning is fully extended/retracted or when the stop button is pressed. It is not necessary to hold the function button while the function is active. The function LEDs (extend, retract and stop) perform a dual function. When the button is pressed, the LED illuminates. The LED stays illuminated during the selected operation and after the awning has fully extended or retracted. This provides an indicator of the awning position. When the stop button is pressed, the LED will illuminate and stay on until a function is pressed. If on, it indicates that the awning is partially extended/retracted. NOTE: When 110VAC power is removed from the system, the controller does not retain previous positioning information. When power is restored, positioning information is updated when the first function is initiated. CAUTION AT STARTUP (110VAC APPLIED) DO NOT PRESS THE RETRACT BUTTON TO UPDATE THE POSITIONING INFORMATION. THIS CAN CAUSE THE MOTOR TO RUN IN AN OVER CURRENT MODE. IF THIS OCCURS, THE MOTOR S THERMAL PROTECTION DEVICE MAY SHUT OFF THE MOTOR AND THE OPERATOR MUST WAIT APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES, FOR THE MOTOR TO COOL OFF, BEFORE OPERATING THE AWNING. TO PROPERLY SET THE POSITIONING, PUSH THE EXTEND BUTTON, ALLOW TO RUN FOR 1 SECOND THEN PRESS THE STOP OR RETRACT BUTTON. Power On/Off Stop Auto-Retract On/Off MIRAGE021 10 052525-001r4

THE AUTO-RETRACT SYSTEM The Direct Response system detects awning motion caused by windy conditions. The user is able to set the sensitivity and may have to experiment to find the best setting for the user s preferences. The system operates by gauging the motion of the awning s leading edge. When persistent motion exceeds the factory preset threshold value for 2 seconds or longer, the system will automatically retracts the awning. The pushbutton controls allow the user to choose between 5 factory preset sensitivity values (threshold values). Gust detection is incorporated into the software. When the motion value is suddenly and sharply increased above a safe maximum value, then the 2 second persistence measure is overridden and the awning closes immediately. To operate the auto-retract system: Turn the power ON; turn the Auto- Retract ON; set the sensitivity to the desired level. NOTE: If the Auto-Retract LEDs flash when pressed on, this indicates that the motion sensor has be disengaged or otherwise disabled. Contact a Carefree service center for service. CAUTION THE CAREFREE DIRECT RESPONSE SYSTEM IS A PREMIERE ELECTRONIC AUTO-RETRACT SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES PROTECTION AGAINST ADVERSE ELEMENTS; BUT NO AUTO-RETRACT SYSTEM IS A GUARANTEE AGAINST SEVERE OR DESTRUCTIVE WEATHER; THE EFFECTS OF WIND AND RAIN ON AN AWNING ARE UNPREDICTABLE AND MAY CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE AWNING AND/OR VEHICLE. IF WIND OR EXTENDED PERIODS OF RAIN ARE EXPECTED, RETRACT THE AWNING. USING THE REMOTE CONTROL A remote control is provided with the Direct Response system. In simple terms, the remote is a wireless key pad that functions in the same manner that the stationary control panel. The remote provides the advantage of allowing you to operate the awning from any convenient location. The remote has a maximum operating range of 50 feet. Actual distance may vary depending on the specific installation and location of the receiver in the vehicle. Remotes transmit on a frequency of 433MHz. To use: turn system power ON at the control panel. NOTE: Power ON/OFF and the Auto-Retract system can only be operated at the control panel. Extend Retract Stop Press and release. The awning will extend out to the full extension and stop automatically. Press and release. The awning will retract and stop automatically when the awning is fully retracted. Press and release. During extend and retract functions, the awning may be stopped by pressing this button. KEY FOB BATTERY The 433 MHz remote uses a battery (Radio Shack p/n 23-279 or equivalent) that should provide a long period of service.
