PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Eclipse Patio Awning uses unique “scissor” style arms that do not require vertical ground support. The
arms provide easy to use pitch adjustment—simply push together the pins on the arms, snap into the hole
set desired, and the pitch is set! The pitch can be left in any position and the Eclipse will roll up completely!
When the awning is rolled back out, it rolls out to the pitch setting previously set.
The awning rollbar and arms are made from light weight, no-rust aluminum. The awning fabric is offered in
either heavy weight vinyl or the Sunbrella® fabric, one of the most durable, strongest, weather-resistant
and fade resistant fabrics on the market.
Two auto-retract systems are used for the hardwired Eclipse awning, WindSmart (discontinued) and Direct
Response. The system may be installed as part of the original motorized awning installation or as an upgrade to
an existing motorized awning. An auto-retract system offer unique features not available with standard electronics:
Full-Extend – Press and release the control to extend, the awning extends completely. It is not
necessary to hold the button when opening.
Full-Retract – Press and release the control to retract, the awning retracts completely. It is not. It is not
necessary to hold the button when closing.
Auto-Retract – The awning can be set to automatically close when windy conditions occur.
Remote Control – The operator can conveniently operate the awning from any location with a wireless
remote control.

REMOVING THE SPRING
1. Extend the awning out approximately 10 inches. This will allow access to the attaching screws for the covers.
2. Tie the arm as shown in Detail A. Use a soft rag or similar material beneath the tie material to prevent
damaging the finish. CAUTION
THE ARM IS UNDER TENSION FROM THE GAS SHOCK.WHEN THE HEAD IS DISENGAGED FROM THE ROLL BAR,THE
ARM WILL TRY TO EXTEND FROM THE GAS SHOCK TENSION IF THE ARM IS NOT TIED AND SECURED.
3. Remove the six (6) small screws for the front cover and the one (1) large screw that attaches the rear
cover to the frame. Set covers and screws aside and save.
CAUTION
THE SPRING WILL HAVE A MINIMUM OF ONE WIND WHEN THE AWNING IS PARTIALLY OPEN.FIRMLY HOLD THE
IDLER HEAD WHILE DISASSEMBLING.WITH MINIMUM TENSION THE SPRING CAN STILL UNWIND WITH FORCE
THATCAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

DIAGNOSTICS
The following procedures are intended to aid the service technician to logically resolve operational issues
with the mechanical and standard electronics installations.
Common Operational Items
The following items are operational items that may come up as questions during normal operation. These
are also given in the operator's manual.
1. The motor has a thermal protection circuit. If the motor overheats, the circuit will shut off the motor.
Wait approximately 15 minutes, operation will return to normal. As an example, this may occur if the
awning is fully closed and retract switch pushed repeatedly, then the awning does not extend.
2. The awning seems to extend and retract slowly. The operational range is 28-35 seconds to extend or
retract. If the power supply is on the low side of the range (10V) the awning will move slower.
3. The awning may appear to move jerkily. When the fabric is rolled out, the Alumaguard or Uniguard
may "bounce" creating a wave like motion in the canopy fabric. This will create the appearance of
moving jerkily.
4. With Uniguard, the awning sticks or hangs up. When Uniguard is installed with a vinyl canopy, the vinyl
will have a tendency to "cling" to the Uniguard when not used over an extended period. Open and
close the awning in short bursts 2 or 3 times, the awning will then open normally.
