Connect the power by plugging in the motor or hard wiring.
Initiate Programming On the transmitter, press and hold both the UP and DOWN simultaneously until the awning jogs. A jog is a brief up and down or in and out
motion. In PROGRAMMING MODE, the awning will move only when the UP or DOWN is held (or momentary fashion).
Check the Direction of operation If hand-held transmitter direction is not properly programmed, Eolis/Soliris RTS sensor will not function in the manner it was

Setting the Limits:
Note the triangle arrows next to the motor limit screws. The triangle points in the direction of the roller tube rotation. If the power cord protrudes from the bottom
of the motor, the forward screw will control the DOWN and the back screw will control the UP.
STEP 1: Press the transmitter to run the motor in the selected direction.
STEP 2: If the motor stops on its own before reaching the desired stop, turn the appropriate limit screw in the positive(+) direction. Every 2 to 3 turns of the limit
adjustment screw will allow the motor to travel about 1 inch further. After every few turns of the limit adjustment screw, use the transmitter to move the
motor to the new limit position. (If the motor does not stop on its own before reaching the desired limit, go to step 4.)
STEP 3: When you are approximately at the desired limit position, use the transmitter to run the motor away from the limit 2 to 3 feet, and then back. This will
allow you to see precisely where the limit is set. Make small adjustments and repeat.
STEP 4: If the motor does not stop on its own at least 6 inches before the desired limit position, stop the motor with the transmitter. Then turn the limit
adjustment screw in the negative (-) direction. Confirm that the motor is stopped at the limit and set the limit as per step 2. If the motor is not stopped at
the limit, continue turning the limit adjustment screw (up to 120 turns may be required).
STEP 5: Set both limits at the desired UP and Down positions.
