\\
Girard Systems awnings may be operated in light wind and rain
conditions. When periods of heavy rain and or high wind are expected
the awning must be closed. Never leave the awning open and
unattended.
Damage caused by wind and rain is not covered by warranty.
All awnings must be closed prior to moving the vehicle for any reason.
As an extra safety precaution a visual check that every awning is fully
closed is required.
Damage caused by failure to comply with these instructions is
not covered by warranty.
Before using your awning, ensure that the area into which the awning
will be deployed is free of obstructions (Trees, walls, pillars, posts,
other vehicles etc.)
Damage caused by collisions with any of the above or similar is
not covered by warranty.
Before using your awning make sure that all of your electrical circuits
are operating correctly. Recreational Vehicles can generate AC power
from three separate sources. The electrical system transfer switch in
your vehicle will select power for the awning as follows:
Shore Power –if connected;
Generator Power –if the generator is running;
Inverter Power –batteries must be charged for inverter operation.
Girard Systems awnings are supplied with an electric motor appropriate to the
product.

THE G–LINK SYSTEM
The G-Link motors and control modules provided by Girard Systems communicate by
use of RF signals on a frequency of 433.92 MHZ. This eliminates the need for wiring
and the drilling of holes in the vehicle. These components must be electronically
matched, programmed or paired before use. This is usually done at the Girard Systems
factory. Should the need arise for the user to pair a device with the motor controller
they must refer to the appropriate manual for the devices applicable to their particular
installation.

98GC274B PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AC Motor Controller with LED (12V DC) control plus Ignition retract and lockout.
Fig.1
•This module is designed to control a single Standard 110v AC Motor up to 8
Amps and can be remotely operated with any paired G-Link handset or wall
switch.
•The controller will receive signals from a distance of more than 500ft in open air
and more than 100ft in the presence of obstructions. The RF transmission
frequency is 433.92MHZ.
•The GC274B may be programmed with up to 20 compatible remote modules. If
an additional module is programmed it will replace the most recently
programmed module. The previous 19 modules will remain unchanged.
•The command to retract the awning can be initiated by turning on the ignition
switch or by releasing the parking brake depending upon how it is installed.
•This module will cause the awning to retract when the vehicle prepares to move
and then remove power to the awning so that it cannot be redeployed while the
vehicle is in motion.

REMOTE MOTION SENSOR
Programming the GC274B to a Motion Sensor (98GC779G)
This procedure will require opening the motion sensor module by following the
directions below;
a. Remove the 2 small cross head screws which secure the motion sensor to the
mounting bracket. See Fig.11.
Fig.11
b. Detach the motion sensor from the bracket, the base plate is magnetized so will
need to be gently lifted off. Then turn it over. See Fig.12

Fig.12
c. Remove the 4 cross head screws holding the module together. Remove the back
plate and silicone insert. See Fig.13.

d. Turn the base plate over (Magnet down). Then place the motion sensor on top of
it so that the magnet is aligned with the reed switch. See fig.14. If this is not
done the default program cannot be changed.
Fig.14
Note; when carrying out this part of the procedure each step must be
executed within 10 seconds of the previous one or the module will revert to
factory settings. It is highly recommended that you read and understand the
following sequence before attempting to execute it.
a. Set the Motion sensor Adjustment Dial to level 5. (See Fig.14)
b. To initiate the programming sequence, power to the motor controller must be
disconnected for at least 10 seconds then reconnected.
c. Connect the GC779G Motion sensor to a 12volt DC circuit. At this point the
Purple LED will illuminate and then begin to blink. If it does not, the module is
not receiving the correct power. Ensure that the magnet and reed switch are
aligned and verify the electrical connection before proceeding.
