Safety
The manual provides general instructions. Many variables can change the circumstances of the instructions,
i.e., the degree of difficulty, operation and ability of the individual performing the instructions. This
manual cannot begin to plot out instructions for every possibility, but provides the general instructions,
as necessary, for effectively interfacing with the device, product or system. Failure to correctly follow the
provided instructions may result in death, serious personal injury, severe product and/or property damage.
The "WARNING" symbol above is a sign that a procedure has a safety risk involved and may cause death
or serious personal injury if not performed safely and within the parameters set forth in this manual.
Failure to follow instructions provided in this manual may result in death, serious personal injury
and/or severe product and property damage, including voiding of the component warranty.
Unit MUST be supported per manufacturer's recommendations before working underneath. Failure
to do so may result in death or serious personal injury.
Always wear eye protection when performing service, maintenance or installation procedures.
Other safety equipment to consider would be hearing protection, gloves and possibly a full face
shield, depending on the nature of the task.
Moving parts can pinch, crush or cut. Keep clear and use caution.
The "CAUTION" symbol above is a sign that a procedure has a safety risk involved and may cause personal
injury, product or property damage if not performed safely and within parameters set forth in this manual.

Prior to Installation
All screws supporting the awning assembly must have a backer within the structure of the wall of the unit.
Refer to the unit's manufacturer for proper location of backer material.
Resources Required
Installation
Awning Rail Installation (If Needed)
NOTE: Awning rail not included.
1. Position the awning rail along the line where the roof and wall meet or:
A. For pitched awnings, a minimum of 6” above doors or windows
B. For flat awnings, a minimum of 4” above doors or windows
NOTE: The awning rail MUST be level and parallel with the floor line of the unit (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1
2. After determining the awning rail's proper location, mark its position with a non-permanent method of marking.
3. Seal the back of the awning rail with silicone sealant or tape.
4. Align the awning rail on the wall and secure with #10 x ¾” screws, using all fastener holes.

Awning Installation
1. On the awning rail, mark the position of the centerlines of the support arm assemblies. Make sure that
the support arm assemblies will not interfere with any lights, vents or other obstructions.
2. Using a non-permanent method of marking, mark a perpendicular line from the awning rail down to
the floor line. This is the centerline of the support arm assembly (Fig. 2).

3. Insert the drive head assembly shaft into the end cap (Fig. 3).
A. Align the holes and secure with waxed screw.
B. Repeat process for idler head assembly at opposite end of roll tube.
NOTE: Keep the head of the wax screw ⁄" from being fully fastened to avoid compromising the structural
integrity of the wax screw.

4. Use a screwdriver to spread open either end of the awning rail channel (Fig. 4A).
5. To protect the fabric from damage during installation, file any sharp edges or burrs from the awning
rail channel (Fig. 4B).
6. Use silicone lubricant and spray the inside of the awning rail channel (Fig. 4B).
9. Lift the support arm assembly up against the bottom of the awning rail and attach it to the side of the
unit with two #14 x 1 1/4" screws at the top (Fig. 5A) and one screw at the bottom (Fig. 6A).
NOTE: Make sure the awning assembly is square on the unit prior to mounting the bottom screw.
NOTE: Three rivets with ⁄" grip range can be used in place of the two middle and one lower screws for
laminated walls.
10. Repeat step 9 for the other side.
7. Remove the tape from the fabric. Unroll a small portion of fabric.
NOTE: The next steps will require three people: One to feed the polycord into the awning rail channel; two
to walk the support arm assemblies along the awning rail while the fabric slides into position.
8. Slide the polycord into the awning rail channel and walk the support arm assemblies and fabric down
the awning rail channel until the support arm assemblies are in line with the centerline marks.
Failure to mount the support arm assembly tight to the underside of the awning rail will result in failure of
the awning to close properly.

Securing the Fabric
1. Extend and retract the awning several times to make sure the fabric is square on the roll tube.
2. Secure the fabric in the awning rail no more than 1” inside the edge of the fabric on both ends using
a #6 x ½” hex head screw. Install the screw down through the awning rail into the fabric and the
polycord (Fig. 8).

11. Cut the zip ties and connect the wires from the drive head assembly to a drill battery and run the
awning half way out.
C. Install the remaining two #14 x 1 ¼” screws in the two screw slots in the center portion of the
awning assembly (Fig. 7A). Repeat for the other side.

Solera Serenity LED Lights Installation - Optional
The Solera Serenity LED Lights (Fig. 9A) come pre-installed on specifically-fitted support arms. Installation
also requires the proper fabric with an LED wire welded into the fabric at the base. The Edge Awning with
Serenity must be installed prior to wiring the Solera Serenity LED lights.
Fig. 10
1. Wire the LED wires on the idler arm to the wire welded into the awning fabric.
2. Connect the other end of the wire welded into the fabric to the drive arm Serenity LED wire and
connect both to the power source.
3. A 3 amp fuse that meets or exceeds RVIA standards MUST be installed in-line to protect the Serenity
LED lights wiring.
4. Connect the LED power wire to the unit's power source. Make sure the black wire is connected to a
ground and the red wire is connected to a positive 12V DC power source.
Seal Wall Penetrations
1. Seal all fastener locations and wire penetrations with silicone sealant to protect against water intrusion (Fig. 10).

Awning Wiring
The Edge Awning motors come stock with an internal 6A auto-reset breaker. If this breaker trips, it will
take approximately 30 seconds to reset. LCI recommends the awning be wired with a 15A auto-reset
circuit protector. If the circuit protector trips, it will take approximately 30 seconds to reset. All wire shall
be 14 AWG or higher as necessary to provide 11.5V minimum at all times to the LCI-supplied power cable
connection.
1. Pull the wires from the unit through the support arm assembly. These wires may be located at the
bottom or the top of the support arm assembly.
2. Connect wiring from the unit to the switch and the awning drive head. See Wiring Diagram (Fig. 11).
3. Check the switch. If the awning is running in reverse of what the switch indicates, reverse the wires.
