Mounting Height
To assure head clearance at the front of the awning, we recommend the front prole to be
above 7 foot from the deck/patio.
For each foot that the awning projects out from the wall, raise the wall instlation by 3".
For e.g. if the awning projection is 5 feet the instalation height should be 7 feet plus 15 inches,
a total height of 8 feet and 3 inches.
Note: When making the decision on the mounting height, remember that the
awning requires 8 inches of unobstructed area along the whole length of the
awning to t the mounting brackets on your wall, 9 inches of unobstructed
area along the wall needed if mounting with a hood.

Sunsation Instructions Manual 5
Surface Preparation
Proper location of the brackets is the most important aspect of the awning mounting.
They must be fastened to studs, joists, headers or other major structural members. Even
a moderate wind exerts great force on the awning and mounting brackets. This is why it
is most important that all awning mounting brackets be fastened properly and securely.
Proper location will also make it easier to insert the support tube when hanging the awning.
Warning: failure to securely fasten all the brackets to the wall
could result in the collapse of the awning and cause personal injury
Wall surface
Make sure that the face is structured and not just an unsupported facade. Make sure
the wall is at, by pulling a rope from one side to the other. If the wall is not straight, the
brackets will not align properly (Picture above).
Warning: when the wall is not straight, do NOT force/bend the awning to
reach the wall, it will go o alignment and wont roll properly.
Soft walls
Shingles, vinyl, aluminum siding, clapboards or stucco walls.
The best way to deal with a soft or unleveled walls is to
mount a 2” x 10” pressure treated board (shim)
to the house and fasten the brackets through
the board into the header and studs. Longer
bolts are needed. This is also recommended for
uneven walls.

Mounting the Brackets
Position the bracket on the wall (or on the shim), and mark the top and bottom holes.
Remove the bracket and drill the top hole through the siding block or shim (if appropriate)
and about 3-1/2” into the stud or joist. Using a 1/4” drill bit. This will prevent the framing
from splitting while installing the lag screws. Make sure the bottom hole is plumbed with the
top hole, then drill the bottom hole.
Using a 9/16” socket, install the bracket with the two 3/8” x 4” long lag screws. While
tightening the lag screws, keep the bracket plumb (use level if needed). Do not over tighten
the lag screws; doing so may split the wood framing or weaken the screw.
Brick and concrete
Use a 5/8” Masonry drill bit. Insert 3/8" long lag shield and use 3/8” x 4” long lag screws, or
use 3/8" concrete drop anchors.
The masonry fasteners are ONLY to be installed within the main body of a brick, not within
1/2” of an outer edge of the brick. Fasteners are also not suitable for hollow cinder-block
type construction or wall surfaces that have deteriorated.
Standard Mounting Brackets
The standard mounting brackets (Picture 1) can only be used for wall and roof mounting.
Hood and Sot Mount Brackets
These brackets are designed to be used for awnings with a hood and for sot mounting
(Picture 2), it can also be used for regular wall mounting. For roof mounting, an additional
adjustable bracket is needed (Picture 3).

Bracket Positioning
For proper alignment, pull a rope line on
the wall to other side where the other
bracket will be placed, and use a rope
line level to make sure it is 100% straight
(Picture 1).
Repeat the same process to all brackets.
Two brackets to be placed on both sides of
each arm, within 10" of the arm shoulder
(Picture 2). The same rule also applies to all
other arms (for larger awnings). All other
brackets should be spread out equally.
If the awning has a fabric center support,
make sure not to locate a wall bracket
where it will interfere with the center
support. All brackets must be mounted into
studs or structural members.
The same rule also applies to Sot
mounting brackets.
Note: If the awning has a fabric center support, it should be installed on a fabric
seam as close to the center of the unit as possible. Adjust the cradle so neither
front or back edge touches the fabric as it rolls in and out.

Adding the Awning Hood
Note: While Somfy motors are designed for outdoor usage, they are NOT
waterproof. An awning with a motor requires a hood to protect the motor
from water damage. Awnings without a hood, WILL NOT be eligible for motor
warranty repair or replacement.
You will need to install the hood before installing the awning. Insert the 2 provided screws
in the plastic, make sure the longer screw is positioned closer to the wall and the shorter
screw outwards (Picture 1). Then slide the plastic (with the screws) into the hood raceway.
Proceed with adding the two side covers and fasten it with the provided screws.
Then carefully lower the hood onto the brackets and guide the bolts through the
appropriate holes on the brackets. Then, using the supplied nuts and washers, carefully
tighten the nuts and attach end covers.
Make sure that the top edge of the hood is ush to the wall (Picture 2), on each bracket,
otherwise it may result in a crooked hood (Picture 3) and may eventually damage the fabric.
Note: Improper hood installation may also cause damage to the Awning,
fabric and to the motor.

Arm alignment
Every awning is perfectly aligned and tested before it leaves the Sunsation facility. After
installing you will need to check for both arms to be aligned. If they are not aligned, you will
need to roll down the awning completely and adjust the fabric. (this is only if the fabric was sewn
at Sunsation, otherwise you will need to adjust the arms, which is usually not recommended).
Fabric adjustment
Using example (picture above) when the left arm is outwards
1. Extend the awning to its full projection, continue opening until the roller
tube is uncovered
2. Pull and slide the FABRIC on the ROLLER TUBE towards the RIGHT side.
3. Roll up the Awning, the problem should be solved.
The same is for the opposite side. If the right arm is outwards, you'll pull/slide
the fabric on the roller tube towards the left side.
Warning: DO NOT screw into the roller tube, it WILL damage the motor
and WILL NOT be eligible for motor warranty repair or replacement.
Arm up and down (vertical) adjustment (SUN 3500 cross arm)
If the arms doesn’t align vertically, which arms can rub onto each other,
you'll need to lift the upper arm, and/or to lower the lower arm.
There are 2 screws on the pitch control, under the square bar (one on the right side
and one the left side) (picture 1).
For the lower arm, use the 2 screws on the extension bracket, close to square
bar. NOT the screws from the lower bracket (picture 2). Do not overtighten.
To raise the right arm, turn the left screw counterclockwise, and turn the right screw clockwise.
To raise the left arm, turn the right screw counterclockwise, and turn the left screw clockwise.
Note: always turn the counterclockwise rst and then turn the clockwise.

Universal RTS receiver wiring
The Universal Receiver should be mounted as close to the motor as possible. If mounted
outside, ensure that the connections are facing down to avoid rain seepage. Avoid
mounting the control against any metallic surface, as this may aect radio reception.
Connect high voltage wires according to the wiring diagram on the next page. Make sure
to use included watertight strain relief ttings to maintain the weatherproong of the
enclosure.
If used, the RTS sensor should be placed close to the awning or shading system to make
sure the wind speed or sun intensity is measured at the product. Guard against installing
the wind sensor too close to an obstruction such as a chimney, gutter or the window
covering itself, which could block the wind and cause erroneous sensor readings. The
sensor should also not be mounted in the shade or be obstructed by trees, to ensure
accurate sunlight readings.

Identify which limit adjustment screw controls the up limit and which controls
the down limit. the arrows by the limits adjustments screws refer to the tube's
rotation. Turning the adjustment screw positive (+) will increase the maximum
travel in the direction that it controls and turning it negative (-) will decrease
the maximum travel.
Run the motor in the selected direction, If the motor stops on its own before
reaching the desired stop, turn the appropriate limit screw positive (+). Every
2 or 3 turns of the limit adjustment screw will allow the motor to travel about
1" further. After every few turns of the limit adjustment screw use the control
switch to move the motor to the new limit position.
When you are approximately at the desired stop, use the control switch to run the motor away from
the limit 2 or 3 feet and then back. This will allow you to see precisely where the limit is set. Make small
adjustments and repeat.
If the motor does not stop on its own at least 6 inches before the desired limit position, stop the motor
with the control switch. Then turn the adjustment screw in the negative (-) direction.
NOTE: The motor has a built-in thermal cut-o. If after several minutes of use the motor will
not run in either direction allow the motor to cool approximately 20 minutes.
