Awning Installation

1. On the awning rail, mark the position of the centerlines

of the support arm assemblies. Make sure 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 oor

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). Align the holes and secure with waxed screw.

Repeat process for idler head assembly at opposite end.

NOTE: Keep the head of the wax screw ⁄” from 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 on the installation side (Fig.4A).

5. To protect the fabric from damage during installation, le

any sharp edges or burrs from the awning rail channel.

6. Use silicone lubricant and spray the inside of the awning

rail channel (Fig.4B).

Fig.4

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 previously-made centerline marks.

9. Lift the support arm assembly up and secure by setting

the awning assembly to the desired height and attaching it

to the side of the unit with two #14 x 1 ¼” screws at

the top (Fig.5) and two #14 x 1 ¼” screws at the

bottom (Fig.6).

Fig.5

Fig.6

NOTE: Best practice for setting the awning height is to

push the top of the support arm assemblies up to be ush

with the bottom of the awning rail. The awning height

can be adjusted lower if desired, but make sure the

distance from the awning rail to the top of the support arm

assemblies is consistent at both ends of the awning.

NOTE: Make sure the awning assembly is square on the

unit prior to mounting the bottom two screws.

NOTE: Four rivets with ⁄” grip range can be used in place

of the two middle and two lower screws on laminated walls.

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.

3. Install the screw down through the awning rail into the

fabric and the polycord (Fig.8).

10. Cut the zip ties and connect the wires from the drive

head assembly to a power source and run the awning

halfway out.

11. Remove the wire cover to expose the fastening points.

12. Install the remaining two #14 x 1 ¼” screws at any of

the three locations shown in the center of the support arm

(Fig. 7).

13. Repeat this process for the other side of the awning

assembly.

Awning Wiring

Solera Power Awning motors come stock with an internal

6A auto-reset breaker. If this breaker trips, it will reset

in approximately 30 seconds. LCI recommends that the

awning be wired into a 15A circuit breaker.

All wire shall be 14 AWG or higher AWG as necessary to

provide 12V minimum at all times to the LCI-supplied power

cable.

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 per the wiring diagram (Fig.9).

NOTE: Check the manual rocker switch for normal

operation. If the awning is running in reverse of what the

switch indicates, reverse the wires.

NOTE: To prevent pinching of the wires, make sure all

wires are routed on the outside of the pin that secures the

pitch arm to the mount arm (Fig.10).

Installation With Speakers Option

1. Remove the wire covers in both mount arms.

2. At both support arm assemblies there will be a wire

labeled “speakers.” Connect these to the radio wires

provided from the unit (Fig.11).

NOTE: Speaker wire is indicated with a blue insulation on

the wiring.

Fig.11

NOTE: On the drive side, the speaker wire will be

connected at the same location on the support arm

assembly as the power wire for the motor. On the idler

side, the speaker wire may be connected at the top or

bottom of the support arm assembly.

Fig.12

Installation With LED Options

LED Roll Tube Installation

1. Remove the wire covers in the idler side mount arm.

2. Make sure to align LED light wires (Fig.12A) coming

from the idler head with the LED light on

the roll tube (Fig.12B).

3. Connect the plug from the idler head (Fig.12A) to the

plug from the LED light (Fig.12B) on the roll tube.

4. Take the LED power wire that is already fed through

the idler leg and connect to the desired power wire

from the unit.

NOTE: Make sure the black wire is connected to a ground

wire and the red wire is connected to a 3A maximum fuse

(usually behind the switch) and then to a power source

from the unit.

LED Light Rail Installation

NOTE: Solera Power Awning must be installed prior to

LED Light Rail installation.

1. Seal the back of the LED light rail with silicone sealant or

Butyl tape.

2. Mount the LED light rail (Fig.13B) directly below the

awning rail (Fig.13A) and secure to the side of the unit.

3. Remove the wire covers in the drive side mount arm.

4. Route the light wire over the top of the upper brackets

on the drive side mount arm and run the light wire down

through the mount arm (Fig.13C).

Fig.13

5. Cut the power and ground wires to the desired length

and connect to the unit wiring. Make sure to connect the

red wire on the light side to the power wire on the unit side

and connect the black wire from the light side to the ground

wire from the unit side.

NOTE: The LED light rail must be wired through a 3A

maximum fused circuit.

Seal Wall Penetrations

1. Seal all fastener locations and wire penetrations to

protect against water intrusion (Fig.14).

Fig.14

2. Reinstall all wire covers into the support arm assemblies.

Operation

Fig.15

NOTE: Some units may not use the LCI switch (Fig.15).

Extending the Awning

1. Verify the RV battery is fully charged and connected to

the electrical system.

2. Locate the locking latch on the side of the support arm,

if equipped, and unlock the latch.

NOTE: This latch is optional and may or may not be

installed on one or both support arms.

3. Press and hold EXTEND (Fig.15A) until the awning is

extended completely.

TYING DOWN THE ROLL TUBE ONCE THE AWNING

FLOATING SUPPORT ARMS TO WORK AS DESIGNED

AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AWNING OR

UNIT.

Retracting the Awning

1. Verify the RV battery is fully charged and connected to

the electrical system.

NOTE: The awning can be retracted without resetting

the pitch.

2. Press and hold RETRACT (Fig.15B) until the awning is

retracted completely.

3. Locate the locking latch on the side of the support arm,

if equipped, and lock the latch.

NOTE: This latch is optional and may or may not be

installed on one or both support arms.

Adjusting Pitch

NOTE: The awning will pitch itself to purge the pooling of

excess water and may dump a signicant amount of water

without notice.

4. Pitch can be set by adjusting the pitch arm to tip one

side of the awning to allow water runoff or shade.

5. Extend the awning to the fully open position.

6. Choose the side of the awning for optimum shade or

convenient water runoff. Pull downward on the joint of

the pitch arm until desired pitch is set (Fig.17) to allow for

water runoff.

NOTE: Do not push the joint of the pitch arm up past

the point where the two sections are in line. This will put

tension on the gas strut, which can cause the strut to

break.

Fig.17

pitch

Extension is considered complete when the fabric is

completely unrolled, the valance is hanging down from the

roll tube and a section of the roll tube is exposed (Fig.16).

The awning fabric should always be above the roll tube.

However, if the EXTEND switch is engaged too long

or EXTEND is hit inadvertently instead of RETRACT,

the awning will roll up backward. This is not a defect. To

correct the fabric orientation, press the RETRACT button

(Fig.15B). The awning will then extend to its correct

orientation and normal operation can resume.
