Care And Maintenance - Electric Motor And Remote Transmitter - SunSetter OASIS Owner's Manual & Assembly Instructions

WARNING: ANY PERMANENT WIRING OF THE
AWNING MUST BE PERFORMED BY A LICENSED
ELECTRICIAN PER YOUR LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.
FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY.
The Outdoor Electric Motor
The Motor is supplied by Somfy Systems, Inc, the
recognized world leader in specialized electric tubular
motors for Awnings and sunshades. This 110 volt
Motor is UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and CSA
(Canadian Standards Association) approved. This
Somfy Motor features the manual override option
that allows you the safety and convenience of manual
operation during electrical failures.
The electric Motor is equipped with an automatic
overheat protection shutoff system. If you run your
Awning several times continuously, the Motor will
stop its operation before it overheats. The Motor will
resume normal operation after 15 minutes of cooling
down.
Preparing Your Awning for Winter
Unplugging the Motor Power Cord from your (GFI)
Wall Outlet and covering the socket may prevent rain
and moisture from entering the outlet which could
interfere with proper Motor function in the Spring.
Before rolling up your Awning for the last time of
the season, it may be beneficial to ensure the Fabric
is clean and dry, which will prevent mildew from
forming over the winter.
To aid in Winter protection we strongly recommend
the use of a SunSetter Awning Cover. If you do not
have a cover and would like to order one, please call
800-670-7071. Installing the SunSetter Cover will keep
your Awning clean and ready for use on the first day
of Spring.
The Remote Transmitter
Do not permit the hand-held Remote
Transmitter (see Figure 15) to get
wet as this can affect its proper
operation. It is recommended to
keep the Remote Transmitter indoors
when the Awning is not in use.

Changing the Battery in Your Remote
Transmitter
Please note that you might have
to replace the battery (3V Lithium
CR2430) after 3 years, or if the Remote
Transmitter stops working.
Test the Remote Transmitter by holding down the
Open, Close, or my button (see figure 15) for at least
5 seconds. The LED should flash for at least 5 seconds.
If the LED does not flash for at least 5 seconds,
without losing brightness, replace the battery.
One spare battery (3V Lithium CR2430) is included
with the Remote Transmitter packaged with your
SunSetter Oasis Motorized Awning.
You should find this type of battery (3V Lithium
CR2430) in any local hardware store. To replace the
battery, simply remove the small Phillips screw on
the back of the Remote Transmitter, remove the
back cover, replace the old battery and reinstall the
back cover and Phillips screw. Be sure to note the
orientation of the old battery as you remove it.
