Screw
STEP1
• Disconnect the 12VDC power from the control module.
• Make note of the incoming wires per the wiring diagram.
• Disconnect the incoming wires.
• Unscrew the four retaining screws securing the control
module, then li up the module to remove.
STEP2 Wind Sensor
Sealant
Screw
• Remove the screws securing the existing wind sensor, then
fill the screw holes using sealant.
You may leave the existing wind sensor installed to reduce
the possibility of leaks.
B. Installing The New Recessed Top Bracket (If Applicable)
If the new bracket matches the bracket that is already installed, or if side-mounting brackets have been used, skip to section “C.
Installing The New Wind Sensor.”

STEP1
• Open the awning approximately 8” – 12”.
• Remove the screws attaching the existing top bracket to
the right-hand side back channel of the awning.
• Remove all lag screws attaching the existing top bracket to
the wall. Keep the lag screws for reinstallation.

New Top
Bracket
• Install the new top bracket using the #10-32 screws.
• Seal any holes remaining from the old top bracket to
reduce the possibility of leaks, then reinstall the lag screws
removed in Step 1.
(Optional) You may repeat this process to replace the top
bracket on the opposite side of the awning, but it is not
required. This would be done for aesthetic reasons only.
