General Specifications – Retractable Awnings CSI Section 107313 (previously 10536) Part 1 - GENERAL

A. Summary: Retractable awnings that are self-supporting, lateral spring loaded arm system. These awnings are retracted when not in use and are self-storing by design. The fabric rolls off the round roller tube as the awning is extended. The unit’s arms provide outward pressure to keep the fabric taut. The awning mounts directly to any flat surface, under a soffit or can be roof mounted when limited mounting height is available. Retractable awnings typically can come up to 40’ wide in a single unit and can project up to 16’6” out. Retractable awnings can be manually operated with a removable crank handle or can be motorized, operated by a wall switch, remote control or be fully incorporated into an automation system.

B. Manufacturer: Shall furnish all awnings, electrical control components and

accessories for complete installation and single source responsibility. Eclipse Awning Systems, LLC

eliminate all resulting debris from the site.

Maintenance: C1. Fabrics: Exterior mounted acrylic fabrics require occasional maintenance. Fabric

cover can be cleaned while still on an awning frame or, size permitting, they can be removed for cleaning . It can be periodically brushed in place, or cleaned with soapy water or a mild detergent and a soft brush, followed by a thorough rinsing with clean water. Compete cleaning instructions should be followed by the fabric

manufacturer. C2. Framework: requires occasional rinsing of the framework with fresh water.

Framework can be hand waxed to preserve the frame’s finish. Moving components may require occasional lubrication. Avoid spraying lubricants on the fabric.

PART VIII -STANDARD INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Tools you will need for an Eclipse® installation: Allen Wrenches: 4mm, 6mm, 7mm, 12mm 3/16” (motor bracket) Open/Box Wrenches: 13mm Tools you will need for a Total Eclipse® installation: Allen Wrenches: 5mm, 6mm, 8mm 3/16” (motor bracket) Open/Box Wrenches: 17mm, 22mm Lag Screw Recommendation: Attaching the lag screws to the most solid part of the structure available is key for an installation that will stand the test of time. When installing (on any surface) you want no less than 2 ½ ” of lag into the stud, roof rafter or header board. Any thing less than the 2 ½ ” will compromise the integrity of the installation. Always remove all material that can compress and allow the bracket to “rock”; install the bracket on a strong level surface. Mounting Height: Allowing for the front bar of the unit to be 7' off the ground you should mount the unit according to projection by the following guide. The bottom of the bracket should be your point of reference. Projection Mounting Height

Projection Mounting Heights 5-0 8-0 7-4 8-3 9-0 8-9 10-6 9-3 11-6 9-6 13-0 9-6 14-9 10-0 16-6 10-6

STALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Bracket Placement: Before attaching the brackets to the house, make sure that the unit can be installed where it is supposed to go, based on the location of the brackets. There are certain areas of the awning where either the end bracket or the arm shoulder will impede the square tube from entering the installation brackets. Begin this process by matching the width of the awning to the area of the house designated for installation. Mark with a pencil where the awning will go, then determine the location of the available studs or roof rafters. Once you figure out where you can put brackets on the wall match them up with where you can put them on the awning. Do your best to bookend each shoulder for maximum strength. The best location for the install brackets is no less than 8” and no more than 16” to both sides of the arm shoulder.

5

Attaching the Brackets to the Wall: Determine the height of your installation, measure the exact height on both ends of the install site and use a chalk line to ensure level bracket placement. Take the 6mm bolt out of each bracket. Mark the holes that need to be drilled by placing the bottom of the installation bracket on the chalk line and marking the openings. Pre-drill the lag screw holes to prevent splitting the studs. (1/4” drill bit) Lag the brackets to the wall leveling each bracket before fully tightening the lag bolts. Put the Unit Up: With the fabric on top, lift the unit up and place the square (torsion) bar in the brackets. Make sure the square tube slides all the way to the back of the bracket, insert and tighten the 6mm bolt.
