SOL-LUX INSTALLING THE MOUNTING PLATE The EOS window awning mounts directly above the window. 1. Prior to attaching the mounting plate, inspect and clean the mounting area.

Center and level the mounting plate and mark the location of the mounting holes. 4.
EOS MULTIPLE AWNINGS The EOS Awning is available up to 120". For widths that are greater than 120" it is possible to mount two shorter awnings side by side to maximize coverage of the area. Example for a 150" wide window, order two 75" awnings.
SOL-LUX AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION When the EOS is properly mounted and stationary for 1 minute, the awning will detect that the installation is complete and start the calibration. One short beep indicates that the awning is ready to begin the calibration. There will be an audible 30 second countdown. The EOS will open and close as part of the calibration. After the calibration, the awning will function based on the factory preset automatic function settings.
EOS AWNING FAILED TO CALIBRATE Calibration may fail because of the following reasons: Awning is not level and/or plumb. During calibration, the EOS checks its position. If the awning tries to calibrate in an incorrect position, calibration will fail. Remount the awning. Battery charge is too low. Allow the battery to charge with direct sunlight shining on the EOS solar panel.. Battery or awning temperature is out of operating range.
SOL-LUX AUTONOMOUS FUNCTIONS The EOS awning has built-in functions with factory preset values for automatic operation. See the Sol-Lux Mobile App manual for more information. AUTOMATIC OPEN AND CLOSE The EOS automatically opens and closes based OPEN CLOSE upon the amount of sunlight that is detected. When the factory preset sunlight level is matched or exceeded for the extension delay time, the awning will extend.
EOS OBSTACLE SENSING If the lead rail comes in contact with an obstacle while operating, the EOS will stop. When this happens, do the following: 1. Clear the obstacle from the lead rail travel path. 2. Briskly shake the lead rail to simulate a strong wind. The awning will close. Normal operation will resume after the wind extend reattempt delay time has expired (see Wind Sensing). 3. When using the SOL-LUX Mobile App: a. If the awning was blocked while opening, close the awning using the close button. b.
SOL-LUX BATTERY The EOS uses a rechargeable 9.6V Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries (LiFePO4) battery pack. The battery is charged by the integrated solar panel located on the top right of the cassette. The battery comes partially charged and ready for use. It will reach full charge within 2 to 5 days depending on the amount of use and the amount of sunlight the solar panel receives. Charging time will be slower during cloudy or overcast conditions.
EOS MANUALLY CLOSING THE AWNING The EOS awning can be closed manually. Using both hands, gently press the lead rail into the cassette. Apply pressure evenly to both sides of the lead rail. The fabric will roll up into the cassette. NOTE: After closing the awning, the lead rail may “relax” and move out from the cassette a little. This is normal. The awning is secure and can be removed for service.

FABRIC CARE NOTICE Do not use oil based cleaners or any caustic, granulated, or abrasive type cleaners on your EOS product. 1.
