PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Eclipse Patio Awning uses unique “scissor” style arms that do not require vertical ground support. The
arms provide easy to use pitch adjustment—simply push together the pins on the arms, snap into the hole
set desired, and the pitch is set! The pitch can be left in any position and the Eclipse will roll up completely!
When the awning is rolled back out, it rolls out to the pitch setting previously set.
The awning rollbar and arms are made from light weight, no-rust aluminum. The awning fabric is offered in
either heavy weight vinyl or the Sunbrella® fabric, one of the most durable, strongest, weather-resistant
and fade resistant fabrics on the market.
Two auto-retract systems are used for the hardwired Eclipse awning, WindSmart (discontinued) and Direct
Response. The system may be installed as part of the original motorized awning installation or as an upgrade to
an existing motorized awning. An auto-retract system offer unique features not available with standard electronics:
• Full-Extend – Press and release the control to extend, the awning extends completely. It is not

• Full-Retract – Press and release the control to retract, the awning retracts completely. It is not. It is not
necessary to hold the button when closing.
• Auto-Retract – The awning can be set to automatically close when windy conditions occur.
