ELECTRONIC CONTROLS MANUAL

Overview

The Girard Link System brings to RV user new control technology that was designed to

eliminate unnecessary wiring of controls and utilize wireless RF linking to save space, reduce

weight and facilitate installation. Some examples of this are:

1. The wired Anemometer is replaced with an RF remote Anemometer unit that will retract

up to 2 awnings without hard wiring to to the control box.

2. The Ignition retract and Lock-out require 12volts dc from the ignition in order to

communicate with the Motor Controller and retract the awning.

The system consists of several modules that perform specific functions and communicate with

each other by transmitting or receiving radio (RF) signals.

SYSTEM MOTORS

Three types of motors are provided with the G-Link System

1. Standard AC Motors

2. Standard DC Motors

3. Receiver (Radio) motors

The Standard Motors require a motor control module to operate with a Remote Control, while

the Receivers Motors have a built in Receiver and do not require a motor control module.

The variety of motors is used in Girard Systems awnings and we give here a list of the most

commonly used units.

Remote Motion Sensor

Part No. 98GC779G ( Transmitter)

The Remote Motion Sensor is designed to prevent structural damage to an awning when it is subjected to high stress

induced by wind or other causes: In the past this was done using an Anemometer that measured the wind speed and

made the awning retract if the speed was greater than a preset value (Typically 18 mph).

The Remote Motion Sensor measures directly the movement of the awning using an accelerometer and it will send a

retract signal to the awning when the acceleration exceeds a preset value for longer than 3 seconds.

To install and program this unit open the housing by removing the four sDCews that retain the lid.

The preset value that triggers the retract signal may be changed using the black dial located on the front of the

Printed Circuit Board. This dial (See Picture 21) changes the sensitivity in 9 steps: Level 1 results in the maximum

sensitivity and will cause retraction with the least motion while level 9 will require a large acceleration. When level

0 (zero) is chosen the unit is turned off.

The Remote Motion Sensor is shipped with a factory preset value (level 3) that will operate with reasonable

sensitivity.

Ignition Lockout

Model 98GC1102 (Transmitter)

The Model GC1102 Ignition Lockout is designed to send a retract signal to the G-Link controls of Girard

Systems. Whenever the engine of the Recreational Vehicle is turned on the GC1102 will send a retract

signal 3 times within 5 seconds, this will insure that all Awnings are retracted and are in the closed

position. 2 minutes after sending a retract signal the GC1102 will disable power to each Awning and the

power will be disabled until the engine is turned off again. The Ignition Lockout has an AC Plug to

connect to a 110 VAC supply and the white power cable with a connector will power the G-Link Control

box of the awning. To initiate its operation the Ignition Lockout requires that the two wires from the box

be powered with 12 Volts/GND coming from the Ignition switch (See figure 1 below).. When more than

one GC1102 is used on the same coach the delay must be different from each other, this will avoid

interference between any two awnings (see programming delay below).

NOTE: All awnings must also be closed prior to moving the vehicle. As an extra safety precaution As an

extra safety precaution a visual check that the awning is fully closed is required.

Remote Anemometer

Model GC 116I (Transmitter)

The model GC 83-A Anemometer Remote is a unit that operates in conjunction with a Girard Product and provides

a wireless anemometer function by sending an All Channels Retract signal whenever the wind speed is exceeds a

pre-settable value for longer than 3 seconds.

This unit requires 12VDC power either from the DC Panel or from a 110V/12V power adapter and can be

programmed to control up 20 Receivers from anywhere in the Coach.

The GC83 offers three ranges of wind speed sensitivity (see Fig. 1):

0 to 1 Wind Speed between 0 and 10 mph

1 to2 Wind Speed between 10 and 18 mph

2 to 3 Wind Speed between 18 and 30 mph

Fig. 1

Installation and Programming steps

Select an appropriate location and mount the Anemometer base to the coach roof or side

Connect a +12VDC source to the RED wire from the unit and the ground to the WHITE wire.

Select the Wind speed range desired.

NOTE: The Anemometer sends the retract signal to all awnings simultaneously and the power

system of the vehicle must withstand the resulting surge of current. The surge is greatest when

all awnings are fully extended. Verify that all awnings will retract under these conditions (fully

extended). If this is not the case you may:

Provide sufficient power from your panel or

Purchase a Delay Retract Disconnect unit

Purchase a Motion Sensor Remote instead of the Anemometer
