Fiamma Motor Kit Compact F65L User Manual

Quick guide from the manual

The Fiamma Motor Kit Compact F65L is designed to motorize your awning. This kit operates on 12V DC. Key safety requirements include disconnecting the vehicle battery during installation, ensuring the correct fuse (T 6,3A L 250V) is used, and never placing hands or objects in the mechanical parts while the awning is in motion. If the motor fails, a manual crank handle is provided.

Package contents

The kit includes the motor unit, cover, control system, manual crank handle, and necessary mounting hardware (rivets, screws). Ensure all parts are present and undamaged before starting installation.

Installation

Installation should be carried out by qualified personnel in compliance with local regulations. The process involves mounting the motor unit to the awning, securing the cover with the provided rivets, and connecting the electrical system.

Rivet installation

To secure the cover: insert the rivet (A+B) into the holes, detach screw B from its support, and tighten screw B fully. To remove the cover later (e.g., for fuse replacement), loosen the screws and pull out the rivet body.

Electrical connection

The system operates at 12V. Choose the shortest and safest route for the power cable. Use appropriate cable clamps. It is recommended to connect the system to a relay (not supplied) that cuts off power when the ignition key is turned, preventing accidental opening while driving. The motor is protected by a T 6,3A L 250V fuse. Never operate the product without this fuse.

General test

After installation, perform a test: ensure the awning opens when the switch is in EXTEND and closes in RETRACT. If reversed, invert the polarity. Test the microswitch by opening the awning completely and closing it; the microswitch should interrupt movement if pressed. If not, adjust the microswitch using a clamp.

Operation

Standard Operation: Use the control system button to open or close the awning. Releasing the button stops the movement. If the awning does not stop, the microswitch may be defective or disconnected; the lead bar will close until it hits the end, triggering the protection fuse.

Manual Operation: If the motor fails, you can close the awning by bypassing the electrical system using the provided crank handle F.

Safety and maintenance

Always check that the awning is correctly closed before driving. Periodically check the fixing status, especially after long journeys. Do not wash the outer covering with aggressive products that could damage the surface finish. If the awning extends more than 100 mm from the vehicle profile, it must be recorded in the vehicle registration documents.

Troubleshooting

If the motor fails to operate, check the fuse. If the awning does not stop at the end of its travel, check the microswitch connection and adjustment. For further issues, contact your local dealer and provide the data from the nameplate.
