Carefree of Colorado Service Manual MIRAGE 

PRODUCT OVERVIEW 

The Mirage Patio Awning offers the coach owner an awning system that provides as much or as little shade 

as required. The canopies are housed in an aluminum case that easily blends in with the coach side wall. 

The canopy is made from acrylic fabric. 

Each unit is equipped with lateral support arms that are the strongest available on the market. No vertical 

arms interfere with coach sidewalls or equipment that may be mounted on the sidewalls or sidewall 

graphics. These arms can also be adjusted to vary the canopy pitch up to 2 feet (it is strongly 

recommended that service and adjustments be performed by trained technicians). 

Units may be ordered with manual crank or motorized. 

Three electronic control systems are available. The standard motorized version provides the user with two interior 

switches; one for power on/off and one for awning positioning. The optional auto-retract system can automatically 

retract the awning during windy conditions and uses the classic anemometer. An optional RF remote control is 

available with the auto-retract system. 

The unique and innovative Direct Response 110V electronic control system provides controls for standard 

extend/retract functions with interior pushbuttons. At the master control panel the auto-retract system can be 

engaged to automatically retract the awning in windy conditions. Sensitivity can be set to respond to a variety of 

wind speed conditions. An RF remote is standard with the Direct Response system.

SYSTEM TESTS 

Standard Electronics w/ Optional Auto-Retract 

1. Provide 110VAC and 12DC power to the awning system. 

2. At the switch panel, turn the POWER SWITCH to "ON". 

3. Press the button to extend the awning. The awning will continue to the maximum extension. 

4. Pressing the button again will stop the awning. 

5. Press the button a third time and the awning will retract. 

6. Set the WIND SPEED switch to 12 mph. Refer to Setting the Wind Speed Sensitivity on page 26. 

7. Extend the awning using the PATIO switch. 

8. Spin the anemometer. The awning should retract automatically to the closed position. 

NOTE: Do not hit the anemometer to spin. Using compressed air provides a constant pressure 

source and the output can be regulated to test the various sensitivity settings. DO NOT 

position the nozzle closer than 10 inches from the cups. 

9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 two (2) more times with the Wind Speed switch set to a medium value and then 

to higher value. 

10. Repeat steps 7 through 8 with the Power switch set to OFF. The awning should not move. 

If the awning does not operate as described: 

If the awning extends, reverse the red and black motor wires. Refer to the wiring diagram. 

 

 

If the awning does not stop at maximum extend or retract, it may be necessary to adjust the "in" and/or 

"out" limit switches. Refer to page 25. 

If the awning does not operate, check the wiring and power according to the wiring diagram. 

TESTING THE REMOTE 

1. Turn the power switch to "ON". 

2. On the remote, press and release the down arrow. The awning should extend. 

3. Press and release the stop (center) button. The awning should stop. 

4. Press and release the up arrow. The awning should retract and stop automatically when fully closed. 

If the awning does not operate as described: 

If the awning moves in a direction opposite than described; in the control box, reverse the red and black 

wires from the motor. 

If the awning does not operate using the remote; program the remote following the directions on page 26. 

Direct Response w/ DKS Style Switch Panel 

When 110VAC power is removed from the system, the controller DOES NOT retain previous positioning 

information. When power is restored, positioning information is updated when the first function is initiated. 

The function LEDs (extend, retract and stop) perform a dual function. When the button is pressed, the LED 

illuminates. The LED stays illuminated during the selected operation and after the awning has fully extended or 

retracted. This provides an indicator of the awning position. When the stop button is pressed, the LED will 

illuminate and stay on until a function is pressed. If on, it indicates that the awning is partially extended/retracted. 

All function buttons are press ON/press OFF. The auto-functions will continue until the awning is fully 

extended/retracted or when the stop button is pressed. 

8 052979-301r6


1. While observing the control panel, have a second person initiate 110VAC power to the coach and 

awning system. The following should occur: 

1.1 The Auto-Retract and Wind Speed LEDs should illuminate briefly then extinguish. 

1.2 The Power ON/OFF and function/position LEDs will briefly illuminate. 

1.3 The system then goes to the default settings: The POWER “ON”, AUTO-RETRact “ON” and MEDIUM 

Wind Speed LED will be on. 

NOTE: The function/position LEDs (extend, stop and retract) will not be illuminated. During 

power up the controller does not retain position information. The controller is 

updated with the first function used.

ELECTRICAL 

IMPORTANT NOTICES: 

Failure to follow the wiring instructions in this publication may void the motor warranty. 

All wiring must conform to NEC (National Electrical Code) and local codes. 

DO NOT wire two or more motors to one switch—No parallel wiring. 

 

The SO cable from the 110VAC awning motor can only pass directly through a wall, it can not be 

laid up in the wall and must be connected to NM wire or individual wires in conduit no more than 

6 inches past the point of entry. 

For 110VAC installations, enclosed junction boxes are required for all wire splices and direct 

connection switch installations. Boxes are required in conformance with prevailing 

construction codes. The servicing technician or installer is required to furnish the flush 

mounted, UL approved electrical duplex boxes where required. 

The 110V electronic control system provides the user with simple pushbutton controls for the awnings 

installed. Four configurations are available: 

WARNING 

ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE VEHICLE BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL SOURCES BEFORE WORKING WITH ELECTRICAL 

WIRING AND COMPONENTS. 

1) Direct Connect (reference as system #1). 110VAC is routed directly through the switches to the awning 

motor. 

System includes: 1 power switch and 1 patio (extend/retract) switch. 

This system is no longer offered. 

2) Optional Relay Box (reference as system #2). 110VAC power is controlled by a relay control box. The 

switches use a 12VDC signal to control the relays. Switch installation is simplified; the switches do not 

require a duplex box. 

System includes: 1 power switch, 1 patio (extend/retract) switch and 1 relay control box. 

This system is no longer offered. 

3) Standard Electronics w/ Optional Auto-Retract (reference as system #3). The optional auto-retract 

system detects adverse wind conditions and retracts the awning. Sensitivity is set by the user. 

Standard system includes: 1 power switch, 1 patio (extend/retract) switch, 1 control box 

An optional anemometer is available for the auto-retract system; and 

An optional remote control is available. 

4) Direct Response (reference as system #4). The 110V electronic control system provides the user with 

simple pushbutton controls for the awning. The Direct Response electronic system is a premier autoretract 

system that detects motion from adverse wind conditions and retracts the awning. Sensitivity 

is set by the user 

System includes: Control box, Master control panel (w/ pushbutton awning control and windspeed 

sensitivity setting), motion sensor. 

An optional RF remote control is available with the Direct Response system. 

An optional ignition lockout is available. 

The switches use a 5VDC signal to operate the control box; thus eliminating the need for a junction 

box for the control panel. 

Components are connected using terminated cables. Terminated cable is 4-wire RJ11 terminated 

phone cord (straight, no twist). This does not include 110VAC power in or awning motor power.

a. The illustration shows the flat square enclosure. The procedure is valid for all enclosure styles 

including the single and double rectangular enclosures. 

b. For reference, use the appropriate Direct Response wiring diagram on page 19. 

c. (Detail A) On older boards, power and motor wires were connected using a spring loaded 

terminal block. Newer and replacement boards use a screw type terminal block. Wire 

connections are the same for both (i.e. motor ground wire goes to terminal 6). 

d. For early units: Label "DSK" was "ACC"; Label "EYE" was "BUS"; Label "AMD" was "Shake". 

1. Disconnect the AC power to the control box. 

2. Remove the lid from the control box and set aside. 

3. Disconnect all wires and cables from the board to be replaced. Mark and tag the wires. The wires must be 

connected to the replacement board in the same configuration as removed from the old board. 

4. Remove the four screws, circuit board and spacers (if used) from the enclosure. Set screws and spacers 

aside. 

5. Install the replacement board in the enclosure. 

For rectangular enclosures use the existing screws. The board seats on top of the molded posts 

and does not require spacers. 

For the square enclosures, new screws and spacers are included with the replacement board. 

Spacers are required to provide clearance from the mounting board. 

6. Connect the wires and cables to the new board. (Refer to notes above). 

7. Restore AC power to the awning systems and test operation. 

8. After testing, use Loctite 29005 or equivalent to secure screws in terminal block. 

9. Reattach the lid to the control box.

NOTE: The original Direct Response Shake Sensor was mounted horizontally on the inside of the 

lead rail. For product integrity, sensors are now mounted vertically. If replacing an original 

horizontally mounted sensor, it is necessary to install the vertical mounting bracket for the 

replacement sensor. Replacement sensors must be mounted vertically and will not work 

properly if mounted horizontally.

2. Detach the existing sensor. The sensor is attached with a strong double sided adhesive tape. It will be 

necessary to use a putty knife or similar tool to carefully pry the sensor off. Use care to not bend or 

otherwise damage the lead rail. Allow the sensor to hang from the cord. DO NOT CUT THE SENSOR 

CABLE. 

3. Use an acetone solvent and clean any glue residue from the inner surface of the lead rail. Follow the 

solvent manufacturer's directions. 

4. The sensor is secured to the new bracket with a #10 x 3/4 screw on each side of the bracket. Insert 

one (1) screw into the edge of the bracket that will be pointed to the inside of the lead rail. 

5. Slide the new vertical mount bracket into the grooves of the lead rail. Position in the approximate 

location of the old sensor. 

6. Secure the bracket by pressing the 1/8 x 9/16 roll pin between the bracket and lead rail as shown. 

Installing a New Sensor 

(Detail B) 

The replacement sensor is furnished with a 25 foot cable. The cable is furnished in case the installed cable 

has been damaged or compromised. 

CAUTION 

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CUT AND SPLICE THE CABLE. IF DAMAGED, THE CABLE MUST BE REPLACED TO ENSURE SYSTEM 

INTEGRITY. 

REMOVING THE OLD SENSOR 

1. After detaching the sensor from the lead rail, loosen the clamping nut on the wire gland. 

2. Unscrew the wire gland from the sensor case and slide down the wire and out of the way. 

3. Remove the back of the sensor case to reveal the PC board. 

22 052979-301r6


4. Carefully remove the board from the case. In some instances, the board may be tacked with adhesive 

and must be pried out. Use care to not damage the cord or connector. 

5. Disconnect the cable from the board and slip the connector out of the case. Set the old sensor parts out of the 

way. 

6. Test the integrity (continuity) of the installed cable. Several cable testers are commercially available. If 

the cable is faulty, go to "Replacing a Sensor and Cable". If the cable is OK go "Installing a Sensor 

Only". 

REPLACING A SENSOR AND CABLE 

1. Remove the existing cable. Pay particular attention to the routing and attachment points of the existing 

cable. 

2. Slide the new sensor into the vertical mounting bracket and secure with a #10 x 3/4 screw as shown. 

3. Route the new cable and sensor to the control box. Arch the cable slightly at the arm joints to avoid 

binding.

10. Tighten the cable gland clamping nut. 

11. Slide the new sensor into the vertical mounting bracket and secure with a #10 x 3/4 screw as shown. 

OPTIONAL MANUAL BYPASS SWITCH – DIRECT RESPONSE 

Installers may elect to install a manual bypass switch for testing or 

emergency operation of the awning. The simple switch allows the 

operator to extend or retract the awning without using the keypad 

control panel. For multiple awning installations, a separate switch 

must be installed for each awning. 

1. Open the control box and identify the terminal block next to the 

phone cord jacks. 

2. Connect the switch to the terminal block as shown in the 

diagram. 

The switch is a single pole, double throw, momentary ON, center

STANDARD SERVICE PROCEDURES 

MANUAL OVERRIDE (MOTORIZED VERSIONS ONLY) 

If 110V power is not available to the coach, the Mirage awning 

can still be safely retracted using the manual override. The 

bypass may be accessed from inside the case on the motor 

housing or from the top of the case above the motor housing. 

To use the inside bottom access: The awning must be open a 

minimum of 8” to afford access to the override. 

To use the top bypass access: Remove the screw and well nut 

that is used to secure the end cap. 

1. Chuck the 7mm hex key into a 3/8” battery powered drill. 

2. Insert the hex key into the manual override on the awning. 

For the top access, it will be necessary to locate the hex by 

feel; it is not visible with the key inserted in the hole. 

3. Operate the drill in the forward (clockwise) direction to close 

the awning. Reverse the drill to open the awning. 

NOTE: When using the bottom override, the awning can only be closed within 6-8”. It will be 

necessary to use the top access to close the awning completely. 

4. When done, return the screw and well nut to the top of the case if removed. 

ADJUSTING THE PITCH 

CAUTION 

DURING INSTALLATION OR WHEN THE PITCH OF THE AWNING IS ADJUSTED, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE LEAD RAIL 

IS PARALLEL TO THE AWNING HOUSING. 

1. Extend the awning fully. 

2. On one end, loosen the 6mm hex screw located on the spring 

arm knuckle. 

3. SLIGHTLY loosen the 3/4” nut on the side of the knuckle. 

4. Turn the 3/4” adjustment nut located on the bottom of the knuckle. 

CLOCKWISE raises the pitch, COUNTERCLOCKWISE lowers the pitch. 

NOTE: When raising the pitch, it is helpful to have a 

second person lift up on the lead rail. 

5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for the other end. Note the caution 

information above. 

6. When the pitch adjustments are completed, tighten the 6mm 

screw and the 3/4” nut on the side of the knuckle. 

When the pitch is adjusted, it is necessary to adjust the angle of 

the lead rail for the awning to close correctly. 

7. SLIGHTLY loosen the 3/4” nut on the side of each arm knuckle 

on the lead rail. 

8. Turn the INSIDE 6mm hex screws of each knuckle to increase 

or decrease the angle of the lead rail. The face of the lead rail 

should be parallel with the coach wall.

SETTING THE MOTOR LIMITS 

The motor limit switches are preset at the factory for best operation of the awning. The “OUT” limit switch is 

used to stop the motor when the awning is fully extended. The “IN” limit switch is used to stop the motor 

when the awning is fully retracted.

Figure 8. Motor Limit Switches. 

The limit switches are located inside the case, near the end cap. It is necessary to extend the awning to 

access the switches. 

Adjusting the OUT Limit Switch 

NOTE: During normal operation, the awning will extend out completely then roll back slightly to 

provide tension to the fabric. 

1. Extend the awning out completely. 

2. Confirm that the arms are fully extended. The motor should stop and the fabric should be tight. If the 

motor continues to run, the fabric will sag; or, if the motor quits before the arms are extended, it will be 

necessary to adjust the “OUT” limit switch. 

3. Using a 4mm Allen wrench turn the “OUT” limit switch. CLOCKWISE increases time the motor runs 

during extension, COUNTERCLOCKWISE reduces the time the motor runs. 

NOTE: It is best to make the adjustments in increments of a single turn. 3 full turns of the 

screw equals approximately 4” of fabric extension. 

4. Extend and retract the awning several times to confirm that the adjustment is correct. 

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as required until the awning extends correctly. 

Adjusting the IN Limit Switch 

NOTE: The “IN” limit switch is not adjusted when the Direct Response system is installed. The system 

electronics monitors the motor and shuts the motor off when the awning is fully retracted. 

If the IN limit switch is accidentally adjusted, the motor may shut off before the awning is fully 

closed. If this occurs, turn the IN adjustment screw clockwise. It is not necessary that the screw 

matches the closed position. The Direct Response electronics control the closed position. 

For motorized awnings w/ standard electronics: 

1. Retract the awning in completely. 

2. Confirm that the arms are fully retracted. The motor should stop when the awning is fully retracted. If 

the motor continues to run; or, if the motor quits before the arms are fully retracted, it will be necessary 

to adjust the “IN” limit switch. 

3. Using a 4mm Allen wrench turn the “IN” limit switch. Clockwise increase time the motor runs during 

retraction, counter clockwise reduces the time the motor runs. 

NOTE: It is best to make the adjustments in increments of a single turn. 3 full turns of the 

screw equals approximately 4” of fabric extension. 

4. Extend and retract the awning several times to confirm that the adjustment is correct. 

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as required until the awning retracts correctly.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE RECEIVER (DIRECT RESPONSE) 

Early transmitters & receivers operate on a frequency of 418MHz. Models for 

2007 & on operate on 433MHz. The transmitter and receiver frequencies must 

match. Identifying the transmitter frequency is described under the operational 

notes below. 

1. Power to the control box must be on. 

2. Press and release the “Press to Learn Transmitter” button on the bottom of the 

receiver box. The receiver is in program mode when the red light comes on. 

3. For Gray Button Key FOBS: Press and release ANY button on the remote. 

It is recommended to use the STOP button. The red light will go out after 

the receiver learns the remote signal. 

CAUTION 

WHEN THE RECEIVER LEARNS THE TRANSMITTER SIGNAL THE SYSTEM WILL 

PERFORM THE OPERATION OF THE BUTTON PRESSED. EXAMPLE: PRESSING AN "EXTEND" BUTTON DURING THE 

LEARNING PHASE WILL CAUSE THE AWNING TO EXTEND WHEN THE RECEIVER LEARNS THE SIGNAL. USE CAUTION 

TO AVOID UNEXPECTED MOVEMENT BY THE AWNING. 

4. For Key FOBS w/ Antenna: Press and release the STOP button on the remote. The red light will go out after 

the receiver learns the remote signal. 

NOTE: Pressing the stop button will cause the blue up arrow button to default as the open 

(extend) function. 

If a function button is pressed to train the receiver, it will be programmed as the open 

(extend) button. Example: Pressing the bottom button will program the bottom button 

for extend and the top button as retract. 

5. Repeat for each additional remote.

STANDARD MAINTENANCE 

Maintaining the Carefree Manual Patio Awning is easy. Just follow these basic steps: 

Always operate the awning according to the instructions. 

Periodically check that the fasteners are tight. Tighten if necessary. 

Keep the awning fabric and arms clean. 

FABRIC CARE 

CAUTION 

DO NOT USE OIL BASED CLEANERS OR ANY CAUSTIC, GRANULATED, OR ABRASIVE TYPE CLEANERS ON YOUR 

CAREFREE PRODUCT. 

1. One of the best ways to keep the fabric looking good and to delay the need for deep or vigorous 

cleanings is to hose fabrics off on a monthly basis with clear water. This practice will help prevent dirt 

from becoming deeply imbedded in the fabric. In most environments, a thorough cleaning will be 

needed every two to three years. 

2. When it’s time for a thorough cleaning, the fabric can be cleaned while still on an awning frame. 

For Vinyl Fabric – Use a soft brush and warm water with soap. 

For Acrylic Fabric – Use a stiff brush and warm water with soap. 

3. When cleaning the fabric, it is important to observe the following: 

Always use a natural soap, never detergent. 

Water should be cold to lukewarm, never more than 100F. 

Air-dry only. Never apply heat to the fabric. 

Always allow the fabric to dry thoroughly before rolling up the awning. 

Mildew 

Mildew is a fungus growth that looks like dirt. Vinyl coated polyester fabrics are mildew resistant because 

of a chemical biocide in the vinyl coating. Under ordinary conditions, mildew will not appear. However, in 

areas where high temperature and humidity are common, mildew can be a problem and required the 

material to be washed more frequently. Thoroughly rinse the fabric with clean water and allow to air dry 

completely before rolling up the awning. 

Pooling 

When water collects on the top of the fabric, this is known as "pooling". This can occur during inclement 

weather or if a running air conditioner discharges over the awning. The water is dumped when the awning 

is retracted. It is recommended that if water accumulates on the top; retract the awning in steps (8"-12") to dump 

the water. This will help prevent the fabric from stretching or distorting. 

The effects of wind and rain on an awning are unpredictable. Severe damage to the awning and the 

vehicle may result. IF WIND OR EXTENDED PERIODS OF RAIN ARE EXPECTED, ROLL UP THE AWNING AND 

SECURE FOR TRAVEL. 

ARM CARE 

The best method of keeping the arms and braces operating smoothly is to clean them. Dirt and debris can 

cause the channels not to slide easily. 

NOTE: Avoid introducing water into the motorized housings. 

Periodically wash out the channels with running water (i.e. a hose) to keep them clean. If the channels still 

do not slide easily, lightly spray the joints with a dry silicone lubricant. After the arms have been cleaned 

and dried thoroughly. 

MOTOR MAINTENANCE 

Check all wiring and connections for wear. Repair when needed.
