1 Introduction

1INTRODUCTION

Carefree of Colorado strives to design high quality, versatile products that stand the test of time. We

already offer a variety of customizable awnings to complement your RV, and now, with the Carefree BT12

Wireless Awning Control System you have complete control of your awnings.

The BT12 Wireless Control System offers several options to enhance your awning experience. OEM’s may

install these options as a standard offering or they can be added to your system at a later date. Contact

your Carefree sales rep about these options.

The BT12 Wireless Awning Control System offers multiple methods of operating the awning, including

standard switch operation, the Carefree Connects Mobile App, and the BT Remote.

2COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION GUIDE

NOTE: Illustrations in this manual shows the standard Carefree switches. Some OEM’s may choose to furnish

their own switches or incorporate the power and Extend/Retract controls in a multiplexing control system. The

directions are valid for all configurations.

GNITION

OCKOUT

The BT12 Control System provides two options for transportation safety using ignition lockout.

Standard - The system disables the extend function while the vehicle ignition key is in the ON position.

RTL – The system fully retracts the awning and disables the extend function when the vehicle ignition key is in the

ON position.

Functions will return to normal operation when the ignition key is turned OFF.

Contact your vehicle dealer to find out if you have the ignition lockout option connected and which version is

active in your vehicle.

2.1.2 LED’S

White (monotone) LEDs are a popular option providing lighting beneath the awning. Factory installed LEDs

are located on the leading edge (roller tube or lead rail) or can be mounted at the awning rail when present.

The BT12 Control System provides controls to allow you to set the lights to match your preference with

ON/OFF and dimming controls through the app and/or the BT Remote.

To operate the White LED lights, you must have the awning lights power switch ON.

NOTE: Some OEMS may furnish their own switch that may appear differently than

the switch pictured or may have the LED’s operated through a multiplexing control

center.

The factory default for the lights is full bright. When the light is adjusted with the BT

Remote or the app, the system will remember the setting for the next time the

lights are turned on.

3.2.3 PAIR ABT REMOTE TO YOUR AWNING

1. Ensure the physical power switch is turned ON prior to pairing your BT Remote, and that you are

attempting to pair within the 5 minute open pairing window.

2. Position your BT Remote as close to the BT Control Module as possible.

3. It may take several seconds for the device to pair, but you can verify that pairing was successful by

pressing the extend button on the remote. The awning should extend following the command.

You can verify the pairing by opening the Carefree Connects Mobile App and navigating to the

Peripherals page. The remote will be listed under “Device Status” (refer to page 13).

4. Once paired, the awning will remember the BT Remote for future use.

Battery replacement is covered in the owner’s manual for your awning equipped with the BT12 Wireless

Awning Control System. Owner’s manuals are available at www.carefreeofcolorado.com.

3.2.4 PAIR ABT MOTION SENSOR TO YOUR AWNING

NOTES:

Only 1 active motion sensor can be paired to the BT12 Control Module.

Depending on the awning type, the BT Motion Sensor may or may not be visible on the outside of the

product. You can use the mobile app to easily identify if you have the BT Motion Sensor. If the motion

sensitivity slider on the settings page is not grayed out, then you have the BT Motion Sensor.

Location of the motion sensor is shown in the owner’s manual for your awning equipped with the BT12

Wireless Awning Control System. Owner’s manuals are available at www.carefreeofcolorado.com.

1. If not previously done, remove the motion sensor from the mounting bracket.

2. Turn the power switch to ON and extend the awning using the switches.

3. Place the awning in pairing mode (refer to page 4).

4. Remove the battery pull tab from the motion sensor.

5. Hold the motion sensor next to the control module for 2-3 seconds. The module should be paired.

6. To test, hold the sensor vertically with the Carefree logo upright, repeatedly move the sensor vertically

up and down to simulate a brisk wind. The awning should retract.

You can verify the pairing by opening the Carefree Connects Mobile App and navigating to the

Peripherals page. The motion sensor will be listed under “Device Status” (refer to page 13).

7. Snap the module in the sensor bracket.

Battery replacement is covered in the owner’s manual for your awning equipped with the BT12 Wireless

Awning Control System. Owner’s manuals are available at www.carefreeofcolorado.com.
