Ferrari 458 Italia

Roof Mounted Monitor

The Ferrari 458 Italia is an expression of the most advanced concept of sportsmanship, represents the latest eight-cylinder supercar and it is the complete essence of what a Ferrari should be: power, extreme technology, pure driving pleasure. The 458 Italia affirms a new philosophy: lighter, faster, yet more environmentally friendly. Created to be even more extreme than the successful F430, the Italia does not sacrifice the driving pleasure in traffic or at low speed. The 458 Italia is built using the most advanced engine, chassis and aerodynamics technology ever developed by Ferrari, a feature that is partly due to working closely with the F1 Team in order to combine exceptional performance with reduced consumption and emissions. The new 4,499 cc V8 engine is a veritable powerhouse, punching out 570 hp. Equipped with the 7-speed F1 dual-clutch gearbox, the 458 can sprint from 0 to 60mph in under 3.4 seconds reaching a maximum speed of over 202 mph. Ferrari Silicon Valley is currently accepting interest list applications for the 458 Italia.

Ferrari California

The Ferrari California is a bold addition to the Ferrari range: an eight-cylinder model with a grand touring remit. The Ferrari California is a model whose charm, exclusivity and performance can attract the interest of those who have not yet approached Ferrari and are interested in a "grand touring" type of vehicle. It is a very different sort of Ferrari: a more sensual Gran Tourer with a folding hard-top roof that promises everyday ease-of-use. The Ferrari California is powered by a new 4,300 cc V8 engine, mounted for the first time in the marquee's history in the mid-front position, and sprint from 0 to 60 mph in less than 4.0 seconds. Paired with the 7-speed dual clutch, the car's performance delivers a superior driving experience, improves ride comfort and reduces fuel consumption and emissions. The F1-Trac traction control system in the Ferrari California made its debut on the 599 GTB Fiorano. Brembo brakes in carbon-ceramic material disks provide the Ferrari California with superbly efficient braking performances.

New three-layer colors and bi-color solutions for the exterior and new leathers as well as fabric for the interiors are some of the latest personalization options now available for the Ferrari California. In 2010 the HELE system was introduced in the Ferrari California. HELE stands for High Emotion Low Emissions and is a system designed to reduce C02 emissions without taking away from the joy of driving a Ferrari.

Following are some of the most important technical measures of HELE System that allow a 23 percent reduction in CO2 emissions. The start/stop function that can restart the car in low as 230 milliseconds, a displacement air-conditioning technology electronically controlled an intelligent engine fan and fuel pump control and adaptive gear shifts.

Ferrari 599 GTO:

The 599 GTO is a blend of some of Ferrari's top technology from Formula One and road cars and occupies a niche between the 599 GTB & 599 XX. More menacing and less refined than a GTB, less raucous than an XX. This car is the best expression of a sports car Ferrari has ever made. A 6.0 liter, V12 engine that produces 670 hp at 8500 rpm and 457 lb-ft torque at 6,500 rpm and capable of impressive acceleration numbers to the tune of 0 to 62 mph in just 3.35 seconds. The engine is paired with an F1 six-speed gearbox, which has the same 60-millisecond shift times as the 599XX. The car has a curb weight of only 3,538 lbs. Only 599 cars will be produced and there are several custom colors and two-tone paint finishes exclusively for this GTO model. Designed by Pininfarina, the front, side and rear are bolder and more aggressive than its parent. Inside, a Virtual Race Engineer allows the driver to monitor the status of the car and its performance. Extensive use of carbon fiber is apparent, including in the cockpit where it is used both to reduce weight and as a design element. Ferrari's dedication to the GTO model is legendary, with two previous highly revered models. The three iconic letters, which stand for Gran Turismo Omologato, summon the spirit of the original 1962 250 GTO, the 288 GTO which helped spawn the modern supercar era and the F40, the fastest street legal production car from 1987 to 1989 and the most expensive model at that time. The 250 GTO won no fewer than three consecutive World Sportscar Championships and it is today the most sought-after collector's car on the market.

Installing a Solar Panel Aboard Your Boat

Following a recent five-day trip aboard our trawler where we had to frequently start up the genset to provide electricity to the 115 volt AC freezer to maintain temperatures, I began to mull over options. We put in an excess of ninety hours on the vessel generator in only five days; time for another oil change! I put in an inverter soon thereafter and that improved the run time for the generator drastically, but there was still work to be completed. I nonetheless needed to keep the batteries fully charged to operate the inverter. Then it occurred to me, why not explore solar panels for use aboard our yacht. Solar panels have been successfully utilized since the mid 1950s, originally utilized in manned space exploration. They have been dropping in cost since roughly 2004 when their popularity really went up. And now with the Green pressure going on, solar panels are as accepted as ever. So I commenced to delve into them and find out how to purchase and mount one; I was in for a big surprise. You can come across many retail vendors over the internet that will sell you a solar panel but nowhere could I locate a detailed description of how to determine what to buy and how to install it; much less on board a yacht. So this piece was written as I made my way through the progression; therefore is a truly a learn-as-you-go article.

What Exactly is a Solar Panel and How Do They Work?

Roof Mounted Monitor

Solar panels are basically any panel that makes use of the sun's thermal energy to create electricity. A solar panel can be described as a photovoltaic panel, the name used in the business, for panels intended to create electrical energy from the emission of the sun. Despite the group of solar panel being discussed, nearly all solar panels are flat. This is because the surface of the panel needs to be at a 90 degree incline from the sun's rays for the best angle to soak up the sun's rays. Solar panels are able to absorb energy from the sun through a collection of solar cells on their surface. Very similar to how a plant is able to take in energy from the sun for photosynthesis, solar cells function in a comparable way. As the sun's rays hit the solar cells on a photovoltaic panel, the energy is transferred to a silicon semiconductor. The power is then changed into (dc) direct current electrical energy and then passed through connecting wires to ultimately enter a storage battery.

Kinds of Solar Panels

Types of panels most normally used in yachting uses have either multicrystalline or amorphous thin-film cells. Multicrystalline panels are the oldest technology obtainable and in addition the strongest. When sized correctly and paired with suitable batteries, these are the panels to make use of for operating large loads such as refrigeration.

Amorphous thin film solar panels are only about 50% as effective as multicrystalline panels, but can be bought in flexible varieties so they can roll or fold, or change to the shape of a boat cabin top or bimini. They don't often have adequate yield for considerable energy replenishment, but can be used to lightly charge a battery bank.

How Much Power Can Solar Cells Make?

Normally, we measure solar panels by wattage and that is how we buy them. You can get solar panels for boats as small as 10 watts to as great as 200 watts or even larger. But it is simpler to understand when we change watts to amperage. We calculate these values by multiplying the number of hours the panel is in full sun (usually defined as 5 a day in Florida) by the panel's wattage. For a 195 watt solar panel the amount produced would be 195 x 5 hrs = 975 watts/day. We can then figure, 975 watts/12 volts = 81.25 amps per day.

Power Consumption

Before considering which size panel to purchase for your boat, you will need to complete an energy budget to ascertain what sources of power consumption you have aboard while at anchor. I use the at anchor scenario as this is the place you will use the most energy; under power and your trawler can supply its needs without any issues.

Example, if you have 3 inside lights that pull 2 amps each and you keep them on for 4 hours per night, your consumption would be 3 x 2 x 4 = 24 AH/Day. We are not concerned by running lights and electronics as they will not likely be running while at anchor.

DC Loads - calculate how many amps hours are used by each appliance

House Lighting
Anchor lights
Refrigeration
Freezer
Electric Toilet
Fresh Water Pump
Sanitation System
Stereo
Other

Inverter Loads

Inverter loads also make use of DC power but they are powering AC appliances and equipment. If you want to change watts to amps use (12watts/12 volts = 1amp).

Calculate the amp hours used by each appliance

Computer
Microwave
Refrigeration
Freezer
Heater
Hair Dryer
Television
Other

Add up your overall daily energy use AH/per day

Solar Energy Creation

Different sources of power similar to solar panels can replace the amp/hrs pulled from the batteries. But similar to the power budget that determined your usage you will also need to compute your re-supply of amp hours. Keep in mind the formula - (12 watts/12 volts = 1 amp). But be mindful, the formula is only a gauge; complete accuracy can only be where the panel production is constant and a solar panel might at times function ineffectually due to cloudy skies. Compare the day by day power use in AH/Day to the solar power creation. Your solar energy production must be larger than the use. If it is not, pick a bigger wattage panel and recalculate. Always purchase more solar panel output than you think you will need; some professionals recommend at least 30% in excess.

Case in point - 100 watt solar panel/ 12 volts = 8.3 amp x 5 hours = 41.66 AH/Day production

Installing Your Solar Panel

Now that you have got your solar panel, where do you put it on board your yacht? As we mentioned before, installing the panel ninety degrees to the sun is best. You will get the best power production this way. But on yachts, finding a fitting spot is tricky at best. A number of boaters put them on brackets placed on the rails, others position them on top of the bimini, and I have seen them positioned on the trawler dingy stanchions. But wherever you decide to mount them, bear in mind that to get the most out of them they ought to be in the open, away from any shading from booms, vessel radar arches, or cabin structures. Bear in mind that while at anchor, the boat will turn to the sun twice daily because of the tides. I opted to mount our panel on the top of the boat back deck hardtop in a horizontal position. Here it will get the greatest view of the sun and be clear from the radar arch shade as the boat swings at anchor. The slope toward the sun is not precisely at ninety degrees but it will have to do. I selected a 195 watt panel so I get almost a 50% reserve ability in my panel to compensate for the small inefficiency of the sun's angle. We got the panel from Sun Electronics in Miami, sunelec.com as they had the best prices I could find anywhere on the web. But bear in mind, panels must be shipped using freight as they are heavily packed to reduce the chance of damage so be sure to calculate those expenses in your acquisition.

What is the best way to attach the panel to your vessel?

There are a variety of manufacturers of solar panel mounting rails and supports but almost all of them are made for roof or ground mounting. West Marine does carry a product for mounting small panels to the rails. A good number of boaters make their own mounts. I found a mount developed by Sunsei known as a Sunsei Glue Mounting Kit that is attached to the vessel and panel using 3M 5200 Marine Adhesive. The mount allows the panel to be installed with about 2 inches of space beneath the panel for aeration. I did not need to drill any holes in the hardtop either. You can locate these mounts at amazon.com.

Wiring Your Panel

Marine electrical wiring is incredibly specialized and hazardous; if you are not comfortable in performing this part of the task, please check with an experienced marine electrician. Your panel will be prewired for attaching to your vessel but you will need to provide the connecting cables that will also be sold by your panel provider; they are known as MC4 cables. The cables will be made in different lengths appropriate for your needs with a male and female connector affixed; you cut one connector off.

In addition, you will also require a controller. The controller regulates the power stream from the panel to your batteries keeping your batteries charged yet stopping over charging. A number of controllers are easy but others have LED displays indicating the amount of charge etc. The more fancy features the more costly it will be. Your panel dealer will be able to suggest a controller that will satisfy your needs. I chose a controller developed by Specialty Concepts. It is straightforward but does the job. And the people at the company are a big help in aiding you to select the best model for your panel. When you get in touch with them, they will want to understand which size panel (wattage) you own and what the voltage is. Check them out at specialtyconcepts.com. I also got my controller from the individuals at Sun Electronics in Miami.

The individuals at Specialty Concepts have also calculated how heat will have an effect on current flow and suggest that their controllers not be placed in engine rooms as the heat produced will diminish the controller effectiveness by roughly 25%. I put mine in the electrical panel under the lower helm. And finally, you will require the correctly sized cables to go from the controller to your batteries and a fuse to connect the controller to the battery bank. In deciding on the correct fuse, you need to locate the short circuit current for your panel and rate the breaker at 125% of that number. This will give you the amperage of the breaker you will need. Your controller operating manual will have information on these too.

Owning a solar panel to preserve your batteries would seem like a great plan but you'll want to have a way to keep an eye on your batteries. I opted to also install a Trimetric 2025RV Battery Monitor; bogartengineering.com. This smart device is wired into your battery bank to provide a genuine measurement of voltage going in to the bank, amps being used by your yacht, the percent full charge on the bank, and the amp hours utilized from the last charge.

Panel Functionality

So we have now installed a 195 watt solar panel in addition to an 1800 watt inverter and a battery bank with 443 amp hours. We ran our tests this week on the hook with clear skies. I concluded that our energy consumption is 112.5 amp hours per day. The freezer is the major draw using 60 of the amp hours followed by the refrigerator. Did you know that a standard anchor light pulls 18 amp hours each night? I think I'll check out LED bulbs now.

The battery monitor indicated that our actual draw from the battery bank was merely 65 amp hours which indicates we received the remaining from the sunlight, an entire 42% was from the sun. Now we will turn on the genset for around an hour to bring the battery bank up to complete charge.

NFPA 70E And Its Impact On Thermographers

There continues to be a great deal of activity surrounding the update to NFPA 70E scheduled to be published in October 2008. For the proposed 2008 edition of NFPA 70, National Electrical Code® (NEC®), the Technical Correlating Committee (TCC) received 3,668 proposals and 3,206 comments during the revision cycle. For those of us involved in working with energized electrical circuits the outcome of the new standards will likely impact how we do our job. The goal is to increase safety through well thought through practices.

Roof Mounted Monitor

How are Thermographers Addressing the Issue?

Roof Mounted Monitor

Increasing the distance at which inspections of open cabinets are performed.

Most cameras offer telephoto lens that enable the thermographer to stand 2 to 3 times further away from the energized components while maintaining the same resolution. In addition newer high definition cameras will provide the same performance as 320x240 array based cameras at twice the normal standoff.

New Language Being Drafted by NFPA and ASTM

ASTM E-1934

New language is being proposed in the next version of ASTM E-1934, Standard of Examining Electrical Power Distribution Equipment with Infrared Technology. 7.5 - As an alternative, consideration may be given to conducting the examination through "windows" that are transparent to detected infrared radiation or to "ports." Safety procedures should be modified to accommodate this task. Care must be taken to insure that all equipment can be seen and special lenses may be required.

Did You Know?

Incident energy from an arc flash created with vertical, unterminated conductors in a cabinet (20" x 20" x 20") decreases by the inverse of the distance to the 1.5 power. If the arc has horizontal conductors that point out of the cabinet opening or vertical which terminate into an insulated barrier, the exposure may decrease by a lower exponent, but not enough data has been collected on these conductor configurations. - Tom Neal of Neal Associates

Next Revision of NFPA 70E

The following new language has been submitted to, and is being considered, by the 70E committee: "When access to conduct such inspections of energized equipment is limited by the appropriate use of special windows or small access ports, rather than by gaining access though opening the enclosure door, the limit of the approach, and the required PPE, will be the same as if the enclosure door were left unopened."

Increased diligence of OSHA

Although it is only referenced in OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910 Subpart S, Appendix A, NFPA 70E is considered by OSHA to be the recognized industry practice for electrical safety.

Role of NFPA

OSHA standards don't provide details on how to conduct an electrical hazard assessment or how to select PPE. For guidance on compliance, you need to look to national consensus standards. NFPA is one of the foremost consensus standards for electrical safety. It covers employee protection from the electrical hazards of shock, arc flash and arc blasts.

NFPA Compliance Part I - Installation Safety Requirements

Covers safety requirements for the design and installation of electric conductors and equipment. Essential to the proper use of Part I of this standard is the understanding that it is not intended to be applied as a design, installation, modification, or construction standard for an electrical installation or system. Its content has been intentionally limited in comparison to the content of the NEC in order to apply to an electrical installation or system as part of an employee's workplace. This standard is compatible with corresponding provisions of the NEC, but is not intended to, nor can it, be used in lieu of the NEC.

Part 2 - Safety Related Work Practices

Covers electrical safety related work practices and procedures for employees who work on or near exposed energized electrical conductors or circuit parts. Electrical hazard includes arc flash. Relevant requirements include:

Power must be proven to be off before performing work. This includes: The safe interruption of the load and opening of the disconnect Visual verification/voltage testing to ensure deenergization

Covers practical safety-related maintenance requirements for electrical equipment and installations in workplaces.

Part 4 - Safety Requirements for Special Equipment

Covers electrical safety installation requirements and safety-related work practices and procedures for employees who work on or near special electrical equipment such as electrolytic cells.

Preventing Arc Flash Incidents

Step 1. Perform Hazard Assessment and Create Warning Labels

The label is the first step. However, determining the arc-flash levels may change as routine maintenance and repair is performed. The level of arc-flash hazard of any piece of equipment depends on the level of arc-fault current and the time it takes to trip the nearest upstream over current protection device. In most cases, a local utility engineer can determine the fault current levels; however these fault current values may be based on the impedance of the transformer that serves the facility, and additional impedances upstream of the transformer can lower the number. If these additional impedances are not included in the calculations, then the incident energy levels may be under-estimated. Short-circuit current levels in electric utility systems are continuously changing as both electricians and maintenance workers replace over current devices, fuses and panel boards or upgrades are made to the system. Any of theses changes can have an effect on the arc-flash energy level, but may not be noted on the warning label.

Step 2. Provide Protective Clothing

The next step is to ensure that anyone working on equipment that might generate arc flash wear protective clothing, including fire retardant suits, gloves, face shield/goggles and other gear as provided by the standards.

Step 3. Equipment That Limits Exposure

Although no single piece of equipment can completely eliminate arc flash hazards, making it convenient to perform most routine maintenance tasks without directly accessing the equipment can significantly reduce the risk. Providing external plug-ins to equipment inside an enclosure is one approach. Properly designed and insulated panels that are wired to the appropriate equipment inside allows operators to change settings and monitor performance without opening the enclosure. With a traditional disconnect switch inside the main enclosure, live power is still present on the line side of the disconnect switch. Since live power is still being fed upstream to the disconnect switch on the panel, the threat of an arc flash incident remains. Another approach is to develop arc-resistant electrical cabinets designed to contain the arc energy and direct it away from personnel- - they cannot prevent an arc flash. "Arc-resistant" describes equipment designed to control arc flash exposure by extinguishing the arc, by controlling the spread of the arc or by channeling the arc pressure wave away from personnel. Arc-resistant designs represent enhanced safety technology and, therefore, an enhanced level of safety." The design redirects arc flash energy out relief vents at the top of the unit and away from personnel through an overhead plenum. These products have been successfully tested in accordance with ANSI C37.20.7: IEEE Guide for Testing Medium-Voltage Metal- Enclosed Switchgear for Internal Arcing Faults. During testing, cotton squares (similar to 4.5 oz/yard untreated T-shirt material) are mounted a meter from the MCC. Acceptance criteria require that none of the cotton indicators ignite during or following a test. To redirect the arc exhaust gases, specialized silicone coated, aluminum pressure relief vents on the unit's roof open to release the pressure. A plenum system above the enclosure channels the superheated gas and vaporized copper and steel to a safe and controlled location.

Standards Organizations and Arc Flash Protection

To protect operators, OSHA and NFPA 70E standards require a "flash protection boundary." OSHA has adopted the National Fire Protection Association's "70E Standards for Electric Safety in the Workplace" as an acceptable means of compliance to meet this requirement. Section 1910.333 of Subpart S states: "Safety-related work practices shall be employed to prevent electrical shock or other injuries resulting from either direct or indirect electrical contacts". Therefore companies should take great lengths to ensure that electrical workers are safe from arc-flash dangers.

Organizations Involved In This Work

NFPA - The National Fire Protection Agency

The mission of the international nonprofit NFPA is to reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by providing and advocating consensus codes and standards, research, training, and education. NFPA membership totals more than 81,000 individuals from around the world and more than 80 national trade and professional organizations. Established in 1896, NFPA serves as the world's leading advocate of fire prevention and is an authoritative source on public safety. In fact, NFPA's 300 codes and standards influence every building, process, service, design, and installation in the United States, as well as many of those used in other countries. NFPA's focus on true consensus has helped the association's code-development process earn accreditation from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

OSHA - Occupational Safety & Health Administration

OSHA's mission is to send every worker home whole and healthy every day. Since the agency was established in 1971, workplace fatalities have been cut by 62 percent and occupational injury and illness rates have declined 40 percent. At the same time, U.S. employment has nearly doubled from 56 million workers at 3.5 million worksites to 115 million workers at nearly 7 million sites.

ASTM

ASTM International (Originally known as the American Society for Testing and Materials) is one of the largest voluntary standards development organizations in the world-a trusted source for technical standards for materials, products, systems, and services. Known for their high technical quality and market relevancy, ASTM International standards have an important role in the information infrastructure that guides design, manufacturing and trade in the global economy.

IEEE - IEEE Electrical Safety

A predominant area of standards activity within the IEEE-SA addresses technology and related safety needs for the power and energy industry and subsequent industry applications. A key component to electrical safety is for those working with electrical current and within environments using electrical current to be abreast of standards and regulations that include safety best practices. It is critical for employees to familiarize themselves with these documents and the organizations responsible for developing them. The IEEE, namely via its Color Books Standards for Industrial and Commercial Power Systems and the National Electrical Safety Code, as well as its Power Engineering standards, is a major developer of standards that directly or indirectly address electrical safety within specific applications or environments.

Quick Guide to Retractable Awnings

Awning manufacturers have a shorthand jargon that succinctly describes their awnings' characteristics, quality, function, even style. Knowledge is the key to having an efficient (and enjoyable) online shopping experience for retractable awnings. These simplified common terms can help you know in advance what you're looking at, so you know how to find what you want.

Roof Mounted Monitor

Terms: Parts

Roof Mounted Monitor

A lateral arm retractable awning is an awning which can be rolled up and closed; unlike fixed awnings and canopies, a retractable awning has no support posts. A retractable awning has an intrinsically simple design:

o Frame - the skeleton of the awning; the frame is comprised of the mounting bar, arms, and roller tube.
o Mounting bar - the base of the retractable awning which is mounted in place; when the awning is retracted, the awning fabric rolls around the roller tube attached to the mounting bar.
o Arms - the part of the frame which folds closed at the elbow when the awning is retracted (rolls in) and opens when the awning is extended (rolls out).
o Shoulder - the joints on the retractable awning arms where arms attach to the mounting bar.
o Front bar - the extrusion at the very front of the awning frame.
o Hood - a cover which fits over the retractable awning frame and fabric; when the awning is fully retracted, the hood protects the exposed fabric, frame, and motor from the elements.
o Valance - a strip of fabric, usually a few inches high, which hangs from the front bar of the retractable awning.
o Rib - the cross bars of the frame which support the awning fabric. Not every awning style has ribs, since ribs are often used to create a shape to the awning frame; for example, lateral arm retractable awnings don't have any ribs.
o Canopy - an elongated, dome, or waterfall style retractable awning

There are dozens of styles of retractable awnings, determined mainly by the frame shape:

o Lateral arm awning - the most common, and oldest, retractable awning style, consisting simply of two or more arms, the front bar, mounting bar and the fabric. This is the most popular style for homes and commercial buildings; this is also the most scalable style, extending (projecting) as far as 17 feet without external supports.
o Dome - an awning with curved ribs, which forms a rounded shape when fully extended; these tend to have a significantly shorter extension (projection) than lateral arm awnings, extending only about five feet out maximum from the mount point. An elongated dome can have a longer projection than a standard dome style, almost double. Dome awnings are common for commercial properties and for window and door awnings.
o Drop screen - a kind of retractable awning which is mounted vertically so it extends downward. This style of awning has the mounting bar and fabric, but no arms since it simply "drops" down. This is mainly used to screen patios, gazebos, and other outdoor areas from glare, heat, rain, UV rays, direct sun, mosquitoes, and pollen.

There are also dozens of different accessories for retractable awnings which make them easier to operate. A couple of common ones:

o Anemometer - a device which monitors wind speed; this is used with wind sensors.
o Sensors - devices which monitor different atmospheric conditions and trigger the motor to retract or extend the awning accordingly; there are four major kinds of sensors, including sun (light) sensors, wind sensors, rain sensors, and motion sensors (which monitor movements, such as wind gusts)
o Motor - a device which automatically moves the awning; motors are enclosed in the roller tube.

Terms: Materials

The retractable awning materials are the true indicator of quality - because the kind of materials used translates into quality, not the expense of the materials. For the fabric, there are two major categories of fabrics:

o Canvas - a natural fiber (cotton) woven fabric; canvas awnings are prone to fade, mildew, and rot.
o Solution-dyed acrylic - a man-made fiber which is woven into a lightweight, breathable fabric; because it is a chemical polymer, the fabric cannot rot. Solution-dyed means that the pigments are included in the fiber solution, which makes the fabric highly fade resistant.

For the frame, the important materials are the body and joints:

o Electrostatically powder-coated aluminum - a metal frame which is lightweight, durable, and rust-resistant; powder-coating is a method of applying pigment to aluminum frames which is extremely difficult to flake off or damage, unlike enamel or paint.
o PVC - a hard polymer also used to make plumbing pipes; this tends to be brittle.
o Kevlar® - the polymer used to make bulletproof vests; Kevlar® straps in the arms instead of cables are extremely strong and durable and can't rust.
o Cables - braided metal strands which are used in the arms; these are usually steel, which rusts, leading the cables to discolor the fabric and eventually break. Cables cannot be replaced because they are internal to the arm and inaccessible.

Terms: Installation

Understanding a few terms about the positioning and installation of the awning can help determine the appropriate size and installation location for your awning:

o Mount - what way or location the awning is affixed to the home or building, such as a wall mount, eave mount, soffit, or roof mount.
o Pitch - the angle that the awning comes down from the mount point to the front bar. Some lateral arm retractable awnings have an adjustable pitch.
o Projection - how far out from the wall the awning can extend.
o Load - the stress put on the awning, from wind, snow, even the weight of the awning itself (dead load). Good quality retractable awnings can sustain wind speeds up to approximately 35mph
o Pooling - water buildup on the canopy which can cause the fabric to sag and stretch.
