Lippert Stargazer Nano Long Skylight

Introduction

The Stargazer Nano Long Skylight is designed to be installed on a unit's roof to provide ventilation and allow sunlight while maintaining privacy. The inner screen frame offers options for different ventilation types and includes protection against pests. The inner screen assembly combines a flyscreen and a shade that can be manually adjusted across the skylight opening using two distinct profiles. An integrated spring shaft ensures the fabric is permanently tensioned for optimal hold.

The Stargazer Nano Long Skylight is positioned front-to-rear or North-to-South on the unit and is intended for a curved interior roof. For assembly or component information, visit: https://support.lci1.com/skylights.

• Appropriate drill bits
• Caulk gun
• Gunnable self-leveling Lap sealant
• Closed cell foam tape or butyl tape
• Scissors or cutting tool

Prior to Installation

Verify the rough opening matches the size indicated on the Stargazer Nano Long Skylight label. Ensure the opening has proper framework support (aluminum, steel tubing, or lumber).

1. Remove all packing material and tape before installation.
2. Clean the back surface of the outer frame's outside flange (See Figure 1A).
3. Install the OEM-provided inner seal along the back inside perimeter (See Figure 2A - red line) of the outer frame surface. This ensures a tight seal when the window is installed in the roof.

Installation

Skylight Roof Installation

1. Place the skylight window assembly into the unit's rough opening, centering it side-to-side with the hinge pins (See Figure 3A) facing the front of the unit.
2. Install #8 x 1" pan quad T-2 self-drilling screws with 5/8" neo-bond washers (See Figure 4A) into each pre-drilled hole (See Figure 4B) along the perimeter of the Stargazer Nano Long Skylight outer frame.
3. Apply gunnable self-leveling sealant over each screw head (See Figure 5A - green area).
4. Apply gunnable self-leveling sealant around the perimeter where the skylight frame meets the roof (See Figure 6A - green area).

Skylight Inner Screen Ceiling Frame

1. Insert the ceiling trim piece (See Figure 7A) into the skylight housing (See Figure 7B), ensuring the trim's flange (See Figure 7A) is flush with the ceiling (See Figure 7C).
2. Position the screen frame (See Figure 8A) centered over the trim in the ceiling.
3. Install six #8 x 3/4" pan head screws (See Figure 9C) through the screen frame's pre-drilled holes (See Figure 9B), through the ceiling trim, and into the ceiling.
4. Install six screw caps (See Figures 9D, 10A) over the screw holes in the screen frame.

Operation

WARNING: All windows must be fully closed prior to travel. Failure to do so could result in product and/or property damage.

Skylight Open Position

Note: Do not rapidly slide the screen frame profiles, as this may damage the screen frame or the unit's ceiling.

4. Push up on the skylight window's handle (See Figure 14A) to open the skylight window.
5. If desired, slide the inner screens (See Figure 15) forward or back to a comfortable position, or keep them retracted in the screen frame for maximum airflow from the open skylight window (See Figure 16).

Skylight Closed Position

WARNING: All windows must be fully closed prior to travel. Failure to do so could result in product and/or property damage.

Note: Do not rapidly slide the screen frame profiles, as this may damage the screen frame or the unit's ceiling.
