SECTION 2 Wind Sensor
2.1 The wind sensor monitors the wind speed and
sends a signal to the control box if wind speeds
exceeds the preset setting. The correct position
of the winds sensor is critical. It shoud be within
3 feet of the right side top mounting bracket and
away from other objects. To check out the wind
sensor, extend the awning and place the wind
sensor switch in the ENABLE (ON) position. You
can create sufficient amount of wind by placing a
standard hair dryer approximately 6 inches away
from the wind sensor with the dryer set on HIGH
and NO HEAT. The awning should close auto-
matically.

SECTION 3 Control Box
The control box is the heart of the system and
contains a fuse, rocker switch, wind sensor toggle
switch & circuit board.
3.1 Circuit Board
The circuit board can be checked out by the pro-
cess of elimination. Make sure there is 12.5 VDC
going into the circuit board.
3.1.1 Disconnect all pig tails coming out of the
control box.
3.1.2 Check for 12.5 VDC (minimum) at T1 (red
+) and T3 (black –) on circuit board.
3.1.3 Check for 12.5 VDC (minimum) on each
leg of fuse. Place the negative lead of the
volt meter on T3 and check each leg of
the fuse with the positive lead. This should
read 12.5 VDC on each leg. Replace if
defective.
3.1.4 Check for voltage at the WeatherPro out-
put pigtail (Red & Black wire). First, press
and hold the rocker switch in the extend
position. Place the negative lead of the
digital volt meter on the Black wire posi-
tion of the pigtail and the positive lead of
the volt meter on the Red wire position of
the pigtail. The meter should read (–)
negative 12.5 VDC (minimum). Do not
move the volt meter leads and press and
hold the rocker switch in the retract posi-
tion. The meter should read (+) positive
12.5 VDC (minimum).
