Wind speed testing mode.

Real time wind speed is detected for example, if 1.0 is displayed, then the actual current wind speed is 10km/h

Light intensity testing mode.

Real time testing of light intensity, for example, if 10 is displayed, then the actual lux level is 10,000.
(see note below for extra information)

1. Protection from strong winds.

Note:

In light intensity testing mode, the display shows the light intensity from 1,000 to 100,000 lux. Below 1,000 lux it will show 00 and

above 100,000 it will show 99. All other readings are simply multiplied x 1,000. Unit will time out after 3 minutes if untouched in that time.

2. Control by light sensing.

Press LEFT button 4 times.

The dot in the middle is always on.
Check display for wind speed reading.

Press the RIGHT button to bring
the unit out of testing mode.

Press RIGHT button 4 times.

The dot in the corner is always on.
Check display for light intensity reading.

Press the LEFT button to bring
the unit out of testing mode.

As long as the wind speed is higher than the set
limit, it’s not possible to open the awning by
any method. The remote commands and sun
sensing both become invalid.

If the wind speed falls below the set level
for 30 continuous seconds, normal
operation will resume.

If the wind speed exceeds the set limit for
longer than 6 seconds, an order will be issued
for the motor to close the awning.

If the light intensity setting is exceeded for
10 minutes, the motor will be told to open
an awning or drop a blind.

If the light intensity drops below the set level
for 10 minutes, the motor will be told to close
the awning or raise a blind.
