ENSOR
The BT Motion sensor detects awning motion caused by windy conditions. The
sensor is located inside the lead rail on the LH (motor) side.
The system operates by gauging the motion of the awning's front edge (roller tube).
When the motion exceeds the factory preset threshold the system retracts the awning.
The factory default is “3” on a scale from 1 to 5; 5 being the most sensitive. When using
the mobile app, the sensitivity can be adjusted for personal preference.
NOTICE
The Carefree auto retract system is a premier electronic auto-
retract system that provides protection against adverse elements; but no auto-
retract system is a guarantee against severe or destructive weather; the effects
of wind and rain on an awning are unpredictable and may cause severe damage
to the awning and/or vehicle. If wind or extended periods of rain are expected,
roll up the awning.
NOTE:
The auto-retract system is ON when the power switch is ON. The system is
OFF when the power switch is set to OFF. If the power is shut off with the power switch
while the awning is extended, the awning is not protected by the auto-retract system.
If the motion sensor batteries are low, the awning will beep every 30 seconds
(when the power switch is ON) and the awning will partially retract. This will
continue until the batteries are replaced. The awning will operate normally after
the batteries are replaced.
