IAGNOSTICS
The following procedures are intended to aid the service technician to logically resolve operational issues
with the mechanical and standard electronics installations.
Common Operational Items
The following items are operational items that may come up as questions during normal operation. These
are also given in the operator's manual.
1. The motor has a thermal protection circuit. If the motor overheats, the circuit will shut off the motor.
Wait approximately 15 minutes, operation will return to normal. As an example, this may occur if the
awning is fully closed and retract switch pushed repeatedly, then the awning does not extend.
2. The awning seems to extend and retract slowly. The operational range is 28-35 seconds to extend or
retract. If the power supply is on the low side of the range (10V) the awning will move slower.
3. The awning may appear to move jerkily. When the fabric is rolled out, the Alumaguard or Uniguard
may "bounce" creating a wave like motion in the canopy fabric. This will create the appearance of
moving jerkily.
4. With Uniguard, the awning sticks or hangs up. When Uniguard is installed with a vinyl canopy, the vinyl
will have a tendency to "cling" to the Uniguard when not used over an extended period. Open and
close the awning in short bursts 2 or 3 times, the awning will then open normally.
