Direct Response w/ DKS Style Switch Panel
When 110VAC power is removed from the system, the controller
DOES NOT
retain previous positioning
information. When power is restored, positioning information is updated when the first function is initiated.
The function LEDs (extend, retract and stop) perform a dual function. When the button is pressed, the LED
illuminates. The LED stays illuminated during the selected operation and after the awning has fully extended or
retracted. This provides an indicator of the awning position. When the stop button is pressed, the LED will
illuminate and stay on until a function is pressed. If on, it indicates that the awning is partially extended/retracted.
All function buttons are press ON/press OFF. The auto-functions will continue until the awning is fully
extended/retracted or when the stop button is pressed.
