The motor limit switches are preset at the factory for best operation of the awning. The “
OUT
” limit switch is
used to stop the motor when the awning is fully extended. The “
IN
” limit switch is used to stop the motor
when the awning is fully retracted. The “
IN
” limit is
NOT USED
when the
Direct Response
system is installed.
OUT Limit Switch
The “OUT” limit switch stops the motor when the awning is fully extended.
1. Extend the awning out completely.
2. Confirm that the arms are fully extended. The motor should stop and the fabric should be tight. If the
motor continues to run, the fabric will sag; or, if the motor quits before the arms are fully extended, it will
be necessary to adjust the “
OUT
” limit switch.
NOTE:
It is best to make the adjustments in increments of a single turn. 3 full turns of the screw
equals approximately 2” of fabric extension.
3. If the fabric sags:
3.1. Retract the awning until the fabric is tight then retract an addition 10"-12".
3.2. Using a 4mm Allen wrench turn the “
OUT
” limit switch to reduce the time the motor runs.
3.3. Extend to confirm that the adjustment is correct.
3.4. Repeat the procedure until the awning extends correctly.
4. If the arms do not extend completely:
4.1. Retract the awning approximately 10"-12".
4.2. Using a 4mm Allen wrench turn the “
OUT
” limit switch to increase the time the motor runs.
4.3. Extend to confirm that the adjustment is correct.
4.4. Repeat the procedure until the awning extends correctly.

configuration is installed in the awning. Use the illustrations
to determine the correct turning direction for adjustments.
The limit switches are located inside the case, near the end cap.
To access the switches, extend the awning.
