The system is active when the awning power is on and disabled when the power
is shut off. To turn on the system, press the power button ON at the master
panel.
The
Direct Response
system detects awning motion caused by windy conditions.
The motion sensor is located in the lead rail. The system operates by gauging
the vertical motion of the awning’s leading edge. When persistent motion
exceeds the factory preset threshold, the system retracts the awning to the slide-
out position. The control panel provides 4 factory preset sensitivity values
(threshold values). You may have to experiment to find the best setting for your
preferences.
Low
The lower the selection, less motion is
required before the system closes
automatically.
High
The higher the selection, more motion is
required before the system closes
automatically.
The auto-retract system functions in two stages. The first stage is described above and
applies when the awning is extended past the slide-out position. The awning will retract
and stop at the slide-out cover position to provide continued protection for the slide-out
room.
When in the slide-out cover position, the awning is very robust. The auto-retract system
is active but uses a higher factory preset threshold value for extreme weather
conditions. When the motion of the awning exceeds the extreme weather threshold,
the awning will close to the full retract position. The second stage sensitivity (threshold)
value is not controlled by the keypad settings.
NOTE:
If the Indicator LED flashes (slow pulse), this indicates that the motion
sensor(s) has been disengaged or otherwise disabled; the affected awning(s) are not
protected by the auto-retract function. The awning must be retracted using the
command buttons. Immediately contact a Carefree service center for service.
