ENSOR
The optional BT Motion sensor detects awning motion caused by windy
conditions. The sensor is located inside the motor head.
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.
Battery Replacement
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.
The motion sensor uses two (2) 675 batteries. Batteries are available at local
battery outlets.
1. Open the awning to access the screws in the rear cover.
2. Remove the six (6) small screws and front cover and set aside.
3. Pull the thumb tab of the bracket away from the module and lift the module
out of the bracket. It is not necessary to remove the mounting bracket.
4. Remove the two screws and the rear cover.
5. Replace the two batteries. Match the new battery orientation with the old batteries.
6. Replace the cover and screws.
7. Snap the module into the mounting bracket. The module will only fit one
way in the bracket.
8. Install the front cover with the screws removed previously.
