Vibration Sensor
No direct correlation exists between the sensitivity settings on this sensor and true wind speed. The vibration sensor will
close the awning any time the motion in the attached hardware arm reaches the pre-set level regardless of the cause of
this motion . Wind speed, angle of attack, and the size of the awning are only a few factors that can affect how an awning
reacts to environmental conditions .
Refer to "B . Adjusting The Vibration Sensor (If Applicable)" on page 7 if the sensor fails to activate or the sensor is too
sensitive .
