ADJUSTING MOTOR LIMIT SWITCHES
(CONTINUEd)
Procedure
After a motor has been replaced, the limit switches which control the awning’s inward
and outward stopping points must be reset. The IN switch must be set so that the
awning motor stops at the
exact
moment the awning box closes. Likewise, the OUT
limit must be set to stop at the
exact
moment that, while opening, the arms lock into
position. With a new motor the limit switches are set at mid-point; the awning will stop
with the OUT limit at approximately half-extension, and the IN limit will be set
past
where the awning should normally close.
For a right-hand motor installation (standard), the OUT limit switch is the outermost
hole, and the IN limit switch is the innermost hole. For a left-hand installation, these
switch locations (holes) are opposite (reversed). See diagram on page 13 for reference.
Setting OUT (extend) limits
1.
Extend the awning until the motor stops.
2.
Locate the motor limit switches mounted inside the silver casing at the exposed
end of the motor. Beside each switch is a directional arrow with a plus (+) and a
minus (-) sign. The actual limit switch is the recessed hole next to the
corresponding arrow.
Setting IN (retract) limits
1.
Place the awning in the IN position and allow the awning to roll up to about 6" of
being fully closed. Place the switch in the STOP position.
2.
Locate the IN limit switch. Turn the switch in the (-) direction about twenty
(20) turns.
3.
Place awning switch in the OUT position and open the awning a few inches.
4.
Reverse the switch direction to close the awning. (This is to ensure that the IN
limit switch stops the awning
before
the awning is completely closed. If not,
continue adjusting the IN limit switch in the (-) direction until the awning stops
before
it is closed.)
5.
Once it is correctly adjusted, place the awning switch in the IN position and turn
the IN limit switch in the (+) direction. The awning will “follow” as you turn the
switch. Continue until the awning box is approximately 3" from closing.
6.
The final adjustment requires estimating the amount of awning closure per
