Appendix A
Changing the Direction of Motor Rotation for the RTS Motor ONLY.
The RTS Motor can be identified by the Black Motor with a Square Case and
Mechanical Stops.
This procedure describes the actions needed to change the direction of Motor
rotation, and should only be performed when installing a Wireless Wind Sensor if the
lower button on your Remote is not the button that opens your Awning.
Review the steps below to familiarize yourself with the procedure before attempting
to complete them.
1. Verify that the red light on the existing Remote Transmitter comes on when you
press a button. If the red light does not come on at all or stays on for less than five
(5) seconds, you will need to replace the battery.
2. Make sure your Awning is retracted against the house (closed).
3. Press the my (middle) button on the Remote Transmitter.
4. Unplug the power cord from the wall.
5. Insert the Crank Wand into the Override Crank on the Motor and manually open the Awning approximately
three (3) feet but do not completely open the Awning.
6. Plug the power cord back into the wall and make sure that there is electricity available. Let the Awning sit
for one minute, undisturbed, without pressing a button on the Remote Transmitter or unplugging the power
cord from the wall.
7. Unplug the power cord from the wall for two (2) seconds.
8. Plug the power cord back in for ten (10) seconds.
9. Unplug the power cord for two (2) seconds.
10. Plug the power cord back in and leave it plugged in.
Note: The Motor may rotate approximately two (2) feet in one direction and stop.
11. When the Motor stops, press and hold the Programming Button on the back of the Remote Transmitter for
5 seconds until the motor ‘jogs’, then release. (A ‘jog’ is a short back and forth movement of the Motor).
12. Activate the Transmitter by pressing the OPEN and CLOSE buttons at the same time, the Motor will jog.
13. Press the my (middle) button on the front of the Remote Transmitter until the motor jogs, then release.
14. Press the Programming button on the back of the Remote Transmitter until the motor jogs and release.
The direction of the Motor rotation has been changed.
Test the Awning for proper operation. Make sure that the lower button on the Remote extends the Awning
out.
