The system offers three unique features:
•
Full Retract
—when the awning is retracted, it retracts completely. It is not necessary to hold the
button when closing the awning.
•
Auto-Retract
—the awning can be set to automatically close when windy conditions occur.
•
Remote Control
—the operator can conveniently close when windy conditions occur.
The user will be able to set the sensitivity and may have to experiment to find the best setting suitable for his
personal preference. Note the awning control panel (Figure 13-4) that is located in the overhead compartment
directly above the driver’s seat. They are listed as Patio, Wind Speed, and Mode.
The Wind Speed switch is the sensitivity switch. The sensitivity switch has three
levels: High, Medium, and Low. To operate the sensitivity switch, set the
MODE switch to AUTO-RETRACT ON and set the SENSITITIVY switch
to the desired level.
Note:
If the sensitivity switch is not installed, the system
defaults to the medium setting.
The system operates by gauging the motion of the awning’s leading edge. When
persistent motion exceeds the factory preset threshold value for two (2)
seconds or longer, the system automatically retracts the awning. The push-button
controls allow the user to choose between three factory preset sensitivity values
(threshold values).
Gust detection is also incorporated into the software. When the motion value is suddenly and sharply increased
above a safe maximum value, then the 2-second persistence measure is overridden and the awning closes
immediately.
To operate the awning using the Mode switch:
•
OFF—the center position shuts the system down. The awning cannot be extended or retracted in this
mode. It is strongly recommended that the switch be in this position whenever the awning is not used
and during transport. This will prevent the awning from accidentally extending.
•
POWER ON—the bottom position activates the switch controls.
•
AUTO-REETRACT ON—the top position activates the switch controls and the Auto-Retract system.
When the switch is placed in the POWER ON or AUTO-RETRACT ON position, the switch will illuminate
to indicate the system is active.
To operate the awning using the Patio switch:
•
EXTEND---press and hold the switch. The awning extends out until the switch is released.
