Adjusting the IN Limit Switch
For motorized awnings w/ Direct Response:
NOTE: The “
IN
” limit switch is not adjusted when the Direct Response system is installed. The system
electronics monitors the motor and shuts the motor off when the awning is fully retracted.
If the IN limit switch is accidentally adjusted, the motor may shut off before the awning is fully closed. If this
occurs, turn the "in" adjustment screw to increase the motor run time. It is not necessary that the screw
matches the closed position. The Direct Response electronics control the closed position.
NOTE: It is normal for the lead rail to slightly relax after the awning closes completely.
For motorized awnings w/ standard electronics:
1. Retract the awning in completely.
2. Confirm that the arms are fully retracted. The motor should stop when the awning is fully retracted. If
the motor continues to run; or, if the motor quits before the arms are fully retracted, it will be necessary
to adjust the “
IN
” limit switch.
3. Using a 4mm Allen wrench turn the “
IN
” limit switch to increase the run time to pull the awning into the
case or decrease the run time so the awning does not try to over retract.
NOTE:
It is best to make the adjustments in increments of a single turn. 3 full turns of the screw
equals approximately 2” of fabric extension.
4. Extend and retract the awning several times to confirm that the adjustment is correct.
5. Repeat as required until the awning retracts correctly.
