The motor limit switches are preset at the factory for best operation. The “
OUT
” limit switch is used to stop
the motor when the awning is fully extended. The “
IN
” limit is
NOT USED
with the
Direct Response
system.
Adjusting the OUT Limit Switch
NOTE:
During normal operation, the awning will extend out then roll back slightly to tension the fabric.
1. Extend the awning out completely.
2. Confirm that the arms are fully extended. The motor should stop and the fabric should be tight. If the
motor continues to run, the fabric will sag; or, if the motor quits before the arms are fully extended, it will
be necessary to adjust the “
OUT
” limit switch.
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.
3. If the fabric sags:
3.1. Retract the awning until the fabric is tight then retract an addition 10"-12".
3.2. Using a 4mm Allen wrench turn the “
OUT
” limit switch
COUNTERCLOCKWISE
to reduce the time the
motor runs.
3.3. Extend to confirm that the adjustment is correct.
3.4. Repeat the procedure until the awning extends correctly.
4. If the arms do not extend completely:
4.1. Retract the awning approximately 10"-12".
4.2. Using a 4mm Allen wrench turn the “
OUT
” limit switch
CLOCKWISE
to increase the time the motor runs.
4.3. Extend to confirm that the adjustment is correct.
4.4. Repeat the procedure until the awning extends correctly.
Adjusting the IN Limit Switch
NOTE:
The “
IN
” limit switch is not adjusted with the Direct Response system. 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.
NOTE:
It is normal for the lead rail to slightly relax after the awning closes completely.
The limit switches are located inside the case, near the end plate. To access the switches, remove the rubber plugs on top
of the case next to the end plate.
