To make any changes to the alarm trip thresholds, to change the batteries or to perform
any other programming operation, the shell must be unsnapped from its base. To perform
this procedure, without the sensor tripping an alarm that will close the awning, creating
a potentially hazardous situation for persons in the vicinity, it’s necessary to disable the
MISTRAL (check paragraph DISABLE THE SENSOR).
When the batteries are almost drained, the LED will flash regularly every two seconds.
Change the batteries.
When changing the batteries, it’s possible to use the
Automatic Deactivation of the sensor:
- Unsnap the shell from the base
- Rotate the shell and keep it vertical for
around 3 seconds
- The sensor will automatically deactivate
When the new batteries are placed, the sensor will reactivate automatically: just snap
again the shell on the base.
Under normal use conditions, the batteries should last over two years. In any event, it is
suggested that the batteries be changed at the beginning of each new season.
Note:
whether disabling or enabling the sensor again or when replacing the batteries,
the sensor maintains the angle of inclination and “Static Load” function memorised. After
having activated the sensor, if the “Static Load” function is enabled, the LED will remain
on. If you wish to keep that function active, do not press the programming button and
snap the shell back onto the base.
To enable the sensor once again,
follow the activation procedure
as indicated on page 16.

DISABLE THE SENSOR
To deactivate the MISTRAL proceed as following:
- Open the awning completely and wait for at least ten seconds after the terminal bar
has stopped moving before beginning to unsnap the sensor.
- Press both snap hooks sideways at the same time while pulling the shell downward,
until it comes away from its base. Use no tools for this procedure (screwdrivers, or
similar items).
- As soon as the shell has been unsnapped, rotate the selector to the 0 position: the LED
will then flash three times slowly (0.5 seconds ON - 0.5 seconds OFF), to confirm the
fact that the sensor has been deactivated and cannot trip an alarm.
