8. Wind Sensor Installation
a. 3308347.008 Control Box Kit (Wind sensor wire
routed through RV roof)
Note: Wind sensor is to be installed on the RV roof, in
an open area away from other objects. It should be
mounted in a within 3° of a vertical position . It must be
with in 18' of the control box. See FIG. 9.
1.
Find wind sensor location and drill a 1/2" hole
through roof. See FIG. 9.
2.
Route a FLAT four conductor cable (maximum
length 18', installer supplied) from wind sensor to
control box. This cable must be terminated with a
RJ-11 connector on both ends. See FIG. 10, 11, &
19. Refer to the crimp tool manufacturer for crimping
FIG. 10
instructions. Be sure the cable is installed in the
proper position in the connector before it is crimped.
Polarity is important and a standard pre-made
telephone cable will not work.
Note: RJ-11 connectors must be wired identically
on both ends. Cables that have reversed RJ-11
connectors and the wind sensor is ““ON” ” will
cause the awning to retract. See FIG. 10 & 11.
Note:
Awning is not intended for cold weather
operation. Awning will close at approximately 30° F.
with sensor turned “ON” .
Note: If the awning is open with the wind sensor
“ON” and the wind sensor is unplugged for any
reason, the Awning will automatically close in 30
seconds.
3. Connect cable to wind sensor. See FIG. 12 & 19.
4. Mount wind sensor to roof with # 10 stainless
steel screws (installer supplied) with appropriate
length depending on roof thickness. Seal around
the wind sensor cable, screw heads and wind
sensor base with suitable sealer to prevent water
leaks.
5. Connect opposite end of cable to control box.
See FIG. 9 & 19.
Note: The awning control box contains an audible
alarm. This alarm will sound if the wind sensor is
exposed to temperatures 30° F or below when
the wind sensor switch is “ON” or when the aw-
ning control has detected a problem either in the
wind sensor or the wind sensor cable. If you hear
a beeping sound coming from the control box when
the wind sensor switch is in the “ON” position,
one of the above situations has occurred. When
the alarm sounds the wind sensor feature is not
functioning. Turn the wind sensor switch to the
"OFF" position and wait till the ambient tempera-
ture is above 30° F. and turn switch back “ON”. If
alarm is still sounding contact a Dometic Service
Center or a qualified service technician for assis-
tance.
