A.5 - Adjusting the motor’s sensitivity to obstacles
NOTES AND WARNINGS
• Use this procedure to activate, adjust or deactivate the safety system that: a) detects the presence of an obstacle along the travel of the awning; b) reduces the mo-
tor tension on the awning when it is stationary at the Upper limit switch “0” (only if there is a box or other mechanical stop at this limit switch).
• This procedure adjusts the limit of the traction force that the motor can exert on the awning in an attempt to release it, when it is stopped suddenly by an obstacle
or friction. At the same time, if the Upper limit switch “0” is the box or other mechanical stop, the system uses the same value set with this procedure, to reduce the
impact of the awning against the box and loosen the tension exerted by the motor on the canvas, when the awning is stationary at the Upper limit switch “0”.
•
The sensitivity is set using configuration parameters. The way of adjusting them depends on the Z-Wave gateway you are using, consult the gateway manual for more
information.
• The sensitivity is set using
parameter 43
(4 bytes).
• The following options are available:
–
0: sensitivity DISABLED
– this setting disables the safety system (factory setting).
–
1: MINIMUM sensitivity
– this setting is only active when the awning is moving Up. The motor delivers a lot of force and will often be able to unjam the awning,
even when the load is varying due to friction or small obstacles.
–
2: ULTRA sensitivity(*)
– this setting is active when the awning is moving Down.
–
3: ULTRA sensitivity(*) with brief inversion
– this setting is active when the awning is moving Up or Down. If an obstacle is detected when the awning is mov-
ing Down, the motor briefly inverts the movement to free it.
–
4: ULTRA sensitivity(*) with full inversion
– this setting is active when the awning is moving Up or Down. If an obstacle is detected when the awning is moving
Up, the motor inverts the movement and stops the awning at the Lowest point “1”.
(*)

IMPORTANT
- After having programmed the option, or following the return of power after a blackout,
2 full manoeuvre cycles must be carried out straight
away
(Up and Down = 1 cycle) to activate the function. During this movement, the motor maps the instantaneous load along its travel and automatically sets the
maximum sensitivity available with the awning in question.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES “A.6”, “A.7”
The “Cruise speed” (procedure A.6) and “Acceleration/deceleration of the movement” (procedure A.7) functions allow you
to completely customise the movement of the awning, allowing you to align multiple awnings of different sizes, with different
diameter rollers (among other effects), or make the awning run more quietly.
A.6 - Adjusting the awning’s cruise speed
NOTES AND WARNINGS
• To determine whether the option chosen for the cruise speed of the awning is compatible with the characteristics of the your awning (weight, roller dimensions, torque),
refer to “Technical characteristics”.
•
The cruise speed is set using configuration parameters. The way of adjusting them depends on the Z-Wave gateway you are using, consult the gateway manual for
more information.
• By default the cruise speed is set to 32 rotations/minute.
• The acceleration is set using
parameter 39
(4 bytes).
• The acceleration can be set in range of
16 to 48
(16 to 32 rotations/minute, 1 rotation/minute step).
A
A.7 - Adjusting the acceleration (at the start of the awning movement) and deceleration
(towards the end of the movement)
NOTES AND WARNINGS
•
Acceleration and deceleration are expressed in roller rotations. For acceleration, this is the number of rotations of the roller the system requires to accelerate from the
start of the movement to the cruise speed. For deceleration, it is the number of rotations of the roller the system requires to decelerate from cruise speed to stopping
at the limit switch.
•
Acceleration and deceleration are set using configuration parameters. The way of adjusting them depends on the Z-Wave gateway you are using, consult the gate-
way manual for more information.
A.7.2 - Adjusting the acceleration
• By default the acceleration function is disabled.
• The acceleration is set using
parameter 41
(4 bytes).
• The acceleration can be set in range of
0 to 30
, where 0 is instantaneous acceleration and 30 is 3 rotations (0.1 rotations step).
A.7.3 - Adjusting the deceleration
• By default the deceleration is set to 15 (1.5 rotations).
• The deceleration is set using
parameter 42
(4 bytes).
• The deceleration can be set in range of
0 to 30
, where 0 is instantaneous deceleration and 30 is 3 rotations (0.1 rotations step).
