12. If the Awning automatically closes, this means the
sensor is set correctly.
Note: The Awning Motor will not accept a command
from the Remote Transmitter for up to 1 minute
after the Wireless Wind Sensor has retracted the
Awning.
13. If the Awning does not close automatically, repeat
Step 11 by strongly shaking the Front Bar up and
down quickly 3 to 5 TIMES IN A ROW. To shake the
Front Bar, lift the Bar until strong resistance is met,
then allow the Bar to drop freely. Repeat quickly.
If
the Awning still does not close automatically, slide
the Wind Sensor off the Mounting Plate and repeat
Steps 4 to 13 with a NEW SET OF BATTERIES. If the
Awning still does not close automatically, remove the
Wind Sensor from the Mounting Plate; then delete it
from the Motor memory (see steps below) and call
Customer Service at 800-670-7071
.
WARNING: YOU MUST BE CERTAIN THAT
THE WIRELESS WIND SENSOR IS INSTALLED,
PROGRAMMED AND OPERATING PROPERLY.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN THE WIRELESS
WIND SENSOR NOT BEING ABLE TO CLOSE YOUR
AWNING DURING WINDY CONDITIONS, WHICH
COULD CAUSE DAMAGE AND PERSONAL INJURY. IF
THE MOTOR DIRECTION IS REVERSED THE SENSOR
WILL EXTEND (OPEN) THE AWNING IN WINDY
CONDITIONS, INSTEAD OF CLOSING IT.
The Wireless Wind Sensor should now be installed
and functioning properly. If not, please see the list
of potential problems, causes, and actions on the
following page.
DELETING THE WIRELESS WIND SENSOR
FROM THE MOTOR MEMORY:
1. Remove the Wireless Wind Sensor from the
Mounting Plate; then remove the Sensor Unit from
the Housing, using a small flat blade screwdriver.
2. Press the Programming Button (See Figure 6) on
the back of the Remote that was supplied with your
Awning until the motor “jogs.” A “jog” is a short
back and forth movement of the Motor.
3. Press the Programming Button located on the
inside of the Sensor (See Figure 6) until the Motor
“jogs,” then release.
Testing the Wireless Wind Sensor;
• When testing the Wireless Wind Sensor, lift the
Front Bar of the Awning at least one foot, then let
it drop under its own weight. Repeat quickly 3 to 5
times. The Awning should close.
• The process to add the Wireless Wind Sensor to
the Awning Motor’s memory is identical to the
process of removing the Wireless Wind Sensor
from the Awning Motor’s memory.
Therefore, it is possible to add the Wireless Wind
Sensor to the Motor’s memory, then remove it
from memory, unintentionally, by pressing the
Programming buttons a second time. If testing
the Wireless Wind Sensor repeatedly fails to
retract the Awning, repeat Steps 5, 6, and 7
.
• Verify the Wireless Wind Sensor is mounted to
the inside of the Lateral Arm, close to the Front
Bar, on the Motor side of the Awning. Do not
mount the Wireless Wind Sensor to the Lateral
Arm on the opposite side of the Awning from
where the Motor is located. This is important
because the operating range is about 20 feet.
Recommended Annual Maintenance for the
Wireless Wind Sensor
Batteries: The Wireless Wind Sensor is continuously
communicating with the Awning Motor, therefore
the batteries lose power. It is recommended for
best results, that the two AAA batteries be changed
once a year. Do not use rechargeable batteries in the
Wireless Wind Sensor.
