SECTION 12 –
MISCELLANEOUS
12-14
The Awning Control switches and the LED
Light switch (if equipped) are located on the
switch panel just inside the entrance door.
Awning Power Switch
•
Power ON
- The On position activates the
Patio Awning switch and the Auto-Retract
system as well as provides power to the
awning.
•
Power OFF
- The Off position shuts down the
system. The awning cannot be extended or
retracted in this mode. The Auto-Retract
system is also disabled.
Patio Awning Operation
1. Turn the Awning Power switch ON.
2. Press and Hold the Patio Awning switch
DOWN (to extend) or UP (to retract) until the
awning is in the desired position, then release
the switch.
3. Set the Awning Sensitivity switch to the level
desired (high or low).
Wind Sensor Auto-Retract Feature
If the Wind Sensor is activated, the system
will automatically retract the Patio Awning
during windy conditions. Sensitivity threshold is
set on the control panel.
Wind Speed (Awning Sensitivity) Switch
(High/Low)
Low requires the least amount of motion
before automatically closing the awning. High
requires more motion before the system
automatically closes the awning. You may want
to experiment first to find the setting that best
suits your needs.
NOTE: The Windsensor Auto-Retract system is
on when the Awning Power switch is On
and is off when the Awning Power switch
is set to Off. If the power is shut off while
the awning is extended, the awning is not
protected by the Auto-Retract system.
The system uses a sensor in the motor head to
detect awning motion during windy conditions
and gauges vertical motion. When persistent
motion exceeds the factory preset threshold for
two seconds or longer, the awning will retract
automatically.
Gust detection is incorporated into the Direct
Response software. When the motion value is
suddenly and sharply increased above a safe
maximum value, the two second persistence
measure is overridden and the awning will close
immediately.
CAUTION
Pinch Hazard. Ensure there are no
people who could be harmed or objects
that can be damaged. Failure to heed this
warning could result in severe injury and/
or property damage.
