power source. Make sure you have sufficient power available before
operating your awning (refer to Electrical Systems, Calculating
electrical load).

Some patio awnings are equipped with a motion detector. If the patio awning experiences
extreme or excessive movement, it will automatically retract to the travel mode position.
