d. Verify potentiometer sensitivity is set to de-
sired predefined level (factory preset is "3"),
then reassemble wind sensor and install onto
sensor base securely. See FIG. 7 and 8.
e. If awning still does not close when shaken,
proceed to step (2).
2. Press program button on back of awning re-
mote. Awning motor should jog momentarily. See
FIG. 9.

3. With wind sensor removed from sensor base,
press program button on inside of wind sen-
sor. Awning motor should jog momentarily. See
FIG. 8.
Note: The awning motor will only recognize wind sensor if
the awning remote is fully programmed. See "Reset Motor
And Remote" section if necessary.
4. Reassemble wind sensor, and install onto sensor
base securely. See FIG. 7.
5. Shake the lead rail up and down 3" - 4" for ap-
proximately 8 seconds (to simulate wind vibra-
tion). Awning should retract until it's closed. See
FIG. 6.
Note: Awning motor will not operate for approximately 30
seconds after awning is closed by wind sensor.
6. If awning does not close when shaken, repeat
steps (2) through (5) before contacting a qualified
Dometic service technician.

E. Predefined Wind Sensor Adjustment
If the wind sensor is not responding appropriately to windy
conditions, or is closing awning during light breezes, it may
need to be adjusted.
IMPACT OR CRUSH HAZARD. Make sure wind
sensor sensitivity is set properly to enable
awning to close during windy conditions.
Low sensitivity to high intensity wind will
allow the awning to stay open during windy
conditions, and could cause it to bend or
collapse. Failure to obey this warning could
result in death or serious injury.
1. Verify wind sensor functionality. See "Reset Wind
Sensor" section.
2. If wind sensor functions when shaken, but sen-
sitivity needs adjustment, proceed with step (3).
3. Extend awning to its out limit.
PINCH HAZARD. Do not remove wind sensor
from sensor base until ready to complete wind
sensor adjustment. Awning will close auto-
matically 1 hour after wind sensor removal.
4. Remove sensor from sensor base, then sensor
cover from sensor. See FIG. 7.
5. Using a small flat bladed screwdriver, set potenti-
ometer sensitivity according to desired threshold.
See FIG. 8.
a. "1" is the highest predefined setting for wind
sensitivity. Low intensity shaking will close
the awning.
b. "9" is the lowest predefined setting for wind
sensitivity. High intensity shaking is required
to close the awning.
6. Once desired sensitivity is set, reassemble wind
sensor and install onto sensor base securely.
See FIG. 7.
7. With awning extended to its out limit, shake the
lead rail for approximately 8 seconds (to simulate
wind vibration) with the intensity desired to close
awning. Awning should retract until it's closed.
See FIG. 6.
Note: Awning motor will not operate for approximately 30
seconds after awning is closed by wind sensor.
8. Repeat steps (3) through (7) if further adjust-
ments are necessary.
Note: If predefined settings on potentiometer do not meet
your desired wind sensitivity, a personalized setting may
be necessary. See "Personalized Wind Sensor Adjust-
ment" section.
