F. Personalized Wind Sensor Adjustment
If the wind sensor is not responding as desired to windy
conditions (using the predefined settings), it may be ad-
justed to personalized preference.
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 the
sensitivity needs adjustment beyond what the
predefined (potentiometer) settings can provide,
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 to "0". See FIG. 8.
6. Reassemble sensor and install onto sensor base
securely. See FIG. 7.
Note: Wind sensor is now in personalized detection mode.
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: Wind sensor recorded the intensity of vibration, and
is now set to close when the wind intensity matches this
personalized setting.
Awning motor will not operate for approximately 30 seconds
after awning is closed by wind sensor.
8. Extend awning to its out limit.
9. Repeat step (7) to test setting. If awning does not
retract satisfactorily, proceed to step (10).
10. Extend awning to its out limit.
11. Remove sensor from sensor base, and wait for 2
seconds. See FIG. 7.
12. Install sensor back onto sensor base securely.
See FIG. 7.
Note: If sensor is removed from sensor base for more than
4 seconds, reinstall sensor onto sensor base and repeat
steps (11) through (12).
13. Repeat step (7) through (9) to record and test
new setting.
Note: If awning still does not retract satisfactorily, repeat
steps (10) through (13) for further adjustments.
G. Set / Reset Awning Intermediate Position
An intermediate limit may be programmed to open awning
to a customized position (between the out limit and closed
position).
1. Using awning remote, move lead rail to the de-
sired position. See FIG. 10.
a. Press the open or close button briefly on
awning remote to move lead rail in desired
direction.
b. When lead rail reaches desired position,
press the stop button briefly to stop travel.

2. Press and hold stop button on awning remote for
approximately 5 seconds. Awning motor should
jog momentarily, indicating intermediate position
is recognized. See FIG. 10.
Note: If a different intermediate position is desired, repeat
steps (1) through (2).
3. Press stop button briefly (from any position). Aw-
ning should extend to its intermediate position.
