Power Awning (Over The Door) - Winnebago Itasca Ellipse Owner's Manual

complete latching of the compartment doors if
they are simply "dropped shut" or closing force is
applied only to the center of the door.
To ensure that exterior storage compartment
doors have latched properly, press firmly on the
bottom edges (side edges - if equipped) of the
doors with the palms of your hands. If the door is
ajar you will hear and feel a loud "click" when
the latches engage properly.
POWER AWNING
–If Equipped
The awning control switches are on the switch
panel just inside the entrance door.

Steps to Operating the Controls
1. Turn the Power Switch On.
2. Use the Porch Awning Switch to extend or
retract the awning as desired.
3. Set the Sensitivity Switch to the level desired.
Power Switch
Power ON - The On position activates the
Porch 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.
Wind Sensor Auto-Retract Feature
If the Wind Sensor is activated, the system
will automatically retract the porch awning
during windy conditions. Sensitivity threshold is
set on the control panel.
Wind Speed Switch
(High, Medium, 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 power is On and is Off
when the 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.
