Wind Sensor Adjustment:
To prevent damage, the awning system utilizes a Wind Sensor that will
retract the awning in case of sustained winds. In order for the Wind Sensor
to operate, the motorhome must be hooked to shore power, have the genera-
tor running or the inverter turned on. The Wind Sensor will override any
switch command. An adjustable potentiometer, located in the awning control
box, sets the wind speed necessary to retract the awning. The potentiome-
ter, adjustable between 12 and 31 mph, is preset from the factory at 22 mph.
The control box is located in the forward cabinet of the curbside living room
overhead. The access panel must be removed to adjust the wind speed sen-
sor.
To Adjust the Sensor:
• Disconnect or turn off AC power. Turn
off the interior house power (12 Volt DC).
• Unscrew the cover plate screws.
• Adjust the potentiometer clockwise to
increase the amount of wind speed needed
to retract the awning.
• Adjust the potentiometer counterclock-
wise to decrease the amount of wind
speed needed to retract the awning.
CAUTION:
Setting the potentiometer above 25
mph may void the warranty.
When the wind sensor attains the set speed for more than a few seconds, the awning will automati-
cally retract, provided the awning has 120 Volt AC power. The awning will not automatically open
when wind speed subsides. Open using the remote.
Tips for Awning Use:
• Avoid leaving the awning partially extended during high wind conditions. The awning is at
the strongest setting when fully extended.
• If the wind sensor retracts the awning, it is recommend to leave the awning in until winds
subside.
• Awning will not operate with the ignition key in the ON position.
