SOMFY EOLIS WIREFREE RTS SENSOR Installation And Operating Instructions

DESCRIPTION

The Eolis WireFree RTS Sensor is a battery powered, 2-axis vibration sensor that detects vibration of an awning caused by excessive wind. It will transmit a
radio command to retract an awning when the vibration due to wind is greater than the set point. It comes packaged in a weather resistant enclosure and is
meant to mount on the front bar of the awning. The Eolis WireFree RTS Sensor is not compatible with awnings that have moveable front valences.

SYSTEM SET UP

These steps should be performed prior to mounting the sensor
1. Apply power to a motorized awning already installed on a dwelling.
2. Press the UP button on a Telis or similar transmitter already memorized. The awning should retract. If this is incorrect, follow the directions included with the
transmitter to reverse the motor direction. FAILURE TO CORRECT THIS ERROR WILL CAUSE THE AWNING TO EXTEND DURING
WINDY CONDITIONS AND MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE.
3. Measure the time it takes the awning to travel from fully retracted to fully extended. Set Dip Switch 2 to the ON position for travel time between 60 and 90 seconds.
Set Dip Switch 2 to the OFF (near the battery) position for travel time less than 60 seconds.

MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS

With the awning extended, the Eolis Wirefree Sensor should be mounted on the front bar. The preferred locations are on the face of the front bar, behind the front bar
or under the awning front bar. The awning arms can be used but are not recommended. If the sensor must be mounted on the awning arms, be sure to avoid
damaging the internal cables when using the self drilling screws. Care must be exercised, particularly with cassette awnings, to make sure the sensor is not crushed
when the awning is retracted. For proper operation, the awning should be rigidly mounted to avoid excessive vibration. For best reception the EWF should be
mounted on the side which is closest to the motor head.
