  • Page 20 Remote Motion Sensor Model GC 135M (Transmitter) The model GC 135M Motion Sensor is used to sense the movement of the Lead Rail of an awning caused by wind that could result in damage to the system. It consists of a main enclosure that incorporates the electronic components and a small magnet with a mounting bracket (see above).
  • Page 21 The unit operates on a 3V DC2032 battery with a life of over two years and the operating condition of the unit should be checked periodically by pushing upward on the extended Lead Rail and letting it drop to verify that the system is working properly.
  • Page 22 Remote Motion Sensor Part No. 98GC779G ( Transmitter) The Remote Motion Sensor is designed to prevent structural damage to an awning when it is subjected to high stress induced by wind or other causes: In the past this was done using an Anemometer that measured the wind speed and made the awning retract if the speed was greater than a preset value (Typically 18 mph).

  • Page 26 Remote Retract All Model GC 135-I (Transmitter) The model GC 135-I Remote Retract is a control unit designed to send a “Retract All” signal to the Awning Receivers of the system. It is normally mounted under the dashboard of the vehicle on a switched 12VDC circuit that powers the unit: every time that the power is turned on the GC 135-I will cause all of the awnings that have been programmed to retract.
  • Page 27 Programming steps NOTE: • Before starting this procedure the Receiver must be without power (OFF) for at least 10 seconds. • During the programming function the interval between each step required must be less than 10 seconds. • The Motion Sensor can only be programmed to a REMOTE that is already programmed to the Receiver. To Program GC135-I to a GC-136 Receiver Turn on the GC-136 and the GC135-I(Leave them on if already on) g) Press the PROGRAM button on the GC-136 (the LED will start blinking)
  • Page 28 Ignition Retract and Lockout Model 98GC135-IRL (Transmitter) The 98GC135-IRL Ignition Retract Lockout is designed to send a retract signal to our G-Link control boxes/Remote Motors. Whenever the Ignition is turned on the 98GC135IRL will send a retract signal 3 times for interval of 5 seconds. This will insure that all Awnings are retracted and are in the closed position.

During the programming function the interval between each step required must be less than 10 seconds PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL TO A RECEIVER Select on the GC106 the desired Channel Make sure that the Receiver is powered on Press the program button on the Receiver: the Green LED of the Receiver will start blinking...
  • Page 37 Remote Wall Switches Model GC 229 – 1C and Model GC230 – 2C (Transmitters) The models GC229 and GC230 Remote Wall Switches perform the same functions as the Remote Controls, use the same battery and are programmed in the same way. These units are powered by a 3V battery (DC2430) that will last over two years of normal operation.
  • Page 38 GC229 GC230 Programming steps NOTE: • Before starting this procedure the Receiver must be without power (OFF) for at least 10 seconds. • During the programming function the interval between each step required must be less than 10 seconds. • The Motion Sensor can only be programmed to a REMOTE that is already programmed to the Receiver.
  • Page 39 Battery Replacement The control units of the Girard Link Systems listed below are battery operated and they will cease to function properly when the batteries are discharged. All units will operate typically in excess of two years on a single battery, but we recommend replacing every year.
