Programming steps to Remote Motion Sensor NOTE: PLEASE REVIEW THESE STEPS PRIOR TO PROGRAMMING THE MOTION SENSOR. ALL PROGRAMMING SEQUENCES MUST BE DONE WITHIN A 10 SECOND PERIOD. a) Remove the four (4) screws that retain the Motion Sensor cover. These screws will have an O-Ring attached.
Page 24
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 25
PROGRAMMING THE MOTION SENSORS: Locate and identify the Awning Controller in the coach: 120V AC awnings will have the GC136 (Figure 1). 12V DC awnings will use the GC732G (Figure 4). Figure 1 AWNINGS USING GC136 AC MOTOR CONTROL: NOTE: PLEASE REVIEW THESE STEPS PRIOR TO PROGRAMMING THE MOTION SENSOR. ALL PROGRAMMING SEQUENCES MUST BE DONE WITHIN A 10 SECOND PERIOD.
Page 26
Figure 3 c) Locate the Sensitivity Dial and carefully adjust to the #5 Position (Figure 2). d) Place the Motion Sensor cover upside down and back onto the base (Figure 3). The reed switch must be located directly over the magnet to operate the Motion Sensor. e) Apply a 12V Power Source to the 12V Motion Sensor.

Figure 4 AWNINGS USING GC732G DC MOTOR CONTROL: NOTE: PLEASE REVIEW THESE STEPS PRIOR TO PROGRAMMING THE MOTION SENSOR. ALL PROGRAMMING SEQUENCES MUST BE DONE WITHIN A 10 SECOND PERIOD. Identify the GC732G Controller that the Motion Sensor will be programmed to (Figure 4). You can identify the controller by extending or retracting the awning using the IN/OUT Buttons located on the top of the Controller.

Ignition Lockout Model 98GC1102 (Transmitter) The Model GC1102 Ignition Lockout is designed to send a retract signal to the G-Link controls of Girard Systems. Whenever the engine of the Recreational Vehicle is turned on the GC1102 will send a retract signal 3 times within 5 seconds, this will insure that all Awnings are retracted and are in the closed position.
