Note: If you have a MultiChannel Remote, ensure
the correct Channel is selected.
1. Make sure that the
Lower Button on the
Remote Transmitter
is the button that
OPENS your Awning.
See Figure 2.
Note: If the Lower
Button does not OPEN your Awning but, instead
CLOSES your Awning, you will need to complete the
steps for Changing the Direction of Motor Rotation.
If your Motor has a Square, Black Housing
(See Figure 2a), follow Appendix A on Page 6,
"Changing the Direction of Motor Rotation for the
RTS Motor Only."
• If your Motor has a Round, Silver Housing
(See Figure 2b), follow Appendix B on Page 7,
"Changing the Direction of Motor Rotation for the
Sunea Motor Only"
Once you have verified that the lower button on the
Remote OPENS your Awning, continue with Step 2.

My shade closes when it isnt windy

The SunSetter Wireless Wind Sensor may cause the shade to close when it isn't windy due to its sensitivity settings or improper installation. The sensor detects up-and-down movement, and if it is too sensitive, minor vibrations or movements (such as from passing traffic or slight structural shifts) could trigger it. Adjusting the potentiometer or sensitivity adjuster may help reduce false activations. Additionally, ensure the sensor is securely mounted in the correct position to prevent unintended triggers.
