The A & E WeatherPro awning is equipped with a wind sensing device that will automatically close the awning when wind conditions are present that may damage the awning. To activate the wind sensing feature turn the wind sensor switch to the "ON" position. It is located on the left side of the control box. With switch in the "OFF" position awning will not be affected by high winds and will remain open and may cause damage to awning. The wind sensor switch is set to the "ON" position at the factory.
When the wind sensor switch is set to the "ON" position DO NOT hang items from the awning or tie the awning down. Damage to the awning and items may occur if the sensor is activated and the awning attempts to roll up.
The WeatherPro Awning Control monitors the wind sensor switch position and wind speed events over the preset wind speed and stores it in memory. If wind sensor switch is in the "OFF" position and the wind exceeds the preset, the awning warranty may be voided if the awning is damaged by wind. If Awning will not operate and the wind sensor switch is in the "ON" position, wind conditions may be above the preset wind speed which will not allow the awning to open.
The wind sensor is specifically designed to allow air to pass through the carousel. If the sensing element in the wind sensor becomes wet the awning will not open if closed; or will automatically close if open. Normally the only way for it to get wet is by driving in rain or spraying water directly into the carousel. However, it is possible for it to get wet from severe angled rains or water condensing on the wind sensor. If you suspect this has occurred wait ten minutes for it to dry out before operating awning.
The wind sensor will only function correctly if the airway to the sensing element is clear. Keep airway clear of dust, insects, ice, snow, or other debris. The sensing element can be cleaned with a small soft bristle brush.
The awning control box contains an audible alarm. When the alarm sounds the awning control has detected a problem either in the wind sensor or the wind sensor cable. If you hear a beeping sound coming from the control box when the sensor switch is in the "ON" position the wind sensor feature is not functioning. Turn the sensor switch off and contact a Dometic Service Center or a qualified service technician for assistance.
The A&E WeatherPro awning is extremely durable and can be operated during moderate rain and wind conditions. However, when periods of heavy rain and/or wind is expected the awning should be closed. Damage caused by wind and rain is not covered by warranty.
Rear Arm
Your A & E awning is designed to shed water if left out in the rain. The rear arm will automatically decrease the awning height approximately 9 inches when it is raining. When there is no longer the need to shed water it will return to the normal height.
