Temp. di funzionamento -5°C /+40°C Dimensioni 270 x 120 x 90 mm DESCRIPTION The QCWS wind sensor is designed for residential use. Connected to XQ50 tubular motors, wind speed is continuously monitored, triggering the control to retract the awning automatically as needed.
INSTALLATION The QCWS wind sensor is supplied in 2 parts: 1) the main body and 2) the 3 cups fan, to be inserted, by hand pressure only, in its shaft on the main body. The QCWS wind sensor must be installed with the fan downwards and it should be placed close to the awning to make sure the wind speed is measured at the product.

FUNCTIONS Wind protection function Retracts and prevents the awning to open for 20 minutes if the wind threshold is exceeded. Sun protection function [QCWSSX] This function allows the awning to open after 2 minutes if the sun threshold value is exceeded. Note: The awning opens completely up to the down limit unless an intermediate position is previously set (Just for motors with electronic encoded tubular motors with built-in radio receiver).
