Figure 19.  Motor Limit Switches. 

The limit switches are located inside the case, near the end cap.  It is necessary to extend the awning to 
access the switches. 

Adjusting the OUT Limit Switch 

NOTE: During normal operation, the awning will extend out completely then roll back slightly to 

provide tension to the fabric. 

1.  Extend the awning out completely. 

2.  Confirm that the arms are fully extended.  The motor should stop and the fabric should be tight.  If the 

motor continues to run, the fabric will sag; or, if the motor quits before the arms are extended, it will be 
necessary to adjust the “

OUT

” limit switch. 

3.  Using a 4mm Allen wrench turn the “

OUT

” limit switch.  C

LOCKWISE

 increases time the motor runs 

during extension, 

COUNTERCLOCKWISE

 reduces the time the motor runs. 

NOTE:  It is best to make the adjustments in increments of a single turn.  3 full turns of the 

screw equals approximately 2” of fabric extension. 

4.  Extend and retract the awning several times to confirm that the adjustment is correct. 

5.  Repeat steps 3 and 4 as required until the awning extends correctly. 

Adjusting the IN Limit Switch 

1.  Retract the awning in completely. 
2.  Confirm that the arms are fully retracted.  The motor should stop when the awning is fully retracted.  If 

the motor continues to run; or, if the motor quits before the arms are fully retracted, it will be necessary 
to adjust the “

IN

” limit switch. 

3.  Using a 4mm Allen wrench turn the “

IN

” limit switch.  Clockwise increase time the motor runs during 

retraction, counter clockwise reduces the time the motor runs. 

NOTE:  It is best to make the adjustments in increments of a single turn.  3 full turns of the 

screw equals approximately 2” of fabric extension. 

4.  Extend and retract the awning several times to confirm that the adjustment is correct. 

5.  Repeat steps 3 and 4 as required until the awning extends correctly.
