6.2 Function of the fabric tensioning and obstacle detection system
Automatic fabric tensioning during
normal operation
During normal operation, the awning runs up to
the outer end point and subsequently shifts briefly
in the opposite direction (reverses) in order to
automatically tension the awning fabric.
Requirements for correct fabric tensioning:
◆
The fabric tensioning function is always active
after the first run cycles, after both the self-
taught and manual end point setting.
Function of the obstacle detection system
when extending the awning
The tubular motor stops and automatically shifts
briefly in the opposite direction (reverses) in the
event that the awning hits an obstacle while ex-
tending.
Requirements for correct obstacle detection:
◆
The catch must be mounted with the freewheel
mechanism (see fig. 6, page 51), original fac-
tory settings.
◆
Obstacle detection can be
activated/deactivated via the HomePilot®.
6.1 Function of the fabric relief and blockage detection system
Automatic fabric relief during normal operation
During normal operation, the awning runs up
to the upper end point and subsequently shifts
briefly in the opposite direction (reverses) in order
to automatically relieve the strain on the awning
fabric.
Requirements for correct fabric relief:
This function is only active if the
upper end point
is set to automatic/self-learning.
Function of the blockage detection system
when retracting the awning
The tubular motor stops and automatically relieves
the strain on the awning fabric by shifting briefly
in the opposite direction (reversing) in the event
that the awning is blocked by an obstacle when
retracting.
Requirements for correct blockage detection:
◆
The awning must move easily and freely.
Moving a blocked (e.g. iced-up/jammed) awn-
ing can result in overloading and damage to the
tubular motor and awning system.
◆
Do not move the iced-up/jammed awning and
rectify the fault or remove the obstacle.
