Power Switch
•
Power ON
- The On position activates the
Patio Awning switch and the Auto-Retract
system as well as provides power to the
awning.
•
Power OFF
- The Off position shuts down the
system. The awning cannot be extended or
retracted in this mode. The Auto-Retract
system is also disabled.
Wind Sensor Auto-Retract Feature
If the Wind Sensor is activated, the system
will automatically retract the patio awning during
windy conditions. Sensitivity threshold is set on
the control panel.
Wind Speed Switch
(High/Low)
Low requires the least amount of motion
before automatically closing the awning. High
requires more motion before the system
automatically closes the awning. You may want
to experiment first to find the setting that best
suits your needs.
NOTE: The Windsensor Auto-Retract system is
on when the Awning Power switch is On
and is off when the Awning Power switch
is set to Off. If the power is shut off while
the awning is extended, the awning is not
protected by the Auto-Retract system.
The system uses a sensor in the motor head to
detect awning motion during windy conditions
and gauges vertical motion. When persistent
motion exceeds the factory preset threshold for
two seconds or longer, the awning will retract
automatically.
Gust detection is incorporated into the Direct
Response software. When the motion value is
suddenly and sharply increased above a safe
maximum value, the two second persistence
measure is overridden and the awning will close
immediately.
Entry Door Awning Operation
1. Turn the Awning Power switch ON.
2. Use the Door Awning switch to extend or
retract the awning as desired.
Ignition Lockout System
The ignition lockout system will disable the
extend function while the vehicle ignition key is
in the On position. With this feature, the awning
will only extend when the vehicle ignition key is
in the Off position. The awning can retract
anytime regardless of the ignition key position.
Further Information
For complete operating instructions, refer to
the manufacturer’s information provided in your
InfoCase.
STEPWELL COVER
The stepwell cover can be extended to cover
the stepwell area and increase usable floor space
in the front of the coach while the entrance door
is not in use.
•
Press and Hold the Step Cover switch (located
on the passenger side armrest). Release when
the stepwell cover has extended or retracted
fully.
CAUTION
The Auto-Retract feature provides
protection against adverse elements, but
no Auto-Retract system is a guarantee
against severe or destructive weather.
The effects of wind and rain on an awning
are unpredictable and may cause severe
damage to the awning and/or vehicle. If a
situation arises where wind or extended
periods of rain are expected, retract the
awning.
