5.14 - "FTA" Function: tensioning the canvas when open awnings fitted with a manual hook-
ing and unhooking mechanism of the awning when opening
This function is useful to eliminate the unsightly depression of the canvas that may form when the awning is open. The function may be used exclusively in awnings
that let you lock the canvas in the open position through a mechanism manually attachable and detachable by the user (e.g. the bolts in stationary canopies, roller
awnings with hooks, fixed arm awnings, etc). With the lock mechanism inserted and this function activated, during a closing manoeuvre the motor stops the awning
in correspondence to the lock mechanism, leaving the canvas taut. To unlock the awning, first send a short Down command to manually remove the lock and finally
send an UP command to the awning.
Warning! – The "FTA" function may be programmed exclusively after having programmed the limit switch heights "0" and "1".
Before starting the procedure, bring the awning to the midpoint of its stroke.
01. Keep the n key pressed and wait for the motor to perform 2 movements. Upon completion, release the key.
02. Keep the s key pressed and wait for the motor to perform 3 movements. Upon completion, release the key.
03. Keep the n and s keys pressed simultaneously and wait for the motor to perform 4 movements. Upon completion, release the keys.
04. • To activate the "FTA" function: keep the s key pressed and wait for the motor to perform 3 movements. Upon completion, release the key.
• To deactivate the "FTA" function: keep the t key pressed and wait for the motor to perform 5 movements. Upon completion, release the key.

Note – When performing the procedure, at any time you can cancel it by keeping the n and t keys pressed simultaneously for 4 seconds. Otherwise, do not press
any key and wait 60 seconds for the motor to perform 6 movements.
5.15 - "FTC" Function: tensioning the canvas when open awnings fitted with an automatic
hooking and unhooking mechanism of the awning when opening
This function is useful to eliminate the unsightly depression of the canvas that may form when the awning is open. The function may used exclusively in awnings which
allow the locking of the canvas when open, through an automatic hooking/unhooking mechanism located in the limit switch "1" (e.g. stationary canopy, roller awnings
with hooks, etc.). Normally this type of mechanism features 3 characteristic positions, located near each other: the "mechanical stop" where the canvas is hooked,
position "1" (located a few centimetres below the mechanical stop) which allows the hooking to the canvas, position "S" (located a few centimetres below position
"1") which allows the unhooking of the canvas.
• How to program position "1": this position must coincide with the height of limit switch "1". Therefore, if limit switches "0" and "1" are already programmed it will
be necessary to delete them with procedure 5.16 and adjust them again with the manual procedure (paragraph 5.6, if the awning does not have a box), or with the
semiautomatic procedure (paragraph 5.7, if the awning has a box).
• How to program position "S": this position is programmed with the following procedure (note – programming the "S" position also activates the FTC function at
the same time).
Before starting the procedure, bring the awning to the midpoint of its stroke.
01. Keep the n key pressed and wait for the motor to perform 2 movements. Upon completion, release the key.
02. Keep the s key pressed and wait for the motor to perform 3 movements. Upon completion, release the key.
03. Keep the t key pressed and wait for the motor to perform 4 movements. Upon completion, release the key.
04. Adjustment of the position "S": keep the t (or s) key pressed until the awning reaches the suitable "S" position (in addition to point "1"). For any fine adjust-
ment of this position, press the t and s keys (at each pulse the awning moves a few millimetres).
05. Keep the n key pressed and wait for the motor to perform 3 movements. Upon completion, release the key.
