(thus protecting the awning against the wind);
c) the Led must flash red briefly several times (=
threshold exceeded).
03. Now stop the blades and check: a) the Led must
flash briefly red and green alternately several times
(= return to within threshold); b) the sensor must
deactivate the protection function: send a trans-
mitter command to the motor, the awning should
respond.
04. Now, turn the "Wind" trimmer CW to the desired
setting(*), outside the "Test" zone.
(*) - this value can be changed later with the procedure
and values given in chapter 7.
7 - SETTING THE CLIMATIC SENSOR TRIP
VALUE
You must set the "trip value" of the climatic sensors,
i.e. a value above (or below) which the sensor trips and
sends a wireless command to the receiver in which it
is memorized.
• Operation of the "WIND" setpoint (fig. 5) – The
wind sensor, only on WSRT models, measures the
windspeed in real time; when it exceeds the setpoint,
after 3 seconds the sensor transmits the Up command
to the motor and blocks manual controls.
When the windspeed drops below the setpoint, after 4
minutes the sensor sends a signal to the motor, thus
releasing it to receive manual commands. After 10 min-
utes (about) automatic operation is restored.
• Operation of the "SUN" setpoint (fig. 6) – The sun
sensor measures the brightness of the sunlight in real
time; when it exceeds the setpoint, after 2 minutes the
sensor sends the Down command to the motor.
When the brightness drops below the setpoint value,
after 15 minutes the sensor sends the Up command
to the motor.
• Operation of the "RAIN" sensor (fig. 7) – The rain
sensor operates in ON/OFF mode and has no setpoint
adjustment. When it starts to rain or snow the sensor
7 – English
sends the Up command to the motor (factory setting:
for some motors this can be changed to Down. Refer
to the motor manual). Manual commands can be sent
at any time.
Setting the "Sun" and "Wind" sensor setpoints
(fig. 8)
01. Shut off power to the sensor and wait for 2 seconds.
02. Turn the "Sun" trimmer to the desired setting.
Important – Setting the trimmer to its maximum
value (at the end of its CW rotation) disables the
Sun sensor.
03. Turn the "Wind" trimmer to the desired setting (if
present).
04. Restore power to the sensor.
05. Make sure that Led "L1" flashes red and green al-
ternately.
06. To terminate the procedure, wait for the flashing to
stop.
8 - DIAGNOSTICS
You can enable "DIAGNOSTICS mode" at any time to
check whether the weather conditions at the time are
above or below the setpoint values and to identify mal-
functions.
To enable diagnostics, press "P1" briefly and wait 1
second for the red Led to stop flashing. Now watch
the Led and check the sequences of flashes against
Table A. Note – If several thresholds are exceeded
during normal operation (for example, wind and rain to-
gether), the diagnostics signals only the one which has
the lower number in Table A .
Caution! – Diagnostics mode can only be used for
reading signals off the Leds, not for operating the
awning.
Note – To check whether the device is really faulty, sim-
ply run the calibration procedures given in chapter 6.
Table A - Led diagnostics signals
Red Led on (*) (for 3 seconds) = The wind
1
setpoint has been exceeded
Orange Led on (for 3 seconds) = The rain
2
setpoint has been exceeded
Green Led on (for 3 seconds) = The sun
3
setpoint has been exceeded
Red Led flashing (*) (0.5 second intervals for
3 seconds) = Self-test: wind sensor fault. The
4
sensor has not detected variation in the wind
speed in the last 24 hours
Orange Led flashing (0.5 second intervals
for 3 seconds) = Self-test: rain sensor fault.
5
The sensor has not detected rain (or snow)
for 30 days
Green Led flashing (for 3 seconds) = Self-
test: sun sensor fault. The sensor has not
6
detected variation in the sunlight in the last
24 hours
7
Led off = No setpoint exceeded
(*) = Not present on SRT models
9 - BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING
If the wind speed or sun brightness are in excess
of their setpoints, or it is raining but the motor is
not responding as it should, check that the sensor
is powered correctly and memorized in the motor's re-
ceiver (see chapters 4 and 5). If this does not solve the
problem, check the operation of the sensor by running
the diagnostics described in chapter 8.
