DESCRIPTION
The QCWS/QCWSU wind sensor is designed for residential use. Connected to XQ tubular motors,
wind speed is continuously monitored, triggering the control to retract the awning automatically
as needed.
INSTALLATION
The QCWS/QCWSU wind sensor is supplied in 2 parts: 1) the main body and 2) the 3 cups fan, to be
inserted, by hand pressure only, in its shaft on the main body.
The QCWS/QCWSU wind sensor must be installed with the fan downwards and it should be placed
close to the awning to make sure the wind speed is measured at the product. Guard against instal-
ling the wind sensor too close to an obstruction which could block the wind and cause erroneous
sensor readings. The sensor should not be more than 3 metres from the motor.
CONNECTIONS
(Only with motors with integrated receiver with a 4-wire power cable*. When connecting to a
control unit follow the instructions on the same).
Remove the top cover of the sensor (4 screws) and connect the two-wire cables from the sensor
terminals to the motor wires (no polarity is required). Refer to the diagram (pag. 8).
WARNING: pass the wire through the rubber because the sensor is still watertight.
WIND SENSOR SETTING
(in case of installations combined with a QC09 unit or a XQ-motor with electronic-radio limit
switch).
1. According to the GAPOSA transmitter used, select the channel / group on which you want to
change the sensitivity level of the wind sensor.
2. Press and hold simultaneously the UP, STOP and DOWN buttons until the motor makes some
movements, alternating the direction of rotation.
Note: Pay attention to the number of movements made by the motor. The number of
movements made by the motor corresponds to the level of sensitivity of the wind sensor.
3. Press the UP or DOWN button in order to increase or decrease the level of sensitivity.
The motor will move the same number of times as the new inserted level. It is possible to
chose among 5 levels of sensitivity (for the correspondence between the level chosen and the
wind speed, follow the table below).
4. To confirm the sensitivity level, within 8 sec press the STOP button. The motor will move the
same number of times as the new inserted level.
WIND - LEVEL OF SENSITIVITY
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4 (default)
Level 5
* If the cable is a 3-wire cable it is necessary to replace it with AXSPI.25 cable.
