Sensitivity switch

2. Threshold Adjustment

Using the supplied screwdriver, select a sensitivity between 1-9. 1 being the most sensitive and 9

being the least sen sitive. A setting of 0 is a user defined sensitivity setting as explained on the next

page.

3. Pre-Defined Threshold Adjustment

Select the desired sensitivity (4 – 7 will suit most awnings but always test once installation is

complete to be sure) .

Awning shaking angle

Example: Sensitivity Level 4 = the front bar is being shaken by + or – 2.5 degrees off level.

Next insert the clip end of the inner casing.

Place the cover over the mounting plate and click into place with a small sideways push.

Then press the other end down and it will click in.

Testing the Threshold Settings

Ensure remote is on the correct channel for the awning if multi-channel. Test the awning for correct

direction from its remote. The top button must close the awning and the bottom button must open it. If

not, change the direction of operation and reset the motor limits as per the motors instructions. This step

is crucial as the Alpha motion sensor will only work this way and damage to the awning may occur if

this is not correct. Shake the awning up and down to simulate the level of wind you wish to protect the

awning against. If the awning does not retract after 6 seconds of shaking then remove the cover and set

the sensitivity switch to a lower level and try again until satisfied. Also double check the orientation

terminals are set properly for the mounting position.

Do not test by shaking the sensor in your hand as it will not function unless it is attached to the mounting

base.

4. Setting the User Defined Threshold ( if desired )

4.1 Switch the sensitivity switch to 0.

4.2 Re-assemble the motion sensor and connect to the awning

4.3 After installation and the awning is still, it is in the personalized threshold setting mode.

4.4 Shake the awning manually to simulate the maximum level of wind vibration allowed until

the awing closes automatically. If the awning close s satisfactorily on testing afterwards, it means the

motion sensor is set correctly. If the awning does not close, set the sensitivity to a lower level of

movement using the Personalized Threshold Resetting instructions below and test again.

4.5 Personalized Threshold Resetting

Open the awning with its remote, remove the outer cover from the base and wait for 5s, Slide the

outer cover back onto the base and follow the above operations 4.3 & 4.4

Operation of the Motion Sensor:

Once the motion sensor is installed and tested, it will issue the motor with an "IN" command whenever

the awning shakes to the set sensitivity level for 6 seconds.

At this time the motion sensor will lock out control of the motor for 30 seconds. The awning ca n be

controlled again after this 30 second period.

Deleting the Motion Sensor

Hold motion sensor's learning button until the LED starts flashing, release the learning button . The LED

will flash for a total of 6 times, the motor will jiggle once, the motion sensor is now deleted and has no

control of the motor. Note: Using the "Delete all remotes" sequence from the remote control will also

delete the motion sensor along with the other controllers.

Safety function:

When connected to the Alpha "Cassette Awning" motor, the motion sensor will send a signal to the

motor several times an hour to let the motor know it's still protecting the awning. If the motor does not

receive this signal for a period of one hour after being opened, it will close automatically as a protective

measure. This is a sign that there is either a fault with the motion sensor or far more likely, the batteries

have gone flat. If this happens, replace the 2 x AAA alkaline batteries right away.

This safety function will not work with the Alpha "Universal" motors, although the motion sensor will

control this motor so long as the motion sensor is functioning.
