AAG Bear MOT4001 Operating instructions

Programming Guide
IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE:
All Bear awning motors require isolation during installation and for
subsequent servicing. It is highly recommended that each awning is fitted
with a 3-pin plug and connected to an external GPO or similar accessible
isolation point. Hard wiring is to be avoided where possible.
