3. MOUNTING
It’s very important that the sensor be mounted so that the wind cups are as level as possible, as per the diagrams above. Failure to
do so may create friction that makes it harder for the cups to spin, thus affecting the performance and reliability of the device. Also
ensure that the device is mounted in an area that receives the same wind conditions as the awning if using wind sensing, and also
full sunlight during the day if using the sun sensing for control purposes. Make sure to test for connection between the device and-
the motor once set up.

Wind speed testing mode.
Real time wind speed is detected for example, if 1.0 is displayed, then the actual current wind speed is 10km/h
Light intensity testing mode.
Real time testing of light intensity, for example, if 10 is displayed, then the actual lux level is 10,000.
(see note below for extra information)
1. Protection from strong winds.
Note: In light intensity testing mode, the display shows the light intensity from 1,000 to 100,000 lux. Below 1,000 lux it will show 00 and
above 100,000 it will show 99. All other readings are simply multiplied x 1,000. Unit will time out after 3 minutes if untouched in that time.
2. Control by light sensing.
Press LEFT button 4 times. The dot in the middle is always on.
Check display for wind speed reading.
Press the RIGHT button to bring
the unit out of testing mode.
Press RIGHT button 4 times. The dot in the corner is always on.
Check display for light intensity reading.
Press the LEFT button to bring
the unit out of testing mode.
As long as the wind speed is higher than the set
limit, it’s not possible to open the awning by
any method. The remote commands and sun
sensing both become invalid.
If the wind speed falls below the set level
for 30 continuous seconds, normal
operation will resume.
If the wind speed exceeds the set limit for
longer than 6 seconds, an order will be issued
for the motor to close the awning.
If the light intensity setting is exceeded for
10 minutes, the motor will be told to open
an awning or drop a blind.
If the light intensity drops below the set level
for 10 minutes, the motor will be told to close
the awning or raise a blind.

Sun and Wind Sensor QUICK GUIDE
Please read detailed instruction.original instructions for more
a problem.Particularly if there is
1. Power.
If using the RS001 solar powered unit, be aware it does not arrive charged and will usually require at
least half a day in the sun before there is enough charge to set it up. Full charge will take several days
to complete.
2. Assigning the device to the motor.
A. Using the remote (and channel) that controls the motor, Press up and down together and release.
Then press the stop button 8 times. The motor will jiggle.
B. Repeatedly press the learn button on the sun/wind sensor firmly in 1 second intervals until the
motor jiggles again. When it jiggles, the sensor is assigned.
From the time the motor gives its first jiggle, you have 10 seconds to assign the sensor before the
motor times out. If it times out you will need to start again with step A.
Note: If you have difficulty assigning the sensor, it may not have enough charge in it. See section 1.
3. Setting the Wind level
Hold down the wind setting button until the digit above starts to flash then release. Now tap the
same button until the desired wind setting is displayed. Tap the light setting button to exit the wind
setup and the flashing will stop.
0 = Off, 1 = 10 kmh, 2 = 15 kmh, 3 = 20 kmh, 4 = 30 kmh, 5 = 40 kmh
4. Setting the Light level
Note: it is not recommended to use the light control for folding arm awnings unless you want the
awning out every day of the year including potentially when it is raining. Light control is more suited
to straight drop blinds and awnings.
Hold down the Light setting button until the digit above starts to flash then release. Now tap the
same button until the desired light setting is displayed. Tap the wind setting button to exit the light
setup and the flashing will stop.
0 = Off, 1 = 2000 Lux, 2 = 5000 Lux, 3 = 10,000 Lux, 4 = 20,000 Lux, 5 = 40,000 Lux,
6 = 60,000 Lux, 7 = 70,000 Lux, 8 = 80,000 Lux, 9 = 90,000 Lux.
5. Testing connection to the motor
A. Set the wind speed to 1 for easiest testing. Partially open the awning.
B. Spin the cups continuously for at least 6 seconds. Your finger will produce
unreliable spinning consistency. A blower, hair dryer, can of compressed air
or even blowing will usually give better results. If the motor reacts, the unit
is operating.
6. Make sure the unit is mounted so that the wind cups spin level with the
ground to avoid unwanted friction and unreliable performance. Also ensure
the mounting position gets the same wind as the awning.
