COMMAND SEQUENCES EXAMPLE
Most of the command sequences have three distinct steps, at the end of which the motor
indicates if the step has been concluded positively or not, by turning in different ways.This
section is provided to demonstrate the motor indications.The buttons must be pressed as
shown in the sequence, without taking more than 4 seconds between one step and the
next. If more than 4 seconds are taken, the command is not accepted and the sequence
must be repeated.
Command sequence example:
As we can see from the example, when the sequence ends positively, the motor returns to
its starting position in one long rotation. In fact, two short rotations in the same direction
correspond to one long rotation in the opposite direction.The motor returns to the starting
position even when the sequence is not completed; in this case by performing one or two
short rotations.

The base is attached to the terminal bar with M4 screws
(not included) or the double-sided adhesive already found
on the back. Inside of the base,there is an arrow that enables
the identication of the proper direction for assembly of the sensor: put arrow upwards.
The sensor must be assembled parallel with the end bar.
Attention: do not insert the sensor inside of the end bar prole but install
the sensor on the internal side of the end bar, at the end closest to the motor or to the
control unit or in any event within 10 metres.
22
INSTALLATION
The sensor is housed in a plastic container made up
of two parts: a base attached to the terminal bar
and a snap-on shell.
The shell contains the sensor processor board,
the battery compartment and the programming
commands.
Best Position: internal side of the bar.
Make sure that there is enough space and MISTRAL does not get damaged by
closing the awning!

To associate the sensor to a motor, a remote control must be already memorised on the
motor. The setting sequence is the following:
At this point, do not assemble the sensor shell on the base.
Note: to check proper memorisation, press the SET button briey again: the awning should
move about half way through its path. When the check is completed, open the awning
once again.

• Press the buttons on the remote control in this sequence:A+B and B, and then the SET
button for 2 seconds on the Mistral sensor; until the motor performs the conrmation
movement (around 2 second).
The vibration detection threshold is set by choosing one of the positions on the rotating
selector, from 1 (light vibrations) to 9 (strong vibrations). The proper threshold setting for
each type of awning must be determined, through trial and error. Start out by setting a
middle value (e.g. 5) and then activate the sensor. After activation it will be possible to
perform tests to nd the best threshold.

ENGLISH

SENSOR TEST OPERATION
When the sensor has detected its rest position it will run in test mode for the rst three
minutes of operation: in case of alarm the awning will close but without application
of the eight-minute period when reopening is disabled, which is what occurs in normal
operational mode.
During these 3 minutes it is necessary to:
- Verify the alarm threshold for wind caused vibrations;
- Verify the absence of alarms when opening the awning.
VERIFY WIND ALARM THRESHOLD
Open the awning completely. Apply a vibration to the end bar, gradually increasing its
amplitude, until the motor closes the awning.
If the awning closes even with slight vibrations, then the threshold set is too low.
If the awning does not close, even when applying large amplitude vibrations, then the
threshold set is too high, or there is a malfunction in the radio communications between
the sensor and the motor.
Whilst the awning is closing, it is possible to use the remote control to stop it and open
it back again.
Note: to properly check the wind alarm threshold, the vibrations have to be applied
constantly for at least 5 seconds.
VERIFY ABSENCE OF ALARMS
To complete the checks, make sure that the sensor detects no alarms from vibrations or
changes in the slope that might be caused by the awning’s structure when moving.
If the end bar vibrates notably when opening or closing the sensor could detect an
unwanted alarm condition.
Close the awning completely and wait at least 15 seconds. Give the open command and
verify that the awning opens completely.
If the awning stops and closes may be due to excessive vibrations on the end bar: in this
case, increase the vibration detection threshold.
To change the thresholds set, unsnap the shell, deactivate the sensor and then
reactivate it.
25
ATTENTION!!! To avoid any hazardous situations, before unsnapping the shell,
see the proper procedure in the section: “DISABLE THE SENSOR”.

DELETING THE SENSOR
To delete the Mistral sensor from the motor, an already programmed remote control must
be used. The deleting sequence is the following:
TnTn 2 sec
set
Following a wind alarm, the motor closes automatically the awning, overriding user
commands until the wind alarm passes (8 minutes). If the automatic reopening function
is active, after 8 minutes the awning returns to the position it was before the alarm. This
waiting time is set to ensure the awning protection and to prevent continuous motor
movement in the event of sporadic gusts of wind.
ACTIVATING AUTOMATIC REOPENING
Tn Tn Tn (2 sec)
With the automatic reopening system, at the end of the wind alarm, the awning opens
again. From factory this function is not activated in the motor, but can be easily activated
with the following command sequence:

To make any changes to the alarm trip thresholds, to change the batteries or to perform
any other programming operation, the shell must be unsnapped from its base.To perform
this procedure, without the sensor tripping an alarm that will close the awning, creating
a potentially hazardous situation for persons in the vicinity, it’s necessary to disable the
MISTRAL (check paragraph DISABLE THE SENSOR).
When the batteries are almost drained, the LED will ash regularly every two seconds.
Change the batteries.
When changing the batteries, it’s possible to use the Automatic Deactivation of
the sensor:
- Unsnap the shell from the base
- Rotate the shell and keep it vertical for
around 3 seconds
- The sensor will automatically deactivate.
To enable the sensor once again, follow the activation procedure as indicated
on page 23.

DISABLE THE SENSOR
To deactivate the MISTRAL proceed as following:
- Open the awning completely and wait for at least ten seconds after the terminal bar has
stopped moving before beginning to unsnap the sensor.
- Press both snap hooks sideways at the same time while pulling the shell downward,
until it comes away from its base. Use no tools for this procedure (screwdrivers, or
similar items).
- As soon as the shell has been unsnapped, rotate the selector to the 0 position: the LED
will then ash three times slowly (0.5 seconds ON - 0.5 seconds OFF), to conrm the
fact that the sensor has been deactivated and cannot trip an alarm.
MAINTENANCE
CHANGING BATTERIES
When the new batteries are placed, the sensor will reactivate automatically: just snap
again the shell on the base.
Under normal use conditions, the batteries should last over two years. In any event, it is
suggested that the batteries be changed at the beginning of each new season.
