2. 4. TIPS AND ADVICE ON INSTALLATION
2. 4. 1. Questions about the Orea WT?
Problems Possible causes Solutions
The awning
rotates in the
wrong direction.
The wiring is incorrect. Check the wiring and modify as required.
The awning does
not operate. The wiring is incorrect. Check the wiring and modify as required.
The overheating protection on
the drive has been activated. Wait for the drive to cool down.
The control point is
not compatible. Check the compatibility and replace the control point as required.
The awning stops
too soon. The awning is encountering friction when it moves: rubbing
on the guide rails and cassette,
interference between the
winding tube and the drive, etc.
Check the installation of the awning and
adjust any rubbing points.

2. 4. 3. Advanced functions
1Contact the manufacturer of the driven product before using these functions to ensure
that they are compatible with your installation.
Obstacle detection function
This function is used to increase or decrease the obstacle detection sensitivity of the awning

By default, the drive is factory-set to medium sensitivity.
Before starting the setting procedure, place the awning at its half-way position.
To activate this function:
1) Press the "Up" and "Down" buttons until the awning
moves back and forth.
2) Press the "Up" or "Down" buttons until the awning
moves back and forth to adjust the obstacle detection
level.
a)
A brief back and forth movement indicates that
obstacle detection is set to medium sensitivity.
b)
A long back and forth movement indicates that
obstacle detection is set to either low or high
sensitivity.
3) Press the "Up" and "Down" buttons until the awning
moves back and forth.
The last level is saved.
