8. 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 can be
controlled again after this 30 second period.
9. 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. Often it is best to use this function as the method described
above does not work on all motor types.
10. SAFETY FUNCTION
When connected to the Alpha Cassette awning or Universal 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.
