DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT
The VIBE sensor detects vibrations of the end part of the awning
due to wind and if the threshold set is surpassed, using a closure
command.
Using 2 buttons and 5 leds, you can set the vibration threshold
sensor and save the device on the remote control units to pilot.
Main characteristics:
•
Power supply with 2 AAA alkaline batteries
•
Radio interface between the sensor and the remote control
units at 434.15 MHz
•
Setting the threshold of the vibration sensor using the KEYS +
LED interface
•
Procedure to associate the sensor with the remote control
units
•
Protection: IP55
•
Working temperature: -20° C / +60° C
SENSOR OPERATION
The sensor constantly monitors the awning vibration due to wind
using an accelerometer and compares it with the level set:
1.
if a level over that set is detected for more than 3 seconds,
the sensor transmits the awning closure command; the
remote control unit blocks for 60min.
2.
if a level under that set is detected for more than 8 minutes,
the sensor transmits the release command to the remote
control unit.
SAVING THE SENSOR IN THE REMOTE
CONTROL UNIT
1.
Position yourself close to the remote control to pilot
ATTENTION: if the remote control used is multichannel,
before proceeding, select the channel saved on the control
unit
2.
Press and kept pressed the UP and DOWN keys on the
remote control until the motor starts to move in one direction
3.
Release the keys: the motor stops
4.
Within 8 seconds, press the P1 VIBE key for at least 2 seconds
5.
To check correct saving, press key P1 again: the awning must
be activated in CLOSURE.
On the contrary, repeat the procedure.
SENSOR INSTALLATION
m
ATTENTION: The sensor must be fastened to the end
bar near the end of the awning to protect. The arrow
outlined on the base (Fig. 4A) must be turned upwards.
m
ATTENTION: check there are no other devices working
on the same frequency (434.15 MHz) and with continuous
transmissions with alarms, headset, etc. which could
interfere with transmission between the sensor and the
control unit.
Installation of multiple VIBE sensors in the same zone could
create the same problem.
Before fastening the device, check the radio capacity is sufficient:
1.
Open the container and insert the batteries (Fig.2)
2.
Save the sensor on the control unit
3.
Position the device in the point planned for installation and
temporarily fasten it with the two-sided tape supplied
4.
Press key P1 and check the awning is closed
Fasten the sensor to the bar:
1.
Mark the position of the sensor on the awning bar
2.
Remove the sensor and the two-sided tape
3.
Fasten base A of the sensor to the position marked using the
screws to directly screw onto the bar of the awning
4.
Insert the cover B on the sensor C and close the screw D
5.
Assemble the sensor on the base and close the screw E
