ENGLISH
DESCRIPTION
The QCWS wind sensor is designed for residential use. Connected to AXIAL tubular motors,
wind speed is continuously monitored, triggering the control to retract the awning automati-
cally as needed.
INSTALLATION
The QCWS wind sensor is supplied in 2 parts: 1) the main body and 2) the 3 cups fan, to be
inserted, by hand pressure only, in its shaft on the main body.
The QCWS wind sensor must be installed with the fan downwards and it should be placed
close to the awning to make sure the wind speed is measured at the product. Guard against
installing the wind sensor too close to an obstruction which could block the wind and cause
erroneous sensor readings. The sensor should not be more than 3 metres from the motor.
CONNECTIONS
(Only with motors with electronic limit switch and integrated receiver with a 4-wire power
cable*. When connecting to a control unit follow the instructions on the same).
Remove the top cover of the sensor (4 screws) and connect the two-wire cables from the sen-
sor terminals to the motor wires (no polarity is required). Refer to the diagram (pag. 6).
WARNING: pass the wire through the rubber because the sensor is still watertight.
WIND SENSOR SETTING (in case of installations combined with a QC09 unit or a XQ-motor
with electronic-radio limit switch).
1. According to the GAPOSA transmitter used, select the channel / group on which you want
to change the sensitivity level of the wind sensor.
2. Press and hold simultaneously the UP, STOP and DOWN buttons until the motor makes
some movements, alternating the direction of rotation.
Note: Pay attention to the number of movements made by the motor. The number of
movements made by the motor corresponds to the level of sensitivity of the wind
sensor.
3. Press the UP or DOWN button in order to increase or decrease the level of sensitivity. The
motor will move the same number of times as the new inserted level. It is possible to chose
among 5 levels of sensitivity (for the correspondence between the level chosen and the
wind speed, follow the table below).
4. To confirm the sensitivity level, within 8 sec press the STOP button. The motor will move the
same number of times as the new inserted level.
*If the cable is a 3-wire cable it
is necessary to replace it with
AXSPI.25 cable
