In brief:<\/strong> A wind sensor measures wind speed or the movement of the awning and retracts it automatically when the wind is too strong. A sun sensor extends it in sunshine. With a radio awning motor, the sensor is simply paired; cable motors need a control unit.<\/p>\n

With radio motor<\/h2>\n

The A-OK AM45E<\/a> ist mit eingebautem Funkempf\u00e4nger (433 MHz) erh\u00e4ltlich und l\u00e4sst sich mit Wind- und Sonnensensor kombinieren. Zus\u00e4tzlich hat er eine Nothandkurbel \u2013 die Markise l\u00e4sst sich auch bei Stromausfall einfahren.<\/p>\n

With cable motor<\/h2>\n

With a cable motor such as the A-OK AM45 mechanical<\/a> the sensor needs a control unit that switches the motor. The wind command always has priority over the push button.<\/p>\n

Setting the threshold<\/h2>\n

Set the wind threshold rather low \u2013 better retracted once too early than a bent folding arm. Observe the awning manufacturer\u2019s specifications on permissible wind load.<\/p>\n

Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n

Does the awning retract during a power cut?<\/h3>\n

No \u2013 the sensor needs power. With the AM45E, the awning can be cranked in by hand.<\/p>\n

Can I retrofit a sensor without running cables?<\/h3>\n

Yes, with a radio motor and a radio-based sensor.<\/p>\n
