Mode and Threshold Selection - Awning
1 - Open the hatch by pressing the latch toward the hatch and pulling outward (Fig 1)
2 - Inside the hatch you will see the Rain and Sun threshold adjustment pots, the DEMO and
Program Buttons and the Mode Dip Switches (Fig 2).
Latch
3 - Do not remove the sticker over dip switches 3 and 4. Only Dip switches 1 and 2 will be
Latch
used to select the Mode for normal Awning use.
4 - Select the desired mode using dip switches 1 and 2. Dips 3 and 4 should remain off.

5 - In Awning Rain mode (A), the SRS will run the awning in when the rain rate exceeds
the set rain threshold.
6 - In Awning Sun mode* (B), the SRS will run the awning in after about 15-30 min with the
sun below the set sun threshold and out after about 2 min with the sun above the threshold.
7 - In Awning Rain & Sun mode* (C), the rain and sun functions are both active but a rain
event will override the sun function until the rain rate falls below the set threshold for 5 min.
8 - The Sun and Rain threshold adjustment pots can be turned 280 deg from the minimum
setting to the maximum. (Fig 3)
9 - The Rain threshold (Fig 4) can be set from:
Min (fully CCW) = Very Light Rain/Heavy Mist/Heavy Condensation
Max (fully CW) = Very Heavy Rain.
10 - The Sun threshold (Fig 5) can be set from
Min (fully CCW) = approx 0.5klux - Facing sun with heavy cloud cover

11- LED indicators, The rain and sun LEDs will blink when conditions are above the

threshold, continuously in DEMO mode and every 5 sec in normal mode.
Note; In order for the SRS to activate a motor in response to sun, the sun function of the motor
must be enabled. To enable this feature, a Soliris Transmitter must be used and therefore
programmed to the motor.

5 - In S/S Rain mode (E), the SRS will send a down command when the rain rate exceeds
the set rain threshold and will not send another rain command until the rain falls below the
rain threshold for 5 min and then goes above the threshold again..
6 - In S/S Rain & Sun mode (F), Rain functions as per Mode E. A rain event will lock out the
sun function until it falls below the threshold for 5 min. Sun light detected over the sun
threshold for 2 min will cause a down (out) command. Sunlight under the threshold for 15min
will cause an up (in) command
7 - In S/S Rain & Auto mode (G), Rain functions as per Mode E. When the rain falls below
the rain threshold for 5 min continuous, the sensor will send an automatic up command.
8 - The Sun and Rain threshold adjustment pots can be turned 280 deg from the minimum
setting to the maximum. (Fig 3)
9 - The Rain threshold (Fig 4) can be set from:
Min (fully CCW) = Very Light Rain/Heavy Mist/Heavy Condensation
Max (fully CW) = Very Heavy Rain.
10 - The Sun threshold (Fig 5) can be set from
Min (fully CCW) = approx 0.5klux - Facing sun with heavy cloud cover
Max (Fully CW) = approx 55klux - Facing direct summer sun with no cloud cover
