Test Switch Function – Single Switch Installation (this test requires a continuity tester)
The Patio Switch used in the Single Switch Installation is a center on that is internally cross-wired to short in the
center position to provide dynamic braking for the motor to prevent "drift" when the awning is stopped.
Test 1 is for Series I & II switches. Use Test 2 for Series III switches.
Observe continuity for switch in center position, extend position and retract position.
