ADJUSTING THE MOTOR LIMITS
The tubular motor limit switches are preset at the factory for best operation of the awning. There are no
limit switches on the right angle gear motor. The retract function is controlled by the BT12 system and both
motor types use the “Extend Limit Switch” to adjust the maximum extension of the awning.
Extend Limit Switch
A separate Extend Limit Switch disables the extend function when the awning is fully extended. This
prevents the awning from overextending and can be adjusted so that the canopy is tight when the awning is
extended.
The switch is located on the arm knuckle closest to the motor (i.e. right knuckle for RH motor, left knuckle
for LH motor).
To adjust the extension:
1. Open the awning to access the switch.
2. Loosen the screw.
3. Move the switch toward the arm to decrease the
extension.
4. Move the switch away from the arm to increase the
extension.
Replacement Tubular Motor Limit Switches
When replacing a tubular motor, it may be necessary to adjust the motor’s limit switches to allow the control
system to correctly monitor and control the awning.
The limit switches are located inside the motor endcap. To access the switches remove the outer motor endcap.
IN
LIMIT SWITCH
The "IN" limit switch on the tubular motor is not adjusted when the BT12 system is installed. The system
electronics monitors the motor and shuts the motor off when the awning is fully retracted.
If the "IN" limit switch is out of adjustment, the motor may shut off before the awning is fully closed. If this
occurs, turn the "IN" adjustment screw
CLOCKWISE. It is not necessary that the screw position matches the
closed position. The BT12 electronics controls the closed position.
OUT
LIMIT SWITCH
The "OUT" limit switch on the tubular motor is not used when the BT12 system is installed. The Extend
Limit Switch disables the extend function when the awning is fully extended.
If the "OUT" limit switch is out of adjustment, the motor may shut off before the awning is fully extended. If
this occurs, turn the "OUT" adjustment screw
CLOCKWISE. It is not necessary that the screw position
matches the open position. The Extend Limit Switch controls the open position.
