5.15 - “FTC” Function: tensioning the canvas when open awnings fitted with an automatic

hooking and unhooking mechanism of the awning when opening

This function is useful to eliminate the unsightly depression of the canvas that may form when the awning is open. The function may used exclusively in awnings which

allow the locking of the canvas when open, through an automatic hooking/unhooking mechanism located in the limit switch “1” (e.g. stationary canopy, roller awnings

with hooks, etc.). Normally this type of mechanism features 3 characteristic positions, located near each other: the “mechanical stop” where the canvas is hooked,

position “1” (located a few centimetres below the mechanical stop) which allows the hooking to the canvas, position “S” (located a few centimetres below position

“1”) which allows the unhooking of the canvas.

• How to program position “1”: this position must coincide with the height of limit switch “1”. Therefore, if limit switches “0” and “1” are already programmed it will

be necessary to delete them with procedure 5.16 and adjust them again with the manual procedure (paragraph 5.6, if the awning does not have a box), or with the

semiautomatic procedure (paragraph 5.7, if the awning has a box).

• How to program position “S”: this position is programmed with the following procedure (note – programming the “S” position also activates the FTC function at

the same time).

01. Keep the n key pressed and wait for the motor to perform 2 movements. Upon completion, release the key.

02. Keep the s key pressed and wait for the motor to perform 3 movements. Upon completion, release the key.

03. Keep the t key pressed and wait for the motor to perform 4 movements. Upon completion, release the key.

04. Adjustment of the position “S”: keep the t (or s) key pressed until the awning reaches the suitable “S” position (in addition to point “1”). For any fine adjust-

ment of this position, press the t and s keys (at each pulse the awning moves a few millimetres).

05. Keep the n key pressed and wait for the motor to perform 3 movements. Upon completion, release the key.

Note – When performing the procedure, you can cancel it at any time by keeping the n and t keys pressed simultaneously for 4 seconds. Otherwise, do not press

any key and wait 60 seconds for the motor to perform 6 movements.
