Automatically protects your awning in the wind — even when you're not home. The wind sensor detects awning movements caused by wind gusts between 18 - 24 mph. As vibrations are detected by the sensor, it automatically sends a retract command to your PERGOLUX Awning's motor when safety thresholds are reached. This means you don't have to rush home when the weather turns — the awning protects itself. Reliably detects wind speed shifts using 3D vibration technology Trigger threshold is individually adjustable across 6 different levels Instantly sends the retract command to the awning using a radio signal Protects against storm damage and costly repairs Works even when you're on vacation or at work Up to 4 years of battery life (2x AAA, lithium recommended) Emergency retract command when battery is low 2-minute installation — no drilling, no electrician: The sensor is attached behind the awning's front aluminum profile using the included 3M adhesive tape and paired with the motor via wireless remote. No wiring, no tools needed. Included in shipment: sensor and 3M adhesive tape. Batteries not included. Compatible with the PERGOLUX Awning.
