TECHNICAL FEATURES
There are two versions of the WindTec sensor:
- WindTec: Wind sensor
- WindTec Lux : Wind & Sun sensor.
COMPATIBILITY
According to the motor/control unit to which the WindTec is associated, the
availability of certain features changes as indicated in the following table:
only with WindTec Lux
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

- WINDTEC LUX A520008
LUX FUNCTION
ATTENTION! The light function in model “WindTec Lux” can be activated
only by using a remote control series SKIPPER, GIRO or POP with the LUX
function (Skipper Lux / Skipper P-Lux, Giro Lux / Giro P-Lux or POP Lux / POP
P-Lux).

COMPATIBLE REMOTE CONTROLS
KEY TO SYMBOLS
COMMAND SEQUENCES EXAMPLE
Most of the command sequences have three distinct steps, at the end of which
the motor indicates if the step has been concluded positively or not, by
turning in different ways. This section is provided to demonstrate the motor
indications. The buttons must be pressed as shown in the sequence, without
taking more than 4 seconds between one step and the next. If more than 4
seconds are taken, the command is not accepted and the sequence must be
repeated. Command sequence example:
- As we can see from the example, when the sequence ends positively, the motor returns to its starting position in one long rotation. In fact, two short rotations in the same direction correspond to one long rotation in the opposite direction. The motor returns to the starting position even when the sequence is not completed; in this case by performing one or two short rotations. Example of a wrong sequence:
ATTENTION! WHERE TO PLACE THE WIND & SUN SENSOR
The WindTec sensor must be positioned to the side, as close as possible to its
awning, and not above or below the awning coverage area.
SETTING OF SEVERAL MOTORS TO ONE SENSOR
One single WindTec sensor can be used to automate a group of motorized
awnings. For a correct function, the coupled awnings must be mounted and
exposed to sunlight and wind in the same way. Do not connect more than 5
motors to one wind sensor.
CAUTION: To avoid ‘overcrowding’ of radio transmissions, resulting in malfunctioning of the sensors and other radio equipment themselves, it is necessary to minimize the density of installed sensors by associating several motors/control units with the same sensor, bearing in mind that each sensor can work effectively within a range of 10 to 15 meters and that a maximum of 5 sensors may be installed within the same 10 to 15-meter range.
FITTING THE WIND & SUN SENSOR
The WindTec sensor has a positioning mechanism for fitting to any surface. To adjust the fitting angle, press the button to rotate the support (see drawing).
SETTING THE WIND & SUN SENSOR
To associate the WindTec sensor to a motor, a remote control must be already
memorized on the motor. The setting sequence is the following:
Tn: Already programmed remote control
DELETING THE WIND & SUN SENSOR
To delete the WindTec sensor from the motor, an already programmed remote
control must be used. The deleting sequence is the following:
Tn: Already programmed remote control
SETTING THE WIND SENSOR
The wind level point can be set using the button provided in the lower part of
the WindTec sensor, identified by the windsock symbol. The speed can be set
from a minimum of 7,5 Km/h to a maximum of 45 Km/h.
WARNING: It’s prudent not to set the wind speed over the fourth level, which corresponds to 35 Km/h.
Following a wind alarm, the motor closes automatically the awning, overriding user commands until the wind alarm passes. To deactivate the wind alarm, the wind speed must remain below the set level for at least 8 minutes. After these 8 minutes the awning returns to the position it was in before the alarm if the automatic reopening function is active. This pause time is included to ensure awning protection and to prevent continuous motor movement in the event of sporadic gusts of wind.
ACTIVATING AUTOMATIC REOPENING
only with WAVE RX / SENSO RX / ORA ZRX / REBIS ZRX motors
With the automatic reopening system, at the end of the wind alarm, the awning
opens again. From the factory, this function is not activated in the motor but
can be easily activated with the following command sequence:
Tn: Already programmed remote control
DEACTIVATING AUTOMATIC REOPENING
only with WAVE RX / SENSO RX / ORA ZRX / REBIS ZRX motors –
The automatic reopening function can be deactivated at any moment with the
following command sequence:
Tn: Already programmed remote control
SETTING THE SUN SENSOR
(WindTec Lux)
The light level point can be set using the button provided in the lower part of the WindTec Lux sensor, identified by the sun symbol.
The light intensity can be set from a minimum of 2.5 kLux (dawn light) up to a maximum of 100 kLux (midday sunlight). To activate the automatic awning opening, the light intensity must exceed the set level for 1 minute, while for automatic closing, the light intensity must remain below the set level for at least 10 minutes. These pause times are included to prevent the motor from moving continuously in the event of passing clouds. Automatic opening and closing only work when the motor is set to the automatic wind + light mode.
ACTIVATING THE AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL SETTING MODE BY THE REMOTE CONTROL SERIES GIRO
The manual mode (wind only), or automatic mode (wind + sun) setting has to be done by the Giro Lux or Giro P-Lux remote control.
Using the front buttons on the remote control do the following:
GIRO Lux
By pressing briefly one button the display will show the current setting.
To change the setting, press for at least 3 seconds the button related to the desired function, till the motor fedback.
GIRO P-Lux
By pressing briefly the button the display will show the current setting.
To change the setting press the same button for at least 3 seconds till the motor feedback.
ACTIVATING THE AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL SETTING MODE BY THE REMOTE CONTROL SERIES POP
The manual mode (wind only), or automatic mode (wind + sun) setting has to be done by the POP Lux or POP P-Lux remote control.
- By briefly pressing the “SEL” button, the remote control shows the current setting.
- To change the setting press the SEL button again and hold it down for around 2 sec, until the motor replies with a confirmation sequence.
ACTIVATING THE AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL SETTING MODE BY THE REMOTE CONTROL
SERIES SKIPPER
The manual mode (wind only), or automatic mode (wind + sun) setting has to
be done by the Skipper Lux or Skipper P-Lux remote control.
- By briefly pressing the “SEL” button, the remote control shows the current setting.
- To change the setting press the SEL button again and hold it down for around 2 sec, until the motor replies with a confirmation sequence.
TEST MODE
- This function is useful to check the correct communication via radio and to perform the wind and sun function test.
- To activate the TEST function, hold the SET button down for around 2 seconds until the motor confirms the command by bringing the awning to half opening distance. The test function lasts for 3 minutes, during which the wind and light level settings can be checked, without waiting for the activation times. After 3 minutes, the WindTec sensor returns to normal mode function.
WIND FUNCTION TEST
To avoid errors during the wind function test, we advise setting the motor to
manual mode (wind only). With the anemometer blades moving, when the speed
detected by the sensor exceeds the set level, the motor will close completely
the awning. After the awning is closed and the anemometer blades stop turning,
the awning returns to halfway out if the automatic reopening function is
active; if it is not, the awning remains closed.
SUN FUNCTION TEST (WindTec Lux)
Check that the motor is set to the automatic mode. When the sensor detects a
change in light intensity, it opens the awning if brighter than the set point
or closes it if weaker. This test can be repeated several times to establish
the desired automatic opening and closing level according to the light.
