ARC Motion Sensor Instructions

433 MHZ
BI-DIRECTIONAL

The ARC Motion Sensor is used to detect motion on a shade. The result of strong vibration can trigger a paired awning motor to move the shade to its home position for protection. The motion sensor can only be programmed to operate External Motors (15Nm and upwards).

Features:

• Compatible with AUTOMATE awning motors and controllers
• Suitable for fitting to awning terminal bars
• Provides protection from excessive wind gusts
• 9 x levels of sensitivity
• Low battery warning
• Loss of communication SAFEGUARD TECHNOLOGY

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off an on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

3. Motion Sensor Cradle

2.4 SENSITIVITY DIAL ADJUSTMENT

NOTE: Adjust clockwise

3 FUNCTION

3.1 SENSITIVITY DIAL / P2 OPERATION

• Dial Set to 0: Sensor is in pairing mode.
• Dial Set to 1-9: In Active mode, sensitivity, Highest – Lowest.
• Dial set to 5: Move motor to upper limit/Motion Sensor in Active mode.
• Dial set to 9: Move motor to bottom limit/ Motion Sensor in Inactive mode.

3.2 SAFEGUARD TECHNOLOGY

Once the sensor is paired to an Automate external motor, the sensor will check in with the motor every 30mins.

If the motor does not receive the signal at the checkpoint, the motor will close the awning as a protective measure.

This is a sign that there is a fault in the sensor or that the batteries have gone flat. If this happens, you will need to replace the 2 X AAA alkaline batteries. To access the sensor, press down on the remote and the awning will move in a stepping mode to allow for easy access and appropriate troubleshooting/action.

NOTE: We recommend replacing the batteries every 12 months.

3.3 AWNING DIRECTION

Confirm that awning direction is setup as below so any paired sensors will activate correctly.

DOWN on the remote OPENS the Awning (awning moves in an outward direction).

E.g.

And UP on the remote CLOSES the Awning (awning moves in an inward direction).

E.g.

4 SETUP

4.1 PAIRING TO MOTION SENSOR

The ARC Motion Sensor can only be connected and paired to External Motors (15Nm and above).

1. Set Sensitivity Dial to zero
2. Pair or unpair a motor to the sensor using a pre-paired remote

A = Existing controller or channel (to keep)
B = Motion Sensor to add or remove

STEP 1                    STEP 2
………………       ……………………………….
Set Dial to 0.            Press P2 on controller A.    Press P2 on controller A.

STEP 3
…………………………………………
Press P2 on Motion Sensor B to add or remove.

Dial Setting          Response              Response
…………..           ……………       ……………

Press P2                  Response
…………..           ……………

Once paired, confirm Motion sensor is working with motor. To do this, use the Sensor as a Remote.

4.2 USE SENSOR AS REMOTE

To move shade to top limit, set dial to 5 and press P2.

Dial Setting                Press P2                   Response
…………..              ……………             ……………

To move shade to bottom limit, set dial to 9 and press P2.

Dial Setting                Press P2                   Response
…………..              ……………             ……………

Once confirmed Sensor and Motor are talking together, set sensitivity.

Dial set to 1-9: Sensitivity, Highest – Lowest.

5 ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS

5.1 INACTIVE MODE

To turn off motion sensing function of the motion sensor (INACTIVE MODE), set dial to 9, and hold P2 until the remote emits two beeps.

In this mode, the motion sensor will not trigger the shade to move. The sensor can still be used as a remote to move the shade up or down.

Dial Setting                Hold P2                   Response
…………..              ……………             ……………

5.2 ACTIVE MODE

To turn on motion sensor back into (ACTIVE MODE), set dial to 5, and hold P2 until the remote emits two beeps.

In this mode, sensitivity is adjusted by the dial.

When motion sensor is triggered, shade will move to upper limit. After each trigger, the motion sensor will not trigger again for another 30 seconds.

Dial Setting                Hold P2                   Response
…………..              ……………             ……………

6 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

6.1 WARNING / CAUTION

When battery voltage is lower than 2.3 V, it beeps every 5 seconds.

Adjust sensitivity accordingly. The detected vibration range is 3G. (1G = 9.8 m/s²)
High sensitivity could cause awning to react under slight wind.
If the disc magnet is dislodged, the vibration detection and low battery alarm functions are invalid.

6.2 UNPAIR MOTION SENSOR

To unpair motion sensor set the dial to 0 and press and hold p2 on motion sensor until 2 beeps.

Dial Setting                Hold P2                   Response
…………..              ……………             ……………

6.3 RE-PAIR MOTION SENSOR

To re-pair motion sensor move the dial to 5 and press and hold p2 on motion sensor until 2 beeps.

Dial Setting                Hold P2                   Response
…………..              ……………             ……………

Alternatively, you can factory reset the motor to clear all paired sensors.

7 TROUBLE SHOOTING

positioned away from metal objects and that aerial on motor is kept straight and away from metal
Receiver distance is too far from transmitter| Move sensor to a closer position
Power failure| Check power supply to motor is connected and active
Incorrect wiring| Check wiring is connected correctly (refer to motor installation instructions)
Pairing error| Set dial to 5 or 9 and press multi function button to verify motor reacts
Awning constantly retracts during operation| Sensitivity set too high| Reduce sensitivity
Awning does not react to wind setting| Wind Sensitivity is too high| Adjust sensitivity
Duration of wind intensity level is less than 3 seconds| Wind gust durations must be over 3 seconds to trigger
Sensor beeps every five seconds| Flat batteries| Replace batteries with correct type
Awning retracts after approximately 30mins| Safeguard feature| Communication between motor and sensor has been lost. Replace the 2 x alkaline batteries and check motion sensor is working correctly.
Awning retracted and not operating (not getting stepping mode function)| Sensor has been triggered.| Once the sensor has been triggered there is an 8min lockout as a protective measure.
Safeguard feature is not triggering| Motor and sensor checking timing| Motor and sensor need to have at least 1 check in before this feature is enabled, this occurs every 30mins.
