User's Manual

These instructions describe how to install, commission and operate this
product.
The Windy Hz Accel is a cordless, independent, three-dimensional motion sensor. It
enables the awning to be raised automatically when it is being shaken by the wind.
The detection of shaking corresponds to a sensitivity threshold.
The Windy Hz Accel has been designed for terrace awnings with arms, such as
folding arms cassette or semi-cassette awnings. The Windy Hz Accel is compatible
with Hz motors, Hz remote controls and Hz sensors from Simu.
The sensor does not protect the awning against sudden squalls; keep the awning
closed if there is a risk of such a meteorological phenomenon.
1. Safety
1.1 Safety and Responsability
This Simu product must be installed by a person with professional knowledge of
motorisation and home automation, for whom these instructions are intended.
Moreover, the installer must comply with the current standards and legislation in
the country in which the product is being installed, and inform his customers of the
usage and maintenance conditions relevant to the product.
Any use outside the sphere of application specied by Simu is forbidden. This
invalidates the warranty and discharges Simu of all liability, as does any failure to
comply with the instructions given herein.
Never begin installing without rst checking the compatibility of this product with the
associated equipment and accessories.
2.2. Specic safety advice
To prevent damaging the product:
Avoid impacts!1)
Do not drop it!2)
Do not submerge it.3)
Do not use abrasive products or solvents to clean the product.4)
Do not clean it using a water spray or high pressure cleaning method.5)
Ensure that the sensor is kept clean and regularly check it is operating correctly.
This sensor does not protect the awning in the event of strong gusts of wind.
If there is a risk of this kind of weather, ensure that the awning remain closed.
2. Methods of adjustment
2.1 1 Predened threshold adjustment method
Predened threshold adjustment sets the detection of movement to one of the
threshold values pre-set in the potentiometer. Each value is a threshold of sensitivity
to shaking:
threshold 1 = high sensitivity to shaking: low intensity shaking will cause the •
awning to close;
threshold 9 = low sensitivity to shaking: high intensity shaking will cause the •
awning to close.
Threshold 2 provides sensitivity to shaking under usual conditions. When leaving
the factory, the Windy Hz Accel is set to threshold 2.
2.2 Personalized threshold adjustment method
Personalized threshold adjustment will allow the detection of shaking at a
sensitivity threshold set by the installer. The awning is shaken manually until it rises
automatically: the intensity of the shaking caused is recorded by the sensor. If the
awning is not shaken before it rises automatically, the sensor switches automatically
to its original conguration: the Windy Hz Accel is set to threshold 2 value.
Once the threshold has been set, the sensor switches to Demonstration mode for
the rst two cycles following adjustment. This mode enables the selected setting to
be modied easily. Simply pressing the STOP button stops the awning rising and
enables the threshold of sensitivity to be modied by shaking the awning again
manually.

4. Installation
4.1 Installation recommendations
See illustration B )
The Windy Hz Accel has to be attached on the load bar, on the same end of the
awning as the motor is installed. Shaking is more easily detected.
The Windy Hz Accel must never be enclosed in the load bar.
The Windy Hz Accel only works when the sensor (2) is secured to the bracket
(3) and the settings are done.
The sensor’s radio range is X = 20 m.
Powerful local transmitter equipment (e.g. cordless headphones) with a
transmission frequency identical to the Windy Hz Accel can affect its function.
4.2 Premounting the support
See illustrations C and E )
The support (3) may be attached, without washers, using 2 domed cylindrical-head
(4-mm-diameter) #8 screws (not supplied), 2 countersunk-head screws (4 mm in
diameter) #8 (not supplied), 2 pop rivets (4 mm in diameter) 5/32” (not supplied) or
2 Simu xing accessories (not supplied).
Position the support (3) on the inside surface of the load bar.
-
Check that the position chosen does not prevent the awning from closing and does -
not damage the sensor.
Drill two holes into the load bar to match the holes in the support and to suit the -
selected method of xing (see “Technical data”).
Fix the support using the selected xing accessoiries: the arrow with “UP” engraved -
into the support must point upwards.
4.3 Installing the batteries
See illustration D )
Never use rechargeable batteries to power the Windy Hz Accel sensor.
Remove the sensor (2) from its casing (1) using a at screwdriver.
-
Insert the AAA batteries provided (6) into the sensor, following the polarity indicated: -
the LED will come on for 1 sec to conrm that the batteries have been properly
inserted.
