Red Crewzer Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 I have an 8 year old A&E Wind Pro awning that will not stay rolled out. I have tried all the different wind speed setting, removed the power to the control board and reconnected, all to no avail. I sent a message to Dometic via there message board and with NO response. Very poor customer service (past experience) and nothing has improved with them. My question is: Can I disconnect the wind sensor out on the end of the arm and just wire it back direct and then would it just work like a normal awning with no sensor? We do not leave it out during windy days or during any kind of rain storm. Just want it to stay rolled out so I can have shade. Does anyone have a good wiring diagram for the Wind Pro awning? Thanks any and all suggestions. 2008 Tiffin Allegro Bus 43 QRP2006 Honda CR-V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockintom Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 I don't remember if the '08 model has a remote transmitter. If it does, the remote has instructions on the back on how to eliminate the wind sensor and make it simply a manual open and close mode. I can tell you from experience that the windsensor, located on the end of the front arm, are absolute junk. Replacement of control box and wind sensors twice on 2 rigs prove to me it's a design/calibration issue. Dometic won't admit it and aren't any help at all. That's as nice as I can be. Wonder if and when they are gonna fix it? '12 Excel Limitied 33ft GKE Full Timing '14 Chev 3500 CC DRW D/A named Bullet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Crewzer Posted February 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 I do have the remote and it does tell how to disable the wind sensor, but do you do that before you open the awning or after it is open? 2008 Tiffin Allegro Bus 43 QRP2006 Honda CR-V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockintom Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 I always have done mine when the awning is closed (retracted). '12 Excel Limitied 33ft GKE Full Timing '14 Chev 3500 CC DRW D/A named Bullet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Greg Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Ours has a wind sensor switch on the control box in the basement. We've had it turned off for 9 years to disable the wind sensor.

teacher's pet Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 3 wind sensor and control box combos in 1st 4 years of ownership, been turned off at control box switch now for over 6 years. Only deploy when we are at the rv and close when wind picks up. Still quicker and easier to use than a manual awning. Teacher's Pet '06 40' Phaeton QSH 350 Cat.
