How to Change the Obstacle Detection Settings on Your Maestria™ 50 RTS Motor

This preset function can be adjusted once the motor is programmed and in user mode. Obstacle detection can be changed to be more sensitive than the default setting or deactivated.

Maestria is designed for all types of exterior screens, however some functions, like obstacle detection, are available for zip screens only. Any screen with a heavy load bar and a physical stop at the upper end limit is considered a zip screen.

Before we begin, please remember that all button presses must be completed within two seconds apart or the motor will exit the setting mode.

To enter the setting mode, position the screen halfway and press “my” and up briefly, and then press the same buttons again for two seconds until the motor jogs.

How to Deactivate Obstacle Detection

To deactivate the obstacle detection, press up briefly until the motor jogs. If the jog is short, you’ve reached the default setting. To deactivate, press up again until the screen jogs slowly. To validate the settings, press “my” for two seconds until the screen jogs. The obstacle detection is now deactivated.

How to Increase Obstacle Detection Sensitivity

To increase the sensitivity from the default setting, start with the screen halfway and press “my” and up briefly and then press the same buttons again for two seconds until the motor jogs. Next, press down briefly until the screen jogs. If the jog is short you’ve reached the default setting. To increase the sensitivity, press down again until the screen jogs slowly. To validate the settings press “my” for two seconds until the screen jogs.

The obstacle detection is now more sensitive. To confirm, you may put your hand firmly under the screen traveling down.
