2. Vertical vane (1) Vane motor drive These models are equipped with a stepping motor for the vertical vane. The rotating direction, speed, and angle of the motor are controlled by pulse signals (approximately 12 V) transmitted from microprocessor. (2) The vertical vane angle and mode change as follows by pressing WIDE VANE CONTROL button. (3) Positioning (SWING) To confirm the standard position, the vane moves until it touches the vane stopper.
