Function

• If the VSE rain sensor gets wet or the VSS acoustical rain sensor detects rain,

the skylight automatically closes.

• Disabling the rain sensor while the skylight is open creates a risk of water to

the interior of the building.

• If the rain sensor is activated, the skylight will close within approximately 30

seconds. If the skylight is activated with the remote control or another control,

it will take up to one minute until the skylight is completely closed. Therefore,

in case of sudden rain, water may enter the room before the skylight is closed.

• In case of snow and/or ice, the operation of the skylight may be blocked result-

ing in damage to the skylight.

tion to or use with other products may cause damage, malfunction or injury.
