Roof Opening Panel Operation

The roof opening panel assembly uses an integrated motor and module to operate the roof opening panel. The roof opening panel is an electronically operated glass panel that has one-touch open, one-touch close and one-touch vent features.

To open the roof opening panel, press and release the SLIDE control switch. The roof opening panel opens automatically. The roof opening panel movement can be stopped at any time by pressing the switch again.

To vent the roof opening panel, the roof opening panel must first be in the CLOSED position. When the roof opening panel is in the CLOSED position, press and release the TILT control switch. The roof opening panel moves to the VENT position automatically. To close the roof opening panel from the VENT position, pull and hold the TILT control switch until the glass panel stops moving.

To close the roof opening panel, pull and release the SLIDE or TILT control switch. The roof opening panel closes automatically. The roof opening panel movement can be stopped at any time by activating the SLIDE or TILT control switch in either direction.

Bounce-Back

The roof opening panel has a bounce-back feature. If an obstacle has been detected in the roof opening panel as the sliding glass is closing, the roof opening panel automatically opens and stops at a predetermined position.

Bounce-Back Override

To override a bounce-back condition (to overcome the resistance of ice on the roof opening panel seal for example), within 2 seconds of a bounce-back event, pull and hold the SLIDE or TILT control switch. The closing force begins to increase each time the roof opening panel is closed for the first 3 closing cycles (bounce-back is still enabled).
