Abstract:
1. A method of using a control system adapted to receive at least one signal to activate a motor to adjust a configuration of an adjustable covering, wherein the configuration is variably adjustable between a fully extended configuration and a fully retracted configuration, and, when the adjustable covering is in the fully extended configuration, the configuration is variably adjustable between a maximum transmissivity configuration and a minimum transmissivity configuration, wherein each press of a manual operating switch is alternatingly treated as an up request followed by a down request, comprising: detecting an extension of the adjustable covering; wherein the adjustable covering is mounted to a roll bar comprising a forward extending rib; whereby the adjustable covering is fully extended upon the forward extending rib coming into contact with a working half pivotally attached to a mounting half of a limit stop; detecting an amount of transmissivity of the adjustable covering; detecting a speed of the adjustable covering; monitoring a signal for an indication of one of an up request and a down request; and instructing the motor to make an adjustment to the adjustable covering upon recognizing the signal, wherein the adjustment is based upon the detected depth, the monitored amount of transmissivity, the monitored speed, and the monitored signal.
