Pepperell Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Anemometer that triggers the Girard awning to retract when wind speed exceeds 12 to 15 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodylmiller Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Strange. It is for the awning. Are there wires there? Somewhere along the way that wind speed has to be converted to an electrical signal to cause the awing to retract. On mine there is a control box located in the upper most cabinet on the left curbside. Not sure why someone would remove that, or maybe a low hanging branch took it out??

cbr046 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Mine has 2.5 cups. Wish I could just replace the cups for like 5 bucks. I've tugged on the cups to see if they'd come off the shaft and nada. - bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As there appears to be a one way valve installed, could this be an attic vent or tank vent of some type?

Ivylog Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) I can see the rectangular base of the “wind sensor” (can’t pontificate on what it is) for the Girard awning under all the Dicor. Edited August 5, 2021 by Ivylog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
