Velarium, an Airxcel brand, launched the Velocity Switch that can deploy and retract awnings at almost twice the speed of standard switches, the company said.
The Velocity Switch uses proprietary technology to safely increase the speed at which awnings can deploy and retract. The integrated soft-start technology gently starts the awning motor, extending the motor life.
“The new Velocity Switch is designed with both our valued customers and dealers in mind,” said Jeff Cowan, business unit manager for Velarium. “Our customers have expressed a desire to maximize their outdoor enjoyment with minimal hassle. This upgrade significantly enhances the user experience by halving the time required to deploy or retract an RV’s awning, thereby not only mitigating the risk of wind damage but also allowing for more leisure time. It’s a simple yet impactful enhancement that our dealers can easily integrate into existing systems.”
Velarium’s Velocity Switch is an easy-to-install upgrade that is compatible with current and existing popular 12-volt-powered vertical arm awning brands.
