The Velocity Switch from Velarium uses proprietary technology to safely to increase the speed at which your awning deploys and retracts. Integrated soft start technology gently starts the awning motor, increasing motor life. Faster deployment means you have more time to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. Side-by-side tests have shown the velarium velocity switch to be as much as twice as fast as other awning switches. Faster retracting lessens the chance of wind damage.
