R-TEC FINESTRA Custom Automation Traverse Single Splice

INTRODUCTION

Finestra® Custom R-TEC Automation® Traverse Systems are used to electronically control the drapery using a Slim Drapery Motor and Remote Control. By using a Remote Control or the R-TEC Automation® App via a smartphone or tablet, the operator can open and close the drapery smoothly and precisely. The maximum fascia and track width for this system is 36′ spliced. The max. drapery’s weight is 110 lbs. There must be two additional brackets – one for each side of the splice when used.

SPLICE ASSEMBLY

Step 1. Carefully unbox your system, leaving all the packaging materials in place. If a second person is available to help, it will make the re- assembly process faster and easier.
NOTE: The system was packaged with foam, shrink wrap, and other packing materials to ensure the belt, carriers and other components stay in place during shipment.

Step 2. Remove all packaging material from the Track, ensuring the Drive Belt stays in place inside the Track.

INSTALLATION

We recommend using a professional installer. Installation hardware is included. The fasteners (screws and anchors) may not be appropriate for every installation or wall material.
