CAUTION! Risk of injury
Important safety instructions. Follow all instructions since incorrect installation can lead to severe injury.

• The blind can be fitted in a recess or to the wall or ceiling.There are different head rails for powered blinds and manual blinds.
• Depending on the space in the installation location, the sequence of installing the blind components may vary (e.g. to fit the head rail before the side tracks).

Installing the cord plugs (only for manual blinds)

• Check the operation of the blind by moving fully to the top and to the bottom.

If the blind is properly adjusted, it should hold in all positions in between and operate with ease.

• If the blind falls down on its own, the cords need to be shortened. The easiest way to do this is at the bottom end plugs by pulling out the plug and tying a new double knot. Both cords need to be adjusted evenly. Shorten the excess cord only after you have thoroughly tested the blind.
• Make sure the springs in the head rail is not pulled to one end of the head rail, but is approximately in the middle. If it is not, the tensioning does not work properly.

Connecting the blinds (only for powered blinds)

• The electrical power supply must be connected by a qualified electrician who has demonstrated skill and knowledge related to the construction and opera-tion of electrical equipment and installations and has received safety training to identify and avoid the hazards involved.
• The powered blinds are available for a connection to a 12/24 Vg power supply. The data plate on the head rail provides important information on the specifications of the motor.

The following notes must be observed when connecting the blinds:

• Ensure cables are not damaged during installation. Routings of cables through walls or bulkheads must be protected and insulated by appropriate bushing, grommets or cable conduits.
• Ensure that a 12 V or 24 V stabilized power supply line is available for the drive at the point of installation. The power supply line is suitably arranged and protected.
• The product must be connected to the correct power supply as specified on the product label. The motor in the product is designed to cut out when a set current is exceeded but the supply should be fused to protect the wiring to the product.
• Secure all cables to prevent any contact with moving parts.
• Only use power supply units and control elements recommended by the manufacturer to prevent damage or faults during operation caused by incompatible electrical components.
• Control devices (e.g. switches) must be installed in visible locations.
• One regulated power supply of the required specification is required per motor as failure to do so may cause the motor to function improperly.
• Any adjustment of set stop positions should only be made using the method specified for the motor type to avoid damage to the motor.

• Connect the motor as shown in the wiring diagrams.
