Skylight with Automation
IMPORTANT: This application MUST be installed as an inside mount.
Installing the Brackets
Using the mounting
bracket (included) as a template, measure to the edge of the bracket and mark
the hole locations with a pencil for drilling. End brackets should be located
approximately 3” from either end. Use a 3/32” drill bit to drill holes for the
screws. Depending on the width of the shade, additional brackets may be
necessary, evenly spaced between the two end brackets.
IMPORTANT: If you are fastening the installation brackets to drywall, be
sure to use wall anchors and follow the instructions provided with the
anchors. (Anchors not provided)
Installing the Top Rail
IMPORTANT: Prior to installing the shade, attach the power supply to the
motor and pair the motor with the remote using the included remote
instructions
Start with the top rail (the rail with the motor in it). Make sure
that the receiver wire is out of the headrail before mounting. Position the
receiver wire so that it is facing into the room and position the motor wire
so that it comes out the back side of the shade, ensuring it is not pinched by
the bracket.
Position the rail with the front lip (A) resting on the hooks of all the
brackets.
Push the rail firmly up and toward the window until the groove on the rail
snaps into place, (B) as shown. After the top rail has been installed, the
power supply should be connected and Solar Panel (if ordered with rechargeable
battery pack) should be attached.
Installing the Bottom Rail
IMPORTANT: Make sure remote is paired to shade before installing.
Position the rail with the front lip (A) resting on the hooks of all
the brackets.
Push the rail firmly down and toward the window until the groove on the rail
snaps into place, (B) as shown.
Installing the Tracks
Place the track against the front of the top and bottom rails.
Attach the track with the screws provided. Space the screws no more than 12”
apart.
Follow the same procedure for the other track. Make sure that the 2 tracks are
parallel to each other.
Leveling the Moving Rail
If the moving rail is uneven it can be leveled using the shade adjust
on the bottom of the rail. Use a flat head screwdriver or a dime to turn the
adjustment screw to raise or lower that side of the bottom rail. The
adjustment screw is on the bottom of the moving rail. One quarter turn of the
screw will move the moving rail up or down approximately 1⁄ 4”
IMPORTANT: Over-turning the adjustment screw (more than 1” of adjustment)
can cause the cord to tangle or wedge inside the rail. The screw should turn
easily – Do Not Force
