Before you begin

Motors are shipped without limit switch settings and transmitter IDs.
Steps (1-6) must be completed to ensure proper shade programming and functionality. Power should ONLY be connected to current shade being programmed. All other shades should be disconnected from their respective power while programming is in progress. While programming (step 4), shade should not be inactive for longer than 2 minutes or motor will exit programming mode.

Programming Instructions are for use with Telis 1 & 4, DecoFlex 1 – 4, Modulis or Telis 1 Chronis Timer

The following illustrations and instructions represent the Telis hand-held remote and may also be applied to the DecoFlex WireFree™ RTS Switch and Telis 1 Chronis Timer.

**Connect Power to Motor

**

Connect 12V battery wand or transformer to the motor. Motor should already be installed in the blind.

**Initiate Programming – (for use with Telis 1 & 4, DecoFlex 1 – 4,

Modulis or Telis 1 Chronis Timer)**

For Single Channel Transmitters (Telis 1, Modulis, Telis 1 Chronis Timer or DecoFlex 1)

On the transmitter, press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously until the blind jogs (blind slats have a short up and down tilt movement).

For Multi-Channel Transmitters (Telis 4, DecoFlex 4)

1. Using the channel selector, select the desired channel.
2. On the transmitter, press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously until the blind jogs.

NOTE: This step cannot be performed if the transmitter has previously been programmed (paired) to the blind.

Check Polarity (blind direction)

NOTE: Must be determined before setting blind limits

• Press and hold the DOWN button and confirm the blind tilts down.
• Press and hold the UP button and confirm the blind tilts up.
  • If blind direction is correct, continue to Step 4.
  • If blind direction is not correct (in reverse), press and hold the MY (Stop) button on the transmitter for 2 seconds.
    Blind will jog. Blind direction is now corrected. Blind movement should now correspond to the direction button on the transmitter.

 Setting Limits (slat positions)

Starting with slats in down (closed) position

1. Press and hold the UP or DOWN button on the transmitter to reach the desired lower limit (slat position).
2. Once the desired lower limit (slat position) is reached, press and hold the MY (Stop) and UP buttons simultaneously until the blind begins to tilt upward, then release.
3. Press the MY (Stop) button when the blind reaches the desired upper limit (slat position). If necessary, adjust the desired slat position with a brief press of either the UP or DOWN button.
4. Once desired upper limit (slat position) is reached, press and hold the MY (Stop) and DOWN buttons simultaneously until the blind begins to tilt downward, then release.
5. Once the blind stops at the previously set lower limit (slat position), press the MY (Stop) button for 2 seconds until the slats jog. This confirms both limits (slat positions).
   To complete programming, proceed to STEP 5.

Starting with slats in up (closed) position

1. Press and hold the DOWN or UP button on the transmitter to reach the desired upper limit (slat position).
2. Once the desired upper limit (slat position) is reached, press and hold the MY (Stop) and DOWN buttons simultaneously until the blind begins to tilt downward, then release.
3. Press the MY (Stop) button when the blind reaches the desired lower limit (slat position). If necessary, adjust the desired slat position with a brief press of either the UP or DOWN button.
4. Once desired lower limit (slat position) is reached, press and hold MY (Stop) and UP buttons simultaneously until the blind begins to tilt upward, then release.
5. Once the blind stops at the previously set upper limit (slat position), press the MY (Stop) button for 2 seconds until the slats jog. This confirms both limits (slat positions).
   To complete programming, proceed to STEP 5.

Completing and Exiting Programming Mode

Using a paperclip or pen, press and hold the PROGRAM button on the back of the transmitter until the blind jogs once. TRANSMITTER IS NOW MEMORIZED AND PROGRAMMING IS COMPLETE.
NOTE: If power is disconnected from the blind before Step 5 is completed, THE TRANSMITTER WILL NOT BE MEMORIZED to the programmed blind. However, limits (slat positions) will remain programmed. If this occurs, go back and repeat step 2 (Initiate Programming). Then omit step 4 (Setting Limits) and resume with step 5.

STEP 6 Adding Additional Transmitters or Assigning Channels

Adding Additional Transmitters (single channel)

1. Using a paperclip or pen, press and hold the PROGRAM button on the previously addressed transmitter until the blind jogs once. OR
2. Using a paperclip or pen, press and hold the PROGRAM button on the motor until the blind jogs once.
3. Using a paperclip or pen, press and hold the PROGRAM button on the new transmitter until the blind jogs once. New transmitter is now added to the shade memory and can be used to operate the blind.

Adding Specific Channels to the Blind (multi-channel transmiters only)

1. Using a paperclip or pen, press and hold the PROGRAM button on the previously addressed transmitter until the blind jogs once. OR
2. Using a paperclip or pen, press and hold the PROGRAM button on the motor until the blind jogs once.
3. Select the desired channel (1-4 or all) by momentarily pressing the Channel Selector Button on the multi- channel transmitter.
4. Press and hold the PROGRAM button on the multi- channel transmitter until the blind jogs once. Additional (new) channel is now added to the blinds’ memory and can be used to operate the blind.
   NOTE: To prevent unwanted Channel/Transmitter assignments when programming blinds within a group, follow step 1a then proceed to step 2.

Deleting Specific Channels/Transmitters

1. Using a paperclip or pen, press and hold the PROGRAM button on the previously addressed transmitter until the blind jogs once. OR
2. Using a paperclip or pen, press and hold the PROGRAM button on the motor until the blind jogs once.
3. Select the desired channel (1-4 or all) or transmitter (single channel) to be deleted.
4. Press and hold the PROGRAM button on the transmitter until the blind jogs once. Channel or transmitter is now deleted from the blind memory and will not operate the blind.

Resetting Motor (Erasing all Previously Programmed Limit Settings and

Channels)

To delete all previous settings: Using a paperclip, press and hold the PROGRAM button, located on the top of the motor casing, until the blind jogs 3 times (approx. 12 seconds).
All transmitters and limits will be erased from the motor memory. Motor is now reset to factory mode. Motor limits (slat positions) will need to be re- established.

Option 1: Setting an Intermediate (MY) Position

1. Press the UP or DOWN directional button on the previously addressed transmitter until the blind slats reach a desired intermediate position, then press the MY (Stop) button to stop. If necessary, adjust the desired slat position by pressing and holding either the UP or DOWN button.
2. Press and hold the MY (Stop) button on the transmitter until the blind jogs. Intermediate MY slat position is now added to the memory.
3. Activate the blind intermediate position by pressing the MY (Stop) button from ANY slat position. Slats will move to the closed DOWN position prior to stopping at the programmed MY position.

NOTE: Blind should be stationary prior to activating intermediate position function.
If slats are actively moving (in-motion), the MY (Stop) button should be pressed twice.
To Delete: Activate blind to MY position, then press and hold the MY (Stop) button for 5 seconds. Previous MY position is now deleted. Proceed to Option 1, Step 1 to set the new intermediate (MY) position.

Option 2: Re-adjusting Upper Limit (UP slat position)

1. Press the UP directional button on the transmitter. Blind will tilt to the pre-set UP limit.
2. Once the blind stops at the pre-set UP limit, press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously on the transmitter until the blind jogs.
3. Press and hold either the UP or DOWN button on the transmitter to adjust slats to the new position.
4. Press and hold the MY (Stop) button until the blind jogs.
   New Upper Limit (Up Stop Position) is now added to the memory.

Option 3: Re-adjusting Lower Limit (DOWN slat position)

1. Press the DOWN directional button on the transmitter. Blind will tilt to the pre-set DOWN limit.
2. Once the blind stops at the pre-set down limit, press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously on the transmitter until the blind jogs.
3. Press and hold either the UP or DOWN button on the transmitter to adjust slats to the new position.
4. Press and hold the MY (Stop) button until the blind jogs. New Lower Limit (Down Stop Position) is now added to the memory.

Operating Instructions are for use with Telis 1 & 4, DecoFlex 1 – 4 or
