**MEASURE AND MARK FOR A SINGLE SHADE:

Outside Mount – Wall, Ceiling, or Door

1.   Measure across the window at the top, and make a mark at the
   half-way point.

2. Note the correct bracket-to-bracket width (BtoB), on the shade box label.

3.  Measuring from the window center to the left, mark a distance equal to: BtoB / 2.

4. Repeat the process, measuring from the window center to the right, to mark the opposite bracket location.

5.  Measure from mark to mark, verifying the distance is equal to BtoB,
   ±1/8 in (3 mm).

Inside Mount – Ceiling

1. Note the correct bracket-to-
   bracket width (BtoB), on the
   shade box label.

2. Measure from jamb to jamb at
   the top of the window opening,
   verifying the distance is equal to BtoB, ± 1⁄8 in (3 mm).

3.  Measuring from the front edge of the window opening toward the window glass, mark the mounting surface at the desired bracket mounting depth.

Inside Mount – Jamb

1. Note the correct bracket-to-bracket width (BtoB), on the shade box label.
   

2. Measure from jamb to jamb at the top of the window opening, verifying the distance is equal to BtoB, ± 1⁄8 in (3 mm).

3.  Measuring down from the top of the window opening, mark each jamb at the desired bracket mounting height.

4.  Measuring from the front edge of the jamb toward the window glass, mark each jamb at the desired bracket mounting depth.

Important Inside-Mount Clearance Information
ROLLUP RADIUS (RR): Measure the fabric roll diameter (Rollup Diameter; also listed on the original shade quote). RR = Rollup Diameter / 2.
JAMB BRACKET MOUNTING HEIGHT:
To ensure adequate fabric roll clearance, jamb brackets must be mounted at a distance from the top of the jamb equal to or greater than the Rollup Radius (RR) minus 1/2 in (13 mm).

MOUNTING DEPTH: To allow free access to the battery compartment, the mounting depth must be 5/8 in (16 mm) or less.
Brackets may be mounted deeper than 5/8 in (16 mm), but battery access will require full removal of the shade from the brackets.
BOTTOM BAR CLEARANCE: To ensure adequate clearance for the PALLADIOM bottom bar, the distance from the rear of the bracket to the window must be equal to or greater than the Rollup Radius (RR) minus 1-1/8 in (29 mm). For all other bottom bar types (Architectural, Designer, Sealed), the distance from the rear of the bracket to the window must be equal to or greater than the Rollup Radius (RR) minus 1-5/8 in (41 mm).

MEASURE AND MARK FOR GANGED SHADES (3-shade example):

1. Measure across the window at the top, and make a mark at the half-way point
   (Window Center).

2. Note the correct bracket-to-bracket width (BtoB), on each shade box label, then add the widths together to get the Total System Width (TSW).

3.  Measuring from the window center on a level line to the left, mark a distance equal to: TSW / 2.

4. Measuring from the mark made in Step 3 on a level line to the right, mark a distance equal to Shade 1 BtoB.

5.  Measuring from the mark made in Step 4 on a level line to the right, mark a distance equal to Shade 2 BtoB.

6. Measure from end-mark to end-mark, verifying the distance is equal to the TSW, calculated at Step 2.
   Ganged Shades Example:

7.  Shade BtoB is measured to/from the centerline of center brackets

8. Individual shade BtoB tolerance is ± 1⁄8 in (3 mm)

9. Inside mount shown – measure-and-mark procedure is the same for outside mount

10. All inside mounting depth, height, and clearance information presented in section 1.1 above is applicable to inside-mounted ganged shades

11. Wall-mount center brackets are operator-side reversible – ceiling mount center brackets are not
