General Information
Tilt-and-Lift motors will let you tilt (orient) the wood slats to control the
light getting into the room and raise or lower your blind. When lifting or
lowering your blind, the slats will be tilted to the “closed” position.
You will not require an electrician to install your blind because it operates
with a rechargeable battery installed inside the steel headrail.
Remote control is necessary to operate your blinds. One remote can operate up
to 15 blinds. If you ordered several motorized blinds, each blind is factory-
assigned to a channel and remote control.
Battery Connection
For safety reasons, the battery is not connected to the motor when it leaves the factory. The first step is to connect the cable coming out from the battery to the cable from the motor. Both cables are marked with a green sticker.
You should get a small motion from the motor indicating the battery connection was successful.
Recharge Battery
The battery is shipped partially charged. We highly recommend fully recharging it for about 4-6 hrs before installing the blind in the brackets. Connect the charger from the power supply to the Battery charging port, located on the right-hand side , below the headrail as shown.
Remote
Your Remote is already programmed to operate your blind(s) in the Channel you
requested in your order. Each blind has a sticker in the front of the headrail
showing the Channel number that was programmed in your remote. Channel 0
(zero) operates all blinds at the same time. To select the Channel related to
your blind, press the buttons [< >] until you see the desired Channel on the
screen.
The remote communicates to the motor with radiofrequency and it is not
necessary to point it directly to the blind. If you lose your remote, you will
have to order a replacement. There will be no need to re-program the motor,
just pair the new remote to the blind motor.
Change Factory Channel Assignment
If you want to assign a different channel to one motor, you will need to “pair” the control to that motor. To do this:
- On the remote, choose the channel number you want to assign.
- Take the blind off the right bracket and press the green button on top of the motor, for 3 seconds (1 jog), release the button and you will get a long beep.
- After step 1, you will have 10 seconds to press STOP for 3 seconds. If the operation was successful, the motor will give 2 jogs and 3 beeps. Otherwise, repeat the process from step 1
To tilt the slats in small steps, click the Up or Down button. With each click, the slats will move one step. To raise or lower the blind, press, and hold for a couple of seconds the UP or DOWN button. To stop the movement at any time, press the button [-]
Remote Battery
To start using your Remote, you need to remove the plastic protection
under the battery. To access the battery, slightly push and slide down the
cover in the back of the Remote. Pull the transparent tab to remove the
protection. Use only a CR 2450 Lithium battery if you need to replace it.
