DCFT MOTOR

USE THIS DOCUMENT WITH THE FOLLOWING MOTORS:

AUTOMATE | DCFT tubular motors combine the simple, intuitive features of ARC “Automate Radio Communication” with Fabric Tension capability and DC power. Three alternate modes of operation include:

• E-type for standard use
• MANUAL FT Mode for use with conventional locking devices with fabric tensioning
• AUTO FT Mode for use with Rollease Acmeda’s proprietary ULTRA LOCK providing automatic fabric tensioning

Functional options in each operating mode include: FAVORITE POSITION & BATTERY CHECK.

• An intermediate setting allows for a customized FAVORITE POSITION to be preset.
• The BATTERY CHECK feature lowers the shade to the level of charge remaining in the battery pack when triggered.
• IMPACT DETECTION senses an obstacle in the blinds path during downward movement and redirects the shade to protect the motor, hardware and fabric, ensuring product longevity.

Impact detection is deactivated by default. Impact detection may be activated in all 3 modes. If an obstacle is detected twice in the shade path during downwards movement, the motor lifts the shade up ~ 7.87in. (20cm).

P1 BUTTON FUNCTIONS

Motor state test
This table describes the function of a short P1 Button press/release (<2 seconds) depending on curr ent motor configuration.

P1

Press

| Condition| Function Achieved| Visual Feedback| Audible Feedback| Function Described
---|---|---|---|---|---

Short Press

| If limit is NOT set| None| No Action| None| No Action
If limits are set| Operational control of motor, run to limit. Stop if running| Motor Runs| None| Operational control of motor after pairing and limit setting is completed first time
If motor is in “Sleep Mode” & limits are set| Wake and control| Motor wakes and runs in a direction| None| Motor is restored from Sleep Mode and RF control is active

Motor configuration options
The P1 Button is utilized to administer motor configurations as described below.

The Impact Detection feature only works in the active zone during downward movement (see Section 4.2). All three modes have this impact detection feature deactivated by default (see Section 2.1).
Repeat sequence to turn on or off as required.

IMPORTANT
The top tube must be able to freely rotate ~ 5 degrees after installation.

CONTROLLERS AND CHANNELS

Using motor P1 Button to add a new controller or channel

A = Existing controller or channel (to keep)
B = Controller or channel to add or remove

IMPORTANT
Consult user manual for your controller or sensor

Using a pre-existing controller to add or delete a controller or channel

A = Existing controller or channel (to keep)
B = Controller or channel to add or remove

IMPORTANT
Consult user manual for your controller or sensor

SLEEP MODE

If multiple motors are grouped on a single channel, Sleep Mode may be used to put all but 1 motor to sleep, allowing programming of just the one motor that remains “Awake”.

Enter Sleep Mode
Sleep mode is utilized to prevent a motor from incorrect configuration during other motor setup.

Exit Sleep Mode: Method 1
Exit sleep mode once the shade is ready.

Exit Sleep Mode: Method 2
Remove power and then re-power the motor.

BATTERY CHECK FUNCTION

Send Shade to battery charge level

WIND AND SUN SENSOR

Ensure the Wind and Sun sensor functionality on the motor is activated prior to pairing the Wind and Sun sensor.

Activate/Deactivate sensor functionality
Note: Functionality activated by default.

Pairing Wind and Sun sensor to Motor

IMPORTANT: WIND SENSOR PRIORITIZE FUNCTION
Once the motor receives a command from the wind sensor, the motor will respond accordingly. At this point the motor will ignore any other remote or sensor commands for 8 minutes. This is needed to avoid contradicting multiple triggers. Keep this in mind when testing the motor with the remote after the wind sensor has been triggered. The wind sensor function is ON by default.

NOTE: Motor will jog to alert user if operated within 8 minutes.

TROUBLESHOOTING

objects and the aerial on motor or receiver is kept straight and away from metal
Receiver distance is too far from transmitter| Move transmitter to a closer position
Charging failure| Check power supply to motor is connected and active
Power Failure| Check power supply to motor is connected and active.
Motor beeps x10 when in use| Battery voltage is low| Recharge with a compatible charger
Cannot program a single motor (multiple motors respond)| Multiple motors are paired to the same channel| Always reserve an individual channel for programming functions. Use Sleep Mode to program individual motors.
