MT01-1245-069001 | AUTOMATE |
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.

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
Problem | Cause | Remedy |
---|---|---|
Motor is not responding | Connected Battery is depleted or Power Supply is not | |
working | Recharge with a compatible charger | |
Transmitter battery is discharged | Replace battery | |
Battery is inserted incorrectly into transmitter | Check battery polarity | |
Radio interference/shielding | Ensure transmitter is positioned away from metal |
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.
