EverythingYou Need


First, make sure you have all the parts and tools required to install your shades.

ALL THE HARDWARE YOU’LL NEED: Pencil, screw-driver, ¼” nut driver, level, and a drill with a 1⁄16” drill bit.

Then find wooden studs where you’ll want to attach the brackets; if you need to mount your shades to wallboard or plaster, use a secure fastener designed for hollow wall applications. For metal surfaces, pre-drill holes and use the included screws. For concrete, stone, brick, or tile surfaces, use a masonry drill and appropriate plugs, anchors, or screws. Additional fasteners other than those sent with your shade may be required.

It’s important when selecting a fastener to make sure it’s designed to support the weight of the shade . Follow the fastener manufacturer’s instruction from there on out .

Shades are shipped with the required number of brackets for proper installation . End brackets should be located approx-imately 3" from either end .

Depending on the width of the shade, additional brackets may be necessary, evenly spaced between the two end brackets .

Determine Placement of Brackets and Battery Pack

Make sure that the battery wire will be able to reach the motor .

There is a minimum of 23⁄4" needed from the back of the bracket to the front of the window opening .

Step 3 — Installing the BracketsStep 2 — Brackets & Battery Pack Placement

Using the mounting bracket as a template, measure to the edge of the bracket and mark the hole locations with a pencil for drilling. When mounting brackets, make sure they are in line with each other .

Note: Be sure that the battery wire will reach the motor plug at the position that you are installing it .

Start with the top rail/fabric assembly . The top rail is the rail with the motor in it. Before mounting the headrail, make sure that the receiver wire is out of the headrail . For optimal performance position the receiver wire so that it is facing into the room .

Position the motor wire so that it comes out the back side of the shade .

Be sure the motor wire is not pinched by the bracket . Position the rail with the front lip (A) resting on the hooks of all the brackets . Push the rail firmly up and toward the window until the groove on the rail snaps into place, (B) as shown.

Step 10 — Leveling the Shade

Level the Moving RailMotorized Skylight Shades use a system that allows easy leveling of the moving rail . It is designed to make slight adjustments (Less than 1") to level the moving rails of your shade . It is not designed to make length adjustments .

Use a flat head screwdriver or a coin (a quarter works the best) to turn the adjustment screw to raise or lower that side of the bottom rail . The adjustment screw is on the top of the moving rail .

One quarter turn of the screw will move the moving rail up or down approximately 1⁄4" .

Over-turning the adjustment screw (more than 1" of adjustment) can cause the cord to tangle or wedge inside the rail . The screw should turn easily - Do Not Force .

If the rail is uneven at the top, raise the low side with the outer adjustment screw.

If the stack is uneven at the bottom, lower the high side with the inner adjustment screw.
