Caution

 1

  Read instructions through completely before proceeding.

 2

  Follow instructions carefully. Installation contrary to instructions invali- 

    dates warranty.

 3

  Pick up shade from 

ends only

. Picking headbox up at other points 

will  

    damage case 

and 

may damage fabric

.

 4

  Entire bottom of shade headbox should be unobstructed to permit 

    access to bottom panel for making electrical connections or servicing.

 5

  Shade should be installed level (using a carpenter’s level).

 6

  Operating switch(es) packed separately in shade carton. Do not  

    discard with packing material.

 7 

Shade operates on 110-120V, 60 Hz. current.

 NOTE

: Shade has been thoroughly inspected and tested at factory and  

  found to be operating properly prior to shipment.

Mounting Shade

Regardless of mounting method used, the following points apply:

1

  Shade should be lifted into position 

only by the end mounting brackets.  

  Using both mounting holes in mounting brackets makes for a much  

  more stable installation. Never attempt to lift shade along its length.

2

  Shade should be positively and securely supported so that vibration or  

  even abusive pulling will not weaken installation.

3

  Installer must insure that fasteners used are of adequate strength and 

  suitable for the mounting surface chosen. 

Installer must also insure that  

  wall or ceiling structure are of adequate strength. 

Supporting  

  hardware (chains, cables, rods, etc.) must be essentially vertical.

4

  Entire bottom of pocket must be readily accessible after installation is  

 complete.

5

  Front, back and top of pocket must be straight—not forced to warp or bow.  

  Adjust spreader bars to keep large cases from warping.

6

  Do not use pocket to support adjacent sections of ceiling.

7

  If optional ceiling flange trim kits are attached, use hardware provided.

8

  If pocket is painted, slots on bottom of case should be shielded to protect  

  viewing surface from paint splatters or overspray.

Caution

: Shade is shipped with motor wiring mounted to the headbox. Be 

careful not to pull the wiring loose from the headbox while removing the 

brackets—if wiring is loose, it could be damaged during shade operation. If 

wiring does come loose, re-mount as it was.

9

  Do not seal unit in ceiling until electrical connections have been made and  

  shade has been operated successfully.

Electrical Connections

Shade operates on 110-120V, 60 Hz. current.

Shade is shipped with internal wiring complete and control switch(es) fully 

boxed. Wire connecting shade to switch(es) and switch(es) to power supply 

should be furnished by installer. Connections should be made in accordance 

with attached wiring diagram, and wiring should comply with national and 

local electrical codes. See Fig. 1 for internal view of wiring.

All operating switches should be “off” before power is connected.

Please Note: 

For low voltage wiring requirements, Draper recommends con-

sulting with a professional low voltage electrical contractor. It is very important 

that shielded and stranded CAT 5 cable be used to prevent any electrical 

interference.

Operation

When shade is first operated, 

be cautious! 

Cycle unit down and up several 

times to confirm satisfactory operation.

Adjustments 

Shade has been factory set and should not normally require further 

adjustment. However, if you desire to change the “up” and “down” stopping 

positions, proceed as follows:

CAUTION:

 Be sure all switches are in “off” position before adjusting 

limit switches. Always be prepared to shut shade off manually when new 

adjustment is being tested. Shade may be severely damaged if allowed to run 

too far up or too far down.

ADJUSTING “FULLY UP” POSITION

—Put a small screw driver in the groove 

of the yellow button on the motor and press vertically until hearing a "click". 

Raise the shade by pressing the "up" switch on unit. Press the "stop" switch 

when the shade is at the desired position. Then press the yellow button on 

motor until you hear a "click", then release.

ADJUSTING “FULLY DOWN” POSITION—

Put a small screw driver in the 

groove of the white button on the motor and press vertically until hearing a 

"click". Lower the shade by pressing the "down" switch on unit. Press the 

"stop" switch when the shade is at the desired position. Then press the white 

button on motor until you hear a "click", then release.

AT NO TIME SHOULD SHADE BE UNROLLED ENOUGH TO EXPOSE ANY 

PART OF SHADE ROLLER.

Please Note: 

The above instructions affect only the limits on the motors. For 

adjustment procedures using Draper’s IntelliFlex Control Systems, please 

consult the installation information for the appropriate control.

Removing/Replacing Roller

  If there is not sufficient access above the ceiling to get to the mounting 

brackets, you can use the knockouts located in the top of the case just below 

the mounting bracket holes. To get to these holes, you will need to remove the 

hole covers. You will also need to remove the shade motor/roller assembly. 

These steps may require more than one person.

Removing Shade/Motor Assembly

1

  Unplug motor from unit wiring (see Fig. 1).

2

  Remove cotter pin from idler assembly.

3

  Remove locking screw from motor retainer ring, then expand motor  

  retianer ring around the motor-end bracket (see Fig. 2).

4

  The idler is spring-loaded. Push motor/roller assembly toward the idler  

  end. Remove motor from motor mount, then remove idler end.

5

  Mount the case using mounting brackets. A long-handled driver will allow  

  you to access the bracket mounting holes through the knockouts.

Please note: Maximum 

torque for tightening 

screw is 5 lb-inches.
