Operating Systems
Motorized Operation—
Motor is located within the right (standard)
or left end of the roller for smooth, reliable operation. A wide variety
of control options are available: refer to page
s 5-6.
Crank Operator—
The compact, bi-directional gear assembly can be
mounted either on the right end (standard) or the left. Crank handle
hinges to form a thin, straight rod at edge of window when not in use.
The crank is permanently mounted (standard), or specify detachable
and use a single crank for more than one shade.
Bead Chain Clutch—
Unlike competing clutches, the
Draper
bi-
directional clutch never needs adjusting and can be mounted either
on the right (standard) or left. Shades stop when chain is released.
Stainless steel (standard) or nylon beaded chain hangs at the side,
leaving the view unobstructed. Up and down stops prevent shades
from being raised or lowered too far. Our
Light Seal Kit
prevents
light from coming through where the chain exits the headbox.
Spring Roller—
Roller is under constant tension,
with a latching chain at sill (see detail at right).
