Installation and Preparation 1) Inspect Motor Shade motors are shipped outside of the tube to protect the motor from damage. The Q2 (28mm) motor will have the crown and drive preinstalled as shown. The Q2 (28mm) motor is supplied with either a 1.5” crown/drive or 2”...

2” Rollease Q2 (28mm) Motor Set-up The 2” version of the Q2 (28mm) motor uses two adapters for the motor crown. The outer crown adapter might slide down during shipping. If this happens, align keyway on the inside of the outer crown to the crown adapter and slide it back on.

2) Inspect Shade Tube The shade tube will have internal ribs/keys that will match the motor crown and drives. www.AVOutlet.com 1-877-271-5398...

3) Install Motor Align the crown and drive keyways to the internal ribs and slide the motor into the tube. NOTE: The 1.5” drive have 2 sizes of keyways. Use the keyway in each that closely matches the ribs in the tube. www.AVOutlet.com 1-877-271-5398...

The motor needs to be fully seated in the tube as shown. Push the motor into the tube until the flange of the crown is touching the tube. Important!! - Always hold the motor so that the motor does not slide out when transporting the assembly.

4) Evaluate Brackets The supplied shade brackets have screw holes that allow for side-wall, back-wall or ceiling mounting. The tab end bracket goes on the motor side. The tab slides into the motor head. The notch and hook bracket end goes on the idler end plug side.

5) Determine Bracket Spacing Shades ordered as Tip to Tip measurement (inside or outside mount) – The outside edge of the brackets will be placed at the width that the shade was ordered. If you ordered a shade that is 24 1/4” wide, the outside edge of the brackets should be at 24 1/4”.

7) Mount Brackets a) Mark the locations for your bracket locations with a pencil at the tip to tip bracket spacing (previously discussed). Check that the marked area is level using a bubble level or other appropriate method. Hold the outside edge of the bracket at your pencil mark.

9) Level Shade Use a bubble level to check your shade installation. A small amount of out of level is typically OK but we prefer perfection. If the shade tube is out of level the material can walk off the tube during rotation and get damaged. As necessary shim or reposition brackets so the shade tube is level.

10) Program Shades – Keep reading here first!! Connect power to your motor correctly. The Rollease Q2 (28mm) DCRF motors require 12V DC power. Damage to the motor due to improper power connection will void the warranty. Please use the motor specific instructions provided with your motors. If they were not included, please email us, call us or visit our website for the specific motor instructions.

Troubleshooting Shade Material Walk-Off Walk-off needs to be fixed so that the material does not roll into the end components of the shade which can damage the material. A small amount of walk-off is acceptable. Before attempting to fix the walk-off you need to unroll the shade all the way to the end where the material is applied to the tube and then roll it back up to ensure the material is aligned to the tube.
Page 13
e) Test the shade again to see if the material still walks off. If the material still walks off, apply another layer of masking tape on top of the previous one(s). Several layers of masking tape may be required to fix the walk-off. Tip!! The further you put the tape towards the end of the tube the more it effects walk-off.
