Current SILENT TRAC Installation Manual page 3

Double check drapery height, drapery width, and track length before beginning your installation. Ensure your drapery fits the
track and also the floor to ceiling distance (be aware of desired pin setting). The width of your panels should be large enough
to cover the length of your track plus any return distance, plus any overlap in the case of a center draw application.
1. CAREFULLY DETERMINE BRACKET PLACEMENT
Locate the position of the outer brackets 6" from each end of the
track. See Figure 1.
If the drapery is center draw, use the centerline of the window
opening as a reference. For side draw applications, adjust track
position if necessary to accomodate for drapery stackback.
Some advertised drapery heights are not precise. To verify
correctness, back-calculate the floor to ceiling (FC) height by adding
the drapery height (DH), bottom clearance (BC), and track exposure
(TE). See Figure 2. Pay close attention to the bottom of the track
location, as it differs based on chosen fascia. See Figure 3. Be aware
of the desired pin setting, as the track exposure may be a negative
number for front mount applications. See Figure 4.
Minimum track exposure for under mount applications is 1.25".
Recommended bottom clearance is 0.5" to 1".
