Current SILENT TRAC Installation Manual page 3

Double check drapery height, drapery width, and track length before beginning your installation. 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. INSTALL THE BRACKETS
Install the outer brackets first. Locate the centerline 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 accommodate for drapery stackback.
Measure and mark the centerline of the window. Then with a pencil,
measure and mark the location of the outer bracket centerline, L
with a vertical line. See Figure 2.
Some advertised drapery heights are not precise. To be certain of
bracket installation height (BH), carefully measure the drapery
height. With a pencil, locate the vertical position of the wall bracket
based on the drapery height (DH), bottom clearance (BC), and track
exposure (TE). See Figure 3.
Minimum track exposure for under mount applications is 1.25".
Recommended bottom clearance is 1/2" to 1".
Be aware of the desired pin setting, as the track exposure may be a
negative number for front mount applications. See Figure 3.1.
