I. Splicing the Track If your track is UNSPLICED, proceed to Section 2: Drapery Track Installation 1. Unpack the Track 1.1 - Remove track from plastic and take out the foam block inside the track that secures the belt. 1.2 - With the track positioned upside down (carriers pointed up), apply tension to the belt by gripping both pieces of the Figure 1.1 master carrier and pulling them together as you straighten the...
Double check drapery height, drapery width, and track length before beginning your installation. Drapery track must be level 2. DRapery Track Installation and all brackets must be vertically aligned for track to function properly. NOTE: If your track is spliced, follow the splicing instructions for proper assembly. 1.

2A. INSTALL THE TRACK 2.1 - Begin with the camlocks in the open position. See Figure 2.2.1. If using fascia, install fascia clips before track installation. For ceiling mount installations be sure the return clips are installed prior to installation of the track to the camlocks. Figure 2.2.1 - Camlock in open position 2.2 - On unspliced tracks, starting in the middle, secure the track onto each of the brackets using the camlock.

3. ADJUST NUMBER OF CARRIERS 3.1 - It may be necessary to add or remove carriers based on the curtain size, fullness, and pleat spacing. To add or remove carriers, remove the motor if it is installed. Then, loosen the hardstop screw and slide it out of the track.

4. CONNECT THE MOTORS 4.1 - On a single drapery, insert the Primary motor shaft onto the motor end of the drapery track and twist the motor into place. Motor is not secure until you hear a click. See Figure 2.4.1. Figure 2.4.1 - Attach motor 4.2 - On a dual drapery, insert the Primary motor shaft onto the motor end of the window side drapery track and twist the motor into place.

5. CONNECT THE SENSOR BOX (Optional) Install the sensor box behind the drapery in a place where the Pendant is still accessible and the sensors will still detect light coming in from the window. Screw the wall plate into the desired location, using wall anchors if necessary, then slide the sensor box over the plate until it sits securely.

6. ATTACH THE DRAPERY 6.1 - Snap or hook the drapery into each carrier starting with the master carrier arm and ending with the hardstop and control end. See Figure 2.6.1. If using Pin Ripple, be sure the first carrier gets pinned away from the carrier arm, then alternate pin directions on each carrier.
8. CONNECT POWER 8.1 - On Alkaline battery powered units, untwist the Pendant Cap and insert (6) or (8) D Cell Alkaline batteries, negative end first. Then replace cap. Twist the Pendant onto the Pendant Lock until you feel it lock into place. See Figure 2.8.1. Figure 2.8.1 - Insert Batteries into the Pendant 8.2 - On Lithium Ion rechargeable battery powered units, twist the Pendant lock to secure onto the unit.

8.4 - On units with power and control over CAT5, run the wire as desired to the power and communication port. See Figure 2.8.4.1. Figure 2.8.4.1 - Run wire to power & communication port Plug the cable into the port at the bottom of the sensor box housing or motor.

1. Recessed Pocket DRAPERY TRACK INSTALLATION 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 in recessed pocket applicatons the pin setting will be “under mount”). 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.

Find where the center of your track (CT) will be placed by measuring the window opening (WO) and divide by two. See Figure 5. CT = WO Figure 5 Using a pencil, mark the location on the ceiling you want the center of the track and extrusion to be mounted.
Page 15
3. ATTACH THE EXTRUSION TO THE JOISTS Install the extrusion by screwing it into the joist(s), using the proper hardware for the substrate. If necessary, use a drill bit to create a pilot hole. For joists that run parallel to the window, screw in the extrusion where each adjacent joist meets the parallel beam Figure 10.
Page 16
4. MARK TRACK SCREW LOCATIONS If your track is spliced, assemble it now using the provided instructions. Once your extrusion has been secured to the ceiling, hold the track into the extrusion and, starting in the middle, squeeze the sides of the provided temporary retaining clip together and lift it into the extrusion, lining up the lip in the clip so it inserts into the groove in the extrusion wall.

8. INSTALL THE RETURN CLIPS Install the return clips before installing the track onto the camlocks. See Figure 19. Figure 19 - Pin connector placement options Choose one or more connection points on the top of the track end, then snap the return clip into the chosen recess or recesses. See Figure 20.

I. Install the Fascia 1. Install the Clips On ceiling mount installations, confirm the fascia clips are already installed on the track drapery, then proceed to step 2. On wall mounted track installations, snap the fascia clips into the recess at the top of the drapery track, one side at a time. Use a fascia clip between each set of brackets.
Page 19
4. Style the Returns Most fascia styles allow for returns to be bent in either a rounded or angled manner in the field. By hand, gently bend the fascia ends into the desired shape. See Figure 4. For hard bends, we recommend removing the fascia from the clips, then using a flat surface like a table to help bend the fascia.

Using the Drapery Track The Pendant, can be pulled down or pushed up, depending on the desired movement. Using the Pendant for Operation On a single drapery, pulling the Pendant down activates the curtain. Pulling down once makes the curtain move towards the next position, depending on if the curtain is open or closed.
