MECHANISM MOUNT ING Before installation, double check that the wall recess matches the specified height and width that can be found on the corresponding model technical sheet. Insert the mechanism into the recess in the wall, maintaining a symmetrical alignment about the screen. With the mechanism in place, fix through the top and bottom front edge of the mechanism.

S T O P POS I TI ON ADJUS TMENT In the below view the right hand upright has been removed. It is not necessary to remove this part in order to gain access to the controls, as long as you use a very thin flat head screwdriver. The two adjusters below can be rotated to change the TOP and BOTTOM positions of the mechanism.
FI NAL CHE CKS Make sure the mechanism is fixed securely on the wall and that there are no objects obstructing the path of the mechanism. Test the mechanism movement with the canvas in place to see if there are any issues with the movement cycle.
REPLACING MECHANISM BATTERIES The standard Future Automation Infrared (IR) remote control required x2 AAA batteries to operate. These are provided with the mechanism in the Accessories Pack. These batteries can be replaced as the per the image below.

IN FR ARE D ( I R) This mechanism can be controlled via the supplied 14 button Infrared (IR) Remote Control, paired with the supplied Infrared (IR) lead and sensor. The mechanism's functions can be controlled by plugging the Infrared (IR) lead and sensor into the 3.5mm IR Input Jack shown on the General Mechanism Control page.
RADIO FREQUENCY ( R F) If purchased with the Radio Frequency (RF) control option, this mechanism can be controlled via the supplied 4 button Radio Frequency (RF) Remote Control, paired with the in-built Radio Frequency (RF) sensor. Confirmation of Radio Frequency (RF) input will be shown by a single flash of the large green LED located on the end of the control box.

C ON TA CT CLOS URE This Mechanism can be controlled via Contact Closure, utilising an 8 Pin RJ45 Connector attached to a length of CAT5 (Type 568A or 568B) cable. The mechanism’s functions can be controlled by plugging this into the RJ45 port on the mechanism control board, then shorting pins 1-8 on this connector as shown in the Contact Closure Input Table below.
Page 18
RS 23 2 CONTROL This Mechanism can be controlled via RS232, utilising a 6 Pin RJ11/RJ25 connector OR 9 Pin Serial connector attached to a length of 6 core cable. The mechanism's functions can be controlled by plugging this into the RJ11/RJ25 port on the mechanism control box, then inputting the RS232 commands shown in the RS232 Input Table below.
