Roller Shade Installation Instructions
Using a Battery Motor & Attached Wand Control in a Cassette Mount
INTRODUCTION:
The Roller Shade Motorized System
is used to electronically control the
shade using a motor and attached wand
control. By using the attached wand
control, the operator can raise and
lower the shade smoothly and precisely.
Figure 1 shows an assembled roller
shade battery motor and wand control in
a cassette mount.
The Roller Shade can be mounted either inside or outside the
window casing. Use the smallest diameter roller tube for your
application to ensure you have space inside the cassette when the
shade fabric is completely rolled up. The shade can be regular wind
or reverse wind as shown below in Figure 2.

FABRICATION:
Step 2. Use a fine tooth hacksaw to cut the cassette to
1
the proper length. The length of the cassette should be the
overall width you measured in Step 1 minus ¼" to allow for
the cassette end caps.
NOTE: Be sure to mark and cut the cassette straight
and not at an angle as it will not allow the end caps to
fit properly.
