8. Turn off power and any nearby equipment or cables carrying electricity before connecting switches, wires, controls, or electrical components.
9. Make sure the limit switches are pointed down or accessible when placing the motor in brackets/endcaps.
10. All motors should be tested and limits set using test cord before shades are wired.
11. Do not wire motors in parallel without written permission from Draper, Inc.
12. During testing or operation, carefully watch the surrounding area for any potential safety concerns including nearby persons or objects.
13. After installation, the entire system, including all sensors, should be carefully tested to ensure safe and normal operation.
Extreme care should be taken during testing to remain clear of moving parts to avoid possible injury.
14. Operation of FlexShade XL should be performed only by authorized and qualified personnel, who have been trained in the safe and effective operation of the
FlexShade XL & understand its safety features.
15. The safety features of the FlexShade XL, including sensors, should never be disabled, bypassed or overridden. The system should not be operated until all safety
features, including the sensors, are properly and completely installed, calibrated and tested.

1 Make sure mounting surface is strong enough to hold the FlexShade XL.
Please Note: It is the responsibility of installer to use appropriate fasteners for the mounting surface.
2 Verify unit measurements, and make sure it will fit in the desired location.
Please Note: The Hembar does not retract into the Headbox.
This will need to be accounted for if mounting over a swinging window or door.
3 Mounting brackets MUST be installed with a gap of 1¾" (45mm) between the End Cap and the Mounting Bracket
edge (See Fig. 1). Mark wall, jamb or ceiling. Brackets must be spaced no more than 5 feet (152cm).
4 Drill small starter holes (if necessary) in mounting surface.
Section 2 - Mounting Headbox with Brackets - Wall Installation
Attaching Mounting Brackets
1 Attach mounting brackets to the wall using #10 flat head screws
installed flush with bracket. Be sure to use AT LEAST 2 of the
top mounting holes (See Fig. 2).
2 Attach Headbox to brackets and tighten Set Screws (See Fig. 2).
3 You are now ready to mount the Side Channels (See Page 2).

Section 5 - Electrical Connections
Shade operates on 110-120V, 60 Hz. current. Shade is shipped with internal wiring complete and control switch(es) fully boxed, and standardly supplied with a
6’ cable lead. Longer lead can be substituted by removing two screws in motor end of roller, removing lead, plugging new lead in, and replacing screws. Wire to
connect shade to switch(es) and switch(es) to power supply should be furnished by installer. Connections should be made in accordance with attached wiring
diagram, and wiring should comply with national and local electrical codes. DO NOT wire motors in parallel without written permission from Draper.
All operating switches should be “off” before power is connected.
Please Note: For low voltage wiring requirements, Draper recommends consulting with a professional low voltage electrical contractor.
It is very important that shielded and stranded CAT 5 cable be used to prevent any electrical interference.
Section 6 - Limit Switch Adjustments
Section 6.1 - Standard and Quiet Motors
Caution: Be sure all switches are in “off” position before adjusting limit switches. Always be prepared to shut off manually when new adjustment is being
tested. Do not allow the shade roller to become exposed by running the shade fabric too far down. Shade may be severely damaged if allowed to
run too far up or down. Each shade’s limit switch must be set if using group control system. Motor should be installed so limit switches are pointed
down or accessible.
Section 6.1.1- Push Button Limits
PUSH BUTTON LIMITS
1. Fully depress both limit switch push buttons, then operate wall switch to make sure system works properly.
2. Raise shade to desired “up” stop position.
3. Set upper limit by depressing and releasing the proper (back) push button.
4. Lower shade to desired “down” stop position.
5. Set lower limit by depressing and releasing the proper (front) push button.

Section 6.2 - Limit Switch Adjustments—RTS Motors
For limit setting instructions on these motors, see Draper’s RFRC_Motor_Prog_Inst available in the motorized shades section of www.draperinc.com.
Field Adjustments
Each Draper Solar Control Shade is tested to ensure proper operation. Even with this testing, some field adjustments may be needed for telescoping.
If the shade is telescoping, place a piece of high quality gaffer tape about 1" wide on the exposed roller (where the fabric will cover it) on the side that the
fabric will be drawn toward. For example: if the fabric is tracking to the left, place the tape on the right side.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Window covering products manufactured by Draper, when properly installed, should require no operational maintenance or lubrication.
Most of Draper’s standard fabrics may be cleaned at the window by vacuuming with a soft brush attachment. They also may be cleaned by using a sponge
or soft cloth and mild solution of warm soapy water. A mild dishwashing liquid is recommended. A clean dry cloth is recommended for the metal finish.
Please Note: Exceptions are Flocké, Roc-Rol, Obion and Phifer SW7000 fabrics, which must be cleaned with a dr y art sponge.
