INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALL ATI O N & OPERATION
Important Safety Information
WARNING
Improper installation and use of Motorized FlexShade can result in serious injur y or death.
Primarily, injuries can occur when the Motorized FlexShade falls due to imprecise installation, mishandling of the Motorized FlexShade during
installation or installation on an insufficient wall or ceiling structure. Please use extreme care.
1.
Please read the following installation guidelines thorougAQhly and follow them carefully. Failure to do so may cause product to fall or otherwise fail, and could result
in serious injury.
2.
Installation and calibration of the Motorized FlexShade should only be per formed by an authorized, qualified, and experienced professional. In particular, electrical
work and wiring [indicated in diagram by dashed lines] must be completed only by a qualified professional electrician who has read this manual completely and is
familiar with the construction and operation of this equipment and the hazards involved.
3.
Do not affix the unit to wall or ceilings that have inadequate strength to permanently hold the unit during use. It is the owner’s and installer’s responsibilit y to confirm
the wall or ceiling to which the unit attaches is sufficient to permanently hold the weight and stress loads of the unit at all times. Draper, Inc., is not responsible for
improper installation, application, testing or workmanship related to the product at place of installation.
4.
It is the installer’s responsibility to make sure appropriate fasteners are used for mounting.
5.
All brackets, fascia, head boxes, pockets, wall clips, and other hardware must be installed level. Motorized FlexShade must be level and square.
6.
Never leave the area while operating the Motorized FlexShade during installation, maintenance, or normal operation, unless it is secure and safe.
7.
Before testing or operation, carefully inspect the entire area and path of the shade and areas underneath the shade to be sure no persons or objects are in the area.
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 par ts to avoid possible injur y.
14.
Operation of Motorized FlexShade should be performed only by authorized and qualified personnel, who have been trained in the safe and effective operation of the
Motorized FlexShade & understand its safety features.
15.
The safety features of the Motorized FlexShade , 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.
16.
Motorized FlexShade may need to comply with local, state or district rules and regulations, in particular when installed in schools. All applicable rules and
regulations should be reviewed before installation and use.
17.
Failure to precisely follow installation guidelines invalidates all warranties.
18.
Custom products/installations may not be reflected in this manual. Call Draper, Inc., if you have questions about the installation of custom products or any questions
about your installation.
Before Beginning Installation
1.
Look for any job site conditions that could interfere with installation or operation of the system.
2.
Read carefully and be sure to understand all installation instructions and all related operations manuals. These instructions are intended to as a guide for the
installer and owner. They should be followed closely and combined with the expertise of experienced qualified installers. Draper, Inc., is not responsible for
improper installation, application, testing or workmanship related to the product at place of installation. Please retain all instructions for future use.
3.
Open cartons lengthwise.
4.
Locate and lay out all pieces.
5.
Inspect all boxes to make sure you have received the proper Motorized FlexShade and parts. Controls may be shipped separately, or in same carton as Motorized
FlexShade.
6.
If you have any difficulties with installing, servicing or operating your Motorized FlexShade , call your dealer or Draper, Inc., (765) 987-7999.
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 lef t, 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 and Phifer SW7000 fabrics, which must be cleaned with a dry art sponge.
