Figure 1
Ceiling (Surface) Installation—
① Open bottom access panel. A spring latch at each end of the trap door
holds this assembly closed. In some shades there may also be a spring
latch near the center of the case. To gain access to inside of case, disen gage spring latch at each end of the case (and near the center of the case,
if applicable) by sliding the latch lever towards the center of case, then
pull down slightly on the trap door assembly. The latch levers are some what concealed from view. Locate these with the trap door open by feeling
for the vertical latch lever above the door about 3" from case endcaps and
near the center of the case. The assembly will swing down, opening about
135°. Pivot the prop arms at each end of the trap door assembly towards
the ends of case. Prop arms engage with a hole in each endcap to hold
the trap door assembly fully open. To close the trap door assembly disen gage prop arms from endcaps and pivot these over the access panel.
Swing the trap door as sem bly upward, stopping just before the latch
levers hit the bottom fl anges of the endcaps (and center of case where
appropriate). Pull levers of latches towards center of screen case to allow
the trap door assembly to be pivoted to its closed position. Make sure that
the spring latch levers engage fully with case endcaps (and center of case
where appropriate).

Screen operates on 110-120V, 60 Hz. cur rent.
Junc tion box is lo cat ed in the upper left corner of the headbox.
Open the access panel/trap door for access to the junction box cover. (See
bottom access panel/trap door opening and closing instructions under "Ceiling
(Surface) Installation".)
Remove two (2) hex head screws that secure the cover to the junction box to
expose the red, black, and white pigtail leads and the green ground wire per
wiring diagram on back page.
Shade is shipped with internal wiring complete and control switch(es) fully
boxed. Wire to connect shade to switch(es) and switch(es) to power supply
should be furnished by installer. Con nec tions should be made in ac cor dance
with attached wiring diagram, and wiring should comply with national and
local electrical codes.
All operating switches should be “off” before power is connected.
Please Note: For low voltage wiring requirements, Draper recommends con-
sulting 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.
Each Draper Solar Control Shade is tested to ensure proper operation.
Even with this testing, some fi eld 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 you
want the fabric drawn toward. For example: if the fabric is tracking to the left,
place the tape on the right side.
If you encounter any diffi culties installing or ser vic ing your Ultimate Access FlexShade,
call your dealer or Draper, Inc., in Spiceland, Indiana, 765/987-7999 or fax 765/987-7142.

Limit Switch Adjustments
CAUTION: Be sure all switches are in “off” position before adjusting limit
switches. Always be pre pared to shut off man u al ly when new ad just ment is
being tested. Do not allow the shade roller to become exposed by run-
ning the shade fabric too far down. Shade may be se vere ly damaged if
allowed to run too far up or down. Each shade’s lim it switch must be set if us-
ing group control system. Motor should be installed so limit switches are
pointed down or accessible.
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.
Screw-Type Limits
① Determine which direction of fabric travel corresponds with arrows on
motor.
② Operate shade to desired “down” stop position. Set limit by turning the
proper socket toward the “+” to lower the limit, and “-” to raise it.
③ Operate shade to desired “up” stopping position. Set limit by turning the
proper screw toward the “-” to raise the limit, and “+” to lower it.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Idlers on motorized shades may occasionally need lubrication. If lubrication is required, apply a small amount of a lithium based grease direct to the
idler pin.
Most of Draper’s standard fabrics may be cleaned at the window by
vacuuming with a soft brush attachment. They may also be cleaned by using
a sponge or soft cloth and mild solution of warm soapy water. A dishwashing
liquid, such as Ivory liquid, is recommended. A clean dry cloth is recommended for the metal fi nish. Exceptions are Flocké, Roc-Rol and Phifer SW7000
fabrics, which must be cleaned with a dry art sponge.
