Installation Overview
Installation of Vertical Celullar shades varies based on the shade mounting type, stacking design, and the valance type selected.
Mounting Types and Window Terminology
Review the mounting types and basic window terminology illustrated below. Determine if your shade is an outside mount or inside mount. For ceiling mount applications, refer to the inside mount instructions.
Head Jamb
Jamb Jamb
Window or
Patio/Sliding Door
Floor
Shade mounts outside
Stacking Design
Determine which Vertiglide stacking design you are installing: left stack or right stack.
If a sliding glass door opens from the right side, a left stack design is best. If the door opens from the left side, a right stack design is best.
NOTE: A left stack design is shown throughout these instructions. Procedures for a right stack design are the same but at opposite sides of the fabric stack and headrail.
Next Step
Refer to the page below based on your shade mounting type:

Set Cord Tension
Unwrap the cord from the orange cord organizer.
Remove any twists by running a finger between the two cords.
Note that both ends of the cords are tied to washers to prevent the cords from slipping into the vertical rail.
Study the cording diagram below. The cords are connected to the end plate that is opposite the fabric stack. (In the illustration, the two cords are shaded differently to make the routing easier to follow.)
One of the washers is anchored to the end plate in the middle slot. The cord is routed under the end plate and into the slot so that the washer is on the inside of the end plate, as shown.
The washer on the other cord is trimmed off and the end is tied to the cord tensioner. Then that cord is looped around the “T” near the front of the end plate.
IMPORTANT: The top of the looped cord must be the portion of the cord coming from the cord tensioner.

Resetting the Shade (If Necessary)
Calibration Reset
The calibration reset is used to recalibrate the shade’s travel limits.
1. Press and hold the programming button for approximately 6 seconds. The shade will move slightly. Release the programming button (the light flashes red).
2. The shade will raise to its fully open position to reestablish the upper travel limit, then lower to the fully closed position to reestablish the lower travel limit. The middle rail will then move slightly twice (up, then down) to indicate that the travel limits were recalibrated.
3. Press and hold the manual control button for 6 seconds. The shade will move slightly.
4. Release the manual control button. The shade will traverse to its fully open position to set the open travel limit, then traverse to the fully closed position to set the closed travel limit. The shade will move slightly one more time to indicate that the travel limits have been reset.
Resetting Shade Programming
The programming reset erases shade programming from memory, including group assignments, preventing input devices from operating the shade. The primary use is to correct group and network assignments during installation. The reset does not aect travel limits or the favorite position.
1. Press and hold the programming button for approximately 12 seconds. The shade will move slightly aer 6 seconds, then again aer 12 seconds. Release the programming button (the light flashes red). The light then flashes a series of green and red to indicate that shade programming is erased from memory.
2. Refer to “Joining a Shade to a Group” on page 18 to program the shade to a group.
Dual Operation
An innovative feature of Kirsch® Cellular Shades Vertical Cellular Automation is dual operation: the shade can be operated either motorized or manually. The drive belt automatically disengages aer each motorized use, allowing the shade to be traversed manually. When the remote is used, the drive belt automatically re-engages for motorized operation.
With dual operation, the automation app can be used for precise positioning of the shade. The App knows the position of the shade when the motor re-engages, so if the shade has been moved manually, the App positions the shade correctly.
