Step 1. Cut roller tube to required length.

Please refer to Rollease Acmeda System Assembly Manual for full assembly instructions relevant to the
hardware system being used.

Step 2. Ensure roller tube is clean and free from burrs.

Step 3. Fit required crown, drive and bracket adapters.

Step 4. Slide Motor into tube.

Insert by aligning key-way in crown and drive
wheel into the tube.

Step 5. Mount motorized tube onto brackets.

Refer to Rollease Acmeda System Assembly
Manual for recommended crown, drive and
bracket adapter kits.

1 ASSEMBLY

For impact dectection to be functional, a 2
piece drive set must be used. Using a standard
1 piece drive will render the collision control
feature inoperable even if the feature is turned
on.

Tube must be close fitting with chosen crown
and drive adapters. A Hall effect sensor
embedded in the tube measures the magnetic
field change and detect the impact. Refer to
Rollease Acmeda System Assembly Manual
for recommended crown, drive and bracket
adapter kits.

Once the motor receives a command from the wind sensor the motor will respond accordingly. At this point
the motor will ignore any other remote or sensor commands for 8 minutes. This function is needed to
avoiding contradicting multiple triggers. Keep this in mind when testing the motor with the remote after the
winds sensor has been triggered.

After the limits has been set and paired to a sensor. The motor will perform a self-check function with the
sensor every 30 minutes.

This is used to check if the wind sensor is within range or has sufficient battery power to function (on line). If
the motor does not receive a positive confirmation signal from the sensor (after 30 minutes). The motor will
move to the upper limit (safe position).

If the sensor remains off-line and the motor is overdriven with a remote, the motor will move in a step or
jolting mode to highlight that there is something wrong (sensor off-line) .

This function can be disabled and enabled as follows:

11 TROUBLE SHOOTING

Problem

Cause

Remedy

Motor is not responding

A/C power supply not plugged in.

Check motor to power cable
connection and AC plug

Transmitter battery is discharged

Replace battery

Radio interference/shielding

Ensure transmitter is positioned
away from metal objects and the
aerial on motor or receiver is kept
straight and away from metal

Receiver distance is to far from
transmitter

Move transmitter to a closer
position

Power failure

Check power supply to motor is
connected and active

Incorrect wiring

Check that wiring is connected
correctly (refer to motor
installation instructions)

Multiple motors are paired to the
same channel

Always reserve an individual
channel for programming functions

SYSTEM BEST PRACTICE - Provide
an extra 15 channel controller in
your multi-motor projects, that
provides individual control for each
motor for programming purposes

Place all other motors into sleep
mode (refer to P1 button function
overview - Section 3)

Cannot program a single Motor
(multiple motors respond)
