TIMER CONTROL:Home security. Energy savings. Convenience.
WE RECOMMEND lamp timer switches. Digital timers with battery backup are preferred because during a power outage the battery saves your settings and the correct
time-of-day. Some are “astronomic” and automatically adjust to daylight savings time changes. We also like rotary dial timers which are inexpensive and reliable.
Timer label must state that it is approved for appliance use, motor load, or say HP, 1/4 or 1/3. Never use timer with dimming capability (AC-DC Adapter will be damaged).
Timer ON setting controls WHEN window covering is repositioned. The timer must be set to switch OFF after every ON.
Example: Open window covering at 8:30 AM, and close it at 7:00 PM.
1. Set Timer for current time of day (AM-PM).
2. Set Timer to switch ON at 8:30 AM. IMPORTANT: Set Timer to switch OFF as soon as possible thereafter. For example, OFF at 9:00 AM.
3. Set Timer to switch ON at 7:00 PM. IMPORTANT: Set Timer to switch OFF as soon as possible thereafter. For example, OFF at 7:30 PM.
Note: To open or close sooner than a preset time, turn Timer manual switch to ON. Motor will operate and stop at set position. To return to original open/closed
schedule, manually switch timer OFF.
MANUAL CONTROL: Example: During electrical power outage … unplug motor, unlock motor and raise up on wall bracket. Pull window covering cord or chain by hand.
When power is restored, repeat Step 6. ALWAYS open window covering half-way before connecting power to motor. Set motor to stop 4 inches before full open.
TROUBLE SHOOTING First, check remote control battery. Press OFF button. LED should light. If not, replace battery.
Motor does not operate. Push Switch 2c to opposite side then back. Retry.
♦Plug Adapter directly into wall outlet. Motor should operate immediately;
otherwise outlet is controlled by switch that is Off, or Adapter is damaged.
♦Loose plug in motor jack. Tie tape around plug, but leave 4” free end.
Pull free end of tape to side, make it slightly taut and attach to motor housing.
♦UL fuse in AC-DC Adapter opened. Try other Adapter with 12-volt DC output,
1 amp max. Output plug must be center positive.−+
Open −closed sequence has reversed.
♦An electric power failure can change Timer settings. Verify AM-PM, and
time of day settings. Also, verify that an OFF setting follows every ON.
♦Timed event preempted. Refer to TIMER CONTROL section.
VACATION CHECKLIST
1. If remote control is used, unplug motor to prevent a spurious signal from operating.

3. Adjust Actuator to stop motor 10 inches or more before full open.
