Probable cause and solution
•
Check for correct voltage on the outlet and/or the circuit
breaker.
•
Make sure the electrical installation was made according
to the wiring table on page 2.
•
Change the battery in your remote.
•
Check the maximum weight capacity of the motor to
make sure the motor used can handle the load.
•
The crown is not properly fitted to the tube.
•
The motor has exceeded thermal overheat protection.
Wait for the motor to cool down for approximately 15 min.
•
The drive and the crown are not well adapted to the tube.
•
The shade is not snug between the brackets.
•
Debris, screws or other items are in your tube.
Note:
The noise level of any motorized shade installed in a cassette or
fascia will always be higher. Take into consideration that a cassette is an
enclosed structure that will behave like an echo chamber.
•
The circuit could be overloaded and the motors are
shutting down on overheat protection. Make sure there are
no more than 5 motors per 15 A breaker or additional
loads.
•
The motor has reached its maximum number of turns.
Take into consideration the maximum length of the shade
will be:
L = � x ø x Max. # of turns
Maximum # of turns of the motor*
Tube diameter
Mathematical constant (3.14)
Maximum length of the shade
*The maximum # of turns can be found on each motor label.
•
For very large shades use a motor with electronic limits.
