MOTORISATION
For motorised awnings you may need a qualified electrician to trim and attach plug to the lead or hardwire.
Program motor as per instructions: https://www.betta-blinds.com.au/bbaa/installation-guides
A Cassette/Pelmet is recommended with motorised awnings to protect the motor from the elements.
If no cassette has been ordered the awning will need to be installed where the motor can be protected
from the elements. Motor warranty does not cover water damage.
Caution: Like all outdoor blinds, it is prudent to retract the blind in the presence of strong winds.

Fitting the Semi Cassette Pelmet
1. Remove the awning from the pelmet.
2. Measure the width of the hood then the width of the window. The difference between the two is the total
amount of overhang your box will have. Divide this number by two to determine how much overhang you will
have on each side. E.g. If the hood measures 2300 and the window measures 2000, the total overhang will be
300mm. dividing by two equals 150mm each side of the window.
3. Pre-drill the holes for the Pelmet as per the desired fixing points below.
4. Carefully raise the Pelmet into position ensuring that it is horizontal. Mark the holes
