Installation Guide for Betta 7000 Straight Drop Awning
with Wire Guide and Brackets
Please Note: These instructions should be read thoroughly before installing.
This is a guide to assist in the installation and care of your external awnings. Betta Blinds and Awnings do not
guarantee the accuracy of the information contained in this guide. We recommend an experienced expert installer
to rely upon their own skills. This is based on general knowledge concerning the assembly, materials and working
process of the external blinds, which is known to us at the time of printing this guide, consequently, is subject to
change and Betta Blinds and Awnings specifically reserves the right to change this guide without notification.
Ensure all components are included in your packaging, before proceeding to install:
Universal brackets x 2
Gearbox
Blind
Wire cable x 2
Rapid Lock 15mm & 35mm x 2
Release Key x 1
Barrel Nut x 2
Nut x 6
L Bracket or Deck hinge, (whichever is
required)
Crank handle (if required)
Split pin x 1
Pivot pin and plate with nut and bolt
Latch & Saddle (if required)
Nut & Bolt for gear x 2 each
You will also need: Screws, plugs, Philips head screwdriver, good quality wire snips, drill, hammer drill (if drilling
into concrete), measuring tape and spirit level
If installing on a brick wall NEVER put the screw into a mortar line. If the position, you need to drill is over a
mortar line move up to the centre of the brick above that position.
Check the size of your blind against the label, which will be attached to the packaging, or it could be on the
blind.
1. Install the pivot pin into the end of the blind and plate to the idle end bracket, using nut and bolt provided. You
will now have two different brackets the control end and idle end.
2. Install Brackets - The outside measurement from bracket to bracket is the OPEN size, it is the width of your
awning. Mark where the control end bracket is to be installed and the idle end. Drill, plug and attach brackets.
Ensure that the positions where the fasteners run through the brackets are secured into brick, or into the wall’s
structural support. NB: Ensure that the brackets are fitted level horizontally.
4. Attach gearbox to bracket, using nut and bolt provided. The gearbox can be positioned on two different angles
depending on fitting requirements. The gear can be positioned vertically or on a 25 degrees angle facing out,
use appropriate bracket holes for the gear position you need. Betta Blinds recommend the gearbox to be
angled outwards for ease of use. NB: Bolt from the outside in.
5. Hang the blind. The motor end / crank end (square tube end) goes in first. Drop the other end onto the slotted
part of the pin. Secure this end with the split pin supplied.
6. Installing wire cable - To assemble the Rapid Lock, first push and twist the wire into the 35mm Rapid Lock
stud (the longer stud) till it reaches the end. Wire needs to be twisted in the direction as shown below to avoid
fraying. Then, pull to tighten.
7.
NOTE: To release the wire,place release key on the wire and push it into the rapid lock stud and pull wire out

Please see Video: How to attach & remove the wire
https://www.loom.com/share/a7222d33554c4650ae89500856510d70
8. Attach the Barrel Nut to the bracket and then add the top Rapid Lock and fasten the nut, allow for extra thread
for adjustment when the bottom Rapid Lock is assembled.
9. Install Bottom L Brackets at the bottom fixing point.
10. Feed cable through end caps on the bottom rail.
11. Fasten the 15mm Rapid Lock on to the L Bracket, then pull wire taut and cut the wire approximately halfway
along the 15mm Rapid Lock as below picture demonstrates. Then repeat step 7 and step 8 to finish installing
the bottom Rapid Lock. With top and bottom Rapid Locks in place make final tension adjustments by
tightening either top or bottom nut
NOTE: If Deck hinges are used, first fasten the 15mm Rapid Lock onto Deck hinge then repeat step 7 and step 8 to
assemble top Rapid Lock. The wire will be cut approximately halfway along the 30mm Rapid Lock.
12. Insert crank handle into eyelet and wind your blind down.
13. If you’re using lockdown latches position saddles where required and attach to bottom fixing point refer to
picture below. See below if the awning has a valance.

If you order a valance you will need to do your own fabric cut out for the bottom rail saddle position onsite
15. Mark the bottom of the valance where the saddle is to be positioned (in line with the bottom fixing point). Mark
both the left and right saddle positions
16. Remove the bottom rail end caps.
17. Slide the valance out of the bottom rail past the marked position
18. With a sharp pair of scissors make a cut out for the saddle to sit in (See picture 1 below)
19. Slide the valance and saddle back into the bottom rail (See picture 2 & 3 below)
20. Repeat steps 17, 18 and 19 for the second saddle.
21. Attach bottom rail end caps.

MOTORISATION
For motorised awnings you may need a qualified electrician to trim and attach plug to the lead.
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 Weather Box
1. Remove the awning from the weather box.
2. Attach end caps to hood using rivets supplied (3 at each end).
3. 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.
4. Carefully raise the hood into position ensuring that it is horizontal. Mark the top drill hole
through the eyelet - refer to picture 1 - and then the bottom hole.
5. Pre-drill all holes and plug. When all holes are drilled, carefully position the hood, and
fasten with screws.
6. If needed install the pivot pin into the end of the blind and plate to the idle end of the hood, using nut and bolt
