2.1 – Optional Wireless Jogger
As an installation aid, Smoke Guard offers an optional wireless jogger device that provides remote control and
positioning of the curtain.
Once the controller is installed and all system wiring has been completed, the jogger can be connected as
described below:
Step 1 – Power off the Controller and disconnect the batteries.
Step 2 – Remove connector at PCA J3 (white, 10-pin) and insert jogger connector at this position. Connect
jogger red wire to terminal “10. +24VDC” and jogger black wire to terminal “4. COMMON” (system
wire “4” at this terminal can temporarily be stowed unconnected.)
Step 3 –Turn on Controller power and the system automatically enters jog mode within a few seconds. Green
LED will blink while in jog mode.
WARNING: Be sure the Controller is powered down before making connections.
Operation –The curtain position can now be controlled by up/down toggle switch on the transmitter. The
curtain braking action can be adjusted by pressing the BRAKE+ and BRAKE- buttons on the jogger
until the curtain remains stationary. The yellow LED will illuminate to indicate the braking action is
active. Simultaneously pressing both BRAKE+ and BRAKE- will cancel the braking action, the yellow
LED will turn off.
NOTE: Contact Smoke Guard for additional details on the wireless jogger.
2.2 – Checklist
To help keep track of the installation process and ensure that the M2100 is correctly installed, utilize the check
boxes that verify certain critical steps have been completed. A full checklist sheet is available in the appendix.
This is an example of how checklist items will appear throughout the installation.

Section 4 – Housing Installation
The Housing is the metal box in which all the M2100 hardware is installed. The Housing allows the unit to be
installed into a header or other worksite.
The tubular motor for the M2100 unit is located on one side of the curtain assembly. Determine which side
contains the tubular motor. The curtain must unroll from the back of the housing.
NOTE: Units 9ft in length or shorter will have a single housing section and will be shipped with the curtain
assembly pre-assembled inside the housing. Large units will have multiple housing sections that will
be assembled on-site. The curtain assembly for large units will also take place on-site.
Step 1 – Verify the installation
site. Position Housing so
that it rests on the rear of
the housing.
Step 2 – Remove the Front Cover
and Curtain Assembly
components.
Step 3 – For large units, join the
housing sections
together using the
provided joiner plates.
See Figure 4.
Step 4 – Lift the Housing into
place.

Step 5 – Anchor the M2100 Housing sections into place with a #12 self-drilling screw through the mounting
bracket located on the rear panel of the Housing. If your installation is being mounted to a ceiling, the
brackets will be located on the top panel of the Housing.
Anchor Housing into place with #12 self-drilling screws through the rear or top of the Housing
depending on mounting.
NOTE: Consult your architectural drawings to verify anchors specific to your installation site and local
construction requirements.
Figure 5– This shows the location of the End Bracket in the Housing.
WARNING: It is important that the motor wires do not become entangled with the moving parts of the Curtain
Assembly. Zip tie the wires securely to the bracket to keep the wires away from the curtain tabs.
Step 6– Attach fasteners appropriate for the mounting surface at ~3 foot intervals along the remainder of the
housing. Refer to your architectural drawings to determine the appropriate fasteners
Step 7– For units with a Screen Rewind Switch and/or Edge Sensor, use the included clamps to mount the ½”
conduit to the upper rear of the housing per Figure 5.
Step 8 – Install one of the included snap in-hole plugs in the hole at the center of each housing endplate.

Section 5 – Preparing the Tubing
NOTE: For units narrower than 9ft, skip to step 5. If your curtain is mounted from the factory, skip to Section
7.
The Curtain must be attached to the Curtain Tube of the M2100 before it can be installed into the housing.
Step 1 – Locate the outer ends of the Curtain Tube Sections; one will contain the motor and the other will
contain the non-motor mounting shaft. The coupler joins the two opposite sides.
Figure 6– Aligning and joining the
pieces of curtain barrel.
Step 2 – Slide the longer section of tube over the coupler.
Step 3 – Locate the welded seam on the tubing. See Figure 7 for an example. Align the seams of the two pieces.

Section 6 – Curtain Attachment
Step 4 – Drill and rivet the non-coupler section to the coupler to complete the tube assembly.
WARNING: Do not drill in any area not identified in Figure 6 as safe. Failure to do so may cause permanent
damage to the motor.
Step 5 – Mark the side of the tubing at the weld seam location seen in Figure 7 to aid in Curtain assembly in
upcoming steps.
Step 6 – Identify the top of the Curtain (use the logo to aid in orientation) and line the top seam of the Curtain
along the welded seam. The Front of the Curtain should be facing towards the tube as it rolls up.
NOTE: The Front of the curtain is identified by sewing seams on the Curtain. The front of the Curtain is the
side with the smooth seams. Some, but not all M2100 units will have a logo stamped on both sides, so
the seams should be used to identify the Curtain.
Step 7 – Align the top of the Curtain with the weld seam and secure it to the Curtain Tube with the included
tape. Roll the Curtain around the tubing once as shown in Figure 8. Lay the metal band on the curtain
aligned with the weld seam.
Step 8 – Using the mark from step 5, carefully drill holes through the strap, 2 layers of Curtain, and tube with a
#30 bit (0.125”-0.135”). Space these holes ~12” apart and take care to avoid the motor while drilling.
Drill holes in safe
locations appropriate for
1/8” pop rivets.
Step 9 – Insert rivets through the
holes to fasten the strap
and Curtain to the
tubing. See Figure 8 for
reference on this
process.
Pop rivet the Curtain to
the tubing.
Step 10 – Roll the Curtain
completely around the
tube. Do not allow more
than ¼” of telescoping
on either side of the
tube.

Section 7 – Install the Curtain
Step 1 – Verify the Curtain assembly will fit into the Curtain support brackets with at least ¼” of space between
the Curtain and the Housing.
Verify Curtain assembly will fit into Housing with ¼” gap on the sides.
Step 2– Install the Curtain assembly into the brackets at both sides of the Housing.
NOTE: No fasteners are required to hold the Curtain assembly in the brackets.
Step 3– Pull the motor wire through either the hole on the top or endplate of the housing and secure in place
with the included cable clamp. Plug the other hole with one of the included snap-in hole plugs.
Step 4– For units with a Screen Rewind Switch and/or Edge Sensor, route the cable from the non-motor end of
the curtain tube through the previously mounted conduit. Secure this wiring and the motor wiring
away from the curtain tabs to avoid entanglement. See Figure 4 for an example.
Figure 9 – Mount the tubing into the housing and place each end into the Curtain Support Brackets.

Section 8 – Attach the Bottom Bar
Step 1 – Pull the fully deployed curtain taught to the ground.
Step 2 – The Bottom Bar assembly consists of half triangular pieces that make up the front and back and an
internal Clamp Rod with retainers on each end.
Step 3 – Layout the Bottom Bar assembly per the drawing under the unit and center it under the Curtain with 2”
of the curtain retainers exposed at each end. See Figure 10. Wrap the Curtain around the Clamp Rod,
leaving at least 1-1/2” of Curtain overlap.
Step 4 – Bring the two halves of the Bottom Bar assembly around the Clamp Rod so that the top of the
assembly halves lines up with the 1-1/2” Curtain overlap. Temporarily clamp the Bottom Bar halves
together to hold the assembly in place. See Figures 10 & 11.
Bring the two halves of the assembly around the clamp rod.
WARNING: Do not connect the components of the Bottom Bar Assembly without the Curtain. The Curtain
must be connected to the assembly.
Figure 10 – Clamp the bottom bar assembly in place in this
position.
NOTE: Curtain not shown. Do not fasten
Bottom Bar without Curtain.

13
Step 5 – With the Bottom Bar assembly securely on the floor, pull the Curtain through the Bottom Bar
assembly to remove any slack from the Curtain.
NOTE: Pulling the overlapped section of Curtain to remove slack will also seat the Clamp Rod properly into
place inside the Bottom Bar assembly. See Figure 11.
Step 5 – Ensure the Curtain is free of slack and the Bottom Bar assembly is properly set up (see Figure 11).
Fasten the assembly together using the supplied 1/8” steel rivets (necessary for fire-rated curtains) or
low-profile self-drilling screws.
NOTE: If self-drilling screws are used in Step 5, it will be necessary to grind off the back side to ensure there is
no more than 1/8” protrusion.
Step 6 – Using the supplied thread sew the Curtain to the Bottom Bar Retainers by threading it together through
the holes at the edges of the Bottom Bar assembly. See Figure 12 for thread routing.
Figure 11– (LEFT) The arrangement of components. (RIGHT) The assembly when it is fastened together. Note the
Curtain is pulled tight around the rod which is pulled against the top of the triangle.

Figure 12– Sew the Curtain in a circular pattern as shown in this image. The specialized thread should enter from one side, pass
under the Curtain rod and then back through the Curtain.
NOTE: The sides of the Curtain cannot be riveted due to Side Guide clearance. They must be sewn to ensure
smooth operation.
Step 7 – Trim the excess Curtain protruding from the top of the Bottom Bar assembly.
Step 8 – If necessary, slide additonal ballast to the Bottom Bar assembly by inserting an additional steel rod into
the open triangle cavity as seen in Figue 11. The additional weight ensures that the Curtain will fall to
the floor in the event of AC and backup battery power loss.
Sew each side of the Curtain to the Bottom bar assembly using the supplied thread.

8.1 – Attach the Roller Bracket
NOTE: Roller Bracket is only required on very wide units. Reference layout drawings to determine if one is
necessary.
Step 1 – Roll the Curtain tightly into the housing. Do not allow more than 1/8” of telescoping on either side.
Step 2 – Zip tie or tape the Curtain to temporarily keep it suspended in the Housing.
Step 3 – Position the roller bracket as close as possible to the center of the Curtain so that the center most seam
of the Curtain will be supported.
Step 4 – Slots in the bottom of the Roller Bracket allow you to fit a drill up to the top of the housing.
Step 5 – Use two fasteners to anchor the Roller Bracket through the cutouts provided.

Section 9 – Attach the Side Guides
The Side Guides are shipped in multiple parts and must be assembled at the installation site.
Step 1 – Measure the distance from the finished floor to the bottom of the Housing on each side.
Step 2 – If necessary, cut the
bottom of the pre-
assembled Guides to
length so the top of
the Guide is flush
with the bottom of
the Housing.
WARNING: Do not cut the
top of the Side
Guides (the top is
identified by bends
in the assembly).
Step 3 – Raise the Guides
into place.
Step 4 – There are two means of attaching the M2100 Guides.
IF ATTACHING TO JAMB OR INTO
POCKET: Insert a drill extension with a
backing-appropriate anchor through the
slot at the top of the Guide, lower the drill
to the first pre-drilled hole and anchor into
the wall surface.
IF ATTACHING TO FACE OF AN
OPENING: Drill out the hole on the
outside face of each Guide to 9/16”. Insert
a drill extension with a backing-
appropriate anchor through the holes on
and anchor into the wall surface. Cover the
holes with the included 9/16” plugs.

Step 5 – Insert the Curtain tabs down into the side guide slots. See Figure 14.
Step 6 – Pull the Curtain down the guides until all of the Curtain material is unwound from the roll.
9.1 – Attach Up-Limit Stops
Step 1 – If the Curtain in your installation must seat below the
Housing rather than flush with the bottom of it, attach the optional
Up Limit Stops to the side guide. These stops will line up with the
Bottom Bar assembly and stop the Curtain at the correct point
during calibration. There must be 2 Up Limit Stops on each side of
the M2100 for a total of 4. See Figure 15 for an image of the Up-
Limit Stops.
