Some advertised drapery heights are not precise. To be certain of
bracket installation height (BH), carefully measure the drapery
height. With a pencil, locate the vertical position of the wall bracket
based on the drapery height (DH), bottom clearance (BC), and track
exposure (TE). See Figure 3.
Minimum track exposure for under mount applications is 1.25”.
Recommended bottom clearance is 1/2” to 1”.

Slide the wall bracket over until the vertical pencil mark aligns with
the centerline of the wall bracket and the horizontal pencil mark
aligns with the bottom side of the wall bracket camlock protrusion.
Using appropriate mounting hardware and installation methods,
securely mark and screw the wall bracket to the wall. Do not over
tighten. There should be no movement between the bracket and
wall after installation.
Bracket spacing should never exceed 48”. Always place a 2nd bracket
within 12” of the outer bracket on the motor end of the track. See
Figure 5.

Pro Tip: The track can be used as a straight edge to help locate the
correct position of interior wall brackets. Once the outer brackets
have been installed, place the track on the top of the outer bracket
with the carriers facing up. Check the levelness and the distance to
Figure 6 - Put level on track
Figure 7 - Use track as straight edge to mark bracket positions.
Figure 8 - Screw in wall anchor and install brackets
Figure 9 - Drill pilot hole and install brackets
A) If using wall anchors
for each wall anchor. In cases where the anchor needs to be
installed through drywall mud and drywall tape, a 1/4” pilot
reduce the likelihood of wall anchors stripping. Avoid stripping
the anchors by reducing torque level on your drill. Place the bracket
against the wall, lining the holes up with the anchors. Screw in each
screw to secure bracket. Do not over torque. There should be no
bracket movement after installation. Top of bracket should be level
after installation. See Figure 8.
B) If drilling into studs, wall anchors are necessary. Carefully drill
a pilot hole for all screws. Use a 7/64” drill bit for the pilot holes if
using the provided screws. Place the bracket against the wall, lining
the holes in the bracket up with the holes in the wall. Screw in each
screw until secure. Make sure your screw has solid embedment into
the stud. Do not over torque. There should be no bracket movement
after installation. Top of bracket should be level after installation.
See Figure 9.
C) If drilling into something other than drywall or studs,
consider the substrate and pre-drill holes accordingly. Place the
bracket against the wall, lining the holes in the bracket up with
the holes in the wall. Screw in each screw until secure. Do not over
torque. There should be no bracket movement after installation.
Top of bracket should be level after installation. See Figure 10.
Figure 10 - Drill pilot hole and install brackets
your marks where each bracket needs to go. See Figure 7.

2. INSTALL THE TRACK
Figure 16a - Push the track up
Figure 15 - Camlock in open position
Before installing the track, measure the length of the track to
determine the centerline.
Begin with the camlocks in the open position. See Figure 15.
Mark the centerline of the track.
On unspliced tracks, starting in the middle, secure the track onto
each of the brackets using each camlock. Push the track upward
so the camlock feature rests in the groove of the top of the track.
Position the track to properly cover the window. For center draw
applications, align the centerline of the track with the centerline of
the window opening. See Figure 16a.
Starting in the middle, secure the track onto each of the brackets
using each camlock.
Turn the camlock arm to the right so the features inside the top
track groove bite in and hold. Once all the camlocks are closed, use
a screwdriver to tighten each camlock so the track is secure. See
Figure 16b.
Figure 16b - Turn the camlock arm to tighten
Figure 17a - Take off camlock.
If your track is spliced, on the center bracket, remove the camlock
from the bracket by unthreading it by hand. Leave the washer and
screw on the bracket. See Figure 17a.
Push the track upwards so the camlock features on all brackets but
the center rest in the groove of the top of the track. Position the
track to properly cover the window.
Starting with the brackets to the left and right of the center bracket,
secure the track using each camlock.
Turn the camlock arm to the right so the features inside the top
track groove bite in and hold. Once all the camlocks are closed, use
a screwdriver to tighten each camlock so the track is secure. See
Figure 17b.
Once the other brackets are secured, twist the screw in the center
bracket into place through the threaded hold in the center of the
splice, adjusting the splice placement slightly if necessary.
Figure 17b - Turn the camlock arm to tighten/ screw center bracket
into splice.

Based on where the window is located, there may be a desire to
reverse the orientation of an overlap carrier arm set. To reverse the
orientation, unscrew each arm from the master carriers, and swap
the two. See Figure 22.
Figure 22 - Reorient carrier arms if necessary
Figure 19 - Add or remove pin carriers
Insert or remove carriers until the correct amount remain in the
track. Center draw applications may require adding or subtracting
carriers from each side.
For pleated drapery, insert or remove carriers until the correct
amount remain in the track. Center draw applications may require
adding or subtracting carriers from each side.
See Figures 19 & 20.
Figure 20 - Add or remove string carriers
3. ADJUST NUMBER OF CARRIERS AND ORIENT THE CARRIER ARMS
It may be necessary to add or remove carriers based on the curtain
size, fullness, and pleat spacing. To add or remove carriers, remove
the motor if it is installed. Then, loosen the hardstop screw and
slide it out of the track. See Figure 18.
Figure 18 - Remove hardstop

Figure 25 - Attach primary motor
Figure 26 - Attach secondary motor
Slide the hardstop back into the track and secure with screw. See
Figure 23.
Figure 23 - Slide hardstop back into track and secure with screw
On a dual drapery, insert Motor 1 (longer) into the window side track.
On center draw applications, the motor may be mounted at either end
of the track. Twist the motor into place. The locking tab will make an
audible click when it locks into place. See Figure 25.
Insert Motor 2 (shorter) into the roomside track. Twist the motor
into place. The locking tab will make an audible click. See Figure 26.
Figure 27 - Plug secondary motor into primary motor
Orienting the plug correctly, plug the cord from Motor 2 into the
bottom of Motor 1. If you do have a control box, proceed to Step 6.
See Figure 27.

5. ATTACH THE DRAPERY
Snap or hook the drapery into each carrier starting with the master
carrier arm and ending with the hardstop and control end. For pin
ripple applications, hook the pins in one of two slots in the pin
ripple carrier to direct the drapery inward or outward. Generally,
pin ripple applications start and end with an inward orientation.
See Figure 33.
Figure 33 - Hook or snap drapery onto carriers
On a single drapery, plug the motor into the Motor 1 slot. See
Figure 30.
Figure 30 - Motor plugged into slot
Figure 32 - Two motors plugged into slots
On a dual drapery, plug the room side drapery into the Motor 1
slot and window side drapery into the Motor 2 slot. See Figure 32.
4. CONNECT THE SENSOR BOX (Optional)
Place and install the sensor box behind the drapery in a place where
the Pendant is still accessible and the sensors will still detect light
coming in from the window. See Figure 28.
Figure 28 - Sensor box placement
Figure 29 - Attach sensor box to wall
Screw the wall plate into the desired location, using wall anchors
if necessary, then slide the sensor box over the plate until it sits
securely. See Figure 29.

You are now ready to start up the drapery track.
6. ATTACH THE BATON (Optional)
If using the font baton, the plastic reinforcer must be sewn into
the drapery and the grommet punched in advance of drapery
installation.
For front mounted baton, slide the plastic wedge through the slat
in the carrier arm. Place the plastic baton hook over the grommet
and screw in the screw to secure. See Figure 36.
Figure 36 - Front mount baton components and install order
Wrap the remaining fabric around each control end by hooking the
drapery onto the recess clips on each end. See Figure 34 for pin
connector options and see Figure 35 for proper placement on the
track ends.
Figure 37 - Hook back baton into carrier arm eyelet
For a back mounted baton, locate the eyelet under the carrier
arms and connect the baton with a clip. See Figure 37.
Figure 32- Screw in eyelet then insert pin through the opening
In some cases, it is desirable to connect the return of the drapery to
the wall with an eye hook. Screw an eye hook into the wall where
the last pin will go, then insert the pin through the eyelet. See Figure
32.
