Battery pack Installation
Step 1: Fit the clips for your battery pack using
suitable fixings.
The battery pack is supplied with screws and wall
plugs suitable for fixing to a solid brick or block wall.
If you have ordered a blind that fits inside the
recess, fit your battery pack close to the window
frame at the back of the recess.
Please note: If the width of your window recess is
less than 55cm, your battery pack will need to be
fitted vertically inside the recess or external to the
reveal.
If you have ordered a blind that fits outside the
recess ('Exact'), fit your battery pack at the front of
the recess.
Once the clips are in place, mount the battery pack
ensuring that the supply cable is pointed towards
the blind motor position (middle of the blind).

STEP 1- Marking the bracket positions
Remember when positioning your blind to make sure the fabric will clear any window handles or obstructions. Slide
the brackets into each end of the blind, then position the blind where you’d like to fix it in your window. Make a pencil
mark in the positions of the 2 fixing holes per bracket for drilling. We recommend using a spirit level as shown below
to ensure the blind is fitted level . If your battery pack is fixed behind your blind, don't forget to leave enough space to
easily remove it for charging.

Electra Top Tip!
If securing the brackets to
plaster, stone, brick, etc.,
drill the holes at the
marked positions using a
5.5mm masonry drill bit,
then use the wall plugs
and screws supplied to fix
the brackets.
STEP 2- Fitting the brackets
Secure the brackets in place at the marks previously made using suitable fixings.

Top-Fix
STEP 3- Mounting the Roller Blind
Hold the blind to the brackets with the fabric
hanging from the back of the blind and the
motor head aerial hanging vertically down
(pointing towards the floor). Slide the motor end
into its bracket first, then slide the opposing end
into its bracket as per the diagram. Make sure
the release lever is to the front for easy access.
Then slide the bracket covers on.
STEP 4 - Power up & Testing- go to page 8
Before fitting the uncassetted blind, we recommend you install the battery - see page 4 for guidance.

STEP 1 - Remember when positioning your blind to make sure the fabric will clear any window handles or obstructions. If
your blind is outside the recess it will require a face-fix - position your bracket a minimum distance of 3.2cm from the ceiling.
For inside the recess it will be a top-fix - position your bracket a minimum of 3.5cm from the battery pack mounting clips.

Power up & testing - blind supplied with a control
Before we dispatch your blind, we test it to ensure it's operating correctly. We also set the upper and lower
stop positions based on your individual window height measurement. Lastly, your remote control or wall
switch will be paired to your motor so you're ready to go!
Once your blind is fixed securely in place,
you are ready to connect the battery pack.
Take the motor supply cable and connect
the long plug into the long socket of the
battery pack. You can then tuck any excess
cables away behind the blind.
If you ordered a control with your blind follow
the instructions on page 10.
If you didn't order a control with your blind
follow the instructions on the next page.
