MOUNT THE INSTALLATION BRACKETS
Mounting Requirements
Mount the headrail level for proper shade operation.
Use a level to check that the mounting surface is level on an inside mount and that
the tops of the installation brackets are level and aligned on an outside mount. If
necessary, shim the brackets.
Number of Brackets Required
The number of installation brackets included with each shade depends upon the
ordered width.
Use spacer blocks or extension brackets for additional clearance.
Bracket Spacing
Bracket spacing is the same for inside, outside, or ceiling mounted shades. End
mounting is explained on page 11.
Space the two end brackets so that their outside edges are at least 5/8" in from the
ends of the headrail.
Space additional brackets, if used, evenly between the two end brackets.
Adjust the bracket positions to accommodate any obstructions to the bottom rail,
such as window cranks or handles.
Measure and mark all bracket locations.

NOTE: For optimal operation of the infrared eye, the shade should not be recessed
past the front of the window opening.
Place both end brackets so that their outside edges abut the marks on the
mounting surface.
Check that each bracket is level and aligned.
Attach using two screws.

accommodate any obstructions to the
bottom rail, such as window cranks
or handles.
Check that each bracket is level
and aligned.
Attach using two screws.
Spacer Blocks (Optional)
Each spacer block projects brackets 1/2" away
from the mounting surface.
NOTE: Longer screws (not provided)
are required to secure the spacer blocks
and the installation brackets to the
mounting surface.
Mount spacer blocks with the solid
side facing the mounting surface.
Use a maximum of three spacer
blocks per bracket.
Secure with two screws.

End Mount Applications
End mount the headrail when conventional
mounting techniques will not work, for
example, in an arched window opening.
The maximum width of an end-mounted
shade is 65".
Mount the extension brackets on a surface
at least 11/2" wide.
Attach the installation brackets to the
extension brackets using the machine
screws and nuts provided.
INSTALL THE SHADE
CAUTION: Be sure the wires coming from
the satellite eye, satellite battery pack, or AC
transformer do not become pinched by the
brackets or headrail during installation.
NOTE: If using a satellite eye, remove the
rubber bands holding the satellite eye to the
headrail. If the satellite eye is not connected to
the shade, plug the 4-wire satellite eye connector
into the 4-wire slot marked “SAT” on the
motor housing.
Tip the headrail forward and fit the back
bottom edge into the lower lip of each bracket.
Rotate the headrail up until it snaps into the
locking tab on the back of each bracket.
WARNING: Be sure the headrail is securely
attached to the bracket. Visually check that the
locking tab is fully engaged (see illustration).

INSTALL THE OPTIONAL COMPONENTS
NOTE: Once the optional components (satellite battery pack, satellite eye, and
AC transformer) are connected and the shade is installed, install the components.
Satellite Battery Pack
Determine where to mount the satellite
battery pack.
Mount the satellite battery pack in
a location where it will not interfere
with the shade’s operation.
On outside mounts, route the wire so
it exits from the top of the shade.
On inside mounts, route the wire so it
runs along the control side end cap to
the front of the shade.
Mount the satellite battery pack.
Remove the cover of the battery pack
by pressing on the circular latch and
lifting the cover off.
Use the holes in the rear of the pack as
a template to mark the screw locations
on the mounting surface.
Attach using two screws.
Load batteries into the satellite
battery pack.
Install eight AA alkaline batteries,
according to the instructions on the
battery pack.
Replace the cover, snapping it
securely closed.

Satellite Eye
CAUTION: Handle the satellite eye carefully to avoid damaging the infrared
eye. Do not touch or push on the infrared eye.
Determine where to mount the
satellite eye.
Choose a location for the satellite
eye where the signal from the
remote is not obstructed. Do not
mount the satellite eye in direct
sunlight or bright, focused light
from halogen or fluorescent light
fixtures, track lighting, spotlights,
or neon lights.
Check that the wire is not caught
or pinched in the brackets
or headrail.
With inside mounts, route the
wire behind the headrail and
along the side of the end cap to
the front of the shade.
Mount the satellite eye.
Flip the satellite eye down and
place the hinged flange against
the wall. Attach the flange to the
wall with a single screw.
Swivel the satellite eye upward to
the correct angle for receiving the
signal from the remote control.

Outside mounts, the wire exits from the top of
the shade.
Inside mounts, the wire runs along the control
side end cap to the front of the shade.
After the AC transformer has been attached to the
2-pin power connector on the headrail and the
headrail has been installed, plug the AC transformer
into a 110V outlet.

OPERATION
First Use
Duette® with PowerRise® shades must be reset before the first use (see below). See the
next section for resetting and testing the shade operation.
Channel Selection
Duette with PowerRise shades operate on specially designated channels, Channel 1 or
Channel 2. To operate the shade, the remote control must be set on the same channel as
the shade.
Shades are set to Channel 1 unless specified for
Channel 2 at the time of ordering. When specified,
for example with adjacent or stacked shades, shades
are set to Channel 2. A decal attached to the motor
housing, visible under the cover rail, indicates
Channel 2 operation.
To switch a shade’s operating channel:
Remove the shade from the
mounting brackets and open the
cover rail.
The channel selector is
located on the motor
board next to the limit
assembly plug.
The right switch controls
the channel operation and
the left switch controls the
shade operation.
Using a small, flat blade
screwdriver flip the right channel
selector switch toward the front of
the shade for Channel 1 operation
or toward the back of the shade
for Channel 2 operation.
CAUTION: Leave the left side switch in the front position.

The manual control button is located next to the
infrared eye on the headrail or the satellite eye.
Press the button to alternately lower, stop,
and raise the shade.
Set And Clear The Memory Stop
The Memory Stop feature sets the shade
so that it can be raised to the same height
every time.
With the shade fully lowered,
press the UP ▲ button to raise
the shade.
When the shade reaches the
desired height, stop its motion
by firmly grasping the bottom
rail with both hands, keeping
the rail level.
The motor will hesitate and
then shut off.
The Memory Stop will
be set, and the shade will
automatically stop at that
point each time it is raised.
Until the Memory Stop is
cleared, the shade cannot be
raised any higher.
To clear the Memory Stop, lower
the shade completely, then press
and hold the DOWN ▼ button
for 5 seconds.
