4. Overview and anchors
In this section, we will be examining the installation procedure. Installation of the brackets can
be done by one person, but you will need AT LEAST ONE OTHER PERSON TO INSTALL THE SOLAR
SHADE onto the brackets. The installation of the brackets is the crucial portion of work that
requires the most time and attention to details.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: IT IS MANDATORY TO FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS, FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN BODILY INJURIES, MATERIAL DAMAGE AND
VOIDING THE WARRANTY. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ENTIRELY BEFORE
STARTING THE INSTALLATION.
NOTE: BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR MULTIPLE SHADE, CHECK YOUR INSTALLATION SURFACE TO
IDENTIFY ANY POTENTIAL OBSTRUCTIONS, WHICH COULD INTERFERE WITH THE SOLAR SHADE
DURING OPENING SUCH AS FIXTURES, DOOR HANDLES ETC.
4.1. Siding walls made of wood, vinyl or aluminum
For all wooden structure buildings, there is often a header board above the door or the window
that will be protected by your solar shade. Wood screws must be fixed to this type of structure.
For any other type of structure such as gazebos or balconies, it is necessary to assess the
horizontal support between columns. Make sure there is a solid wooden base or metallic
support on which the brackets will be anchored. In such instances, the solar shade’s casing will
be installed on a soffit mode. All our casings are designed to accommodate a soffit installation.
4.1.1. Choosing the position
INSTRUCTIONS ARE IDENTICAL WHETHER YOU ARE INSTALLING ON A
SOFFIT OR WALL MODE. You will find 2 grooves on the casing. One groove
is on top for a soffit installation, and the other is on the back for a wall
installation.
Your solar shade can accommodate heights up to a 10’ (See figure 2). It is
important to choose a position to maximize your required protection while
considering the length of the cable guides on each side of your shade. If
your window or door to be protected is shorter than 10’, you will have to
cut the cable guides as per the desired height. However, the cable guide’s
cut should be performed at the end of the installation. While the solar
shade may be too long for your requirement, you can stop the opening of
the solar shade at any position.

Multi-Shade EN V01 February 2021
4.1.2. Brackets installation wall and soffit
Using the supplied brackets (see figure 4), position the bottom of each bracket 1 1/4" above the
bottom of the casing while understanding that the casing has a 5’’ height when installed on the
wall. Trace a horizontal chalk line at this height. Make sure the line is horizontal with a level
and also validate that the frame of your window or door is perfectly parallel to your chalk line,
otherwise, you may need to make a small adjustment to your chalk line. Trace the ends of this
line to make sure the casing will be centered on your window or door.
Now, you must position each bracket to insure maximum support. Position each bracket between
6”and 12” from each extremity of the casing. For casings wider than 6’, you will need to position
a third (3) bracket approximately in the center of your chalk line. Position each bracket with the
two (2) holes on top (if you are installing under the eaves, choose the side that is easier for you)
and trace the location of each hole (see figure 5).
FOR WALL INSTALLATION, THE SCREW MUST FACE DOWN, BUT FOR SOFFIT INSTALLATION, THE
SCREW MUST FACE BACK.
Use a 3/32" drill bit to drill the holes through your siding and one inch deep into the header
board.
Using a Philips screwdriver, install your brackets with the #8 X 1 3/4" wood screws. While
tightening the screws with your brackets, maintain them level (use a level). Do not over tighten
the wood screws before adjusting the level since you may need to do some readjustments.

Multi-Shade EN V01 February 2021
4.2. Masonry
This installation method is meant for solid brick walls (THIS EXCLUDES ALL TYPES OF DECORATIVE
BRICK) where the masonry brick anchors/ties are in perfect order. YOU WILL NEED TO INSTALL
SHIMS IF THE BRICK SURFACE IS UNEVEN.
4.2.1. Choosing the position
Choose a position which will accommodate the length of the cable guides on each side of your
shade. If your window or door to be protected is shorter than 10’ vertically, you may have to cut
the cable guides to the height desired. However, the cable guide’s cut should be performed at
the end of the installation. While the shade may be too long for your requirement, you can
stop the opening of the shade at any position.
4.2.2. Installation on bricks
Please note that it is more important to ensure a good anchoring than to follow the placement
as seen on the drawing below (See figure 5).
Figure 5 Figure 6
1. Using the supplied brackets (See figure 5), position the bottom of each bracket 1
1/4’’above the bottom of the casing while understanding that the casing has a height of
5’’when installed on the wall.
2. Please make sure that screws will be positioned at least 1/2’’ from the border of each
brick, this requirement being more important than the height desired for your
installation.
3. Trace a level, horizontal chalk line at this height. Your window or door might not be
parallel to your chalk line. Otherwise, you may need to make a small adjustment to your
chalk line.
4. Trace the two sides of this line to identify the width extremities of the casing while making
sure the casing will be centered on your window or door.
WARNING: The provided masonry fasteners cannot be used in the joint between two bricks.
Install them in the brick body, at least 0,5 inch from the edge of the brick (see Figure 6). Do not
use the fasteners for hollow surfaces like hollow cement blocs. Visit a hardware store for the

Multiple Awnings inc. –1505A rue de l’Industrie, Beloeil QC, J3G 0S5 CANADA
10
Multi-Shade EN V01 February 2021
proper fasteners for your type of installation. DO NOT USE THE SUPPLIED MASONRY
FASTENERS ON STUCCO WALLS.
5. You must position the brackets between 6’’ and 12” from each extremity of the casing to
insure maximum support. For casings greater than 6’, position a third (3) bracket
approximately in the center of your chalk line. While making certain that it is level,
position the first bracket at the required position on the chalk line. Position each bracket
with the two (2) holes at the top and mark the positions of the three (3) screw holes.
Repeat the same process for the other brackets.
6. Use a 3/16‘’masonry drill bit to drill the holes 1 3/4’’ deep into the masonry.
7. Using a 5/16’’ ratchet socket, install the brackets with the 1/4’’ X 1 3/4’’masonry screws.
While tightening the screws with your brackets, maintain them at level. Do not over
tighten, before adjusting your level.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT MASONRY SCREWS ARE WELL ANCHORED IN THE HOLES. IF NOT
THE CASE, PLEASE CONSULT YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE DEALER TO OBTAIN THE PROPER SIZE OF
FASTENERS.
5. Casing installation
5.1. Hanging the casing on the brackets
Carefully remove all packaging material from the solar shade’s casing. Make sure the two (2)
cable guides are unrolled.
You will need the help of at least one (1) other person at this stage, to lift the casing. While using
two (2) ladders, raise the casing and push the groove of the casing into the lips of the brackets
(see figure 3). A bit of pressure might be necessary.
Figure 3

Multiple Awnings inc. –1505A rue de l’Industrie, Beloeil QC, J3G 0S5 CANADA
11
Multi-Shade EN V01 February 2021
As a next step, tighten the M6 set-up bolts with a 5 mm Allen key on each bracket. Tighten these
screws well to prevent the casing from sliding off. These bolts should be under the casing on a
mural installation, and on the back for a soffit installation.
5.2. Cable guides set-up
At each end of the solar shade’s casing, you will find a coated-steel cable guide. Unroll each cable,
and let them hang flat on the mounting surface.
Insert each cable into the PVC guides at the two (2) ends of the bottom charge bar. Trace perfectly
plumb, vertical lines extending down from the cable guide
Then define the maximum height to which the solar shade will be extended (maximum 114’’ from
the casing).
Figure 2
Localize the cable guide supports and decide if you will install them on the floor or the wall
(frame). The choice of installation may be dictated by the type of material in which the holes
will be drilled (wood or masonry). The cable guide supports can accommodate each position and
you may adjust this position with a 4 mm Allen key. (See figures 10 and 11).
At the bottom of each extremity, trace a horizontal line on the wall where you want the support
to be installed. Using the cables as a guide, make sure they are straight and vertical. Then trace
a vertical line that crosses the previous horizontal line. (See figure 2).
At the locations identified on the previous paragraph, set some marks to designate the holes
where the support will be installed. Drill the holes with a proper drill bit, and then screw the
supports in place very tightly.
Figure 10 Figure 11 Figure 12

Multiple Awnings inc. –1505A rue de l’Industrie, Beloeil QC, J3G 0S5 CANADA
12
Multi-Shade EN V01 February 2021
You will note that the support has a top screw with a hole on top. You should introduce the
cable guide in this hole while checking that the set-up screw is sufficiently retracted to let the
cable through (Allen key - 3mm required). Make sure you do not lose this little screw. (See figure
12).
When the wire is properly straightened and tight, you will need to solidly tighten the side screw
with a 3mm Allen key. At this point, do not cut the excess wire. You can adjust the tension of
the wire with the tow (2) bolts located on each side of the screw holding the cable guide.
If you have a motorized unit, use the remote control for the next adjustments and temporarily
connect the motor.
5.3. Testing the strength and opening position of the shade
To test the solidity of your solar shade, open it to its lowest position. If you need to re-adjust
the open position of the motor, refer to section 6. You can stop the opening of the solar shade
by pushing the “stop” button (middle button) of the remote. While the shade is totally opened,
move the lower bar to make sure the cables are sufficiently tight to avoid any knocking on your
window or door. If you need to adjust the tension of the wires, please do this with the two (2)
bolts located on each side of the screw holding the cable guide. If you judge the cable guide is
sufficiently tight, it is now acceptable to cut the excess cable underneath the holding screw.
Otherwise, it is always possible to adjust the tension of the cable guide while working with the
small screw that holds the cable guide.
ATTENTION: The opening and closing limits of your motor have been programmed and tested
in our factory. Out of the factory, the shade opens to 7’. If you need to change the open limit,
follow and perform completely the instructions in section 6.3. Programming the close (up) limit
and the open (down) limit.
5.4 Remote control and support
We supply a wall support for your remote control. It is recommended to fix that support at the
desired position inside your house, mark the location of the hole, and screw it in place.
CAUTION: Avoid exposing your remote control to water and rain or snow since this will damage
it. Always keep the remote control inside the house.
5.5 Channels of your remote control
When using your remote Control, do make certain that you have previously selected the proper
functional channel. When your solar shade left our factory, channel #1 was the one that was
programmed. Therefore this is the one that you need to select to operate your solar shade.

Multiple Awnings inc. –1505A rue de l’Industrie, Beloeil QC, J3G 0S5 CANADA
13
Multi-Shade EN V01 February 2021
This leaves you with fourteen (14) additional channels with which you can program/operate
other Multiple Shades or Awning equipped with a Dooya Motor. Channel #6 is functional when
all five (5) LEDs are ‘on’.
5.6 Adjustment and finishing touch
Test your Multi-shade by pressing the open “down” and close
“up” buttons on your remote (see figure 13). The opening and
closing limits of your motor have been programmed and tested
in our factory. Out of the factory, the shade opens to 7’. If you
need to change the open limit, follow and perform completely
the instructions in section 6.3. Programming the close (up) limit
and the open (down) limit.
Figure 13
6. Multi-Shade equipped with solar panel
Solar panel equipped Multi-shades have a different motor which is powered by a solar panel (see
figure 15). The solar panel integrates an internal 24V battery that powers the 24V motor supplied
with the solar powered Multi-shade. The solar panel can be installed in the top groove of the
Multi-shade’s casing when your Multi-shade is on a wall type installation. For soffit type
installations, two (2) wall brackets are included with the solar panel. The solar panel needs to be
oriented so that the top surface is exposed to sunlight for proper charging of the solar panel in
question.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must ACTIVATE THE SOLAR PANEL; remove the cover from the right
end of the solar panel by pulling it from the base (#1 in figure 14), then press and release the
activation button (#2), the solar panel will make a slight click, it is now active. Put the cover
back in place.

Multi-Shade EN V01 February 2021
1. You first need to find a surface onto which the two (2) solar panel wall brackets can be
screwed in securely. The solar panel weights three (3) pounds (1.5 kilo), there is often a
header board above the door or the window that will be protected by your solar shade.
Wood screws must be used to fix the solar panel‘s brackets to this type of structure.
2. Install the solar panel’s wall brackets on the bracket receptacles at the rear of the solar
panel in question with the supplied screws, the holes in the solar panel’s wall brackets
are threaded. The screw will enter the receptacles on the open side. Do not tighten them
too tightly at this point since you will need to move the solar panel during the
installation. Furthermore, do not tighten the screws that block the receptacles to the
solar panel at this point since you might have to move them during the installation.
Figure 18
3. Using the solar panel’s wall brackets (already attached to the solar panel), mark the place
and holes positions where the two (2) solar panel brackets will be installed, afterwards,
drill small pilot hole (smaller than the actual wall screws) at the four (4) screw positions.
4. Have your helper hold the solar panel with the wall brackets directly over the pilot holes
and secure these solar panel wall brackets into the structure with the supplied screws.

7. Safety and advice
WARNING: PRIOR TO OPERATING YOUR SOLAR SHADE, BE SURE THAT NO
OBJECT OR PERSON CAN COME IN CONTACT WITH IT AS IT OPENS AND
CLOSES. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM ANY MOVING PARTS OF THE SOLAR
SHADE AS IT OPERATES. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY.
CAUTION: Never hang items from any part of the Solar Shade, except those
accessories that are supplied by the manufacturer.
WARNING: NEVER attempt to repair or disassemble any part of the Solar
Shade without following replacement part procedures supplied by the
manufacturers. TRYING to do so without proper instructions can result in
PERSONAL INJURIES, CAUSE YOUR SOLAR SHADE TO MALFUNCTION AND
SUBSEQUENTLY VOID THE WARRANTY.
CAUTION: DAMAGES to the Solar Shade`s fabric and Mechanism CAUSED BY
WATER, SNOW, ICE ACCUMULATIONS OR HIGH WINDS are NOT COVERED BY
THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY. Always retract your Solar Shade during
periods of snow, ice pellets, rain or high winds. Never leave your Solar Shade
opened and unattended during periods of heavy winds.
WARNING: ACCUMULATION OF SNOW OR ICE COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE
TO, OR THE COLLAPSE OF THE SOLAR SHADE AND CAUSE PERSONAL
INJURIES. YOU MUST ROLL UP YOUR SOLAR SHADE TO AVOID ICE OR SNOW
ACCUMULATION. MAKE SURE TO RE OPEN YOUR SOLAR SHADE TO DRY OUT
THE FABRIC AS SOON AS IT IS POSSIBLE IF THE FABRIC IS NOT DRY WHEN IT
WAS ROLLED UP.
For long-term storage or non-use of your motorized solar shade, the motor
manufacturer suggests running the motor every few months to maintain the
mobility of the internal components.
7.1. Solar shade maintenance
The fabric is made of 74% PVC and 26% polyester and has a special finish,
which delays the formation and the accumulation of dirt. To preserve the
fabric, you must respect the following cleaning instructions:
Standard maintenance: Thoroughly remove the dust from the dry
Solar Shade fabric by vacuum cleaning, or by gently brushing. NEVER
