• One action to lock & un-lock shade
AUTOMATE | FT tubular AC motors combine the simple, intuitive features of ARC
“Automate Radio Communication” with the higher lifting capacity of an AC motor for
larger shade applications. Three alternate modes of operation include:
• E-type for standard use
• MANUAL FT Mode for use with conventional locking devices with fabric tensioning
• AUTO FT Mode for use with Rollease Acmeda’s proprietary ULTRA LOCK providing
automatic fabric tensioning
Functional options in each operating mode include: IMPACT DETECTION and FAVORITE
POSITION.
• IMPACT DETECTION senses an obstacle in the blinds path during downward
movement and redirects the shade to protect the motor, hardware and fabric,
ensuring product longevity.
• An intermediate setting allows for a customized FAVORITE POSITION to be preset.

Step 1. Cut roller tube to required length.
Please refer to Rollease Acmeda System Assembly Manual for full assembly instructions relevant to the
hardware system being used.
Step 2. Ensure roller tube is clean and free from burrs.
Step 3. Fit required crown, drive and bracket adapters.
Step 4. Slide Motor into tube.
Insert by aligning key-way in crown and drive
wheel into the tube.
Step 5. Mount motorized tube onto brackets.
Refer to Rollease Acmeda System Assembly
Manual for recommended crown, drive and
bracket adapter kits.
1 ASSEMBLY
For impact dectection to be functional, a 2
piece drive set must be used. Using a standard
1 piece drive will render the collision control
feature inoperable even if the feature is turned
on.
Tube must be close fitting with chosen crown
and drive adapters. A Hall effect sensor
embedded in the tube measures the magnetic
field change and detect the impact. Refer to
Rollease Acmeda System Assembly Manual
for recommended crown, drive and bracket
adapter kits.

12 TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem Cause Remedy
Motor is not responding
A/C power supply not plugged in. Check motor to power cable
connection and AC plug
Transmitter battery is discharged Replace battery
Radio interference/shielding
Ensure transmitter is positioned
away from metal objects and the
aerial on motor or receiver is kept
straight and away from metal
Receiver distance is to far from
transmitter
Move transmitter to a closer
position
Power failure Check power supply to motor is
connected and active
Incorrect wiring
Check that wiring is connected
correctly (refer to motor
installation instructions)
Multiple motors are paired to the
same channel
Always reserve an individual
channel for programming functions
SYSTEM BEST PRACTICE - Provide
an extra 15 channel controller in
your multi-motor projects, that
provides individual control for each
motor for programming purposes
Place all other motors into sleep
mode (refer to P1 button function
overview - Section 3)
Cannot program a single Motor
(multiple motors respond)
