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, including recommended crown, drive and bracket adapter kits.
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.
1 ASSEMBLY
Tube must be close fitting with chosen crown
and drive adapters.
Impact detection does not require a 2 piece drive set. The use of a standard 1 part
drive adapter is compatible. Zipscreen is needed to let the impact transmit to the top
during downward movement. The top tube must be able to freely rotate ~ 5 degrees
after installation.
