SECTION 3 – UNI-LINK INSTALLATION
PART A – CALCULATE BLIND SIZE BASED ON INSTALLATION SPACE
UNI LINK DEDUCTIONS
ROLLEASE ACMEDA recommends the distance between the wall & foot of Uni-System brackets (C) to be 15mm (0.59”)
The table specifing the Tube Deductions (A) is based on C = 15mm (0.59”)
If C is other than 15mm (0.59”) please use the electronic calculations to retrieve the accurate Tube Deduction (A).
1. Measure the Wall Lengths (W1 & W2) & the Wall Angle (WA) where the Uni-Link Joint will be used.
2. Calculate the Maximum Roll Size (B) required.
•Maximum Roll Size is determined by the maximum drop desired and the fabrics thickness. (Refer to ‘Blind Drop
Calculations’ for further information).
3. Calculate the Tube Deduction (A) & Spacer Length required. (Refer to ‘Uni-System Uni-Link Tube Deductions & Spacer
Lengths’ for further information).
4. Taking into consideration the deductions at the other end of the tubes for the Motor End / Idler End / Intermediate Joint /
Uni-Link Joint, cut tubes to desired length.
5. Using the foot of the Uni-System brackets as a guide, mark on the ceiling where the bracket will be installed.
•Where D = 80mm (3.15”) ÷ 2mm (0.08mm) + C.
•The centre hole in the foot of the bracket & the knuckle centre of the uni-joint is 14mm (0.55”) from the centre line of
the bracket.
6. Follow the relevant steps in the Instruction Manual to install the Uni-Link System.
