HELPFUL! Before starting the mounting process, review the diagram below to ensure a trouble free install.
The shade mount in the SHA-B8CRxx corner shade mount kit is a floating/outside type mount for the drive (motor) side of a Savant shade
installation. The mount has a 45° bevel with a slot cut in the bevel so it can be joined together with any of the other corner type mounts using
the angled bracket included (angled bracket is included in the SHA-B7CRxx and SHA-B8CRxx shade mount kits). The shade mounts from the
SHA-B7 and SHA-B8 shade corner mounts kits are typically installed where two windows meet each other to form either an inside or outside 90°
angle. The shade mount in the SHA-B8CRxx kit is a floating/outside type mount and is installed using the included shade mount sleeve and 2
inch hanger bolt. Savant recommends that the drive side shade mount be installed first. Once mounted, it can then be used as a reference point
for mounting the idler side (SHA-B7CLxx).
– Install the shade mount so the center point of the mount is installed at least
1⁄ inch (minimum) from any obstructions.
– To aid in the installation of the SHA-B8CRxx shade mount, a template (SHA-
INSTEMP-xx) is available. This template contains all the holes and spacing
required to mount any Savant shade mount.
– To reduce marking up the walls, it is recommended that painters tape be
used whenever drilling is involved.

Drill Hole for Shade Motor Wires
Before installing onto ceiling, a hole must be drilled into the side of the mount to feed the wires for the shade motor through. Because this is a
corner type mount, two shade mounts are assembled together. Therefore, the hole for the shade motor wires must be drilled opposite the 45°
bevel of the mount. Follow instructions below for where to drill the hole.
1. Mark where to drill the hole in the shade mount using the diagram below.
Hole should be positioned opposite the 45° bevel on side of mount.

2. Drill an / inch hole into the side of the mount. Do not drill all the way
through. Drill so wires can be fed into opening in rear of mount.
3. Feed the control and power wires for the shade motor
through the hole just drilled and out the rear of the mount.

3. Grab the shade mount from the SHA-B8CLxx shade mount kit.
4. Like step 2 above, slide the slot in the SHA-B8CLxx shade mount up into
the angled bracket already installed. When seated, the two mounts will form
a 90° angle. See diagram to the right.

Install Mounts
Use instructions below to mount the shade corner mount assembly created in steps 1-4 above.
1. Mark on the ceiling where the hanger bolt will be mounted. Ensure the center point of the mount is at least 1 ¾inch from any obstructions.
Savant recommends using a laser level or similar technique to ensure the mount is installed in line with the opposite end idler type shade
mount. As stated earlier in this document, the drive type shade mount should be installed before installing the idler side.
TIP! The tip below can be used to make the process of marking the ceiling easier.
a. Mark on ceiling the location for one of the mounts. See the section above that describes the minimum distances allowed from any
obstructions.
b. Screw the mounting sleeve onto the hanger bolt until it hits the set screw in the 1 inch sleeve.
c. Using a / inch hex key, turn the hex head set screw in the 1 inch mounting sleeve so the set screw is not protruding from either
side of the sleeve. The shade mount sleeve should now easily slide in and out of the hole in the rear of the shade mount.
d. Slide the hanger bolt/sleeve assembly into hole on top of one of the shade mounts. Repeat steps a, b, and c and slide a second
hanger bolt assembly into hole in second shade mount of the shade mount corner assembly.
e. Using the initial mark from step a, line the tip of one of the hanger bolts with the mark. Position the corner bracket appropriately
and apply pressure to make indentations in the ceiling of where to install the hanger bolts.
2. Remove the hanger bolt assemblies from the shade mounts. Unscrew the hanger bolt from the 1 inch sleeve. Set 1 inch sleeves aside.
3. Prepare the ceiling where the hanger bolts will be installed and install hanger bolts. Leave ½inch of machine thread exposed.
HELPFUL: Savant recommends using a hanger bolt installation tool (8-32 thread) to thread the hanger bolt into the wall. DO NOT use the
provided sleeve to drive hanger bolts into wall as damage to the sleeve will occur.
4. If not already completed from step c above, using a / inch hex key, turn the hex head set screw in the 1 inch mounting sleeve so the set
screw is not protruding from either side of the sleeve. At this point, the shade mount sleeve should easily slide in and out of the hole in the
rear of the shade mount.
5. Screw the mounting sleeve onto the installed hanger bolt until the hex
head set screw in the sleeve is positioned slightly oset from the hole in
the shade mount (see diagram to right). Leaving the set screw oset a
bit will allow the shade mount to be pulled tight to the wall in the next
few steps.
6. Repeat step 5 for the second hanger bolt/sleeve assembly.
7. Slide the holes in the shade mounts from the corner assembly over the
sleeves until the set screws are visible through hole on side of each
mount. With / inch hex key, turn the set screw counterclockwise to
back o the set screw a bit until it rests within the hole on the side of
the mount. This will pull the mount tight against the ceiling. See dia-
gram to right.

8. Verify shade mounts are tight to the ceiling. If not, turn in the set screw, remove the shade mounts, and adjust the mounting sleeves to en-
sure the mount is pulled tight to the wall or ceiling.
1. Grab the corner shade mount and the 90° angled joiner bracket from a
SHA-B8CRxx corner shade mount kit.
HELPFUL! Angle brackets are supplied with only the SHA-B8CRxx and
SHA-B7CRxx shade mount kits.
2. Slide the joiner bracket into the slot in the shade mount. Slide bracket into
the mount until it sits flush with the top of shade mount. See diagram to the
right.

The mounts in the SHA-B8CR, SHA-B8CL, SHA-B7CR, and SHA-B7CL kits are all corner shade mounts and utilize a 90° angled joiner bracket to
join any two of these corner mounts. Once the shade mounts are joined together, they form a 90° angle that can be used in most inside or out-
side corners. The steps below describe how to join the shade mounts in the SHA-B8CRxx and SHA-B8CLxx shade mount kits but these instruc-
tions can be used to join any of the other corner type shade mounts.
