• Operation of the shade systems should only be completed by qualied person(s)
• Always monitor the operation of the Shade Systems to ensure proper operation and that furniture or
other obstacles cannot prevent normal deployment or retraction of the shade system
• DO NOT lower shade during high wind conditions (gusts over 20 mph). Doing so will result in
damage that will need to be repaired by a qualied technician. If the shade system is currently in the
down position, it is usually okay to operate the shade and retract it. However, avoiding operation at
any time when High Wind conditions are present is considered proper operation.
OPERATING AND MAINTAINING YOUR SHADE

5
• Measure the opening carefully and make sure that the correct shade width is ordered.
• Make sure that the shade boxes can all be installed securely level. Add appropriate blocking or
carpentry work before installing shades.
• SI will not cover any warranty on systems that are installed without original brackets. Warranty will
be null & void if installation is performed by drilling directly through the box, both on ceiling and wall
mount.
• Electrical work should be performed using appropriate electrical codes and regulation, by a licensed
electrical professional.
• Source fasteners appropriate for the location of the cable guide mount and shade boxes will be
mounted to.
• Before removing the screen from the packaging, check for damage and to make sure all parts are
included.
• Do not use any sharp blades when opening the screen packaging. Open by hand.
• Care in mounting and correct operation will result in long and satisfactory service from the SI
screen.
• Make sure to acquire appropriate mounting hardware for your installation as mounting hardware is
not provided due to the need for the installer to identify mounting surface requirements.
Preparing for your installation: It is crucial that all installations are planned out carefully
before specifying a shade order.
Read the instructions in their entirety before proceeding. Actions contrary to the
instructions invalidate the warranty and may result in serious damage and/or injury.

SPECIFYING YOUR SHADE DIMENSIONS
Use this formula for specifying shades were the roll and cable guide can be seen from the inside of
the installation opening.
Width - Measure the total width at the top, middle, and bottom of your opening. Take the smallest
measurement of the three and deduct a total of 1/4". This will give you the TOTAL UNIT WIDTH of
your shade.
Drop - Measure the total height of your opening. That will be your TOTAL UNIT DROP for your shade.
We do manufacture the tracks or guides for your system 5" longer than your TOTAL UNIT HEIGHT so
you can have a little adjustment on site.
The measurements written on the order form
will be the measurements produced. No
deductions are taken on submitted order form.

Use this formula for specifying shades where the roll and cable guide can NOT be seen from the
inside of the opening.
Ensure opening is plumb & parellel. If not, order extra width to keep cable guide out of view from
the inside.
LARGEST OPENING WIDTH + 3 1/2'' = TOTAL UNIT WIDTH = W
TOTAL HEIGHT OF OPENING +10'' = TOTAL UNIT HEIGHT = H
Width - Measure the total width at the top, middle, and bottom of your opening. Take the largest
measurement and add 3 1/2''. This will give you the TOTAL UNIT WIDTH of your shade and allow only
the fabric to be seen from inside your opening.
Drop - Measure the total height of your opening. If you don't want the cassette and bottom bar to be
visible when the unit is completely retracted, please add 10" inches to your opening's height. We do
manufacture the tracks or guides for your system 5" longer than your TOTAL UNIT HEIGHT. So you
can have a little adjustment on site.

INSTALL BRACKETS
Mount the motor and idler brackets to structural supports as shown. Refer to your order or
the packaging to get the UNIT WIDTH = W and make sure the brackets measure the same
UNIT WIDTH dimension from outside to outside. Also make sure the motor bracket is on the
correct side as specied on the order. The brackets must be mounted on a level line as well
as plumb. The brackets can be mounted to the ceiling or a vertical wall face. Make sure that
they are mounted such that the weight bar will align with the location of the cable guide.

Secure either the cable guide floor mount brackets or the cable guide wall mount brackets using
appropriate fasteners. Make sure that they are secured at a location such that the cables will be
plumb in both directions and parallel to each other. Note that the wall mount bracket can be installed
either on the wall or inside the columns as well as be flipped upside down if desired.

15
INSTALLING THE TENSIONERS AND CUTTING CABLES - 3
Install the tensioners onto the mounts making sure that they are threaded out as much as possible
so that there will be thread available to tension the cables. Cut the cables such that they are the
same length so that they will just extend to the bottom of the hole in the tensioner.

TENSIONING THE GUIDE CABLES - 4
Insert the cable into the tensioner all the way to the bottom of the tensioner and secure with the set
screws. Then tension the cable by tightening the nut for wall mount brackets or the tensioner itself
for floor mount. Finally lock in the tensioners with the locknut. Make sure that the cables are mounted
level and plumb in all directions. As a nal check make sure that the left and right cables are the same
distance apart from top to bottom within 1/4’’.
NOTE: Cables may lose tension over time. In that case simply
tighten the tensioners and lock in with the lock nut.
