Battery Motor
Programming Instructions
The motor battery is fully charged prior to shipment and the motor is shipped in Deactivate mode.
Cable Orientation
Cable can only be inserted in one orientation (metal contacts
must face toward the motor bracket side)
Prior to shipment, Insolroll fully programs each shade and places them in Deactivate mode for your convenience. Doing
this will eliminate any re-programming after the install is completed. All that you need to do is wake up the motor, pair
the transmitter to the shade and confirm the programmed limits. These modes are very useful when pairing multiple
shades to a single channel on a transmitter. Think through the pairing process for your application and read through the
complete instructions before you proceed to section 2.0 Wake Up Motor. More information on Deactivate and Sleep
modes can be found in section 8.0 Deactivate & Temporary Sleep Modes.
The rechargeable battery packs are fully charged prior to shipment and the reloadable battery wands are shipped
with eight (8) single-use AA lithium batteries.
Cable Orientation
The battery pack cable can only be inserted in one orientation
(match the geometry of the connectors when connecting the battery
pack cable to the motor cable).

Programming Instructions
To wake up the Li-ion embedded motors, briefly and lightly press the
PROGRAM
button on the motor head using a paper clip. The shade will briefly jog up and
down two (2) times and the LED on the motor head will light up orange.
Your shade should be shipped with pre-set limits, use the
UP
and
DOWN
buttons on the transmitter to verify that the
end limits are set to the desired positions.
•If your shade's end limits do not need any adjusting, your shade is completely programmed.
•If your shade moves while the
UP
or
DOWN
buttons are pressed and stops when the button is released, skip
to section
12.0 Complete Factory Reset.
•If your shade moves to the opposite end limit (Ex. you press the
UP
button on the transmitter, but the shade
moves to the lower end limit), proceed to section
6.0 Modifying Motor Rotation.
•If you need to adjust the end limits, skip to section
7.0 Adjusting End Limits.
To wake up the external battery pack motors, simply connect the battery pack
cable into the motor cable. The shade will briefly job up and down two (2) times
and the LED on the motor head will light up orange.
For multi-channel transmitters:
Ensure your transmitter is on the channel you wish
the shade to be added to before proceeding.
Briefly press the
PROGRAM
button on the transmitter. The shade will briefly jog
up and down one (1) time. The shade is now paired with the selected channel
on the transmitter.

button on the motor
head or on the paired transmitter until the shade jogs
up and down one (1) time. This will place the motor in
programming mode.
Press and hold the
UP
,
MY
and
DOWN
buttons
simultaneously on the paired transmitter until the shade
jogs up and down one (1) time. The LED on the motor
head will blink green five (5) times and the motor is
now deactivated.
If you want to re-activate the motor(s) (take the motors out of deactivate mode or
out of temporary sleep mode before the 15 minute time out), briefly press the
PROGRAM
button on the motor head. The shade will jog up and down one (1)
time and the LED on the motor head will blink green five (5) times. All the previously
paired transmitters will now control the shade.
These modes are very useful when pairing multiple shades to a single channel on a transmitter. Think through the
programming process for your application before you begin programming any motors. Insolroll strongly recommends
that all applications use Deactivate mode to eliminate the possibility of the shade waking up and interfering with the
pairing process.
Deactivate mode
will deactivate the shade (it will not respond to any paired transmitters) until it is re-activated. External
battery pack motors cannot be placed in Deactivate mode. To deactivate, disconnect the battery wand.
Temporary sleep mode
will deactivate the shade (it will not respond to any paired transmitters) for 15 minutes, after
the 15 minutes it will time out of sleep mode and will respond to any paired transmitters.
Press and hold the
PROGRAM
button on the motor head until the shade jogs up
and down one (1) time.
Briefly press the
PROGRAM
button on the motor head. The shade will jog up and
down two (2) times and the LED on the motor head will blink green five (5) times
to confirm the temporary sleep mode. The orange LED on the motor head will
blink one (1) time every second while the motor is in temporary sleep mode. All
the paired transmitters will not control the shade. After 15 minutes the shade will
jog up and down one (1) time to indicate it is out of sleep mode.

Programming Instructions
Fabric telescoping is excessive horizontal movement of
fabric while shade rolls up on the tube. Shades are
tested and fabric telescoping is adjusted prior to
shipment, but additional adjustments may be required
depending on each specific application.
If fabric adjustments are required, roll the shade all the
way down so the tube is exposed (this will require
adjustment of the lower limit using section
7.2 Adjusting
Lower Limit.
Place a piece of duct tape, 2"-4" in length, near the
edge of the tube on the side opposite of the direction the
fabric is moving.
Run the shade up and down a few times. If the shade still
telescopes, repeat the process. The correct amount of
tape can only be determined by trial and error. Re-set
the lower limit after completing shade adjustments.

DOWN
and
MY
buttons on the transmitter simultaneously until the
shade jogs up and down one (1) time. The LED on the
motor head will blink green five (5) times and then the
LED on the motor head will blink orange slowly to confirm
it is in the motor speed adjustment mode. The shade will
move up and down in ten (10) second cycles.
To increase the motor speed, press and hold the
UP
button until the shade jogs up and down one (1) time and
the LED on the motor head will blink green five (5) times.
Repeat this step until the desired speed is reached. The
maximum speed is reached when the shade jogs three
(3) times up, three (3) times down and the LED on the
motor head will blink red blinks three (3) times.
To decrease the motor speed, press and hold the
DOWN
button until the shade jogs up and down one
(1) time and the LED on the motor head will blink green
five (5) times. Repeat this step until the desired speed is
reached. The minimum speed is reached when the shade
jogs three (3) times up, three (3) times down and the LED
on the motor head will blink red three (3) times.
