FITTING YOUR POWERED ROLLER BLIND
1 x Powered
Roller Blind
4 x screws
4 x raw plugs
STEP 1
Fitting your blind inside the window recess
• you have uPVC window frames
• there are obstructions like handles
Fitting your blind outside the window recess
Follow the measurement steps below to ensure that centre of
your powered roller blind is exactly in the middle of your window:
The measurements at either end of the recess (C) need to be
the same. To work out C:
1) Measure the width of the window (measurement B).
Write down the measurement.
2) Measure the width of the blind (measurement A).
Write down the measurement.
3) Take measurement B away from measurement A and
divide the answer by 2 to get measurement C.
STEP 2
Marking the bracket positions
Put the blind into the corresponding ends of the brackets as illustrated, then
illing.
Important note: Ensure that the plunger at the pin end (opposite the motor end) is
fully depressed when marking the hole positions. Also leave enough room to mount
the battery pack if you plan to secure it behind the blind.
STEP 3
Fitting the battery pack clips
Now that the bracket positions are marked, you can secure the battery pack
clips in place at the same side as the motor position.
For inside recess blind mounting, secure the clips in place behind where the
blind will be situated (as illustrated).
For outside recess blind mounting, secure the clips in place behind and above
where the blind will be situated (as illustrated).

FITTING YOUR POWERED ROLLER BLIND continued
STEP 4
Fitting the brackets and battery pack
Secure the brackets in place at the marks previously made.
If securing the brackets to plaster, brick, stone, etc., drill the holes at the marked positions using a 5.5mm
masonary drill bit and insert the raw plugs supplied. Fix the brackets in place using the screws supplied.
Important note: The pin end plunger must be fully depressed, otherwise it will lock in place and refuse to rotate.
STEP 5
Mounting the powered roller blind
Hold the blind to the brackets with the fabric hanging from the back of the blind and
idle end (opposite the motor head end) into position by locating the ‘+’ shaped plunger
into the ‘+’ shaped part of the bracket. When correctly aligned, the plunger should pop
into the bracket and secure in place.
Now angle the motor head side into position and slot the prongs of the motor head plate
into the bracket, ensuring that the central prong drops into position on the bracket.
STEP 6
Connect the battery pack to your powered roller blind
it with the long socket on the battery pack. Then connect the short plug into the
motor socket as indicated.
Important note: Your powered blind is powered up and tested to ensure it is operating correctly prior to
dispatch. During this process, the upper and lower stopping positions of your blind are preset based on your
height measurement. We also pair the control ordered to the motor for your convenience.
STEP 7
Test your powered roller blind
Press the down button on your control.
The blind will travel down for a few seconds, then reverse direction and
travel back up to the original starting position. This ‘Down/Up’ movement
occurs when the powered blind is operated after a battery pack is plugged back into the motor. This is a visual
feedback response from the motor to inform the user that power has been restored to the blind.
