The patented Cord Take-Up System
(CTS) for Horizontal Blinds, enables
the lift and tilt functions and prevents
cord slippage, tangling and overlap.
By using the Cord Take-Up System
versus a tape, you achieve increased
product reliability, smoother and
more uniform operation and
eliminate unsightly tapes that don't
match horizontal blind colors.
What's more, manufacturing and
assembling horizontal blinds with
cords is an easier process.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
A. Headrail Preparation
1. Cut or specify headrail width that is suitable for blind or shade application.
2. Cut or punch headrail to accomodate CTS 40 cradle. The illustrations below portray two different examples of headrail punches.
3. Drill the holes necessary for the motor and plug end and for access to the limit switch screws.

H. Final Adjustments
4. Fasten motor bracket and idler bracket to headrail using (#10 x 3/8" screws) or (5/32" x 3/8" poprivets)
1. Apply power and run the blind in the up or down direction. Adjust the travel distance with RTS remote (RTS
motors) or by turning the limit adjustment screws (non-RTS motors). See limit switch adjustment instructions
included with motor.
G. Securing Take-up Cords
4. Fasten motor bracket and idler bracket to headrail using (#10 x 3/8" screws) or (5/32" x 3/8" poprivets)
1. Temporarily hang the blind and extend slats to a
"lowered position." (be certain take-up cords remain accessible.)
2. With blind hanging in a "lowered position" carefully mark each
take-up cord with regard to each cone (see detail)
3. Tie a knot at the mark on each cord and fasten to each cone
respectively.

2. With blind hanging in a "lowered position" carefully mark each
take-up cord with regard to each cone (see detail)
3. Tie a knot at the mark on each cord and fasten to each cone
respectively.
