Battery Backup
Battery backup should be used to supply emergency power for
those areas subject to frequent power outages or when operation
of the power window system must be maintained for a period of
time should a power outage occur.
Truth recommends the use of a UPS (uninterruptable power
supply) as a battery backup. They are widely available through a
variety of retail and commercial outlets and are primarily used to
supply emergency backup for computer equipment.
To determine the proper VA rating for a UPS, take 50 watts and multiply by
the number of windows/skylights to be backed up by a given UPS.
Below is a list of the manufacturers who produce uninterruptable
power supplies which we have approved as compatible with
our power window systems.

7a. Prepare Wall Opening (with finished wall)
Locate the desired mounting location for the wall control unit. Verify the location of interior wall
studs before selecting the mounting orientation of control box. Using the template provided, mark
and cut the prescribed hole for the selected orientation.
7b. Prepare Wall Mount (with open wall)
Locate the desired mounting location for the wall control unit. Mount control box onto the selected
wall stud with screws (not included) at the desired height. Using the template provided, mark and
cut the prescribed hole in wall board for the intended application.
8. Route and Install wires
Route low voltage wires from motor location (including any accessory wires, such as rain sensor,
power blind, etc..) into control switch opening. Route appropriate high voltage wire and select an
inlet on control box which works with the selected orientation. Remove knock-out and install strain
relief provided. Pull 110vac wiring into control box through strain relief.
WARNING: Power supplied to high voltage (110 vac) wiring should be disconnected at Main
Breaker Panel or through other means. This motor control will need approx. 50 watts of power.
NOTE: Installation must meet local and national electrical codes.
Refer to Wire Diagram for wire size and type.
