Important Install Tip
Risk of product damage (handle with care)
Risk of personal injury:
- Motorized operation
- Electrocution / Fire hazard
- Heavy curtain
- Sharp edges
- Pinch points
- Follow safe working practices
- Heavy lifting may cause bodily harm
- Oversized shutters require 2 or more technicians for safe installation and transportation
- Do not climb or stand underneath the shutter system
- The shutter should only be operated when in view

(2.1) The opening structure must be adequate to accommodate the weight of the shutter system.
Surfaces should be plumb and smooth to guarantee a parallel alignment of the guide rails. It is
important that you check that the lintel does not bow inwards or have any protrusions that could
push the hood assembly out of alignment. Check that the shutter will not interfere with any opening
doors, windows, protruding door handles, etc.
(2.2) Unbox and inspect all shutter system components, including hardware bag before shutter
installation occurs. (Do not place shutter components on rough or rugged surfaces.)
(2.3)
(2.3) Mark and drill wire lead hole before installing any shutter components.
DO NOT CUT MOTOR WIRE LEAD WITHIN 30cm (12”) OF THE TUBULAR MOTOR
This will damage the antenna which is incorporated into the lead.

(2.4) To prevent damage and for ease of
access remove front 45° hood assembly
cover (#2 Robertson screws).
(2.6) For in-jamb application with no
overhead clearance place hood assembly
top-down & seat both guide rails firmly onto
both end cap legs located at the bottom of the
hood assembly. Then with assistance, gently
flip & lean the now attached guide rails &
hood assembly into the opening. Be sure to
support the shutter so as to not kink, twist or

(handle with care).
(2.7) For surface mount application with no
overhead restriction, level and fasten the guide
rails onto the opening before setting hood
assembly into the guide rails. (This will require a
minimum of 50mm ( 2” ) of overhead clearance
above the height of the hood assembly).

HTF & HTF-40 guide rails
are interchangeable.
V40-N has an extra 3mm

HTF-Secure has an extra
3mm (1/8”) of build-out
thickness and is not
interchangeable. Must be
mounted with protective foil
side inline with the front of
the hood assembly.

Step 3
Mount Build-Out & Guide Rail Assembly
(3.3) If build-out is applicable, level & fasten
with unprotected side facing the wall in the
following order:
1.)
1.) Vertical build-out with guide rails. Fasten
bottom & second down mounting hole from
the top (this will allow room for minor
adjustment). If the floor is sloping you must
install the high side first.
2.) Horizontal top, bottom and sill build-out.
(3.1) Build-Out Standard Locations:
Left Guide Rail (pre-drilled & attached)
Right Guide Rail (pre-drilled & attached)
Mullion Guide
Hood Assembly Top
Hood Assembly Bottom
Sill
Sizes:10mm / 20mm / 30mm / 40mm / 50mm
(3.2) Proper mounting of build-out is subject
to adjacent structure location and condition.
Ensure that fasteners are long enough to
Ensure that fasteners are long enough to
sufficiently penetrate mounting surface for a
secure mount. Some build-out components
do not come pre-attached and will require
independent mounting. Reference shop
drawing for further information.

Mount Build-Out & Guide Rail Assembly
Step 4
U-Sill, L-Sill or No-Sill
(3.6) Level guide rails plumb & parallel with
unprotected side facing the wall. If the floor is
sloping you must fit the higher side first.
(3.7) Fasten guide rail’s second down from
the top (#1, #2) & bottom (#3, #4) mounting
holes (this will allow room for minor
adjustment).
U - Sill L - Sill L - Stop
(4.1) Adjust bottom width of the guide rails to
the length of the sill to assure optimal shutter
operation.
L-Sills are provided and mounted to the total
outside width of guide rails.
U-Sills are provided and mounted to the interior
span between the guide rails. Drill adequate
weeping holes for water drainage if necessary
(use level to determine).
For No-Sill applications L-Stops will be provided
For No-Sill applications L-Stops will be provided
(installation is optional and dependant on
application).
(3.4) Measure the hood assembly length.
This will give you outside of guide rail to
outside of guide rail dimension.
(3.5) Place marks on the opening where your
guides will line up.

Step 5
Install Hood Assembly
(5.1) 60mm/70mm axles have an adjustable
shaft on the opposite side of the motor.
Check set screw before attaching the hood
assembly.
(5.2) Feed the wire lead through the hood
assemblies's exit port grommet.
(5.3) With assistance feed wire lead through
previously drilled exit hole in the opening and
mount hood assembly by inserting end cap
legs into the guide rails.
(Pinch Points)
(5.4) Verify level, plumb & square, adjust
mounting holes (#1, #2, #3 & #4) to achieve
desired fit. Complete fastening guide rails
ensuring that top fasteners secure hood assembly
to the opening and the guide rails.
(5.5) For specific commercial or oversized
applications you will need to secure hood
assembly to the structure behind. Use
30x30mm L-angle or flat-washers as backing
to secure evenly along the edges every
30-60 cm.

Step 6
Standard and standard CMO tubular motors require a licensed electrician for completing the
installation procedure.
For outdoor installations a drip loop must be formed on the wire lead to prevent water from
entering the tubular motor.
WARNING (STANDARD, STANDARD CMO)
Incorrect
Do not wire two or more standard LT
motors to one single pole switch. This will
cause the motors to malfunction and void
warranty.
Correct
Two motors, double pole switch.
All lead connection must be carried through a UL
certified junction box. Use twist-on wire caps to
secure wire lead connections.
T
To control more than 2 motors with 1 switch you
will need to install an Individual Group Control
(IGC4N1).
Photo eye sensors may be installed for safety.
Smart Motor Control (SMC II Required).
Correct
One motor, single pole switch.
