Description

The Sivoia®SV-CP Coupled Pin Kit (to be used in

conjunction with an SV-MDU-20) allows a single Motor Drive

Unit (MDU) to drive more than one shade.

Important Notes

1. All shades controlled by the MDU must be the same height.

2. All shades must be made of the same fabric to ensure

hembar alignment.

3. The total combined fabric from all shades connected to the

MDU must not exceed 100 sq. ft. (30.5 sq. m).

4. The maximum width allowed for each tube in the coupled

system is 10 ft. (3.05 m).

5. All shades must be driven along a single axis (no off angle

positioning).

6. The MDU can be configured to operate from the left or right

side. See the original MDU Installation Instructions for

details.

Replace Idler Pin

A. Place the adjustable hub onto the end of the coupled

idler pin.

B. Tighten the two (2) hex screws on the adjustable hub

snug enough to keep the shade from unrolling.

I. Pre-Installation

II. Fasten Mounting Brackets

Attach Adjustable Hub

Fasten Mounting Brackets

A. Mark a vertical center line with respect to the fabric gap / windows.

B. Mark 3/4”(19 mm) from the center line of the fabric gap / windows toward the MDU. This designates where the

fabric locators of the idler mounting bracket will be positioned.

Note: This bracket placement is based on a right-mounted MDU. The bracket placement for the left-mounted

configuration will be reversed.

Note: These screws will be loosened again

near the end of installation for final

adjustments.

A. Remove the idler pin from the shade coupler (from

the shade to be mounted closest to the MDU) by first

removing the retaining screw using a #2 phillips

screwdriver.

B. Place the new coupled idler pin in the shade coupler

and replace the retaining screw.

Attach Idler Supports

Attach the idler supports to the appropriate mounting

brackets using three (3) truss-head screws.

Note: Do not attach the idler supports or the MDU before fastening the brackets.

C. Mark the Bracket to Bracket width for each shade.

D. Fasten the brackets to studs in the wall using four (4) pan-head mounting bracket screws. Use the Bracket to

Bracket width as a guide to properly position the end brackets. Use a level to ensure the brackets are at the same

height.

Notes:

•All four (4) screws must be securely fastened to a stud or other structural member.

•Place the top of the brackets 5”(127 mm) from the top of the window trim to ensure complete window exposure

when the shades are in full up position.

II. Fasten Mounting Brackets (continued)

A. Unwrap approximately 1 ft. (0.305 m) of shade material.

B. Attach the shade to the MDU first by engaging the shade’s hexagonal socket with the motor’s hexagonal drive ball.

You may need to rotate the shade in order to push it over the hexagonal drive ball.

Attach MDU to Bracket

Attach the MDU to the mounting bracket using three (3)

truss-head screws.

C. Insert the coupled idler pin (with the adjustable hub attached) into the upper slot of the first idler support and drop it

into place.

III. Hanging the Shades (continued)

Hang Second Shade

Note: The second shade does not require any modifications for mounting.

A. Unwrap approximately 1 ft. (0.305 m) of shade material on the second shade.

B. Attach the second shade to the adjustable hub by engaging the shade’s hexagonal socket with the hub’s hexagonal

drive ball. You may need to rotate the shade in order to push it onto the hexagonal drive ball.

C. Insert the idler pin into the upper slot of the second idler support.

D. Tighten the shade retaining screw (#2 Phillips Screwdriver) underneath the idler support to secure the shade in

place.

D. Tighten the shade retaining screw underneath the idler support to secure the shade in place (see Step D, “Hang

First Shade”at the top of this page) .

IV. Final Adjustments

A. Adjust the shade leveling screw underneath each idler support to level the shade rollers.

Note: Lower the shades to their lowest level and use the window sill as a guide to level the hembars.

B. Align the height of the hembars (with respect to each other) by loosening the screws on the adjustable hub.

1. While holding the shade driven by the adjustable hub, loosen the hub’s hex screws enough to manually turn the

shade and align the hembars.

2. Adjust the shades manually until both hex screws are accessible with a hex wrench.

3. Once the hembars are aligned, re-tighten the hex screws (to approximately 20–45 in.-lbs.).

V. Motor Drive Unit (MDU) Set-Up

Note: If the hembars are not properly aligned after finishing these steps, go back and repeat the previous section on

page 6, Section IV: Final Adjustments.

The Motor Drive Unit (MDU) should come from the factory with limits set. In order to change the factory limits, follow

the steps below. If there is only one MDU in the system, open and close limits are the only steps required. Follow the

programming steps outlined in the programming table below. If the system has multiple MDUs, follow the single MDU

setup directions for each MDU and then continue with the setup codes for multiple MDU systems found in the

installation instructions enclosed with the SV-MDU-20.
