• These instructions apply to a right-mounted system configuration. For left-mounted
configurations, all diagrams are inverted.
• High torque installations require the use of a Sivoia®High Torque Motor Drive Unit (MDU).
Standard Sivoia MDUs should not be used in high torque installations. High torque MDUs
will be shipped with labels identifying them as such.

SYSTEM DIMENSIONS OVERVIEW
Use the following diagrams in conjunction with the Sivoia®Order Invoice to accurately position the mounting brackets.
Notes: 1. Only mount system where ambient temperature will be 32˚F - 122˚F (0˚C - 50˚C).
2. Depending on the height of the shade, tube width can be up to 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) wider than the specified
Fabric Width (FW).
3. Measure Tube Length (see diagram below) and use this dimension when installing mounting brackets.

FASTENING MOUNTING BRACKETS
A. Position the indentions on each bracket (see diagram below) at the desired fabric location. These indentions
designate where the tube edges should lie once the shade roller is in place. Use a level to ensure both brackets are
at the same height and parallel to the window casing.
Note: Fasten the top of the brackets 8 1/2 in. (220 mm) from the top of the window trim to ensure complete
window exposure when the shades are in full open position.
B. Fasten the brackets to studs in the wall using no less than six(6) hex-head self-drilling screws.
Note: All six (6) screws must be securely fastened to a stud or other structural member.
CAUTION! Sivoia®High Torque Roller Shades can weigh up to 225 lbs. (102 kg), depending on the size and
fabric type. Make sure the mounting brackets are fastened to structural elements rated to support such loads.
Before AND after the mounting brackets have been fastened to the wall, confirm the Tube Length
dimension (see pg. 3). Make any necessary bracket position adjustments based on this assessment.

ATTACHING MDU TO MOUNTING BRACKET
B. Attach the MDU to the mounting bracket using three
(3) truss-head screws.
HANGING THE SHADE
A. Unwrap approximately 6 in. (150 mm) of material.
B. Attach the shade to the MDU first by engaging the roller’s hexagonal socket with the motor’s hexagonal drive ball. You
may need to rotate the roller in order to push the shade over the hexagonal drive ball.
C. Insert the idler pin into the slot of the idler support and drop it into place. Make sure the idler support is fully open.

D. Once the idler pin is in place, tighten the shade retaining/leveling screw to keep the idler pin secure (“locked”).
Adjust the leveling of the shade roller by further tightening or loosening the shade retaining/leveling screw.
Note: The idler support is considered to be in the “locked”position when the idler pin cannot be removed from the
idler support slot (see diagram below).

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 on the next page.
Press the Set button to save the
corrent position as the “Close

Multiple MDU Set-Up Codes
SETTING UP MOTOR DRIVE UNIT (MDU) - MULTIPLE MDU's
Control Station: Determines which MDU's in the system will respond to a "Group" keypad or "Group" interface control
that is wired to the MDU being setup. It is not necessary to change the control station setting of an MDU that does not have
any keypads or interfaces wired to it.
Room Address: The room address groups MDU's on the communication link. A group is defined as all MDU's with the
same room address number. There are 32 room addresses available in a single system, therefore, a system can have up to
32 groups. Typically, all MDU's in a room will be set to the same room address. Use the room address to help determine
how keypads will control the MDU's in the system. Refer to the control station setting table below for information on how
the room address setting affects how the system is controlled by keypads or interfaces.
Scene Lockout: Turns off the ability to set or adjust PRESET stop points. To activate, set the scene lockout setting to 1.
To deactivate, set the scene lockout setting to 0. Changing this setting on any MDU will change all the MDU's in the
system. Scene lockout setting can be deactivated from any MDU in the system.
Link Address: Each MDU must be set to a unique Link Address number to allow the MDU's to communicate on the
communication link. There are 64 link addresses available, meaning the maximum number of MDU's in a single system is
64.
Any keypad or interface CANNOT be wired to more
than one MDU.
Group keypads/interfaces and individual
keypads/interfaces can be wired to the same MDU.
A maximum of 9 keypads/interfaces can be wired
to one MDU.
There are two types of Sivoia®keypads and
interfaces, group and individual types. The table
to the left describes how a group type controls a
system depending on the CS setting of the MDU it
is wired to. An individual type only controls the
MDU it is wired to, regardless of the CS setting of
the MDU it is wired to.

IR Address: Used to set the IR address a MDU will respond to. Some IR hand controls have the ability to control
subgroups of shades within a group, as defined by the room address described above. There are 16 subgroups available.
Each IR address (subgroup) is made up of two parts, the IR address number (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8) and its shade location
(F or r), the FRONT shade or the REAR shade. Any number of MDU's can have the same IR address. The IR address can
also be used to determine subgroups of the MDU's when a keypad or interface is used to control the system. Refer to the
control station setting table below for information on how the IR address affects how the system is controlled by keypads or
interfaces.

MDU WITH SV-IR INFRARED RECEIVER MODULE
Sivoia®system covered by
decorative valence
The SV-IR allows the MDU to be controlled directly with a Sivoia®Infrared Handheld Transmitter (SV-OCIT, SV-3PIT,
SV-4S2G-IT, or SV-4GD-OCIT). The SV-IR receiver connects to the MDU via a 20 in. (51 cm) cable. This provides the
SV-IR receiver ample mounting range to offset most infrared signal restrictions caused by a protective/decorative
covering for the shade system. To extend the IR receiver mounting range, add up to five (5) SV-IR-EXT-10 extension
cables (10 ft. [3 m] each).
Note: To control an individual shade with an IR transmitter, the SV-IR must be connected to that MDU. If there is a
Group/Subgroup of MDU’s with the same Room/IR Address (see page 11),the SV-IR need only be connected to
one of those MDU’s to control the entire Group/Subgroup.
- The SV-IR receiver must be located to allow line-of-sight reception of infrared signals.
- The SV-IR has a range of 30 ft. (9 m) when receiving infrared signals.
- The SV-IR must NOT be located near lighting fixtures or in direct sunlight.
- The SV-IR must be located within 50 ft. (15 m) of the MDU it is connected to. Add up to five (5) SV-IR-EXT-10
extension cables (10 ft. [3 m] each).

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM SOLUTION
The shade will not go up or down. 1. Check power to the motor unit by pressing the MODE
button. If the LED display does not show anything check
that:
•transformer is plugged into a live outlet.
•power wiring is not shorted.
•power wiring terminal is not miswired or
disconnected.
2. If the LED display shows something, try to open and close
the shade using the buttons marked open and close on the
motor drive unit. If the shade does not respond, the shade
material or weight bar may be binding on the roller frame or
end brackets. Check for and clear all obstructions.
The shade does not respond to control. 1. Check that power is connected to the shade.
2. Check that the wall keypad has been wired correctly.
3. Check that the control terminal block is connected securely
and in the proper order.
4. Check batteries if using IR remote.
The shade does not roll straight. (Fabric veers or telescopes) 1. If the shade veers or telescopes toward the right, correct by
lowering shade completely and place a piece of tape as
close to the left edge of the roller as possible. If shade
veers or telescopes towards the left, tape must be placed as
close to the right edge of the roller as possible. Note
multiple pieces may be necessary.
