The Optional Manual Open Feature
NOTE:
The Manual Open feature is only available in systems that were originally ordered with the option. The following instructions
do not apply to the standard Master Carrier.
9.1 Enabling the Manual Open Feature
The Manual Open feature allows the drapes to be manually opened in the event of a power failure, or if the user is not aware the
drapery track is motorized.
With the drapery closed (the window is covered), grasp the drape near the top and pull in the direction of the open limit (exposing
the window). The Master Carrier Hanger Bar will disengage from the Master Carrier Latch Plate, allowing the drape to open
manually. Pull the drape to the desired open position.
9.2 Returning to Motorized Operation
A. To re-engage the Master Carrier manually, pull the drape back to the closed position until the Master Carrier Hanger Bar meets,
then engages, the Master Carrier Latch Plate. Motorized operation is restored.
B. To re-engage the Master Carrier using the drapery drive, double-tap the Open Limit button. The Master Carrier Latch Plate will
move to the open limit position and engage the Master Carrier Hanger Bar. Motorized operation is restored.
9.3 Adjusting the Release Mechanism
The release mechanism is adjustable to increase the force required to disengage the drapery from the motorized carrier system.
When heavier fabric panels are installed, adjustment may be needed to prevent the motorized carrier
system from disengaging under the normal operating load. To test and adjust:
A. With the drapery in the open position (the window is exposed), double-tap the Close Limit button.
B. If the Master Carrier Hanger
Bar disengages from the Latch
Plate during travel, increase the
tension by fully tightening Tension
Adjustment Screws 1A and 1B.
C. Double-tap the Open Limit
button to reopen the drapery, and
re-engage the release mechanism,
then repeat step 9.3A to test the
new tension setting.
D. If the Master Carrier Hanger Bar
disengages from the Latch Plate during travel, increase the tension by fully tightening Tension Adjustment Screws 2A and 2B.
E. Repeat step 9.3C to test the new tension setting.
F. If the Master Carrier Hanger Bar disengages from the Latch Plate during travel, maximize the tension by fully tightening Tension
Adjustment Screws 3A and 3B.
