Installing Relieving Roller(s)
For larger SkyLight 3 FlexShades, up to two (2)
Relieving Rollers may be required
to eliminate sag in the fabric. To install these
Relieving Rollers:
(1)
Locate the sliding
Relieving Roller Anchors that were inserted in the Side
Channels (see Installing End Pulley Brackets: Part One - Step
(1)
and
align them with the lowest point of sag in the fabric.
(2)
Insert one end of the
Roller into one of the Anchors at a slight angle
(see fig. 14).
(3)
Insert the other end of the
Roller into the opposite Anchor and align parallel
to the
Roller Fabric Assembly. Make sure the Draw Cables are set in the
channels provided at each end of the
Roller.
(4)
Slide the
Relieving Roller into position and fix into place with the provided
self-tapping screws.
Attaching Trim Pieces
Part One: Side Channel Trim
The
Side Channel Trim extends along the entire length of the Side Channels.
(1)
Snap the
Trim Piece into the Side Channel. You may need to tap them with a
mallet to secure them properly. Make sure that it is flush with the
End Pulley
Bracket and allows plenty of room for the Tensioning Pulley and Draw
Cables to move unobstructed.
(2)
Secure
Trim in place with provided self-tapping screws in the pre-drilled
mounting holes. These holes will line up with the
Side Channel Mounting
Holes.
(3)
Repeat on the opposite side.
Part Two: End Pulley Bracket Fascia
(1)
Attach the
End Pulley Bracket Trim to the skylight frame, through the
pre-drilled holes, using appropriate hardware (by others).
The SkyLight 3 FlexShade is now properly installed.
Electrical Connections
Shade operates on 110-120V, 60 Hz. current. Shade is shipped with internal wiring
complete and control switch(es) fully boxed, and standardly supplied with a 6' cable
lead. Longer lead can be substituted by removing two screws in motor end of roller,
removing lead, plugging new lead in, and replacing screws. Wire to connect shade to
switch(es) and switch(es) to power supply should be furnished by installer. Connec-
tions should be made in accordance with attached wiring diagram, and wiring should
comply with national and local electrical codes.
DO NOT wire motors in parallel without written permission from Draper.
All operating switches should be “off” before power is connected.
Please Note:
For low voltage wiring requirements, Draper recommends consulting
with a professional low voltage electrical contractor. It is very important that shielded
and stranded CAT 5 cable be used to prevent any electrical interference
Limit Adjustments
1
Connect the ILT switch to the motor via the terminal blocks, or via the modular
port using four conductor modular cable. When using modular cable, the cable
connectors MUST NOT be crimped in reverse, as with standard telephone cable.
2
Set the slide switch to the lower position. Press and hold the DOWN button on
the switch to move the shade to the desired lower limit. If the shade moves in
the opposite direction, release the DOWN button and depress the STOP button.
This will reverse the operation of the UP and DOWN switches.
3
Set the slide switch to the higher position. Move the shade to the desired upper
limit by pressing and holding the UP button on the wall switch.
4
Return the slide switch to the center position to return to normal operation.
5
To set the shade to an alternate format position, move the shade to the desired
position and press the STOP button. Press and hold STOP for at least three
seconds to record the position.
Please Note:
Pressing and releasing the UP button on the switch will move the
shade to its upper limit. Pressing and releasing the DOWN button will move the
shade to its lower limit.
While the motor is in motion, pressing STOP for less than two seconds will stop
the viewing surface at its present position.
Once the motor is stopped, pressing the STOP button will move the shade to its
alternate format position.
Pressing and holding the STOP button, when the motor is at rest or in motion,
for at least three seconds will record a new alternate format position.
