Occasionally, the limit adjustment buttons are hidden on the back side of the motor from the installer. This
sometimes must happen in order to locate the Manual override where the customer desires it to be. In these
cases, Talius supplies metal brackets in which tabs are accessible to press and release the limit buttons as
necessary. In these cases, you are pulling and releasing. The tabs are labeled “UP” and “DOWN” on the inside
of the endplate for quick identification.

7.2) General Notes For All Motor Types:
Run the Habitat Screen up and down at least twice. Since the
curtain is made of fabric, the curtain may take a few operations to fully settle into place. As such, the limits may
need to be readjusted again slightly. Fabric can also have some stretch factor to it. It may be advisable to set
your bottom limits slightly above the ground, sill, or floor to allow for this stretching. The limit may need to be
adjusted at a later date if the curtain stretches to a point where the Bottom profile is resting on the bottom.
Common Problems and Solutions During Limit Setting for Habitat Screens:
Problem:
The motor stops and will not move under any circumstances.
Explanation:
The motor has overheated. The internal thermal protection switch has cut off power and
will restore it automatically in 10 to 45 minutes, depending on the surrounding temperature.
Motors are designed to run for short intervals only. During limit switch adjustments they
tend to be operated almost continuously and can overheat. The motor is not harmed by
being overheated. While waiting for the reset make sure that power to the motor has been
shut off, or it may reactivate unexpectedly.
Problem:
The limit switch stops the motor at a markedly different position (more than 1" or 25mm
difference) every time it is checked. Trying to adjust it seems not to help. Sometimes it
appears to be in order but a few days later the customer reports that it has moved again.
Explanation:
The limit switch was slightly damaged during initial adjustment most commonly due to
incorrect wiring. This problem will get worse with time. Eventually the limit will be lost
altogether. The motor needs to be replaced. Contact the factory.
Problem:
The Habitat Screen comes to a stop at the upper limit. Soon afterwards the click that the
unit normally makes when it shuts off is heard, once or several times.
Explanation:
A faulty brake in the motor lets the Habitat Screen slide down slightly, almost unnoticeably.
The limit switch eventually gets released and supplies the motor with power, provided the
tester cable or switching mechanism has remained switched in the "up" direction. The motor
runs up momentarily until the limit switch cuts off power again. Then the cycle repeats.
Contact the factory and request a new motor.
