INSTALLATION MOUNT EASYSHADE HOUSING TO HOUSE 1. Determine the desired location for the Mounting Brackets, making sure they are plumb and level. Mark the two hole locations with a pencil, for the Bracket. Drill holes with a 1/8” bit, approximately 1-½” deep, at both hole locations. Repeat for the Mounting Bracket on the other side, and the center mounting location on 10’ to 12’ models. Note: Aluminum Housing and Cable Brackets need to be mounted on the same Vertical Surface.

Determine how far down your EasyShade will be extended (this is limited to the length of the Vinyl Coated Cable, but you can not exceed 84” from the bottom of the EasyShade Housing). Mark a Horizontal Line on the wall below each end of the EasyShade Housing Assembly. See Figure 11. 15.

TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Can I “hard-wire” the Motorized EasyShade motor into my home? Once installation is complete, my Motorized EasyShade will not function. Installation Solution The manufacturer cannot be responsible for any changes in the electrical configuration of the Motorized EasyShade. Have your electrician contact Somfy (the motor manufacturer) directly, via their website at http://www.somfy.com for more information.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Fabric rolls up unevenly or pulls to one side when the Motorized EasyShade is being closed. Short lines appear in the Fabric Panel. Fabric appears folded or pleated as it extends from the EasyShade Housing. Appearance Solution 1. Check the Aluminum Housing to ensure it is mounted level on the mounting surface. 2. It is necessary to have the Guiding Cables completely plumb, up and down.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem My Motorized EasyShade retracts but will not fully close into the Aluminum Housing. Fabric is stuck inside the Aluminum Housing Operation (continued) Solution Adjust the Up Limit on your EasyShade motor. See Appendix A, Adjusting the Up and Down Position Limits of the Motor. If the Fabric Panel has been replaced, new Up and Down Position Limits may need to be set for the Motor. If so, see Appendix B, Programming the EasyShade’s Stop Position Settings.

Solution: 1. Unplug Motor, 2. Wait two seconds, 3. Plug in Motor, 4. If the Motor DOES jog, go to Group A. 5. If the Motor DOES NOT jog, go to Group B. GROUP A GROUP B 1.
APPENDIX A Adjusting the Up and Down Stop Position for the Motorized EasyShade Follow these instructions to change the position where the EasyShade stops. This is for both the Up and the Down stop positions. See Figure 20. Figure 20 Up Stop Position 84” (7 ft) Maximum Fabric Panel Extension Note: Do Not exceed the 84” Down Stop Position Limit as this will cause the Fabric Panel to roll up backwards in the housing. See Figure 20. Down Stop Position To Change the Up Stop Position: Figure 21 1.
APPENDIX B Reset All Communications Between the Motor and Remote Transmitter This procedure describes the actions needed to reset the communication between the Motor and the primary Remote Transmitter used to control your Motorized EasyShade.
