If You Have a DC Power Supply with Daisy-Chain Connections...
The daisy-chain feature allows up to three PowerView
®
Gen 3 automated shades to be
powered by a single DC power supply. However, each shade has its own RF receiver and can
operate independently. The daisy-chain feature is only available with the DC power supply
option.
■
Route the power cables from each shade through the connector, using an extension cable,
if necessary.
■
Plug an extension cable into the connector and the DC power supply. A two-shade
configuration is shown below
.
■
An additional connector and two additional extension cables are used for three shades.
Testing the Shade
Testing the shade with the control button will allow you to ensure the motor and power source
are working correctly. If the shade does not operate, see “Troubleshooting” on page 31.
■
Press and release the control button (located on the bottom or
front depending on your shade type) to test operation. Use a flat
head screwdriver, if necessary. The shade will open, stall, and jog
when reaching the top.
■
Press and release the control button to fully lower the shade.
