Step 1. Cut roller tube to required length. IMPORTANT Impact detection does not require a 2 piece drive set. The use of a standard 1 part drive adapter is compatible. Zipscreen is needed to let the impact transmit to the top during downward movement. The top tube must be able to freely rotate ~ 5 degrees after installation. Step 2. Ensure roller tube is clean and free from burrs. Step 3. Fit required crown, drive and bracket adapters. Tube must be close fitting with chosen crown and drive adapters. Step 4. Slide Motor into tube. Insert by aligning key-way in crown and drive wheel into the tube. Crown Drive Retaining Clip Step 5. Mount motorized tube onto brackets.

At this point the motor will ignore any other remote or sensor commands for 8 minutes. This function is needed to avoid contradicting multiple triggers. Keep this in mind when testing the motor with the remote after the wind sensor has been triggered. The wind sensor function is ON by default. Note: Motor will jog to alert user if operated within the 8 minutes. 23 | Automate Programming Instructions | AX30/AX50 External Shade Motor ROLLEASE ACMEDA G 11 TROUBLE SHOOTING Problem Cause Remedy Motor is not responding A/C power supply not plugged in. Check motor to power cable connection and AC plug Transmitter battery is discharged Replace battery Radio interference/shielding Ensure transmitter is positioned away from metal objects and the aerial on motor or receiver is kept straight and away from metal Receiver distance is to far from transmitter Move transmitter to a closer position Power failure Incorrect wiring Check power supply to motor is connected and active Check that wiring is connected correctly (refer to motor installation instructions) Always reserve an individual channel for programming functions SYSTEM BEST PRACTICE - Provide an extra 15 channel controller in your multi-motor projects, that provides individual control for each motor for programming purposes Place all other motors into sleep mode (refer to P1 button function overview - Section 3) Cannot program a single Motor
