Programming Instructions
MOTOR INFORMATION
1. Ensure the motor is protected from damages during transportation, storage, installation, or misuse, as these can cause it to not work properly.
2. Charge the motor every 6 months to ensure optimal performance.
3. If the battery charge is low, the motor will beep 10 times to prompt charging.
4. The maximum running time of the motor is 6 minutes. After this period, the motor will enter sleep mode. It will remain in wake-up/programming mode if restarted.
Programming information resides within the motor. Each motor can store up to 20 copied channels.
CONTROL RANGE
⚠️ SIGNAL STRENGTH AND RANGE MAY VARY DEPENDING ON THE ACTUAL ENVIRONMENT.
The operating temperature range for the motor is between -10°C and 55°C.
- Range in Open Area (L1): 200 meters
- Range with Obstructions (L2): 35 meters
- Emission Frequency: 433.92/868 MHz
RECHARGING THE MOTOR
To recharge the motor's battery, connect the SG DC charger to the motor head charging jack and plug the charger into a standard electrical outlet. The charger's indicator light will turn green when the battery is fully charged (it is red while charging).
Alternatively, the SG Solar Panel can be used to keep the battery constantly charged when exposed to sufficient sunlight.
⚠️ IF PURCHASING MORE THAN ONE CHARGER, PLEASE ENSURE THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE ON THE CHARGER AND MOTOR MATCH.
MOTOR BUTTON LAYOUT
REMOTE BUTTON LAYOUT
The system includes various remote control options:
15 Channel Remote
15 Channel Wall Switch
15 Channel Glass Wall Switch
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
? STOP
- Motors are shipped in factory default mode with no limits set.
- Channel "0" cannot be programmed on a multi-channel remote; it is reserved as a master channel for all motors.
- Select the desired channel before activating wake-up mode, basic, or advanced programming settings.
STEP 1: PREPARING FOR PROGRAMMING
WAKE-UP MODE
(Must be done before Basic & Advanced Programming)
This step is required to establish the connection between the remote and the motor. Ensure operations are performed within 10 seconds of each other; otherwise, the program will cancel, and the motor will revert to default mode. Follow the steps below to wake up the motor.
Note: No limits are assigned during wake-up mode.
- HOLD the motor setting button.
- Wait for the motor to jog once ([motor jog] 1X).
- RELEASE the button to activate the motor.
- The motor will beep once ([motor beep] 1X).
- HOLD the motor setting button again.
- Wait for the motor to jog twice ([motor jog] 2X).
- The motor will beep three times ([motor beep] 3X).
- Setup is complete (✔️).
Test Shade: Move the shade by holding the up or down button to confirm the motor operates on the correct channel and moves in the desired direction.
⚠️ Do not let the shade crash into the valance or unroll completely from the tube.
SWITCH DIRECTION
- HOLD TOGETHER the up and down buttons.
- Wait for the motor to jog once ([motor jog] 1X).
- Setup is complete (✔️).
Test Shade: Move the shade up and down to ensure the direction has been changed correctly.
