Impact Detection

AUTOMATE | DCFT tubular motors combine the simple, intuitive features of ARC "Automate Radio Communication" with Fabric Tension capability and DC power. Three alternate modes of operation include:
· E-type for standard use
· MANUAL FT Mode for use with conventional locking devices with fabric tensioning
· AUTO FT Mode for use with Rollease Acmeda's proprietary ULTRA LOCK providing automatic fabric tensioning
Functional options in each operating mode include: FAVORITE POSITION & BATTERY CHECK.
· An intermediate setting allows for a customized FAVORITE POSITION to be preset.
· The BATTERY CHECK feature lowers the shade to the level of charge remaining in the battery pack when triggered.
· IMPACT DETECTION senses an obstacle in the blinds path during downward movement and redirects the shade to protect the motor, hardware and fabric, ensuring product longevity.

COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Do not dispose of in general waste. Please recycle batteries and damaged electrical products appropriately.

2 BATTERY PACK MOUNTING OPTIONS

Note: Ensure Motor is rotated so that cable is at the bottom of the motor as illustrated.

2.1 Cassette mounting holes x2
NOTE: If using a compatible external battery, such as MT03-0305-050011, please use the following steps. Battery must only be charged by Rollease Acmeda battery charger MT03-0301-050017. Battery charger LED status: RED = Charging | GREEN = Idle
NOTE: Battery pack will only charge between 0-45°C [32-113°f]. Battery pack must be installed out of direct sunlight.
Recommended to install the battery in a horizontal orientation to minimize the risk of water ingress. Ensure the battery is positioned away from direct contact with water or exposure to adverse weather conditions during installation.

Screws need to be installed from inside Cassette to avoid fabric.

IMPORTANT: WIND SENSOR PRIORITIZE FUNCTION
Once the motor receives a command from the wind sensor, the motor will respond accordingly. At this point the motor will ignore any other remote or sensor commands for 8 minutes. This 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 8 minutes.

Cause

Remedy

Connected Battery is depleted or Recharge with a compatible

Power Supply is not working

charger

Transmitter battery is discharged Replace battery

Battery is inserted incorrectly into transmitter

Check battery polarity

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 too far from transmitter

Move transmitter to a closer position

Charging failure

Check power supply to motor is connected and active

Power Failure

Check power supply to motor is connected and active.

Battery voltage is low

Recharge with a compatible charger
