Dual tubes are required on all shades (cellular, pleated, solar, roller, soft and woven wood) greater than 600 sq. in. to extend battery life (excludes horizontal blinds). Dual battery tubes include an offset Y harness for installation (" and 7 /" cable lengths). Battery tube installation considerations Single battery tube dimensions: 8" x ¼" Dual battery tube dimensions: 8" x ¼" when mounted side-by-side 6" x ¼" when mounted end-to-end Battery tubes are installed outside of the window covering For outside mounts, tubes can be installed above or to the side of the shade. For inside mounts, tubes are usually top mounted (behind the headrail) between the shade and the window; to mount the tubes, additional space will be needed. Solar power kit Each kit includes Solar Panel, battery tube and 0 AA NiMH rechargeable batteries, Y harness, battery tube clips, solar panel mounting brackets, glass-mount adhesive strips, alcohol wipes, and instructions. NOTE: It is important for the batteries to have a full charge before operation of the blind or shade to maximize battery life and ensure proper operation. The batteries are fully charged at the time of shade fabrication and should be installed within a week of fabrication. If installation is delayed, place solar panel with filled battery tube in a location that gets periodic sun to keep it charged. Rechargeable NiMH battery charger can be used prior to installation to top off batteries. Plug-in -volt and -volt transformers Eliminate the need to replace batteries with a plug-in transformer. Plan to hide cord behind window treatment or along window casement. MOTOR TIP: It is important that power is not disconnected during operation to avoid unintentional resetting of motor limits. If your motor begins to run noticeably slower, it is time to change the batteries. -volt: 6 ft. power cord + 8 ft. extension -volt: 5 ft. removable motor lead and + 8 ft. extension, cord can be cut to length Multiple-shade, -volt, and -volt power supply 5- and 0-motor power supply are available for direct-wired applications.

46 MOTORIZATION TIPS OF THE TRADE Batteries or transformer? Batteries offer the ability to hide the power more easily than a cord and transformer in many cases. However, batteries need to be changed periodically, so consider ease of access and the expense of 8-6 lithium batteries every year or two for each shade. Extension cables are available (8" and 96") to help installation. Plug-in transformers are a one-time cost and eliminate the need for accessing a battery tube for periodic changes. If you have a means of hiding the wire and transformer (e.g., behind a curtain), transformers are generally the better choice. Recommending a total window solution (which includes side panels, top treatments, etc.) provides an excellent means of hiding the wire. A solar panel with rechargeable batteries is arguably the best alternative. This option offers long periods between battery changes, environmental friendliness, and easy concealment in most cases. Refer to Solar Power Kit instructions for install parameters and performance specifications. Multi-motor power supplies are used when wires can be hidden behind walls or ceilings, known as "direct-wired." Great for new construction projects or remodels. Home Automation Integration The home automation landscape is changing rapidly. There are many low-cost systems being introduced that feature complete wireless control for a home's many products and systems. Graber motorized window coverings, powered by Somfy motors, are the perfect addition to these systems. Numerous interface devices we offer can be added to new or existing motorized window coverings and integrate seamlessly with home automation systems. More information on integration devices can be found in the Motorization Product Guide on swfconnect.com. 6 Visit graberblinds.com to view motorized control How To videos. 7 6

49 . Installation. Determine Location of Solar Panel The solar panel must always be installed indoors, directly against the window glass so as to allow as much natural light as possible to reach the panel. Caution! Never install the solar panel on any window glass allowing less than 65% light transmission (including Low E glass and/or window tinting), or obstructed by a window pane or bug screen. Always leave the photovoltaic cells unobstructed, do not put anything in front of them. The three components which make up the Solar Pack must be installed on the same side as the WireFree motor. Somfy recommends that all components be fitted systematically in order that all components may be connected to the wire harness easily, and that the wire harness does not interfere with the free movement of the interior window covering. Please Refer to the Solar Pack Performance Tables Section 8.0 to confirm proper usage per blind and window orientation. Motor side Battery Tube: Located near the top of the window frame and near the motor side. May be hidden from view. Panel: Located near the top of the window frame and near the motor side. When fully open, shade or fascia may help conceal panel from inside view.. Mounting the Solar Panel. Caution! It is imperative that window hardware or framing does not collide with the solar panel! Careful! Do not damage the wire harness cables during installation. Determined the position of the solar panel (against window, within reach of wire harness) prior to application of -sided tape to insure proper adhesion the first time. Installed: When fully open, shade or fascia may help conceal Solar Pack from inside view. Wire Harness is tucked away... Glass Mounting Caution! To insure a secure adhesive hold over a long period, prepare the inside window glass prior to mounting the solar panel. Important! The adhesive tape should never be touched directly with fingers (or other contaminates) prior to adhesion. ) Clean solar panel bezel corners and window area with alcohol prep pad. Let dry for two minutes. Figure. Glass Mount Adhesive Upper Liner Adhesive ) On a table, with the solar panel facing up, apply the -sided adhesive to four corners of the solar panel bezel. Note: The tape is precut for your convenience in between the top (facer) and bottom (backer) liners. With your fingers, lift off each precut adhesive piece so that it remains attached to the facer material and the opposite side of the tape should then be released from the back liner. See Photo in Figure and Figure. ) Remove the facers of the applied adhesive. Position the bezel with solar panel facing to outdoors, then press entire panel with firm, even pressure into the glass for 0-5 seconds. The panel is now supported by the adhesive to glass bond but will require hours of cure time to allow full strength characteristics. Do not disturb during this period. Figure.

51 6. Product in Use 6. Normal Operation After commissioning, the battery is trickle-charged by electrical energy generated by the solar panel. The energy is stored in the high capacity NiMH battery (acting like a reservoir) and the system provides uninterrupted service through many climatic seasons. It is normal for the battery to gain more energy in summer as compared to winter the Solar Panel converts the intensity of light to energy upon availability. 6. Excessive Energy Use Caution! If daily motor activations exceed recommended cycles per day as stated in the Solar Pack Performance Chart, the solar panel will not be able to replenish the battery as designed. If the motorized shade does not operate due to an excessively diminished battery, the battery may require a full recharge. This may be done with a Somfy Solar Pack Charger (#90860). If the battery no longer provides adequate power to operate your motor, new NiMH batteries should be installed in the battery tube. There is no need to replace any other Solar Pack components. 7 Window Application Tables & Guidelines Window Type SINGLE OR DOUBLE PANE OK LIGHT TRANSMISSION 65% OR GREATER WINDOW TINTING INSIDE WINDOW ONLY Avoid AWNINGS OR DEEP ROOF EVES WINDOW DIVIDERS OVERLAPPING SOLAR PANEL After During Installation Installation Moving Window FIXED WINDOW DOUBLE HUNG SLIDING CASEMENT Concern Clean Install Caution: Avoid Panel Collision Solar Pack Troubleshooting The motor does not work.
