Configuration
Power On the Device And Set The Direction
- Connect the power adaptor with a wall outlet, then connect the power cable to the device.
- Check the chain position:
- Left direction: Facing blinds, chain/rope on the left hand.
- Right direction: Facing blinds, chain/rope on the right hand.
- By default, the device is in the right direction. If your blinds are in the left direction, slide the switch on the bottom of the device to the left with the supplied pin. Be careful during this step, as the switch is fragile.
After connection with the app is complete, you can change device motor direction by selecting ‘Motor direction’ from the ‘More’ submenu.
Note:
Please be careful with the switch as it can break easily. Do not force it.
Installation
Installing The Mounting Bracket
Pull down on the blind adjustment chain, ensuring it is taut and without slack. Hang the supplied installation card on the bottom of the chain, keeping the chain held tight. According to the chain position, mark the two “L” or “R” holes on your wall.
Installation Mode 1 - Permanent
For permanent installation, mark the two holes for either “L” or “R” installation with the card. Replace the card with the mounting bracket and screw into place. The mounting bracket can be installed this way either by its side or flat.
Installation Mode 2 (No Holes, Removable)
For a removable installation, use the supplied 3M adhesive to fix to a wall. It is recommended to leave the mounting bracket to set on the wall for at least 12 hours before applying the full weight of the attached device.
Fitting The Blind Adjustment Chain To The Device
Open the device backing by pushing gently inwards to release.
Determine the suitable gear from the below diagram and attach this to the device.
Fix the blind adjustment chain to the gear and close the device backing.
