No, the motor is charged while installed.

First charge takes 6 hours. Further charges up to 3 hours. Stop charging when the LED changes from RED to GREEN.

Simply recharge with the AC adaptor that came with the blind.

No, the battery is designed for the full life of the motor.

The Automate Li-ion batteries are estimated to power 500 up/down cycles per charge. These numbers are impacted by shade size and fabric weight, but on average our motors in prevalent size shades are able to last about a year and half under normal operation (one cycle per day).

The rechargeable Automate Li-ion motors can successfully be recharged around 500 times. Lifecycle testing, which included radio sleep/wake cycling as well as load testing, identified that our motors can be successfully recharged 500 times.

The batteries cannot be overcharged. Automate motors feature a charge-management circuit that adjusts the amount of electrical current feeding the battery. As a battery reaches its maximum charge, the circuit will limit the current eventually shutting off power once the battery is fully charged.

Lithium Ion batteries degrade over time, slowly, as does everything. The real question is how much and when. Our lifecycle testing suggests that our Li-ion batteries exhibit nominal annual degradation and that the degradation is consistent over time (i.e. there is no cliff where the batteries will unexpectedly stop holding a charge). The batteries will degrade slowly over time – the rate depends on load, environmental conditions, manufacturing and use. But they can hold a meaningful charge for the duration of their lifespan–500 charges.

It could be the following reasons:

• The remote/sensor battery may be flat. Please replace the battery

• The battery is inserted incorrectly into the remote/sensor. Please refer to your remote’s manual

• The remote is too far from the motor

• No power is present at the motor

For hard wired motors, check that the power supply to the motor is connected and active. For battery motors, make sure that the battery is charged.

• There may be radio interference or shielding. Ensure your remote is positioned away from metal objects and that the aerial on the motor is kept straight and away from metal.

• The motor may be wired incorrectly. Check if the wiring is connected correctly

It could be the following reasons:

• The wrong remote is used with the motor. Refer to section 1.1 above

• The battery is not inserted properly into the remote

• The motor may need to be reset

(Nanometer x 200) / diameter = load. For example, a 34mm tube and 1.1 nanometer motor can lift 6.47kg (1.1×200/34)

The reason could be multiple motors are paired to the same channel.

• Always reserve an individual channel for programming functions

• SYSTEM BEST PRACTISE – Provide an extra 15 channel remote in your multi motor projects for the installer. That provides individual control for each motor for programming purposes

• Place all other motors into sleep mode [ref to P1]

30.

It could be the following reasons:

• The battery is flat.

• Someone accidentally reset the motor to factory settings.

• There is interference, which is unusual.

Refer to your motor manual to reverse the blind direction.

Yes, on a multi-channel remote, they can be adjusted to show the amount of channels in use; e.g. if there are 8 motors on the job you can select it to be an 8 channel remote.

All motors that are programmed to the same remote, automatically respond to channel 0. For example, on channel 0, pressing the up button will move all blinds that are programmed to that remote up.

Unlimited. An unlimited amount of motors can be set to the same channel as one single channel remote.

We have a longstanding OEM manufacturing partner, who has been producing motors for over 30 years.

• Check for excessive friction in the assembly

• Ensure that the tube deductions are correct

• Ensure that there is a suitable clearance between the motor head & bracket

• Ensure the idler pin is not pushing against the bracket, causing friction

Please see our Universal Lead Wiring Guide

• 3 core wiring is used for motors with electronic limit setting

• 4 core wiring is used for motors with mechanical limit setting

ARC stands for Automate Radio Communication. It is the latest motor control technology by Rollease Acmeda. It runs on a frequency of 433Mhz and is bi-directional, which means that control information can flow from a con- troller to the motor and from the motor back to a controller.

It runs on a proven frequency, utilising FSK modulation, which improves resistance of interference against other devices. Programming has been improved for ease of use and installation.
