Measuring For Roller ShadesMeasuring For Roller Shades



Tip:Use a metal tape measure. A cloth tape may stretch and distort measurements. Be sure to measure every window. Some may appear identical and often are not.

Measuring For Roller Shades



Inside mounted treatments are recessed within the window opening. When the shade is mounted inside the frame it gives a clean, custom built-in look

Tip:For the shade to fit in the window frame, the jamb extension must be 2 3/4” deep or greater. For larger shades the depth may need to be 4”.

Inside Frame Measurement

When ordering shades that will be mounted inside a frame it is a good idea to request a deduction. The fabricator will then take a minor deduction to the width to ensure the brackets do not bind when installed. When you fill out the shade request on-line specify the shade measurement type as ‘inside frame’ and a deduction will be added to your quote.



Top

Center

Bottom

Measure the width at the top, center, and bottom of the opening. Use the narrowest of the 3 measurements.

Measure the height of the opening.

Width (3 locations) Height

Inside Frame Measurements



• The red line represents the ‘light gap’• A motor always must be wider than the fabric• The width of the opening dictates the maximum width of the motor, mounting hardware and brackets

• A fabricator builds the treatment based on the opening size

• The shade material must be narrower than the motor, there is a space between the fabric and the sides of the opening

• The width of the ‘light gap’ varies based on a motor type and the size of the treatment

• The light gap on low voltage motors is typically 5/8”

• The light gap on a line voltage motor ranges from 1 1/8” to 1¼”

• The distance on both sides is not always equal (See example image)

• In most residential applications the light gap falls on a trim molding so the glass is fully covered

Dimensions may change based on motor and assembly

Inside Frame Shade Light Gap



• For true blackout applications order a set of rails and sills

• Rails and sills are metal ‘U’ channels mounted to the sides and bottom

• Blackout material falls in the ‘U’ channel to block light and fill the ‘light gap’

*The side rail is shown in orange to highlight it in the illustration. Rails and sills are white or brown and can be painted. They are available up to 20’ long

Surface Mount Shade Measurements

• Outside mounted treatments mount either on the wood frame or above the window

• They will make a window appear bigger and hide unattractive windows

• Use an outside mount when there is not sufficient depth for inside mounting



Outside Bracket (OB) Measurement:• This is the most popular surface mount measurement technique

• Measure the exact area to be covered• Include overlap on the surrounding wall or frame

• The motor mounts directly to the top molding and is built to the same width as the window and molding

Cloth Measurement:• The architecture of the room dictates that the cloth must cover a specific area

• The motor and brackets can extend past the width of the window and molding

Cloth MeasurementOutside Bracket (OB)Measurement Outside Bracket (OB)

• The width of the motor and brackets are even with the molding outer edge

• There is a light gap which varies based on the motor type and size of the window treatment

Cloth Measurement• The motor and bracket expand beyond the sides of the window

• The cloth covers the area specified on the order

Device Manager



Programming the SDN Network

• Make certain there is one (and only one) motor powered on the SDN network

• 3rd Party controllers cannot be connected when reading motor addresses

• Once connected, click ‘Get MTR Addr’• The address next to Single will be used in the HAI software (F1FCF9)

• Confirm the motor is communicating• In the lower right corner, click ‘Get’

• You should see a value from the top (shade shown is up) and Limit (lower)

• Click Up Limit or Down Limit to run the motor and confirm limits

• Note, limits cannot be set in the software, see previous slides for setting limits with a limit setting tool

0 pulses from top = all the way up

Use Up Limit to put the shade up



Connecting the HAI

• Move the jumper on the serial port to the right 2 pins (RS-485)

• Use the Worthington Distribution SOMHAICBL cable to plug into an SDN Network port

• The typical connection point for the SOMHAICLB will use an SDN Network port on the Somfy Power/Data board (for 24VDC) or on the ILT Tap (for 110VAC)

• The ILT Tap needs 12VDC• A 9-12VDC power supply can be connected to the connector (labeled as 9VDC, 12VDC is OK)

• Phantom power from the J1 power/data board for the ST-30 (use when mixing 110VAC and 24VDC motors)

Programming the HAI with SDN

• When using Somfy SDN (Somfy Digital Network) ILT (110VAC) and RS-485 (24VDC) communicating motors set the serial port to Somfy ILT (even when using RS-485 motors)

• Read each motor address from the ILT2-ST30 software

• Remember to have 1 motor powered at a time and no 3rd party controllers attached

• Under Units in the HAI, change the House Code to Somfy

• Name the Shade• Click the far right address• Type the address from the ILT2-ST30 software into the PCAccess Address

• Repeat for additional shades



Shade Movement In the ILT2 Software

• Movement – Manual control of the shade• 0 next to Down Limit is not supported

• Jog – Not used with roller shads (tilt motor feature)• Abs Position – You can type in a pulse number to place the shade in a specific location

• Rel Position – Type in a percentage from 0-100%• Go to IP – Go to a pre-programmed Intermediate Position (typically not used with 3rd party controllers)

• Motor speed can be changed in the ST-30 motor• Click ST-30 at the top and ST-30 Speed Settings will appear at the bottom

• GET: Get ST-30 Speeds• CLEAR: Clear speeds from screen not the motor• SET: Sends the speed to the motor• Roll Speed: UP/DOWN Speed (6 - 28 RPM)• Slow Speed: Not used with roller shades



Group addresses in the ILT2 Software

• Group addresses allow more than 1 shade to be controlled by a single command

• Group address are typically not used with 3rd party controller, it is often easier to send level commands

• This slide is to document the procedure, it is only recommended when a large number of shades need to move at the exact same time

• Remember 1 motor powered at a time and no 3rd party controllers attached

• The 16 blanks under Group Addresses represent the 16 potential groups that the motor can join

• As the installer, you assign group numbers• Each group is 6 characters from 0 – F• Keep things simple and use a scheme like 000001 –000016 (If you need 16 groups)
