🔴: BEFORE INSTALL– On inside mount installation, check upper corners of the opening clearance as necessary to prevent interference with the bracket and end caps.

🔴: Ensure the fasteners used are adequate for the weight of the Zen 2 Shade and the structure.

Installation

Mounting the Brackets (Wall Mount):

1. Use appropriate fasteners to mount the brackets to vertical structural supports.
2. Mount brackets at the width the shade was ordered.
3. All brackets must be level to each other.

---

Mounting the Brackets (Ceiling Mount):

1. Use appropriate fasteners to mount the brackets to horizontal structural supports.
2. Mount brackets at the width the shade was ordered.
3. All brackets must be level to each other.

---

Installing the Material Roll:

🔴: Installation requires two or more people and/or hoisting equipment. Use safe lifting and rigging techniques.

1. Remove the material roll and install between the two brackets.
2. Insert the idler shaft into the idler bracket bushing.
3. Once the idler side is installed, push the motor side into the other bracket end.
   • The material roll will “click” into place.

Installing the Zipper Tracks:

1. Disassemble the track by removing the screws holding the zipper track assembly to the mounting side of the track.
2. Pull the zipper track assembly away from the mounting side.

   • 🔴: For the next step, use fixed track side “a” for inside mounting; use fixed track side“b” for wall mounting.      

3. Position the fixed track 1/2” below the brackets and in line with the fabric.
4. Outside of the track should be flush with bracket end caps.
5. 🔴: Make sure that the tracks are mounted level and plumb in all directions.
6. Use appropriate fasteners to secure the track to the installation location, and secure the track against the mounting surface.
7. Screw placements of zipper track into wall are: 6” from the bottom, every 2’ after that, and 6” from the top.
8. Angle the top of the zipper track housing and align under the material path.
9. Feed the zipper into the top of the zipper track housing and pivot the bottom until it seats with the fixed track.
10. Secure the zipper track housing to the fixed track with screws.

Installing the Cable Guides:

1. Run the cable through the hem bar end cap and position the crimped end just above the cable mount as pictured in figure 2A.
2. Capture the crimped end of the guide cable as pictured in figure 2B.

---

Tensioning the Cables:

1. Mount the Tensioner: Secure the tensioner to the mounting surface.

2. Cut the Cable: Measure from the cable mount to the tensioner’s mounting hole, ensuring the cassette is level and the cables are plumb. Cut the cable accordingly.

3. Insert & Tighten: Insert the cable into the tensioner. To tighten, turn the locknut clockwise until it is firmly seated against the bottom of the tensioner.

4. Anchor Placement: Mount the wall anchor 0.5” to 0.75” above the ground.

5. Final Check: Ensure the left and right cables remain parallel, with no more than ¼” variation from top to bottom.

For tightening: Turn clockwise to tighten, counterclockwise to loosen. Follow proper anchoring instructions based on the substrate.

Removing the Cable Guides:

🔴: Cable guides comes along with a Quick Release tool kit

Step 1: Place the Tool on the Cable

Snap the Release Tool onto the cable, ensuring a secure fit.

Step 2: Insert into the Fitting

Firmly insert the tool's shaft into the end of the Quick-Connect® fitting to release the locking jaws.

Step 3: Adjust the Fitting

While maintaining pressure on the tool, remove or reposition the fitting as needed. Once the tool is removed, the automatic locking jaws will re-engage, securing the cable in place.

Line Voltage (AC) Connections:

🔴: Important Installation Notice

• Compliance: Installation must comply with all local electrical codes when working with 110V AC power. Always consult a certified electrician when necessary.

• Zen Shade Connection: All Zen shades are shipped with an internal disconnect. Before operating the shade, open the shade door and complete the connection.

• DO NOT cut less than 18" from quick connector.

---

AC - RS-485 Wiring:

💡Tip: Only 3 conductors are needed since the motor is AC powered

1. Data + = ORANGE/WHITE
2. Data - = ORANGE
3. Ground = BROWN

• If using CAT 5/6
  1. A CAT 5/6 Coupler or Barrel can be used to extend the wire directly to your TRO.Y 2 or Janus' RJ45 ports using the standard 568b pinout.

• If using CrestNet or Lutron Wire with 4 conductors and a drain.
  1. Use a SPIKE to convert an RJ45 to the Phoenix.

Operation & Maintenance Guidelines

Zen 2 Shade Operation & Maintenance Guidelines

• Responsible Operation: Only authorized individuals should operate the shade system.

• Clear Path Before Use: Always ensure the shade’s path is free of furniture or obstacles before operating. Monitor for smooth movement throughout its range.

• Avoid High Wind Operation: Do not lower the shade in wind conditions exceeding 20 mph. If the shade is already down, it may be retracted but should not be operated during strong winds.

Maintenance Guidelines

• Zipper Guide – Side Track: Clean tracks annually or bi-annually to prevent debris buildup. Use light power washing or low PSI compressed air. In dry/dusty conditions, apply a light coat of food-grade silicone spray.

• Fabric Maintenance: Shades may collect debris and pests over time. Clean with a hose or a low-pressure washer using fabric-safe soap. Avoid scrubbing with bristle brushes or pads.

• Cable & No-Guide Fabric Edges: Trim frayed edges with scissors or a blade, then carefully cauterize with a lighter or heat gun. Avoid prolonged heat exposure to prevent damage.

• Power Cable Connection: The power cable is shipped disconnected for easier installation. If installing without removing the material roll, connect the power cable before mounting to ensure accessibility.

Following these guidelines will ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Zen 2 Shade system.
