  • Press the DOWN button again to lower to the Lower Limit
• (If shade is Closed) Press the UP button
  • The shade will raise to the Intermediate (Favorite) Position
  • Press the UP button again to raise to the Upper Limit

1. Adjust the motor to the desired intermediate (favorite) position.
2. Tap the Programming button on the back of the remote—the motor will jog once, indicating limit mode setting is activated.

Troubleshooting

Motor won't move or moves very slowly

Possible Cause: Incorrect voltage or incorrect installation.

Solution: Use the correct voltage required. Check the installation.

Motor stops during movement

Possible Cause: Thermal protection has kicked in, or power failure.

Solution: The thermal protection resets automatically after 3–10 minutes. Check the electrical setup.

Motor reverses without reason

Possible Cause: Obstacle detection is working.

Solution: Check the travel of the shade, and adjust the sensitivity if necessary.

Motor won't exit programming mode

Possible Cause: The motor may be in Continuous Movement Mode.

Solution:

1. Press and HOLD the STOP button for 5 seconds, or until the shade jogs ONCE.
2. TAP the STOP button, and the shade will jog ONCE.
3. The motor will now move to its limits.

Note: If the problem persists, the motor may need to be factory reset.

Shade will move past its upper or lower limit

Possible Cause: There may be an Intermediate (Favorite) Position set.

Solution:

1. First, erase the Intermediate Position by holding the Programming button on the back of the remote for approximately 7 seconds.
2. The shade will jog once immediately, then once again when the limit has been erased.
3. Now erase Upper/Lower Limit by moving to that limit and push and hold the Programming button on the back of the remote for 7 seconds.
4. Move the shade to the new Upper/Lower limits and re-set the limit.

Shade stops working completely

Possible Cause: Motor may have gone into Thermal Protection.

Solution:

1. Verify voltage to the motor.
2. If repeated use, motor will overheat and stop working.
3. Let motor cool for 15–30 minutes and it will start working again.
4. Make sure batteries in the remote are fresh.
5. Make sure remote/control system is within range.

Shade will stop and reverse direction on its own

Solution:

1. Check for any obstructions in the shade's path.
2. Verify that the shade fabric isn't catching or binding.
3. Make sure the shade is level.
4. Clean and lube inner track with a silicone-based lubricant.
5. Adjust sensitivity of the Obstacle Detection.

Note: This behavior is a safety feature to prevent damage. If the issue continues after addressing physical obstructions, the motor's obstacle detection may need calibration.
