The Optional Manual Open Feature
Note: The Manual Open feature is only available in systems that were originally ordered with the option. The following instructions do
not apply to the standard Master Carrier.
NOTE: The Manual Open feature is not available with Pull-to-Start.
11.1 Enabling the Manual Open Feature
The Manual Open feature allows the drapes to be manually opened in the event of a power failure, or if the user is not aware the
drapery track is motorized.
With the drapery closed (the window is covered), grasp the drape near the top and pull in the direction of the open limit (exposing the
window). The Master Carrier Hanger Bar will disengage from the Master Carrier Latch Plate, allowing the drape to open manually. Pull
the drape to the desired open position.
11.2 Returning to Motorized Operation
A.
To re-engage the Master Carrier manually, pull the drape back to the closed position until the Master Carrier Hanger Bar meets,
then engages, the Master Carrier Latch Plate. Motorized operation is restored.
B.
To re-engage the Master Carrier using the drapery drive, double-tap the Open Limit
move to the open limit position and engage the Master Carrier Hanger Bar. Motorized operation is restored.
11.3 Adjusting the Release Mechanism
The release mechanism is adjustable to increase the force required to disengage the drapery from the motorized carrier system.

under the normal operating load. To test and adjust:

With the drapery in the open position (the window is
exposed), double-tap the Close Limit
