⚠️ IMPORTANT – Don’t let your electric blind battery go completely flat.
Programming & Caring for Your Electric Blinds
Electric blinds are designed to be simple and reliable, but like any rechargeable product, the battery needs a little care.
This page provides instructions for programming your electric blind motors, setting the upper and lower limits, pairing your remote and keeping the rechargeable lithium batteries in good condition.
Important: Keep Your Blind Batteries Charged
One of the most common problems we see with electric blinds is not a faulty motor, but a battery that has been allowed to completely discharge and has then been left flat for an extended period.
Lithium batteries should not be left in a fully discharged state. If the battery voltage falls too low, it can become permanently damaged and may no longer accept a charge.
To help prevent this:
-
Recharge your blinds when you notice the motor beginning to operate more slowly than usual.
-
Don’t repeatedly operate a blind once the battery is too low to operate it normally.
-
Don’t leave a discharged blind for weeks or months before charging it.
-
If you’re going away for an extended period, make sure the blinds are adequately charged beforehand.
-
Follow the charging instructions supplied with your particular motor and charger.
Why This Matters
The rechargeable battery is part of the normal care and maintenance of your electric blinds.
If a battery fails because of a manufacturing defect, that is different from a battery that has been damaged by being repeatedly or excessively discharged or left uncharged for an extended period.
Battery damage caused by incorrect charging, excessive discharge or failure to maintain the battery is not considered a product fault and may not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Replacing a damaged battery or motor assembly can be expensive, so a small amount of regular maintenance can save considerable inconvenience and cost.
Programming Your Electric Blind Motor
Below you’ll find instructions for programming your motor, pairing or resetting your remote, setting the upper and lower limits and troubleshooting common issues.
Before assuming your motor has failed, charge the blind fully and then test it again. A low or discharged battery is one of the first things to check when an electric blind stops operating normally.
