Energy Performance

General Information

NFRC 102 2010 performed by Architectural Testing Inc.

Graber® Cellular Shades are the smart choice for every window in your home. For year-round comfort, cellular shades effectively insulate your windows from the heat and cold. Regardless of climate, they are our most versatile and energy-saving window treatment available.

Sanctuary fabric is constructed with three layers made up of a 100% metalized polyester film sealed between two layers of soft, high-quality, 100% spunlace fabric. This unique design forms a soft, thick barrier of insulation. Independent tests prove Sanctuary 1⁄2" double cell fabric is one of our most insulating fabrics on the market.*

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)SHGC measures how well window covering blocks heat from the sun from flowing to the interior. SHGC is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. The lower the SHGC, the better a product is at blocking unwanted heat gain.

R-ValueR-Value indicates the effectiveness of the window covering at preventing energy from flowing to the outside. The higher the R-Value, the greater the insulating effectiveness.

Block the SunHomes in warmer climates benefit from cellular shades’ lightblocking properties to keep the heat from transferring to the inside.

Sanctuary 1⁄2" double cell delivers a 60% reduction in heat transfer during the summer.*

Block the ColdHomes in colder climates benefit from cellular shades’ insulating properties to block out the cold and regulate inside temperatures.

Sanctuary 1⁄2" double cell delivers a 22% reduction in heat transfer during the winter.*

Motors can be powered by batteries, plug-in transformer, or multi-motor power supply . Each shade requires a motor and appropriate power source .

Power ConsiderationsLarger shades consume more power while operating . When choosing the appropriate power source based upon the shade size we recommend the following power sources for the best performance .

Shade Size square inches (cm2) Recommended Power Source

0 to 3,600 (0 to 23,225 .8) Batteries (single or dual), plug-in, or multi-motor power supply

3,600 to 7,200 (23,225 .8 to 46,451 .5) Dual battery cases, plug-in, or multi-motor power supply

7,200 (46,451 .5) Plug-in or multi-motor power supply only

Dual battery cases are recommended for larger shades (over 3,600 square inches (23,225 .8 cm2)) to extend battery life .

Transformer power is recommended for larger shades (over 7,200 square inches (46,451 .5 cm2)) to provide the best experience with regular shade operation .

Battery Case ConsiderationsBattery power recommended for maximum of 10 shades for best battery performance.Battery cases are installed in space outside of the product and can be a challenge to hide in some windows .

For Inside Mounts• The cleanest and simplest method available for cellular and pleated shades

is the integrated battery case hanger; this hanger attaches directly to a shade bracket to support the battery case while allowing the case to be removed for battery changes; additional recessed space will be needed

For Outside Mounts• For outside mounts, battery cases can be installed above or to the side of

the shade

NOTE: For best performance, use only AA lithium batteries .

Battery case dimensions: 91⁄4" (23 .5 cm) x 11⁄4" (3 .2 cm) x 7⁄8" (2 .3 cm)Dual battery cases installed end-to-end: require 21" (53 .4 cm) of space

(including connectors)Battery case minimum recessed space (installed with bracket): product minimum recessed space

Virtual Cord™ Power Considerations

Solar/Roller, Natural Shades, Soft, Layered, and Sheer Shade Battery Considerations

DC Plug-in Transformer Considerations

A power outlet must be within cord length to power motor.Transformer includes 72" (182 .9 cm) power cord and a 96" (243 .9 cm) extension cable (power cord and extension cord cannot be cut to length or trimmed) .

A transformer is recommended on all shades over 7,200 square inches (46,451.5 cm2).Transformer dimensions4" (10 .2 cm) wide x 2" (5 .1 cm) deep (not including plug) x 11⁄2" (3 .9 cm) tall (as you look at the plug in the outlet) .

NOTE: Due to the many variations of installations, wire management components are not included with your motorized shade system . There are numerous wire management products available at your local hardware store or home improvement center to help disguise the power cord when using a plug-in transformer . An example of a popular wire management accessory, is wire channel . Wire channel is a vinyl sheathing that can be placed along the window casing or wall that will house and conceal exposed wiring for a clean and professional appearance .

Multi-Motor Power Supply ConsiderationsTransformer enclosure is generally mounted in an accessible indoor location such as a basement, utility closet, or garage . Motors are “home run” wired to the panel using 16 gauge wire .

12 Volt: 10-motor power supply available for all Graber® products and includes connectors .Dimensions: 12" (30 .5 cm) wide x 6" (15 .3 cm) deep x 12" (30 .5 cm) high .

CAUTION: A licensed electrician is required for all line voltage electrical connections . All local and NEC codes must be followed .

8 Quick Start Guide

Knowing Your Shade’s Limits and Home PositionTo help you get started quickly and easily, we set your shade up with predefined positions.

You can adjust each of these positions to fit the needs of your home—just follow the instructions in the Adjusting Your Shade’s Limits and Home Position section on page 11.

Upper Limit: The highest position your shade can reach. We pick a position that gives you the best view and also protects your shade from damage.

Lower Limit: The lowest position your shade can reach. This matches the shade length you ordered.

Home Position: We set this to the midpoint of your shade, but you can adjust it to any point between the upper and lower limits. Not available with the two-button remote.

12 Adjusting Your Shade’s Limits and Home Position

Adjusting the Upper Limit

For the Two-Button or Single-Channel Remote

21Pairing Your Remotes and Shades

We preprogrammed your remotes to operate your shades. However, you might decide to adjust the pairing—for example, you might lose a remote and need to pair a new one, or you might buy an additional remote after you buy your shades. This section shows you how to pair remotes and shades for a variety of control scenarios.

To make the instructions easy to follow, steps for the multi-channel remote are separated into their own section.

PAIRING YOUR REMOTES AND SHADES

NOTE If you don’t press any buttons for 10 seconds while you’re making these adjustments, the remote will time out. If that happens, just start the process over.

22 Pairing Your Remotes and Shades

Pairing Your Two-Button or Single-Channel Remote

The two-button and single-channel remote behave almost identically. The only difference between these remotes is that the single-channel remote has a home button, while the two-button remote doesn’t.

In this section, we cover pairing instructions for either the two-button or single-channel remote. So while the remote images shown might not match the remote you’re using, the steps will still work for you.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM SOLUTION

I need to replace the batteries for my shade or remote.

Replacing Batteries for the ShadeInsert eight AA lithium batteries per battery case.

Replacing Batteries in the Two-Button orSingle-Channel RemoteInsert a #CR2430 lithium coin battery. You’ll need a screwdriver to open the battery compartment.

Replacing Batteries in the Multi-Channel RemoteInsert two AAA batteries.

The programming steps aren’t working.

If you don’t press any buttons for 10 seconds while you’re programming your remote or shade, the remote will time out. If that happens, just start the process over.

My shade doesn’t respond when I press buttons on my remote.

If the LED on the remote doesn’t light up when you press a button on the remote, replace the battery in the remote first. • For a two-button or single-channel

remote, you’ll need a #CR2430 lithium coin battery.

• For a multi-channel remote, you’ll need two AAA batteries.

If that doesn’t fix the issue, after checking battery orientation, replace the batteries in the shade. You’ll need eight AA lithium batteries per battery case.

If you’ve verified that the batteries in the remote and shade are good and you’re still experiencing this issue, ensure that the motor’s antenna is exposed. If you haven’t already, remove any securing tape and position the antenna so that it’s exposed and away from the shade headrail. Avoid crimping or damaging the antenna or power lead.

Ensure that shade and remote are paired. See Pairing Your Remotes and Shades on page 21.

36 Troubleshooting

My multi-channel remote isn’t working.

If your shade isn’t responding to your multi-channel remote, confirm that you’re on the correct channel for the shade you’re trying to operate. To check the channel, press any button on the remote and note which channel number is displayed.

What do the LED colors on my remote mean?

If you press a button on your remote and the LED flashes:• Green: The battery in your remote

is good.• Green and amber: The battery in your

remote is low and will need to be changed soon.

• Green and red: Replace the battery in your remote with a #CR2430 lithium coin battery.

What do the LED colors on my shade mean?

If you press the program button on your shade and the LED flashes:• Green: The power source—battery case

is good• Green and amber: The power source—

battery case is low and will need to be changed soon

• Green and red: Replace the batteries in the battery case with 8 AA lithium batteries.

My shade moves in the opposite direction of the button I pressed on my remote.

If the UP and DOWN buttons on your remote are reversed, follow these steps to switch them back. Note that you can perform these steps only with a two-button or single-channel remote.

1. Move the shade to any point between the upper and lower limits.

2. Press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. When the remote LED turns amber, release both buttons.

The shade will jog.

3. Press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons at the same time for another 3 seconds. When the remote LED turns amber, release both buttons.

The shade direction has now been reversed.
