This video walks you through how to program or reset battery-powered roller shades, offering clear, step-by-step guidance. You’ll learn how to enter programming mode, adjust upper and lower limits, and restore the shade to factory settings.
In this video we’ll go over programming your battery shade and common troubleshooting tips.
To adjust the upper limit, run the shade to its current upper limit. Hold the UP AND DOWN buttons simultaneously until the shade jogs one time. Using the UP or DOWN buttons,
move the shade to the desired limit. The shade should be moving incrementally. Once the shade is at the desired limit, hold the MY button until the shade jogs one time. Repeat this process for the lower limit.
To set a favorite or MY position, move the shade using the UP or DOWN buttons. Stop the shade with the MY button in the desired position. Press and hold the MY button until the shade jogs one time. You may now access the MY position by briefly pressing the my button when the shade is stationary. You can delete this MY position by moving to the MY position and holding the MY button until the shade jogs one time.
To copy programing to a new channel on an existing or new transmitter, select the current channel you wish to copy. Hold the PROGRAM button on the transmitter until the shade jogs one time. Then select the new channel you wish to copy to. Briefly press the transmitter PROGRAM button and the shade will jog one time.
To delete programing from a channel, select the channel you want to remain programmed. Press and hold the transmitters PROGRAM button until the shade jogs a one time. Then select the channel you want deleted. Briefly press the PROGRAM button and the shade will jog one time.
To delete all pair transmitters from a motor, press and hold the PROGRAM button on the motor head with a paperclip until the shade jogs two times. You will now need to re-pair a transmitter to operate the shade.
Battery shades are capable of deactivate mode and temporary sleep mode. These modes are useful when programing multiple shades to a single transmitter. Insolroll recommends the use of deactivate mode only. To deactivate the shade, press and hold the transmitters PROGRAM button until the shade jogs one time. Then press and hold the UP, MY AND DOWN buttons simultaneously until the shade jogs one time. To put the shade to sleep temporarily, press and hold the PROGRAM button on the motor head until the shade jogs one time. Briefly press the motor head PROGRAM button again and the shade will jog two times. The shade will now sleep for 15 minutes. To reactivate or wake up the shade before the 15 minute timeout, briefly press the motor head PROGRAM button and the shade will jog one time.
To factory reset the motor, press and hold the PROGRAM button on the motor head until the shade jogs up and down three times. All the motor settings are now erased. Then hold the UP AND DOWN buttons on the transmitter to re-pair the transmitter to the shade.
To modify the motor rotation after performing a factory reset, use the UP or DOWN buttons to move the shade away from its end limits. Then press and hold the MY button until the shade jogs one time. Using the UP or DOWN buttons, verify the motor rotation. You will now need to set your limits. To set limits during a factory reset, use the UP or DOWN buttons on the transmitter to position the shade at the desired upper limit. When the desired upper
limit position is reached, briefly press the MY AND DOWN buttons simultaneously to set the upper limit. The shade will begin to move down toward the lower limit. Use the MY button to stop the shade and use the UP or DOWN buttons to position the shade to its desired lower limit. Briefly press the UP AND MY buttons simultaneously on the transmitter to set the lower limit. Allow the shade to run up to the upper limit that was previously set. To confirm both limits, press and hold the MY button. The shade will briefly jog up and down one time. To finalize, briefly press the PROGRAM button on the back of the transmitter. The shade will jog up and down one time.
Insolroll does not recommend changing the speed of the motor. But if speed adjustment is necessary, start by using the UP or DOWN button on the transmitter to move the shade away
from the upper and lower limits. Use the MY button to stop the shade. Press and hold the UP, DOWN, and MY buttons on the transmitter simultaneously until the shade jogs up and down one time. The shade will begin to move up and down in ten second cycles. To increase the motor speed, press and hold the UP button until the shade jogs up and down one time. Repeat this step until the desired speed is reached. The maximum speed is reached
when the shade jogs three times. To decrease the motor speed, press and hold the DOWN button until the shade jogs up and down one time. Repeat this step until the desired speed is reached. The minimum speed is reached when the shade jogs three times. To confirm the new speed, press and hold the MY button on the transmitter until the shade jogs one time.
