Excellent! Do I need to order those separately, or will they ship with the motor?

thanks!

I see.

It sounds like it won't work then...

Thanks for your help Adrian!

Hi Adrian,

Do your motors require 2 adapters (one at each end)? Or will 1 adapter at the open end suffice?

I just took the drive side of one of our shades apart and there are actually 3 nested adapters in there see photo. From left to right the outside diameter of the drive itself is 0.75", the next adapter adapts up to 1.12" O.D., the next one 1.5" O.D. and the final one 1.875" O.D.

thanks!

Bummer!

I notice that the Rollease roller mechanism we have has plastic sleeve adapters that are adapting it up to fit the inside diameter of our tubing which is 1 7/8". These sleeves are removable (they easily slide off the roller mechanism). Can we possibly use these same adapters to fit your motors?

thanks!

Hi Adrian,

The tubing we have on all 4 shades appears to be 2" O.D., and the roller mechanism does say "Rollease" on it. I have attached a couple of photos...

Many thanks for your help!

Greetings!

I'm in the hunt for some motors to automate the lifting of 4 existing (manual) roller shades in one room. I'm interested in self-contained battery powered units since I don't want to run wires. Per your instructions, I have worked out the approximate weight of my shades as 0.5kg, 1.36kg, 0.5kg, and 1.5kg. Some questions:

- Would your TMDG-12-16-03-50-RB motor be appropriate for all four of the shades? Will I need to measure the ID and OD of my existing roller shade tubes?

- I also want to order a wall mounted timer based remote control for these shades. Since all 4 shades will always be going up and down together, can I purchase your 1 Channel G Series timer controller MCGT-1W-RF, and have all 4 motors on the same channel?

- Do your motors come with the charging adapter or do I need to order that separately?

- How often will I be charging the motors based on opening and closing the shades 2x per day?

- How long does it take to fully charge each unit?

- How will I know that the motors are running low on battery? Is there a visual indicator of some kind?

Many thanks for your help with this project!
