FOR FURTHER INFORMATION MechoShade Systems, Inc. 42-03 35th St. Long Island City, NY 11101 Ph: 718-729-2020 Fx: 718-729-2941 web – www.mechoshade.com email – info@mechoshade.com INSTALLATION PROCEDURE: The Control4 (C4) 2-Zone Wireless Interface Module is designed to support the control of both drapery and rollershade products. Please find the instructions corresponding to the models to be controlled. WhisperTrac Draperies 1. Install the WhisperTrac Drapery per the manufacturer’s instructions. Configure and setup the WhisperTrac motor including the limits, speed of operation and any intermediate setpoints using standard WhisperTrac tools. Test and confirm that it operates properly. Refer to WhisperTrac Manual for proper procedures. 2. Disconnect power to the WhisperTrac Motor. 3. Attach an RJ45 patch cord cable (dongle) from any one of the two ports on the bottom of the WhisperTrac Motor to Port A on the Wireless Interface Module. NOTE: PORT A INCLUDES THE POWER CONNECTION FOR THE MODULE AND MUST ALWAYS HAVE A CONNECTION SUPPLIED TO IT WITH 9-30VDC FOR OPERATION. 4. If a second window covering will be controlled through this same Wireless Interface Module please repeat steps 1 to 3 for that window covering and connect the RJ45 dongle to Port B on the Interface Module If the installer and the programmer for this Module is one in the same, then we recommend proceeding with the commissioning of the Module before proceeding any further because of the convenience afforded by access to the Module prior to mounting. Otherwise proceed to Step 5. 5. If the Wireless Interface Module is attaching to the motor then slide the Module into the slot on the window side of the WhisperTrac Motor with the connectors pointing towards the ceiling. Permit the bracket to extend approximately 1” below the WhisperTrac Motor in order to optimize reception for the antenna. 6. If required to prevent the Wireless Interface Module from sliding off the WhisperTrac Motor then secure the module to the Motor housing by tightening the screw on the mounting flange nearest the Module’s connectors. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN 7. Route and secure the patch cords such that there is no interference between the cords and the operation of the drapery. 8. Re-connect the power supply cord to the WhisperTrac Motor and any other second window covering. 9. Test operation of the drapery using the pushbutton on the front of the Wireless Interface Module. A momentary button press on the pushbutton will toggle the position of both window coverings attached to the Interface Module. If a window covering is already in motion a button press will cause the window covering to stop. If no movement is observed then try pushing the button a second time momentarily in order to toggle the direction command of the Interface Module so that it is synchronized with the drapery position. 10. The WhisperTrak Motor and drapery is now ready for operation. Once the Module is commissioned it will be capable of being operated over the Control4 Network. Wall Mount for Rollershades and Drapery Applications For Mounting to drywall please follow steps 1 thru 5 above and then using a pair of cutters remove the Alignment Guides on the back of the unit. Install per the drawing below. Finally follow steps 9 and 10 to test the operation of the window covering by the Interface Module and ultimately through the Control4 Network. IS-MechoRF-Z1C4-07
