Information and Tips
Recommended Tip to Tip Deduction = 7/8"
- Using Included Motor, Brackets, and End Plug
Tip to Tip is defined as the space that entire assembly (tubes, brackets, drives, idler etc.) needs to fit. This type of measurement is most often used for shades mounted within framed constraints.
Minimum Shade Width = 19 1/2" Tip to Tip
- Using Included Motor, Brackets, and End Plug
Maximum Shade Width = App. 96" Tip to Tip
- Maximum Width limitation is due to tube deflection not lifting capacity.
The use of the internal hem bar requires a material formed pocket at the bottom of the shade. The hem bar pocket is typically formed by stitching or fusing the material. Alternative methods like double stick tape and adhesives can be used with some experimentation.
The motor and end plug slide into the tube without the use of tools. The included roller shade tube features double stick tape to securely attach your roller shade material. We recommend cutting the shade material height so a minimum of 1.5" extra wraps of material is left on the shade tube when the shade is fully down. This prevents the material from directly pulling on the tape.
* Projection Distance is the distance from the mounting surface to the center of the tube. You would need to shim the brackets or use larger projection brackets if half the roll diameter is larger than the projection distance of the brackets. If you do not know what your roll diameter is you can calculate the roll diameter using the shade calculator below.
Actual shade size, tube size and material should be used to determine the true limits of a system. The Shade Fabricator Calculator below will predict tube deflection (and more) based on tube size, material weight, width and height. Tube deflection is bending of the tube and causes ripples in the hanging shade material.

About the Motor
The A-OK AM25-1/25-ES-E shade motor features a long life built-in lithium-ion battery. Say good bye to expensive external batteries. Lithium-ion battery technology is mature and has moved into motorized shades. This is now the default option for retrofit installations where wiring to a power source is not possible. The built-in lithium battery is expected to provide approximately 100 cycles of operation (depends on shade size) before needing a charge. That means you'll only need to plug in the optional external battery charger 3 or 4 times a year.
Special Features - Radio Frequency based so you don't have to point the remote at it every time you want to control it. In fact, you can control the shades in your living room from your bedroom completely wirelessly. With the momentary press of a button, you can command the shade to go to the Full up or Full Down position. Need more programmable stopping positions, not a problem, the A-OK motors can be programmed for up 6 stopping positions (4 intermediate). The advanced RF control technology offers the user individual or group control. Each motor can be controlled by more than one remote control so you can have dedicated room controls and master controls for the whole home.
Note: The remote controls do not have individual buttons to command control of the intermediate positions. When you press the up or down button the shade will move to the next programmed stopping point. You can command the shade to bypass the intermediate stopping points by double pressing the Up or Down buttons with a 1 second pause between presses.
