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 = 13.375" 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 AM25-1.2/30-ES Shade Motor is a Radio Frequency based 12VDC motor that is optionally powered with batteries and is designed to be used with roller shades. This A-OK motor is a simple, easy to use and easy to install solution for your shade motorization needs.

Special Features - The A-OK AM25 and AM28 shade motors are 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. The A-OK motor stores the limits set by the remote controls. 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). No need to hold the button down and wait for the shade to reach the desired position. The advanced RF control technology offers the user simple individual or group control as well as an Android/iOS mobile device interface. 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.

A typical A-OK AM25-1.2/30-ES motorized shade 30" W x 60" H on a 1.5" tube uses approximately 360ma of current at 12VDC.

* Our stated current draws are for use as estimates ONLY and are not specifications. A-OK states the nominal curent draw is 550ma (0.55A). Peak current draw and current draw on large shade loads will be higher. Current draw will depend on motor used, type of window treatment (roller shade, cellular, roman etc), size of tube, size and weight of the shade. To be certain of your needs you should test the current draw of your particular window treatment. We recommend budgeting a minimum of 1A per motor. Size your power supplies accordingly.
