11422 Limit Setting and Test Lead (was 0997)
If hard wiring is not already in place, a test lead allows you to set up, test and commission the product without the electrician being there to hard wire the product into the mains – as test leads are supplied with a 3 pin plug.
Test leads are also a useful tool if you need to reset the limits (stopping positions) and you are not using Silent Gliss radio controls. In most cases, limits are factory set, but the factory limits are set based on assumptions and tweaking may be needed on site.
Examples of where a test lead would avoid problems:
Roman: Factory limits are set, however these limits often need to be reset, as the blind is not attached when the head rail is made. The weight of fabric can affect the limits. If there is no hard wiring in place, you will need a test lead and 3 pin plug socket available to supply power to the headrail.
Electric track: The limits on electric tracks can usually be set using wireless controls or by using the buttons on the motor. If there is no hard wiring in place, you will need a test lead and 3 pin plug socket available to supply power to the headrail.
Roller: If the fabric is not in the correct position when the blind is mounted to the brackets, you will need to reset the limits. Operating the blind without reseting the limits could potentially causing damage to the fabric, if limit is set to high. If there is no hard wiring in place, you will need a test lead and 3 pin plug socket available to supply power to the headrail.
