FASTEN MOUNTING BRACKETS
A. Position the bracket’s “teeth” for each bracket at the ends of the fabric width as shown. Use a level to ensure the
brackets are at the same height and parallel to the window casing.
Note: Fasten the top of the brackets 5 in. (127 mm) from the top of the window trim to ensure complete window
exposure when the shades are in full up position.
B. Fasten the brackets to studs in the wall using no less than four(4) pan-head mounting bracket screws.
Note: All four (4) screws must be securely fastened to stud or other structural member.

Once the mounting brackets have been fastened to the wall, confirm the Bracket to Bracket Width
as listed on the Sivoia®Order Invoice. Refer to Figure 1 on page 3 for a detailed diagram. Make any
necessary bracket position adjustments based on this assessment.
Note: Only mount system where ambient temperature will be 0˚C - 50˚C (32˚F - 122˚F).

ATTACH MDU and IDLER SUPPORT
A. Attach the idler support to the mounting bracket using
three (3) truss-head screws.
B. Attach the MDU to the mounting bracket using three (3)
truss-head screws.
HANGING THE SHADE
A. Unwrap approximately 1 ft. (0.3 m) of material.
B. Attach the shade to the MDU first by engaging the roller’s hexagonal socket with the motor’s hexagonal drive ball. You
may need to rotate the roller in order to push the shade over the hexagonal drive ball.
C. Insert the idler pin into the upper slot of the idler support and drop it into place.

Do not connect if there is only one MDU in the system. If
there are multiple MDU's in the system, the MDU's must be wired
together. Connect the MUX, Drain, and MUX terminals of each MDU
together in a daisy chain or homerun configuration.
To a Sivoia®wall mounted keypad, or a Sivoia®interface such
as the SV-CCI-GRP or the SV-GRXI. The CNTRL1 and CNTRL2
wires are polarity sensitive.
MDU WIRING - SINGLE MOTOR
Connecting Wires to the MDU Terminal Block
The terminal block located at the bottom of the MDU is the wire
connection point for: power, communication, keypads, and interfaces.
A. Remove terminal block cover (if not yet removed) by pressing in on
the cover and then pulling downward.
B. Grasp terminal block and pull down to separate from connecting
block.
C. Connect wires to the terminal block according to the diagram
below.
D. Replace the terminal block and the terminal block cover.
Wire to a Sivoia®plug-in transformer, junction box mount
transformer, or a Sivoia®power panel. Each MDU must be EARTH
grounded. One Sivoia®transformer can power ONLY ONE MDU
regardless of shade size.

The Motor Drive Unit (MDU) should come from the factory with open and close limits. To change the factory limits,
follow the steps below. If there is only one MDU in the system, open and close limits are the only steps required.
Follow the programming steps outlined in the programming table below. If the system has multiple MDUs, follow the
single MDU setup directions for each MDU and then continue with the setup codes for multiple MDU systems on the
next page.
