Installation Instructions - Studio Star
Type R
Please
read these instructions entirely before attempting to
install your order!!!
Before
Installation
Unpack all shutters and accessories and inspect for
damage. Also check to ensure that all shutter
accessories have been sent that are needed for
installation; e.g. switches, screws, spacers. If any
parts are missing or any damage is found, please contact
Alutech United immediately.
Installation
These instructions are for Studio Star shutters type
R, which only includes shutters with an arched top. This
example of an installation pictures a shutter motorized
on the right side; however, the same applies to a motor
left shutter except the position of the "motor
side" guiderail and the "pulley side"
guiderail are opposite.
|
Step
1. Install L-angle sill onto wall of structure. The sill
will support the housing of the shutter; it must be
secured to the wall every 12" using stainless steel
#12 flat head sheet metal screws or a similar type
fastener.
Step
2. Locate the guiderails. NOTICE: Each of the two
guiderails are different from one another. Having a
single cord guide at the top of the guiderail (1) can
identify the guiderail that will be installed on the
pulley side of the shutter; the guiderail to be
installed on the motor side of the shutter does not have
a pulley installed in it.

Step
3. Remove the front housing cover and find the
"pulley" side of the shutter. Unravel the
tension cord that is supplied with the shutter. Now the
cord must be run through the double cord guide (2)
inside the endcap. Very important: The double cord guide
on the inside of the endcap has two grooves in it; the
tension cord MUST ride on the innermost (facing the
curtain of the shutter) groove (2)
Step
4. Fish the tension cord into the guiderail through the
1x1 square channel of the guiderail. At the top of the
guiderail, the tension cord must ride on the groove of
the cord guide. Run the tension cord over top of the
cord guide in the Guiderail (3) and let the end of the
tension cord hang out.

Step
5. Insert the guiderails onto the "ears"
of the endcaps on the appropriate sides. Attach
the guiderails and housing to the wall making sure
that the guiderails are plumb and level.
Additionally, check the width of the shutter from
the outside edges of the guiderails and compare
that to the width of the housing to ensure that
your shutter is square.
Step 6. The tension cord must now be threaded
though the cord guides in the arch as shown in
figure (4)

Step
7. Attach the arch to the wall using the supplied
spacers and fasteners. Note the typical placement
of these fasteners in figure (5). Attach the arch
to the guiderails using two1/4" hex head self
tapping screws on each side making sure that the
screws are placed so that they will not interfere
with the pulley or cord.
Step
8. Now the tension cord must be attached to the
base slat. Run the tension cord down to the base
slat from the center of the arch and insert into
the predrilled hole located in the center of the
base slat as shown in figure (6) Fish the tension
cord through the base slat and tie a secure double
knot on the end of the tension cord.
Step
9. Pull any slack in the cord up by carefully
rotating the pulley towards you. |

Step
10. All Studio Star shutters come pre-adjusted by a
factory technician; adjustment should only be made if
the preset limits or torque settings are not correct.
Before operating the shutter for the first time, make
sure that you remove all packing materials from inside
the housing. During the initial run you must also remove
any paper or foam that was installed inside the curtain
to prevent shipment damages. If necessary, attach a
tester cable to the motor and adjust the limit settings,
followed by the torque settings (refer to the Motor
Adjustment Instructions and Torque Setting Adjustment
instructions supplied by Alutech United).
Step
11. Re-attach the front housing cover to the shutter and
weatherproof the installation using caulk or sealant.
