Installation walk-through for 045694
Lutron document 045694 gives 15 steps, in the document's order, after the tools and fixings it lists.
The clearance, the check and the warning under a step are the document's own.
Tools
- Flat-blade screwdriver
- Power tool with #2 Phillips driver bit
Fixings
- 2 EDU puck screws from the original tube, where present
- The puck screws self-drill into the EDU puck when refitted
- Rubber EDU puck (LMR-C-R kit): only for a tube without screw holes
Lay the shade out on a work surface
Take the shade down from its brackets and disconnect its wiring, as the chassis installation and setup guide 045657 describes. Lay it on a clean, level surface with room to unroll the fabric and draw the EDU out.
Check: Enough clear length to unroll the whole fabric
Warning: Two people carry out the steps on any shade wider than 48 in (1219 mm)
Unroll the fabric to bare the tube
Unroll the fabric from the shade tube, wrapping it loosely around the bottom bar, until the tube is exposed.
Check: Shade tube exposed
Take out any EDU puck screws
Skip to step 4 if the tube has no EDU puck screws.
Some tubes carry two EDU puck screws near the drive end. Remove both and keep them for the second section.
Clearance: EDU puck screws sit 16 in (406 mm) from the drive end
Check: Screws removed and kept, or none present
Pry the bearing sleeve off the tube
Push the flat-blade screwdriver tip into the joint between the shade tube and the EDU bearing sleeve. Twist and pry with care until the two separate.
Check: Bearing sleeve disengaged from the shade tube
Slide the EDU out
With the bearing sleeve free, slide the EDU all the way out of the old tube.
Check: EDU fully clear of the old tube
Set the EDU aside and clear the bench
Put the EDU aside for the new roller and move what is left of the old shade off the bench.
Check: Work area clear for the replacement roller
Lay out the replacement roller
Place the pre-assembled LMR-C-R replacement roller on the work surface.
Discard the empty bearing sleeve
Pull the empty bearing sleeve out of the drive end of the new tube and discard it. Leave the protective foam packing on the bottom bar for now.
Check: Drive end open; foam packing still on the bottom bar
Unroll the new fabric
Unroll the fabric from the new tube, wrapping it loosely around the bottom bar. Stop when the outer surface of the tube shows.
Check: Outer surface of the new tube exposed
Warning: Take care not to crease or soil the fabric
Check for screw holes, fit the rubber puck
Where screws came out at step 3, look for holes at the same distance from the new tube's drive end. With holes, keep the original EDU puck and go on.
With no holes, swap the existing puck for the rubber EDU puck from the kit. The figure labels read remove 2 screws, separate and discard, install the rubber puck.
Clearance: Screw holes in the new tube: 16 in (406 mm) from the drive end
Check: Screw holes found, or the rubber EDU puck fitted
Insert the EDU puck
Line up the grooves in the EDU puck with the splines inside the tube and push the puck in.
Check: Puck entered on the splines
Seat the bearing sleeve
Keep pushing the EDU in and line up the bearing sleeve grooves with the tube splines. Push until the sleeve sits square against the tube end.
Check: Bearing sleeve squarely seated against the end of the tube
Refit the puck screws (original puck only)
Skip to step 14 if the rubber puck went in at step 10.
Where the original puck stayed, drive the screws kept from step 3 back in with the power tool.
The screws self-drill into the puck; tighten until the heads are fully seated.
Check: Screw heads fully seated
Re-wrap the fabric and remove the packing
Reverse step 9 to roll all the fabric back onto the tube. Take the foam packing off the bottom bar; the converted shade is then ready to hang.
Check: Fabric straight and evenly wrapped; packing removed
Warning: Keep the fabric straight and evenly wrapped as it goes back on
Install the converted shade
Hang and reconnect the shade in its original brackets, following Sections 3 to 6 of guide 045657.
The EDU keeps its control assignments and limit settings. Lutron notes the limits may need adjusting after the fabric is re-wrapped.
Check: Limits verified, or adjusted where needed
