Step 2: Install onto your blinds

To ensure your Blind Tilt holds firmly on your blinds, use the wet wipe provided or neutral detergent to clean the headrail and the blind wand. Dirt or dust will affect adhesion and may cause dropping at a later time.

a. Use the measurement paper tape to determine an adapter for your blind wand

\bullet Wrap the measurement paper tape around your blind wand and tuck the narrower end of the paper tape into the gap on the other end. Slide the narrower end through the gap so the paper tape tightly fits the wand. Now check which size the marks on the paper tape indicate -S, M, L or XL.

\bullet Select the adapter of the right size according to the result above.

b. Install the mounting base and attach the adapter to your blind wand using the alignment card Please note: The alignment card provided is an essential tool to help determine the position of the mounting base and the adapter. Align the middle line on the alignment card with your blind wand. Then stick the two folded parts with adhesive to the bottom of the headrail.

The gap at the middle bottom of the alignment card corresponds to where the adapter should be on the wand. Peel off the inner liner of the adapter and wrap it around your blind wand. Hold and pinch it for around 30 seconds.

Position of the adapter

Select a mounting base that suits your blinds and stick it to the headrail where the alignment card indicates. We provide two types of mounting base. We recommend installing on the left using mounting base A in most cases.

Option 1: stick mounting base A on the left (recommended). Option 2: if there is a lift cord close to your blind wand on the left, select mounting base B and stick it in between. Remove after use Option 3: if there is not enough space on the left, stick mounting base A on the right. Remove after use

Option 4: if there is not enough space on the left and there is also a lift cord close to your blind wand on the right, select mounting base B and stick it in between.

Remove after use

c. Attach the coupling onto the adapter

Open the coupling and attach it onto the adapter, then pinch and fasten the spring buckle.

Twist the coupling against the wand and make sure there is no relative sliding between the coupling and the adapter. Note: If the coupling slides over the adapter when you twist it, use a double-tape or double-screw nut to ensure your blind wand again and replace with a more suitable adapter.

Mounting base on the left:

Pinch the spring tab on the cord holder and slide the cord holder upwards to fit into the mounting base.

\bullet Push the slide switch on the main unit upwards to open the case. Align the gears on the coupling and inside the main unit, then dose the main unit case. (Slide the cord holder up or down to adjust the position of main unit if you have difficulty aligning the gears.)

- Check if your blind wand is perpendicular to the ground. If not, pinch the spring tab to slide the cord up and down to adjust the wand's tilt angle. Finally, use the base cover to cover the mounting base.

Section 09

Mounting base on the right:

Remove the cord holder from the Type-C port (turn 90° upwards from the bottom to remove), then install it back on from the other side (turn 90° downwards from the top to install back on). Now the Type-C port should be facing right.

Pinch the spring tab to slide the cord holder from the bottom to fit into the mounting base.

\bullet Push the slide switch upwards to open the main unit case. Align the gears on the coupling and inside the main unit, then close the main unit case. (Slide the cord holder up or down to adjust the position of main unit if you have difficulty aligning the gears.)

e. Stick Solar Panel onto the window (optional)

Note: Solar Panel is optional since Blind Tilt is battery powered.

\bullet Stick Solar Panel onto the inner side of your window with its front facing outside. Select an appropriate position near the main unit so that the cord connecting Solar Panel will not be pulled when you open the window.

\bullet Pass the cable of Solar Panel through the gap between the headrail and the top slat, then connect the cable to the main unit.

Note: Make sure the cable of Solar Panel passes from the gap above the slab, otherwise your device may not work properly after installation.

- Organize the cord of Solar Panel so that it does not affect the movement of the slats. Then fix the cord at the bottom of the headrail using the adhesive sticker.

Step 3: Calibration

After you have added and installed your SwitchBot Blind Tilt, you will need to calibrate it to ensure it works correctly. Please follow the instructions in our app and make sure that the actual movement of your blind slats is the same as the animation in our app. Calibration is needed each time you remove and re-install the main unit. You can choose to recalibrate your Blind Tilt whenever you want on its Settings page.
