How to Reset Electric Blinds

Electric blinds are a convenient and smart way to control the light and privacy in your home. They can be operated with a remote, a smartphone app, or even voice commands. But what if your electric blinds stop working or get stuck in an unwanted position?

Don’t panic, there’s a simple solution. You can reset your electric blinds and restore them to their normal function. Resetting electric blinds means deleting all the settings and programming new ones. This can help you fix any issues with the motor, the remote, or the limits of the blinds.

To reset electric blinds, you can use the motor reset button, the manual override button, or the remote control. Depending on the type and brand of your electric blinds, the reset procedure may vary slightly.

Use the Motor Reset Button

One way to reset electric blinds is to use the motor reset button located on the motor head. This is usually a small pinhole that you can press with a paperclip or a needle.

To use this method, follow these steps:

• Locate the motor reset button on the motor head. You may need to remove the cover or valance to access it.
• PRESS & HOLD the button until the blind jogs three times (approx. 10 secs) – all settings are deleted and the motor has been reset.
• Release the button and wait for a few seconds.
• Press and release the button again to confirm the reset. The blind should jog once.
• You can now program new settings for your electric blind.

Use the Manual Override Button

Another way to reset electric blinds is to use the manual override button on the motorized unit. This is usually a small button that you can press with your finger.

To use this method, follow these steps:

• Manually open your window. If your window has any other products installed, such as blinds, make sure these are also open.
• Once your window is open, press and hold the manual override button for at least five seconds. This will cause your window and other installed products to start moving, letting you know that the reset has worked.
• Release the button and wait for a few seconds.
• Press and release the button again to confirm the reset. The blind should jog once.
• You can now program new settings for your electric blind.

Use the Remote Control

A third way to reset electric blinds is to use the remote control that came with your blinds. This is usually a handheld device that has buttons for up, down, stop, and program.

To use this method, follow these steps:

• Press and hold the ‘Stop’ button on the remote for five seconds, until the motor shunts once.
• Press and hold the ‘Prog’ button on the reverse of the remote for seven seconds, within 10 seconds of pressing the ‘Stop’ button. The motor will shunt once.
• Release both buttons and wait for a few seconds.
• Press and release the ‘Prog’ button again to confirm the reset. The blind should jog once.
• You can now program new settings for your electric blind.
