Mode 5100 Vertical Blind Information

It is very important that the standard punch in the top of the vane fit the carrier properly. Vertical vane fabricators use a variety of punches, so contact SM Automatic for compatible vane information. Vanes are not included with the system.

When using free hanging fabric vanes, a plastic insert is available to fit into the vane header and accept the carrier hook.

Please call for compatibility of COM vane type. Flat or simple curved vanes are compatible, however, “S” shaped or angled vanes are not.

Valance clips are not applicable to the Model 5100 track.

Curved and sloped systems are not available.

To calculate the number of vanes you will need, follow these formulas:

3.5” vane: track size divided by 3.0”
5” vane: track size divided by 4.5”

If the track is center opening, always order an even number of vanes.

Deduct 2.5” (not including floor clearance) for vane length.

Overall projection from the back of the motor (rear mount) to the edge of the (3.5”) vanes is 5.5”, when the vanes are in an open-tilt position.
