Can Old Curtain Tracks Be Used with Terra Curtain Motor?

For best performance and long-term reliability, old curtain tracks should NOT be used with Terra Curtain Motor. Manual tracks are not designed to handle continuous automated movement or high motor load. Using old tracks may cause jerky motion, excess noise, or damage to the motor over time.

To ensure smooth and silent operation, Terra Curtain Motor is always installed with a new motor-ready electric curtain track designed specifically for automation.

Why New Tracks Are Important with Terra Curtain Motor:

• Built for motorised operation

• Supports heavy curtain loads

• Ensures vibration-free and silent movement

• Protects the motor from overload

• Improves safety and system life

Step-by-Step Process to Upgrade with Terra Curtain Motor

1. Remove the Old Manual Track System

The existing manual track and pulley mechanism are removed completely to prepare for the new automated setup.

2. Install New Motor-Ready Electric Track

A specially designed electric curtain track is installed to support the Terra Smart Curtain Motor.

3. Select the Right Terra Smart Curtain Motor

The motor is chosen based on:

• Curtain weight and length

• Single or double curtain setup

• WiFi, remote, and voice control features

• Noise level and automation needs

Common options include Terra WiFi Curtain Motor and automatic curtain opener systems.

4. Mount the Terra Curtain Motor

The motor is fixed securely to the new electric track. Curtain runners are attached to ensure smooth sliding.

5. Power Connection

Terra motors work on standard AC power. Some models also support rechargeable battery operation.

6. App & Voice Automation Setup

After installation:

• Connect the Terra Smart Curtain Motor to the mobile app

• Pair it with Alexa or Google Assistant
