The Silent Gliss 5200 single track (above left) has a smooth, silent, non stretch belt drive operation contained
within the metal tracks, and roller glides for medium to heavy weight curtains, weighing up to 36kg in total. The tracks
can be wall or ceiling fixed, and can be bent to match bay window profiles.
The 5200 differs from the 5400 by a having different motor with an external transformer (cf the transfomer on the 5400 is built into the motor housing). This means
that you can simply plug it into a 13A socket and mount the transformer behind the curtain on the wall. Alternatively you can have a centrally
located transformer powering a number of tracks, using low voltage cable to each track.
Wave heading
At no extra cost the Silent Gliss 5200 can be ordered with the new Wave heading system allowing the curtain to hang in a smooth, simple and continuous ‘wave’
effect. As an alternative to traditional pinch, pencil pleat or goblet style headings, Wave ™ offers a more contemporary curtain presentation
with the economy of standard ruffling tape.
When completely closed or part open, the curtains offer a smooth, continuous wave effect. The Wave ™ heading stacks back neatly, taking up less
space than most traditional pleated headings.
NB. If you select the WAVE heading system please note that you will need to have your curtains made up with the appropriate WAVE heading
tape and ideally iron-on hemming tape to ensure that curtains follow the Wave pattern when folding. Usually your
professional curtain maker will use these in place of the normal pencil pleat heading tape. If they do not have these, or if you want to do it yourself,
we can supply both the WAVE curtain heading tape (part no.6349) and the iron-on hemming tape (part no.6363) by the metre - see compatible
products listed below. These will be supplied from ourselves separately to the track which comes direct from Silent Gliss.

Sophisticated motor technology
Two new motor options are offered on the Silent Gliss 5200 to suit curtains up to 36kg and tracks up to 10m, see chart. Note the maximum weight drops with increased
track length and when you use Wave headed curtains, when the maximum is limited by the heading tape and special wave gliders to 5kg per metre of track.
The standard motor is the 9040, with an option of the 9041 motor with integrated RF receiver for use with the Silent Gliss RF (Radio Frequency)
remote control or wall switch.
The soft start/soft stop function and an automatic obstacle detection are just two features of these motors to improve the
convenience of the 5200 track in daily use. Operation can by by mains switch or with the Silent Gliss 0450
Radio Control system. The latter making installation very straightforward.
On the 5200 the motor remains hidden by the curtains or can be recessed in the ceiling cavity. The transformer is
hidden behind the curtains as with the Autoglide.
Control options
The standard 9040 motor track comes with a wall mounted switch to be located usually behind the curtain. The 9041 version with built-in
RF receiver allows you to have the choice of remote control in a handset or as a surface mounted RF switch that requires no direct connection to the motor.
In situations where you have mulitple tracks we can supply a multi-channel remote to permit ease of use.
If you require the facility of timed opening and closing you can add the Silent Gliss 0900 timer that features on the Silent Gliss Autoglide
AutoRemote track.
Maximum curtain weights
NB. tracks with WAVE headed curtains are additionally restricted to 2.5kg per metre of track, ie 2m track maximum curtain weight would be 5kg, 4m track
10.0kg, 5m track 12.5kg and so on.
