Silent Gliss 7650 - 50mm Electric Curtain Pole - Timer Operation

The Silent Gliss 7650 Timer electric curtain pole combines automatic curtain operation with the clean, architectural appearance of a substantial 50mm decorative pole.

Unlike a conventional electric curtain track, which is generally designed to remain discreet, the Silent Gliss 7650 is intended to become part of the overall window design. The motorised components are concealed within the 50mm Metropole profile, giving you the convenience of electrically operated curtains while retaining the appearance of a decorative curtain pole.

Rather than using traditional curtain rings, the curtains run from carriers within a channel along the underside of the pole. This allows them to move smoothly along the system while maintaining the distinctive appearance of the 7650.

Each system is supplied made to measure for your window and is available in a choice of finishes, with coordinating endcaps and decorative finial options available to complete the look.

Set your curtains to open and close automatically

The defining feature of this version of the Silent Gliss 7650 is its programmable timer operation.

Instead of relying on a handheld remote or wall switch, the timer can be programmed so that your curtains open and close automatically at your chosen times.

This can be particularly useful as part of your normal daily routine. For example, the curtains can be set to operate automatically rather than needing to be opened and closed by hand each day.

Timer operation can also provide an additional home-security benefit when you are away, as opening and closing the curtains automatically can help give the appearance that the property is occupied.

Proven Silent Gliss motorised technology

The electric mechanism concealed inside the 7650 uses the proven technology from the Silent Gliss SG 5100 Autoglide system.

An internal belt-drive mechanism connects the motor to the curtain carriers, keeping the working components neatly concealed within the decorative pole profile.

The system is supplied with the transformer and plug required for connection to a standard electrical socket, so permanent hard wiring is not required for this configuration.

The result is an electric curtain pole that provides automatic operation without losing the decorative character of a traditional curtain pole.

Touch & Go operation

Although this version is designed around timer control, you are not restricted to waiting for the next programmed opening or closing time.

The Silent Gliss 7650 includes Touch & Go operation. A gentle pull on the curtain fabric activates the motor, which then takes over and moves the curtains along the pole.

This gives you a simple way to operate the curtains when required outside their programmed timer schedule.

Manual override

The Silent Gliss 7650 also includes a manual override, allowing the curtains to be moved by hand when required.

This is particularly useful in the event of a power failure, as you can still draw the curtains manually even when the motorised operation is unavailable.

Together with the timer and Touch & Go function, this gives you several practical ways to manage the curtains while keeping the main operation automatic.

Suitable for larger straight windows

The Silent Gliss 7650 Timer Model can be manufactured up to 6 metres in length, making it suitable for substantial straight window installations as well as more standard-sized windows.

Curtain weight should always be considered alongside the overall length of an electric curtain system.

When used with standard rollers, the 7650 is suitable for curtains weighing up to:

• 20kg at 3 metres
• 25kg at 6 metres

If your curtains are particularly heavy or heavily interlined, please contact our team before ordering. We can check the curtain weight, overall system length and installation requirements to make sure the 7650 is appropriate for your window.

Wall or ceiling fixing

The Silent Gliss 7650 can be installed to either the wall or ceiling, providing flexibility when planning how the pole will sit around your window.

Wall fixing allows the pole to project away from the window, while ceiling fixing can provide a particularly clean appearance or offer a practical option where there is limited suitable fixing space above the window.

Different Silent Gliss fixing options are available depending on the required position and projection of the pole.

Designed for straight windows

The Silent Gliss 7650 is a straight-only electric curtain pole and cannot be bent or shaped.

It is therefore not suitable for bay windows, curved windows or installations requiring corners or bends.

If you have a bay or shaped window, please contact our team before ordering. We can discuss your window dimensions and curtain requirements and help you identify a more appropriate electric curtain solution.

A decorative alternative to an electric curtain track

One of the main reasons to choose the Silent Gliss 7650 is its appearance.

Where a conventional electric curtain track is usually designed to blend into the background, the 7650 combines motorised operation with a substantial 50mm Metropole profile designed to be seen.

This makes it particularly suitable for interiors where the curtain hardware is an intentional part of the overall scheme and you want the pole to coordinate with other finishes within the room.

A Flush 50mm endcap provides a simple contemporary finish, while alternative endcaps and decorative finials are available if you would prefer to make more of a feature of the pole.

The result is a made-to-measure electric curtain pole that combines automatic timer-controlled operation with a decorative finish designed to complement the room around it.

FAQs

How does the Silent Gliss 7650 Timer Model work?

The timer can be programmed with pre-set opening and closing times, allowing your curtains to operate automatically without you having to open or close them each day.

Once programmed, the motorised 7650 moves the curtains according to the timer settings.

What is the difference between the Silent Gliss 7650 Basic, Radio Remote and Timer models?

All three use the same 50mm Silent Gliss 7650 decorative electric curtain pole. The main difference is how the curtains are controlled.

The Basic Model is designed for straightforward wall-switch operation.

The Radio Remote Model adds the convenience of a handheld radio remote control.

The Timer Model is designed for automatic operation at programmed opening and closing times.

Choosing between them therefore comes down largely to how you would like to operate your curtains.

Can the timer help with home security?

It can be a useful additional feature when you are away from home.

By programming your curtains to open and close automatically, you can help create the impression that someone is at home rather than leaving the curtains in the same position throughout your absence.

It should, of course, be considered an additional convenience rather than a replacement for appropriate home-security measures.

Can I operate the curtains outside the programmed timer times?

Yes. The Silent Gliss 7650 includes Touch & Go operation.

Giving the curtain fabric a gentle pull activates the motor, allowing you to operate the curtains when required rather than waiting for the next programmed timer movement.

What is Touch & Go operation?

Touch & Go means that a gentle pull on the curtain fabric activates the electric motor.

The motor then takes over and moves the curtains along the pole, providing a simple alternative way to operate the system.

Can I still move the curtains manually?

Yes. The Silent Gliss 7650 includes manual override, allowing you to draw the curtains by hand when required.

This also means the curtains can still be operated manually in the event of a power failure.

Does the Silent Gliss 7650 need to be hard wired?

No. This configuration is supplied with the transformer and plug required for connection to a standard electrical socket, so permanent hard wiring is not required.

You will need a suitable mains socket positioned within reach of the system's power supply.

Is the Silent Gliss 7650 suitable for bay windows?

No. The Silent Gliss 7650 is a straight-only electric curtain pole and cannot be bent or shaped for bay or curved windows.

If your window requires bends, please contact our team and we can help you identify a more suitable motorised curtain system.

How much curtain weight can the Silent Gliss 7650 carry?

When used with standard rollers, the Silent Gliss 7650 is suitable for curtains weighing up to:

• 20kg at 3 metres
• 25kg at 6 metres

Curtain weight and system length should always be considered together.

If your curtains are particularly heavy or heavily interlined, please contact us before ordering so that we can check the suitability of the system for your installation.

Can the Silent Gliss 7650 be ceiling fixed?

Yes. The Silent Gliss 7650 can be either wall or ceiling fixed, allowing you to choose the installation method that best suits your window and room.

Different fixing options are available depending on the required position and projection of the pole.

Can the Silent Gliss 7650 be used with Wave curtains?

If you are interested in using Wave curtains with the Silent Gliss 7650, please contact our team before ordering.

We can talk you through the available options and make sure your system is specified correctly for your curtains.

Does the Silent Gliss 7650 replace the Silent Gliss 6150?

Yes. The Silent Gliss 7650 range replaces the previous Silent Gliss 6150 range.

If you are replacing an existing SG 6150 or are unsure which current 7650 control option is right for you, please contact our team and we can help you select the appropriate system.
