Welcome & What This Covers
Thanks for choosing Rapid Glass ATX! This guide helps you get the most out of your Smart Film: how it works, daily use, cleaning, what to expect post-install, troubleshooting, FAQs, and warranty.
- Keep your film performing at its best and protect your warranty.
- Find instant answers with the Troubleshooting and Post-Purchase FAQs.
- Smart Film switches from opaque (OFF) to clear (ON) using low-voltage AC via a transformer.
- Typical usage is a few watts per square foot when ON.
- No moving parts, silent switching, instant privacy on demand.
How Smart Film Works
- PDLC Core: Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystal layer between conductive films.
- OFF (Opaque): LC droplets scatter light → frosted privacy.
- ON (Clear): Low-voltage AC (~60 VAC typical) aligns droplets → transparent.
- Controls: Remote, wall switch, or smart home (Alexa/Google/HomeKit/Lutron).
General Use Guidelines
- Do not leave film in the ON (clear) state for more than 36 consecutive hours.
- Use only Rapid Glass ATX-provided transformers and approved wiring.
- Place transformers where they have ventilation; keep them dry.
- Indoor applications only unless specifically rated for outdoor use.
- Do not cut, puncture, or peel film edges. Avoid pressure on wire connections.
- Sticker Policy: Do not remove or tamper with the Rapid Glass ATX authenticity/tamper sticker on your installation. Removal can damage the film and voids your warranty.
Cleaning Instructions
- Use distilled water or 99% isopropyl alcohol with a microfiber cloth.
- Avoid ammonia-based cleaners, abrasives, and paper towels.
- Do not spray liquid directly on connectors or wire termination points.
- Be gentle around edges and the authenticity/tamper sticker; do not scrub the sticker.
What to Expect After Installation
- Small bubbles are normal and should dissipate within 48 hours.
- Temporary haze or moisture while adhesive cures (typically 48–72 hours).
- A fine border at the film edge is normal.
Troubleshooting
- Confirm transformer indicator light is on; verify outlet or power strip.
- If using a smart plug (Alexa/Google/Lutron/HomeKit), ensure it’s ON in the app.
- Re-seat quick-connects/terminal clips between transformer and film.
- Check for tripped breaker or GFCI and reset.
- If no indicator light/output, the transformer may be faulty — contact support.
- Verify smart plug/switch is responsive; power-cycle if needed.
- Toggle mechanical wall switch fully OFF; if still clear, unplug transformer.
- Unplug control box for 1 minute to reset, then reconnect.
- Each transformer powers up to ~50 ft²; add another if exceeded.
- Inspect connectors at both the film and transformer ends.
- Turn all film OFF for one hour, then ON again.
- Ensure transformer has airflow and is not obstructed.
- Replace the CR2032 coin battery.
- Re-pair: press receiver “Learn,” then press ON on the remote.
- Ensure line of sight for IR models (RF models don’t require it).
- Adhesive may still be curing — allow 48–72 hours.
- Clean gently with microfiber + 99% isopropyl alcohol.
- If persistent edge lines remain, contact support.
- Possible voltage drop — long wire runs (>25 ft) or undersized transformer.
- Transformer heat — unplug for 1 hour; ensure ventilation.
- Disable any smart plug power-saving or auto-off routines.

Maintenance Tips
- Keep transformers dust-free, dry, and unobstructed (ventilated).
- Use a daily timer or routine to ensure regular OFF time.
- Avoid very long wire runs; consult us before adding panels.
- Do not cover power components with rugs, insulation, or furniture.
- Do not remove or replace the Rapid Glass ATX sticker. Contact support with any concerns.
Post-Purchase FAQs
Up to 36 consecutive hours. Use a smart plug or timer to guarantee daily OFF time.
Yes. Light bubbles/haze are common during curing and should fade within 48–72 hours.
Confirm transformer light, outlet power, smart plug is ON, and re-seat the film connectors.
Verify connectors on that panel and ensure each transformer isn’t powering over ~50 ft².
Turn film OFF for one hour; ensure driver has airflow; avoid extra-long wire runs.
Replace CR2032 battery and re-pair: press receiver “Learn,” then press ON on the remote.
Most drivers default OFF. Use a smart-plug routine if you want auto-restore.
Microfiber + distilled water or 99% isopropyl alcohol. No ammonia/abrasives. Keep liquid off connectors.
Avoid adhesives/suction on the film surface. Only use on frames or non-filmed glass.
A fine edge line is normal on Smart Film installs.
Do not cut or peel installed film. Contact support for adjustments.
Okay indoors with proper sealing; keep drivers/connectors dry and away from direct water jets.
Check for another control path left ON (smart plug/wall switch). Power-cycle the driver.
Keep drivers ventilated and dust-free; gentle wipes as needed; optional quarterly cleaning service.
No. Removing or tampering with the Rapid Glass ATX authenticity/tamper sticker can damage the film and void your warranty. Contact support before any changes.
Warranty & Support
- Coverage: Manufacturer defects and installation workmanship.
- Not Covered: Misuse, electrical surges, physical damage, non-approved cleaners, water ingress to connectors/drivers.
- Sticker Policy: Removing or tampering with the Rapid Glass ATX authenticity/tamper sticker can damage the film and voids your warranty.
- We follow up within a few days after install to make sure everything’s perfect.
