Lutron Sivoia QS Horizontal Sheer Blinds Installation Guide: 2″ Vanes (045450, rev A)

Installation walk-through for 045450

Lutron document 045450 gives twelve steps, in the document's order, after the tools and fixings it lists.

The clearance, the check and the warning under a step are the document's own.

1. Plan the top back cover

   Hold the cover up centered on the window and pencil the screw positions. Place a screw pair 2 to 5 in (51 to 127 mm) in from each end, into wall studs or solid trim.

   Blinds over 48 in (1219 mm) take two more pairs at roughly equal spacing.

   Clearance: 2 to 5 in (51 to 127 mm) from each end

   Check: The cover will sit level, centered on and parallel to the opening

2. Pre-drill and mount the cover

   Drill the cover at the marks and fasten it. An inside mount centers the cover in the opening.

   On trim, set the cover's top edge at the point the window height was measured from.

   Warning: An above-trim mount needs spacer blocks (not included) so the blind clears the trim

3. Fit the RF receiver (optional)

   Mount the receiver per its own instructions, clear of the blind. Clip the antenna to hang below the bottom edge of the top back cover.

4. Fit the end brackets

   Face the control buttons down and route the cables up through the notch. Push the drive end into the bracket's square receiver and tighten the bracket screw.

   Fit the other end bracket, then loosen both front-hook retaining screws.

   Check: Control buttons face downward

5. Hang the blind

   Hook the end brackets onto the top back cover. Center the blind on the window and tighten the retaining screw on each front hook.

6. Wire the blind

   Strip 2 in (51 mm) of jacket and 1/4 in (6 mm) per wire and land the wires on the 4-pin terminal block. Connect the blind EDU connector and any RF receiver connector.

   Clearance: 1/16 in (2 mm) of bare conductor at the terminal

   Check: Cables are secured clear of moving parts

   Warning: Shock hazard: lock the supply breaker off or remove the fuse first

7. Check and set the limits

   Check the factory limits straight after installation. To reset one, tap its limit button and drive the blind with the arrows.

   For the lower limit, run down to the fully open View position. Hold the limit button until the green LED flashes; setting the lower limit also teaches the drive the Privacy position.

   Check: Fully raised and fully lowered positions match the opening

   Warning: If the bottom bar meets the sill before the vanes open fully, raise the bracket and reset the lower limit

8. Adjust the Privacy position (optional)

   Tap the arrows to the wanted Privacy position. Hold Lower Limit until the green LED flashes.

   Hold it a second time until the LED flashes for about 10 seconds and goes out.

9. Level and align (optional)

   Raise the blind fully for access, then turn each bracket's vertical screw counterclockwise to raise or clockwise to lower. Match adjacent blinds so their vanes line up.

   Clearance: ±1/4 in (6 mm) per bracket

10. Fit the fascia (optional)

    Press an end cap onto each end of the fascia, tabs in its channels. Hang the fascia on the end brackets' top front hooks and press its lower half onto the bottom hooks.

    Warning: On inside mounts the drive-side end cap may need notching for the wiring

11. Assign wireless controls

    On each blind, hold Upper Limit until the green LED stays on and tap the button on the drive. Then hold the control's Bottom button for 6 seconds until the blinds wiggle once.

    Check: Each blind wiggles once

12. Assign wired and IR controls

    Hold Open and Close for 5 seconds to enter programming mode. Tap Open to pick a blind and Lower to assign it.

    Hold Open and Close for 5 seconds again to exit.

    Check: The assigned blind moves to its lower limit
