Lutron documents
Lutron's shading document set is the submittals, installation guides, drawings, brochures and notes that describe Lutron's motorized shading systems.
The library holds one page per document.
- Document types: CAD drawings, installation guides, specification submittals, Revit families, application notes, product brochures, performance specifications, wiring diagrams, Bluebeam tool set
- Families: Roller Shades, Drapery, Wood Blinds, Honeycomb Shades, Roman Shades, Horizontal Sheer Blinds
- Plus Tension Shades and Skylights; shared documents are listed under each family
- Pages run family, system, then drive class; each links to Lutron's PDF
- Systems: Sivoia QS (wired), Sivoia QS Wireless, Triathlon, Serena, Palladiom, Palladiom Wire-Free, Alena
Systems
Sivoia QS is the wired system and Sivoia QS Wireless adds an RF receiver to the same drives. Triathlon and Serena are the battery systems, Palladiom and Palladiom Wire-Free the exposed-bracket systems, and Alena the hospitality drapery track.
Power
Sivoia QS roller and drapery drives take Class 2, 35 V DC from plug-in, junction-box or panel supplies (085705, 086123). Lutron's Roller 150 (085267) and Roller 200CW (086107) state 24 V DC Class 2 power.
Writing it into a tender
Attach the system's specification submittal by number and revision, with the capacity submittal for a drapery drive. The contractor follows the chassis and mount installation guide; CAD drawings and Revit families carry the mounts into drawings.

Questions about Lutron
Eight questions specifiers ask about the Lutron shading document set, answered from the submittals named in each answer.
How is the Lutron library on newwaykl.com organized?
The library runs by product family, then system, then drive class; a shared document is listed under each family. Roller Shades holds the most documents and Horizontal Sheer Blinds the fewest.
Each page describes one Lutron document and links to its PDF on assets.lutron.com. Typing an exact document number into the search opens that document.
Which Lutron documents go into a tender submittal?
The system's specification submittal, named by number and revision: 085705 for Sivoia QS Roller 64, 086123 for Sivoia QS drapery. A drapery tender adds the drive's capacity submittal, 086119 for the D175, which carries the weights.

Each QSE-IO counts as one device, five zones and 3 power draw units; the link caps at 2000 ft (610 m).
How wide can a Lutron roller shade be?
