Lutron Palladiom Roller Shades Installation Guide: Wired Shading System, Planning & Template (045658, rev A)

Installation walk-through for 045658

Lutron document 045658 gives 13 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. Position the template and mark the wire housing

   Early in construction, set the template at the window opening; the guide shows the wall mount version. Use its gauges to find the wire housing location and mark it.

   Check: Wire housing location marked for drilling

2. Drill for the wire housing

   Drill at the marked location for the wire housing, with the 3/4 in (19 mm) Forstner bit Lutron recommends.

   Clearance: Wire housing 3/4 in (19 mm) x 3 in (76 mm)

3. Fit the wire housing and pull the cable

   Install the wire housing and pull the power or QS Link cable through it, ready for the bracket later.

   Check: Cable pulled through the installed housing

4. Mark the bracket screws on the finished wall

   When the wall is finished, put the template back in place and mark the bracket mounting screw locations.

   Clearance: Pilot holes 1/8 in (3 mm) for the #10 mounting screws provided with the shade

   Check: Screw locations marked

5. Mount the bracket over the housing

   As the bracket goes on, the shade wire harness runs through it and joins the power or QS Link cable. The joined cables are pushed into the wire housing so the bracket hides all of the wiring.

   Check: No wiring visible around the bracket

6. Wall mount: set left and right position

   Hold the template against the mounting surface. To place the bracket from a chosen fabric edge, line up the fabric edge locator A.

   To find the fabric edge from a chosen bracket position, line up the bracket footprint B. Either way, set the jamb offset with gauge C and tighten thumbscrews D.

   Check: Jamb offset thumbscrews D tight

7. Wall mount: set the bracket height

   Keeping the template in place, set the bracket footprint B at the height wanted on the wall. Bring the height gauge E round until its stops F rest on the window opening top, then tighten thumbscrews G.

   Check: Stops F on the top of the window opening; thumbscrews G tight

8. Preset the gauges and check the tape measure

   To work from set measurements, preset the gauges with the tape measure anchoring slot. The slot sits at the bracket center, H on the wall mount template.

   Check the tape against the notches at the template edge, exactly 10 in (254 mm) apart edge to edge. The ceiling and jamb templates carry the same anchor and notches.

   Clearance: 10 in (254 mm) between matching notch edges

   Check: Tape reads 10 in (254 mm) across the notches

9. Ceiling mount: set left and right position

   Hold the ceiling mount template against the mounting surface.

   Line up the fabric edge locator A when the fabric edge is fixed. Line up the bracket footprint B instead when the bracket position is fixed.

10. Ceiling mount: set the wall distance

    With the template still in place, set the bracket footprint B at the distance wanted from the wall. Set that distance on the bracket/wall gauge C and tighten thumbscrews D.

    Check: Thumbscrews D tight

11. Jamb mount: set the bracket height

    Hold the jamb mount template against the mounting surface. Use the bracket height gauge B to set the distance to the window opening top, then tighten thumbscrews C.

    Check: Thumbscrews C tight

12. Jamb mount: set the bracket depth

    With the template against the surface, use the window distance gauge D to set the distance to the glass. Tighten thumbscrews E.

    Check: Thumbscrews E tight

13. Jamb mount: transfer to the opposite jamb

    Carry the same height and depth settings across to the opposite jamb so both brackets match.

    Check: Both jambs marked from the same settings
