    About Serena

    Lutron's Serena roller shades are battery-powered or 12 V wired roller shades. A Pico, the 4-Group RF remote or Caséta controls them wirelessly.

    • Submittal 085312: Serena and Triathlon share sizes and mounting rules
    • Controls: Pico, 4-Group RF remote, Caséta Smart Bridge or Smart Bridge Pro
    • Drive: 6 V to 12 V DC at 5 W
    • Torque 2.0 in-lb; speed 3.6 in/sec; stops at 0.125 in (3 mm) intervals
    • ClearConnect RF within 30 ft (9 m); indoors at 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C)

    Sizes and noise

    The guide below prints each model's widths, battery counts, supply ratings and mounting depths from its submittal. Sell sheet 3687002 gives the open roll shade seven bracket finishes and one bracket for inside, outside or above-trim mounting.

    Battery and wired power

    Submittal 085312 runs the battery shade on six D cells up to 25 15/16 in (659 mm) wide and eight from 26 in (660 mm). Where a building has 20 or more Radio Powr Savr sensors, Lutron recommends wired power.

    Writing it into a tender

    A specifier attaches submittal 085312 (or 085835 for open roll), the control submittal and, for wired shades, 085283 or 085276. The contractor follows guides 045506 (Serena), 045956 (battery), 045959 (wired), 045964 (cordless manual) and 045993 (open roll).

    Which Serena product to specify

    Eight options, each with the case it suits and the limits Lutron prints for it. The source link opens the document that states them.

    How wide can a Serena roller shade be?

    Up to 108 in (2743 mm) for battery-powered and wired shades, from 19.5 in (495 mm), depending on configuration, per submittal 085312.

    What is the difference between Serena and Triathlon roller shades?

    Lutron prints both on submittal 085312 with one set of sizes and mounting rules, splitting only the compatible controls.

    • Serena: Pico, 4-Group RF remote, Caséta Smart Bridge or Smart Bridge Pro
    • Triathlon adds: seeTouch RF keypads, GRAFIK Eye QS, RadioRA 3, RadioRA 2, RA2 Select, HomeWorks QSX, HomeWorks QS

    The open roll shade (085835) takes five 1.5 V D-cells, rated two years typical; neither shade includes batteries.
