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).
