For two shades together, Lutron document 085544 shows two supplies, each with its drive, joined by the 3-conductor communication link.

What circuit does the supply need?

Lutron document 085544 gives an input of 120 V~ to 277 V~, 50/60 Hz, 1.0 A on 18 AWG leads. Up to 20 supplies may share a standard 20 A circuit, connected by a qualified electrician.

How far can the shade be from the supply?

Lutron document 085544 allows 250 ft (75 m) on 12 AWG between the supply and one drive plus one power draw unit.

  • 16 AWG: 100 ft (30 m)
  • 18 AWG: 50 ft (15 m)
  • Total QS link wiring under 2000 ft (610 m)

What wire size and torque do the output terminals take?

Lutron document 085544 gives 22 AWG to 12 AWG (0.5 mm² to 4.0 mm²) single wire, solid or stranded.

  • Screw torque: 4.4 in-lbs (0.5 N·m)
  • Insulation stripped: 0.25 in (6 mm)
  • Blocks: one 4-position (shade), two 3-position (link), all removable
