Lutron's one-page wiring chart for Sivoia QS wireless shades and draperies: shades per output and cable run by wire gauge.

About this Sivoia QS guide

Lutron's QS Wireless Power Supply Wiring Guideline is the chart for the QSPSY-Px-10-60 panel and the QSPS-Px-1-50 and QSPS-J-1-50 individual supplies: devices per output by shade size, then distance per output by wire gauge.

What this Sivoia QS guide covers

This Sivoia QS guide has these four sections, all on its one page.

  1. How to use the chart
  2. Panel: devices and distance per output
  3. Individual supply: devices and distance per output
  4. Wire gauge and Lutron cable options
