Questions about document 3684280

The answers come from Lutron document 3684280 and New Way's record of it.

What is Lutron sheet 368-4280?

Lutron's sheet works in two steps: devices one output can feed by shade size, then wiring length by gauge. Lutron covers runs at 12 AWG (4.0 mm²), 16 AWG (1.5 mm²) and 18 AWG (1.0 mm²).

Which revision of 3684280 is current?

Rev D, dated September 2022, is the revision Lutron publishes. New Way checked it against assets.lutron.com on 16 October 2026.

Which roller shades does 3684280 cover?

Lutron Sivoia QS roller shades. For related steps Lutron refers readers to document 045717.

How far can a shade sit from a QS Smart Panel?

Lutron sheet 368-4280 allows 500 ft (152 m) at 12 AWG (4.0 mm²) for one shade or drapery drive plus up to 1 PDU.

  • 16 AWG (1.5 mm²): up to 200 ft (61 m)
  • 18 AWG (1.0 mm²): up to 125 ft (38 m)
  • Shared output, two roller 64 shades: 200 ft (61 m) at 12 AWG

How many shades can one power supply output feed?

Lutron sheet 368-4280 allows one shade or drapery drive plus up to one PDU per output on either supply.

  • Smart panel, roller 64: two of 30 sq ft (2.75 sq m) or less
  • Roller 64: three of 20 sq ft (1.8 sq m) or less
  • Roller 100: two of 50 sq ft (4.6 sq m) or less

Which Lutron cable carries power and communication together?

Lutron sheet 368-4280 lists QSH-CBL-L-500 at 12 AWG (4.0 mm²) and QSH-CBL-M-500 at 16 AWG (1.5 mm²), with plenum versions QSH-CBLP-L-500 and QSH-CBLP-M-500. GRX-CBL-346S-500 carries 18 AWG (1.0 mm²) conductors with no plenum option.

What is a PDU, and where is it specified?

Lutron's footnote spells PDU as Power Draw Unit, detailed in document 369405, the QS Link Power Draw Unit Specification Submittal. Each shade row allows up to 1 PDU; an output with no shades takes up to 8 PDUs.

What do the QSPS-xxPNL-NPM smart panels need before they can power shades?

Lutron's footnote states that -NPM panels are supplied with no power modules and need WIN-PS-5CC-R installed. Lutron refers the installer to Lutron document 045717 for the installation instructions.
