    About Triathlon

    Lutron's Triathlon wood blind is a battery or 12 V wired basswood blind. The headrail drive tilts the slats; lift is cordless and manual.

    • Shared chassis submittal 085665 with Serena: same sizes, ratings and batteries
    • Systems: Caséta PRO, RA2 Select, RadioRA 3, HomeWorks with QSX processors
    • Natural Light Optimization in Lutron systems (085665)
    • Tilt at 44 dBA or less at 3 ft (1 m) from the drive
    • 6 to 12 V DC, Class 2, 5 W (085665)

    Sizes and stack

    The guide below prints the width, height, batteries and returns from submittal 085665; the radio is Clear Connect Type A, 30 ft (9 m). Stack guide 3682573 estimates the raised blind at 3 7/8 in (99 mm) to 8 1/4 in (210 mm) and rules out pockets.
