Increasingly, window-treatment manufacturers are coming to appreciate the advantages in offering motorized amenities for their products. The motor can be wired in parallel, has built-in thermal overload protection, and can be programmed to operate from momentary or maintained switching. An optional plug-in module for remote control is available. To bring motorized window treatments into the home automation mainstream, major manufacturers are offering an ever-expanding range of control options. BTX offers three position switches for momentary operation or continual maintained operation.
Switch configurations are available in single, multiple, decorative, and key switch options.
Switches may be joined with group controls for multiple shade operation. All switches have a 15A rating and are available in maintained or momentary contact on all wall switches. BTX's IR receivers can control individual motors or can be combined with group controllers for multishade operation. The 12-channel transmitter offers individual control of each channel, subgroup, and master control as standard features. The IR system can be combined with wall switches or integrated with home automation systems.
