![]() ![]() ![]() For large areas of glass where the shade will exceed this weight, an AC motor will have to be used or the shade split into 2 or 3 sections to reduce the weight so DC motors can be used. DC wiring has fewer regulations than AC and can be done by the homeowner in many States. Many low voltage motors are capable of lifting shades up to 17+ pounds and traversing drapery up to 130+ pounds depending on the manufacturer of the motor. Many window coverings can be powered by low voltage (12 or 24V DC). Recessed drapery pocket for home theater drapery The motors in the example below are controlled with an RF hand held remote controller or a Wireless RF Wall Switch such as a Somfy DecoFlex. "Structured Wiring" for most motorized window covering systems is accomplished by "Home Running" wire from each window to a central location where the power will be distributed (Power Panel) to each of the window covering motors as outlined by the illustration below using a Somfy ST30 Sonesse RTS (Radio Frequency Motors). Fishing wire through foam insulation is very difficult if not impossible. ![]() Many builders are now using the spray foam insulation instead of the fiberglass batting. Pre-Wiring for low voltage (12 or 24 Volt DC) and line voltage (110 Volt AC) motorized window treatments is an important process in the planning stage of a new building project and must be considered before the walls are closed.
