Long-life Battery Operation
Power is supplied to the QMT® shade motor via 8 D cell batteries2(not supplied). The batteries
are stored in an external battery compartment that is mounted in the fascia of QMT3 Series
Architectural shade hardware. When mounting with QMT3 Series Décor shade hardware, the
battery compartment can be hidden behind the roller shade fabric, valence, or drapes, and can
be color-matched to the bracket hardware.

Natural and Artificial Daylight Control
Protect fine furnishings and floor coverings from harmful UV rays with intelligent shading
solutions. Shades can track the rising and setting of the sun to prevent extra solar heat gain in
the summer and utilize its warmth in the winter for added energy efficiency. Crestron shades
can also work with an entertainment system to close shades and prevent glare on a TV when it is
turned on, automatically creating the ideal viewing scenario.
Security and Privacy
Automated shades provide privacy and security. Shades allow natural light in with
semi-translucent shades, or use blackout shades to completely block views. In the event of a
forced entry into a home, shades integrated with a security system can be set to raise
automatically, allowing an intruder to be easily spotted from the outside.
Quiet Shade Motors
Crestron automated shades feature low-voltage Digital QMT® shade motors for quiet operation.
Crestron shades help manage daylight without audible disruptions to the space.
