The QIS system consists of the Power/Communications Panel (PCP) and hardwired shades. The PCP handles communication
with the InFusion controller for conguration. The shades are hardwired for both power and RS-485 communication using RJ-45
connectors and CAT5e (or better) network wire.
DESIGN CENTER QIS SHADES
Make sure the following steps have been completed before you begin:
1. Shades installed
2. Power/Communication Panel(s) (PCP) units installed and powered
3. InFusion system installed
4. PCP wired to shades and RS-485
SERIAL INTEGRATION: VANTAGE AND QIS SHADES
DESIGN CENTER SOFTWARE SETUP
1. Conrm all shades are setup and paired
2. In the Design Center Object Explorer> Enclosure view> Object Editor, click on:
A. Add QIS Bus; then switch to Bus View, right-click on QIS Bus Port Object
B. Discover shades
C. Name shades
D. Set other Object Editor items
NOTE: If a Din Lite II Controller is being used to connect to the Power Panel, then
the RS-485 Port needs to be set to Port 2 on the QIS Bus.
3. Create shade groups and assign individual shades to each group - see Creating
Shade Groups on last page.
4. Program the InFusion System Controller (F5).
Program the InFusion System Controller. This method 1) auto-discovers all the
shades connected to a QIS Bus, 2) creates the appropriate shade objects in the
Design Center project le, and 3) imports their Serial Numbers.
For this method:
1. Right-click on the QIS Bus in Bus View and select Discover Shades.
2. Name each shade, and assign each shade to proper areas/rooms in the Design
Center project.
NOTE: Shades can be easily identied using the Jog Shade button found at the
bottom of the Object Editor when online with controller.

SET SHADE LIMITS
While Design Center has a live connection to the controller, the Object Editor allows:
1. Upper and lower limits to be set using the shades current position, 2. Copy another
shades limits, or 3. Set shade length specied by motor “ticks”. When the lower limit is
set, the shade will automatically move to its new lower limit.
ALTERNATIVE METHOD SET SHADE LIMITS
Alternatively, multiple shades’ lower limits can be set simultaneously.
1. Manually pull shades to the desired lower limit.
2. Right-click the QIS Bus icon in Bus View and select Set Lower Limits.
NOTE: When Design Center is in Congure Stations mode, the shades are placed
in calibration mode so they will not go up when tugged on. This aids when manually
setting a shade’s limit. If a shade is pulled too far, take Design Center out of Congure
Stations mode (which takes the shades out of calibration mode), then tug on the shade
and it will open again allowing the manual position of the shade to be repeated with the
correct lower limit.
TIP: If a shade’s upper or lower limit gets changed outside of Design Center (such as
through shade tug commands), be sure to “Read” the shade’s limit, to get an accurate
limit tick value in the live control editor.
CONFIGURE SHADES (continued)
CAUTION: WHEN USING TICKS TO CONTROL
SHADE LIMITS DO NOT ACCIDENTLY ENTER A
NUMBER SO HIGH THAT THE BLIND BEGINS
TO ROLL BACK ON ITSELF OR DAMAGE MAY
OCCUR TO THE FABRIC AND/OR MOTOR.
3. A window pops up (see above) allowing the programmer
to select which shades to be included in the Set Lower Limits
process. Place a check in each shade box wanted for this
operation.
NOTE: This box allows programmers to select all the shades
in the project, all the shades in a specic room/area, or any
combination of individual shades.
4. Click the Set Limits button, a conrmation dialogue pops up
asking the programmer to verify all the shades are in the correct
position – click OK to nish or Cancel to abort the operation.

4
LIVE CONTROL AND FEEDBACK
The Object Editor for QIS shades contains a panel with controls that allows live control and feedback of the selected shade. This
panel appears when there is a live connection to the controller, and the controller has been programmed. The panel contains controls
for shade identication using the Jog Shade, Open, Close, and Stop buttons. Also, a graphical representation of the shade at its
current position, is displayed. The graphical shade will also act as a slider to set the position of the shade – click and hold the bottom
edge of the shade to move up or down as wanted, then release.
NOTE: The slider operation will not position the shade correctly until the lower limit has been set.
Note: QIS Live Control Editor with close, stop, open, and etc.
control buttons only appears when the system is programmed
and Design Center has a live connection to the controller.

PAIRING SHADES TO THE QZHUB3
Legrand Shading System’s ZigBee shades use the QzHub3 as a gateway for ZigBee communications. The QzHub3 will handle
communication with the controller for control and conguration of shades using Ethernet. The QzHub3 can handle up to 100 devices
(shades + remotes + range extender = 100). All 100 devices can be directly connected to QZHub3.
The programmer will need to activate the QzHub3 via the QzHub App to join the shades to the hub before programming them in
Design Center. The QzHub3 is the communications gateway between Qadvanced shades and the InFusion Controller. Each system
can support one Qz3 Bus.
To use the QzHub3 with Vantage, you must rst join the shades to the hub through the QzHub App. This is available for download
from the iOS and Android App stores. For detailed instructions, refer to the QzHub App User Guide.
ZIGBEE QZHUB3 INTEGRATION - VANTAGE AND LEGRAND SHADES
1. You will rst need to create an account. You can use a
personal email and transfer the hub once the integration is
done or use the homeowner’s email.
2. Next, you will need to pair the QzHub3 to the
account. Select QzHub3 on the Choose your Hub
page. Press Add at the bottom of the page, and select
Add a Hub.

7
PAIRING SHADES TO THE QZHUB3 (continued)
3. Type the SGW code located at the bottom of your hub,
underneath the barcode or, optionally, you can scan the
barcode. The app will alert that the hub has been added.
6. Tug the shade 6 -10” and it will begin to “micro-jog”.
When paired, the shade will roll to the top and the app will
indicate a shade has been added. Tap on the shade to
rename it and then click Save.
5. Now we can begin pairing shades to the hub. Select
Add Devices, select your hub on the app, and press the
ENABLE PAIRING prompt.
NOTE: The IoT LED on the QzHub3 blinks slowly when in
pairing mode.
4. When the hub successfully activates you should see the
WAN, IoT and WiFi light on solid.

QZHUB3 INTEGRATION WITH VANTAGE (continued)
4. Return to your software, select the Activate Tab, type
the Integration code from the app and press Activate.
When successful, DC will alert you and the property tab
will auto populate the rest of the elds.
5. To add shades, under Bus view, right-click the QZ Bus 3
and select Discover Shades. This will populate all shades that
are currently paired to your QzHub3. Once shades populate,
Program your controller (F5).
QZHUB3 LIVE CONTROL AND FEEDBACK
The Object Editor for Qz shades will contain a panel with controls that allow live control and feedback of the selected shade. This
panel appears when there is a live connection to the controller, and the controller has been programmed. The panel contains controls
for shade identication using the Jog Shade, Open, Close, and Stop buttons. Also, a graphical representation of the shades at its
current position is displayed. The graphical shade will also act as a slider to set the position of the shade – click and hold the bottom
edge of the shade to move up or down as wanted then release.
NOTE: The slider operation will not position the shade correctly until the lower limit has been set.
QzHub Live Control Editor with close, stop, open, and etc.

CREATING SHADE GROUPS
1. In Design Center select the room in Project Explorer |
Area View in which to add the shade group object.
2. In Object Explorer | Vantage Objects, double click on the
Shades Group object to add it to the project in the selected
room. The Object Editor updates with a list of all blind
objects in the project sorted by location.
3. Place a check in each blind box to be
included in the new Shade Group.
4. Equinox devices may have the new shade group selected to
display. The rst Shade Group in an Equinox prole will display
on the dashboard and the Shade Group details will display in
full page view. Additional shade groups may also display on
equinox devices (if they are selected to show), by scrolling left/
right through the pages. See additional Equinox information on
the Vantage dealer site and Design Center’s built-in help.
SHADE GROUPS
All shade grouping is handled through Design Center’s Shade Group object. In the Object Editor, checking a QIS or Qz Shade
object will add the shade to the Shade Group list. Other third party shades may also be added to the same group including relay
shades. However, there may be some advantage having identical shades in a shade group allowing all shades in the group to be
controlled in a more synchronous manner. Equinox devices need shade groups in order to use the Equinox shade app. This is the
most comprehensive user interface available including graphical shade positions of individual as well as shade groups – please
see the User Interface table on page 1 of these instructions.
NOTE: Synchronized movement is affected by many factors, (i.e., shade length, shade material design, etc. All shades in a group
can open, close, or move to a specic position, but may not arrive at the fully open, close, or specic position at the same time).

13
1. All RS-485 port cabling should be done with twisted pair type cable and if possible shielded, for best protection.
NOTE: Although many cable types can be used to build the network with good results, we acknowledge that Cat 5e and Cat 6 based
networks might be the widest used type, so we will proceed with our guidelines assuming this type of cable is used.
2. Maximum cable run between IC-XX-II and QIS Power and Communications Panel (PCP) should be limited to 200 ft.
3. If more than one PCP device will be connected to a single IC-XX-II port, then these should be daisy chained, that is: these need to
be connected through RJ45 “third party Integration” connectors. See picture below. All PCP panels added to a IC-xx-II single RS-485
Port, it is recommended to have a maximum combined length of 200 ft. Along the same context, combined length of all segments
from PCP nodes to QIS shade devices, must not exceed 1000ft. In the gure below, combined length of Segments A+B+C should be
kept below 200ft.
NOTE: If combined cabling from the RS-485 comm port to all the of the node devices exceeds 1,200 ft, then, an RS-485 Optical
Isolator/Repeater/Splitter should be used in order to increase the reach for another 1,200 ft of combined system cabling.
NOTE: Combined cabling from IC controller,
through PCP nodes, including all branches to
QIS shades, must not exceed 1,200 ft.
WIRING GUIDELINES AND BEST PRACTICE INFORMATION

14
WIRING GUIDELINES AND BEST PRACTICE INFORMATION (continued)
4. IC-XX-II RS-485 port should only be connected to PCP input port. This port on the PCP device is indicated as “third party
integration” ports.

15
WIRING GUIDELINES AND BEST PRACTICE INFORMATION (continued)
*NOTE: Limitation on distance is limited by the data communications limit being reliable, not by the power dropout.
The table of cable runs apply only to a single PCP device connected to an IC-XX-II RS485 port. If more PCPs are connected through
the “third party integration” ports, then the table described does not apply. In this case the total 1000 ft of cable runs must be the
total cable run shared between all 16 ports (in case there are 2 PCP daisy chained). Same reasoning applies for three or more PCPs
connected.

32 31 ft 1 shade on each port
5. Maximum cable run between PCP output ports and QIS shade motors, should not exceed the maximum permitted distance
according with the following table:

16
WIRING GUIDELINES AND BEST PRACTICE INFORMATION (continued)
6. If the cables that run from the PCP to QIS devices are different length; then place the longest on PCP output port #1, then the next
longest one on port #2 and so forth.
7. It is suggested that if possible, Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable is used, if there is a need to accommodate cable run lengths of more than
the maximum recommended, then it is suggested the use of a reliable RS-485 optical Isolator. This will effectively extend the allowed
maximum length and will provide protection from possible ground loops at the installation site.
8. Make sure all cable runs from PCP devices to QIS shades motors are at least 8 inches away from any power carrying cabling, if
the cable routing cannot avoid crossing power cabling then make sure this crossing is done at a 90 degrees angle.
9. On installations where ground loops are suspected; the use of optically Isolated RS-485 repeaters is strongly encouraged. This
will extend the reach of the cable run and will isolate potentially hazardous voltages on the remote end that could damage the local
equipment.

WIRING GUIDELINES AND BEST PRACTICE INFORMATION (continued)
10. If the total accumulated cable length of the RS-485 network exceeds 1200 ft; then the longest cable run, presumably at port 1 of
the PCP, should be terminated with a 120 ohm resistor between its data terminal nodes (pins 2 and 1 of PCP´s RJ45), at the end of
the cable run. Whenever total combined length of cable is for less than 1200 ft, the termination resistor is not needed. It is important
to note that, when combined cable runs exceed 1200ft on the entire network there should be 2 termination resistors. One is already
included inside the IC, so the only additional need is 1- 120 termination resistor at the far end side of the cable run.
11. If the installer decides to use shielded CAT5e or CAT 6 cable on the installation, then cable’s shield should be connected to the
panel’s side earth GND terminal only.
