Line Voltage Wiring Details
• Use properly certified cable for all line
voltage/mains cables.
• Proper short-circuit and overload
protection must be provided at the
distribution panel.
• Install in accordance with all local and
national electrical codes.
• IEC PELV/NEC®Class 2 terminals may
be temporarily unplugged for ease of
contact closure and control wiring.
• Notice: Risk of damage to unit. Do not
connect line voltage/mains cable to IEC
PELV/NEC®Class 2 terminals.
Step 1: Install wallbox. Mount a 3`in
(89 mm) deep 4-gang U.S. wallbox on a
dry, flat indoor surface that is accessible
and allows for system programming and
operation. Allow at least 4`in (110 mm)
clearance above and below the faceplate
to ensure proper heat dissipation. Allow
1 in (25 mm) for faceplate overhang on
all sides.
Note: 4-gang wallbox available from
Lutron; P/N 241400.
Step 2: Check wiring.
•Earth/ground terminal connection must
be made as shown in wiring diagrams
(see page 3).
• Follow all local and national electrical
codes when installing IEC PELV/NEC®
Class 2 wiring with line voltage/mains
wiring.
WARNING! Electric Shock hazard.
May result in Serious Injury or
Death. Always turn off circuit
breaker or remove main fuse from
power line before doing any work.
Step 3: Connect line voltage.
• Strip 9in (8 mm) of
insulation off the line
voltage/mains cables in
the wallbox.
• Connect the line voltage/mains and
ground wires to the appropriate terminals
on the back of the timeclock.
L: Line/Hot
N: Neutral
: Ground
The recommended installation torque is
5.0 in∙lb (0.6 N∙m) for line voltage/mains
connections and 5.0 in∙lb (0.6 N∙m) for
the earth/ground connection.
Notice: Risk of damage to unit.
The QS Timeclock must be installed by
a qualified electrician in accordance with
all applicable regulations and building
codes. Improper wiring can result
in damage to the timeclock or other
equipment.

Navigating Menus in Programming Mode
Master Buttons
The Master buttons allow you to move through the menu
choices. The current choice is highlighted on the info screen.
OK Button
The OK button chooses the current highlighted menu choice.
This will either take you to the next menu or accept a setting you
have selected. When the screen displays a Yes/ No question, the
OK button is “Yes”.
Timeclock Button
The timeclock button functions as a “back” button during
programming mode. Pressing the timeclock button takes you
back one step in the current menu. Pressing it repeatedly
will eventually return you to the main menu, but will not exit
programming mode. When the screen displays a Yes/No

To associate or disassociate window treatments with a
shade button group:
1. On the QS Timeclock shade button group you wish to assign
window treatments to, enter window treatment programming
mode: Press and hold the top (open) and bottom (close)
buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. The top and bottom
LEDs will flash.
Window Treatments that are unassigned will move to open
(up), and window treatments that are assigned will move to
close (down).
2. Tap the top (open) button to start assigning.
3. Tap the top (open) button repeatedly to cycle forward
through the addresses; tap the bottom (close) button to cycle
backward.
4. Press the window treatment group lower button to associate
the window treatment.
Press the window treatment group raise button to
disassociate the window treatment.
5. Exit window treatment programming mode: Press and hold
the top (open) and bottom (close) buttons simultaneously for
3 seconds. The top and bottom LEDs will stop flashing.
You can associate the shade button groups on the QS
Timeclock with QS window treatments so the shade buttons
can directly control the window treatments.
Associating QS Window Treatments
Press and hold the
top (open) and bottom
(close) buttons on the
QS Timeclock shade
button group to enter or
exit window treatment
programming mode.

Adjusting Window Treatment Settings
Setting Limits
Note: Entering Limit Setup mode may cause window treatments
to move approximately 8 in (200 mm) up or down. Be sure that
each window treatment is positioned so that the fabric can
safely move 8 in (200 mm) up or down before entering Limit
Setup mode.
1.On any shade button group, press and hold
simultaneously the top and raise buttons. The
LEDs next to the top and bottom buttons will
cycle.
At any time while in Limit Setup mode, you
can move all window treatments together to
their current open limit by double-tapping the
top button, or to their current close limit by
double-tapping the bottom button.
Note: Window treatment electronic drive units (EDUs) must first
be associated to a shade button group before its limits
can be adjusted.
2.Select the EDU you want to adjust using the top button on the
shade button group. Each time you press and release the top
button, a different EDU that is assigned to that shade button
group will open and close in an 8 in (200 mm) range to indicate
it is selected.
Tap the top button until the EDU for the window treatment you
wish to adjust moves. (You can also use the bottom button,
which moves through the assigned EDUs in the opposite order.)
3.Adjust the currently selected EDU to the desired
level for the open limit (the maximum the window
treatment is allowed to open) using the raise and
lower buttons.
4.Press and hold the top button on the shade button group for
5 seconds to store the current position as the open limit. The
LED next to the top button will flash quickly for 2 seconds.
