Switching controls (except drapery motors)
If you are ordering more than one wireless remote controlled system, order either individual transmitters or multiple motor control transmitters.
When ordering motors for hard wiring, remember that one (1) motor may be controlled by an SPDT switch, and two (2) motors may be controlled simultaneously by a DPDT switch. If you are going to operate more than two motors from a single switch, isolation (parallel) relays are required for each motor.
Also, when ordering motors for hard wiring, check with your electrician about ordering our plug, receptacle, and switch kits.
When operating one motor from more than one switch, all switches must be SPDT momentary.
What length power cord is required?

Switching controls for drapery motors only
For low voltage switch operation, order either the S-300A or S-2DD recessed wall switches, or the S-1DD hand held or surface mount switch.
Since these motors have built-in relays, the motors can accommodate multiple switches for one motor, one switch for several motors, or individual switches for each motor in a group, plus a switch to control the entire group.
For wireless remote control, select either an infrared or radio frequency system. Transmitters are listed on page 13 of catalog.
These motors will also accommodate a modular switch in conjunction with remote control if it is desired.
