Qrelay Guidelines
1. Place the remotes in the most optimal position to get the most reliable shade
response. This may require moving them around multiple times.
2. If there are dead spots or areas that cannot be reached by the optimal remote
placement then add one Qrelay to ll the dead spot.
3. Should a shade be even further than one Qrelay can manage, then add another at
a distance where the signal can be received to bridge the gap between the
transmitter and the shade and so forth until the shade can be reached.
• Try to add repeaters in a line, not in a group.
• Try to minimize the amount of Qrelays in a project. If one or two work, adding more
may be unnecessary overkill.
4. If the shade responds unreliably to one command, send another command
5 seconds later.
• If the transmitter is a Qconnect, this may be able to be programmed into the
system that controls it.
5. Do not place the Qrelay behind refrigerators, TVs, Microwaves, or other large
obstructions as they may decrease effectiveness.
If the desired shade to move needs to have the command hop through a number of
Qrelays, please consider it will take about 3 seconds per Qrelay.
Qrelay Instructions
Examples of proper use:
1. Controlling groups of shades
separated by 60 feet and 2 rooms
from a Qconnect or Multi-Channel
Remote.
a. A Qrelay can be placed halfway to
outlying groups of shades from the
Qconnect or Multi-Channel Remote.
2. Helping to control shades that are in a
RF dead zone.
a. Sometimes a column or other
structure may be between a
transmitter and a shade, causing the
shade not to respond reliably. Try
locating a Qrelay to the side of an
obstruction, or halfway around it, to
help “steer” the signal around it.
Incorrect use:
1. Placing multiple Qrelays to repeat the
signal multiple times to insure all
shades move.
a. This can cause the Qrelays to
become useless, because of
interference from each other.
b. If 2 or more Qrelays are close
enough to hear the original
transmitting device, they will most
likely try to retransmit the command
at the same time. If this occurs they
will drown each other out and the
shade will not be able to
hear the
correct command and will not respond.
2. Using Qrelays to overcome difcult
shade placement.
There are cases where the RF will not
reach the shade, even when sent from
close distance to the shade. If a shade
will not respond to a hand held remote in
close proximity to the shade the Qrelay
will not help.
FCC COMPLIANCE
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference. (2) This device must accept any
interference received. Including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Warning: Changes or modications to this device not expressly approved by QMotion Incorporated
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Note: This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
INDUSTRY CANADA COMPLIANCE
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a
type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce
potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that
the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
Conformement a Ia reglementation d’lndustrie Canada, le present emetteur radio peut fonctionner
avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inferieur) approuve pour l’emetteur par lndustrie
Canada. Dans le but de reduire les risques de brouillage radioelectrique a !’intention des autres
utilisateurs, il taut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que Ia puissance isotrope rayonnee
equivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne depasse pas l’intensite necessaire a l’etablissement d’une communication
satisfaisante.
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio
exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l’appareil ne
doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage
radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
