iQ3-DC eliminates the expense and complexity of local control wiring. This motorized solution marries MechoNet's intelligence and 2-way communication with the convenience of wireless or wired control. A 2-way wireless system improves real-time performance of the motorized shade system, enhancing long-term reliability and ensuring that commands are received, acted upon, and confirmed back to the control.

When planning with iQ3-DC motors, up to a 60% cost reduction is possible when powered by Power Panels. Unlike traditional wireless planning, cost per zone can now be optimized with a combination of higher-cost wireless and lower-cost serial motors. The first iQ3-DC motor distributes power and MechoNet commands to all other motors The result is a system that reduces wiring requirements and eliminates the need for wireless infrastructure equipment (repeaters, routers, etc.), Improving overall wiring and configuration costs.

The iQ3-DC motor packs a lot of power into a chassis that is 33% smaller than our competition. The minimum shade width is 21.5" for this quiet motor which helps ensure the same solution can be applied across a project. The smaller 40mm motor diameter allows for a 20% larger shade size in the same pocket dimension providing an overall less invasive profile.
