Line Voltage Switches – Hardwired (Direct Wiring)	Line Voltage Controls – Hardwired (Direct Wiring)	MechoShade possesses a variety of Line Voltage Switches for basic control of shades equipped with standard, line voltage (120/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz) tubular motors. The motors wire directly to the switches that control them in a hardwired, homerun (direct) fashion and therefore do not require any intermediate controller electronics.
Low Voltage Control Systems - Hardwired	MLC™	The MLC offers enhanced functionality over Line Voltage Switch controls by providing master control of large groups of motors while also enabling the integration of low voltage sensors, timers and third party control systems for higher level functionality.
Low Voltage Control Systems - Hardwired	IQ/MLC™	A microprocessor-based 4-motor controller, specializing in multi-level control and uniformity while controlling standard tubular motors. The IQ/MLC™ offers a refined user interface for discriminating control of shade position, overlapping group control, incremental positioning, shade alignment and integration with other control systems and automation sensors. IQ/MLC's can be daisy-chained to work well from a single office to whole building control networks.
Low Voltage Controls Busline	I•CON™	The I•CON™ is a logic-based, soft-managed system, utilizing state-of-the-art bus line technology for control of motorized shading. Each Intelligent Motor (IM) may be programmed with up to 7 unique addresses. There are 255 unique addresses available. All I•CON (Intelligent Motor Control System™) components are UL recognized and systems tested.
Low Voltage Optional Control Accessories and Peripherals	ElectroShade®	MechoShade® offers a Remote Control line that provides motor control from a distance through the use of a hand held radio transmitter. Remote Controls are available as one, two, three or four motor controllers.
Sky Light Shades		Special solutions for shading of monumental curved sloped and horizontal fenestration. Automatic and manual operations. Flat, soft-fold, accordion-pleated, top-down and bottom-up configurations.
Tensioned SkyLighter Roller Shade	Flat Skylighter™	A Tensioned SkyLighter Roller Shade is a motorized shade designed for applications that require a taught flat shade.
Non-Tensioned Roller Shades	Flat Skylighter™	A single tubular motor and spring system for angled, gravity drop or horizontal shades up to 6 x 8 ft (183 x 245 cm). As the motor in the cable take up tube pulls the shade band across the opening, it creates resistance as it tightens the opposing spring in the fabric tube, providing shade band taughtness. The size and weight of the shade will determine if idler rollers, guide cables and/or guide track are necessary.
Horizontal Soft-Fold Shades	Soft-Fold Skylighter™	The system consists of two cable take up tubes, one for each direction of travel, each with its own motor and drive cable and a fixed pleat at the head rail. A separate set of Spacer Cables keep the pleats properly spaced to a series of 1" (25mm) tubes sealed inside the shadecloth, while a Guide Cable keeps the shade tracking straight.
Non-Tensioned Gravity Drop	Soft-Fold Skylighter™	This system has only a cable take up tube with tubular motor and a fixed pleat at the head rail. The cable take up tube raises the shade by lifting the drive cables attached to the hem bar at the bottom of the shade. A separate set of Spacer Cables keep the pleats properly spaced to a series of 1" tubes sealed inside the shade cloth, while a Guide Cable keeps the shade tracking straight.
Non-Tensioned Horizontal	Soft-Fold Skylighter™	Consists of two cable take up tubes, one for each direction of travel; each with its own motor and drive cable and a fixed pleat at the head rail. A separate set of Spacer Cables keep the pleats properly spaced to a series of 1" tubes sealed inside the shade cloth, while a Guide Cable keeps the shade tracking straight.
Optional Accessories - Side Channels		Side Channels are recommended when conditions require minimizing the light leak around the shade cloth. Ideal for A/V centers, training facilities and laboratories. Can be used on vertical, horizontal or angled shades.
Optional Accessories - Idler Rollers		Side Channels are recommended when conditions require minimizing the light leak around the shade cloth. Ideal for A/V centers, training facilities and laboratories. Can be used on vertical, horizontal or angled shades.
Optional Accessories - Guide Cables and Guide Track		Guide Cables and Guide Track are used depending on the size of the shade and/or site conditions. For example, Guide Cables are used to support a shade when there is no space between two side-by-side shades to accommodate a Guide Track.
Room Darkening and Audio Visual		Components and shadecloths to use with the MechoShade and ElectroShade systems in areas requiring partial or total blackout capabilities. Pre-fabricated Blackout Cassette Assembly with side and/ or bottom channels.
