Alena QS and QS Wireless Drapery Systems System Specification
085327f 1 05.08.19
The Alena Drapery System is an easily installed, low-cost
window treatment solution designed for the hospitality and
multi-dwelling market. Guests have several options for
convenient control via Lutron remote controls and keypads,
or by pulling the drapery panel in the direction they want it
to move. If a user is unaware of the control device, they will
learn of the drapery’s motorization when they manually pull
on the panel. The drive will take over and move the panel
automatically to its Open or Close limit.
Features
Pull-to-Start function* allows for motorized operation
with or without controls
Ultra-quiet drive operation: will not exceed 50 dBA
measured 1 m (3 ft) from the drive
Pinch Pleat and Ripplefold options
Left, right, and center-draw options
All drives start, move, and stop with precision
Ceiling or recess mounting options
Can be installed in new construction or
retrofit application
Available with white, silver, and bronze track colors
Power failure memory for the lifetime of
the product
Decouples the EDU and track into two separate
components, allowing the EDU to be replaced or
upgraded in the field
Low-voltage, DC power
8 year limited warranty
* For reliable Pull-to-Start performance, grasp the draw
edge of the drape no more than 5 ft (152 cm) from the

Fabric Fullness
Generally, drapery “fullness” is the aesthetic result of adding more or less fabric to a given system width. Lutron
expresses fullness as a multiple (pinch pleat; 2x, 2.5x, 3x) or percentage (ripplefold; 80%, 100%, 120%) of (flat)
fabric panel width, relative to system (track) width.
Lower fullness results in smaller stackback size when open and more spread when closed.
Higher fullness results in larger stackback size when open and less spread when closed.
Ripplefold Fabric Fullness
Fullness is determined by the string length between auxiliary carriers (S) and the total width of the fabric panel.
Lutron offers fullness ratings of 80%, 100%, and 120%, based on standard snap spacing of 4.25 in (108 mm).
(See ripplefold snap tape specifications on page 10.)
Pinch Pleat Fabric Fullness
Pinch pleat drapery panels are offered at 3 fullness ratings:
3x: fabric panel width (before pleating) = track width x 3 (sheer fabrics only)
2.5x: fabric panel width (before pleating) = track width x 2.5
2x: fabric panel width (before pleating) = track width x 2
Note: Due to potential variations in final pleating, Lutron intentionally over-estimates the number of auxiliary
carriers provided with pinch pleat drapery track systems. Extra carriers may be included.

Drapery fabric
Adjustment of the drapery pin height may be necessary to
align these pleats with the other pleats on the drapery panel.
Lutron recommends a drapery hook setting of 1/2 in (13 mm) from the top of the drape to the top of the hook
(hooks not included). This locates the drapes just below the track and prevents it from rubbing on the track. It is
recommended that a distance of 1/2-1 in (13-25 mm) be maintained between the bottom of drapery panel and
the floor.

Drapes are typically sized so the bottom of the drapery track and top of the drapery panel are located 4 in (101 mm) above
the window casing. Location may need to be adjusted to accommodate the specific drapery panel height and application. It
is recommended that a space of 1⁄2-1 in (13-25 mm) be maintained between the bottom of drapery panel and the floor.

The Lutron Ripplefold Drapery System is compatible with standard ripplefold snap tape with spacing of
4.25 in (108 mm) between snaps.
Standard carriers accept male snaps; quantity required varies with track width.
Three (3) female snaps are required at the draw end as shown.
Compatible female snap tap is available from Alan Richard Textiles, Ltd.
By the yard: alanrichardtextiles.com/store/DRFT02-Y.html
By 100 yard (91.4 m) roll: alanrichardtextiles.com/store/DRFT02.html
Single-draw configurations require one drapery panel.
Center-draw configurations require 2 drapery panels
Butt-closure: snap layout shown below mirrored on the second panel.
Overlap-closure: the draw and return end snap layouts shown below are mirrored on the second panel, and the
right panel requires one more auxiliary snap than the left. (See the Overlap-Closure diagram on previous page.)
