WhisperShade® IQ2® System

Ultra-Quiet and Powerful
The most advanced motorized-shading system on the market, WhisperShade IQ2 delivers robust, building-wide performance with ultra-quiet, networked components, and flexible control options–easily configured for on-or-off-site operation.

Performance packed into every facet of WhisperShade

  • IQ2 Electronic Drive Unit (EDU)

    An ultra-quiet, robust motor tucked into the shade tube delivers high-torque lifting capacity with flexible control options and precise positioning

  • IQ Switch

    One to five button switches accommodate up to three intermediate stop positions customizable to pinpoint your light-filtering requirements

  • MechoNet

    Proprietary RS485-based network that offers two-way communication and integration with a range of window-covering devices, wall switches, dry-contact devices, and third-party control systems

Seamless Integration with SolarTrac® and SunDialer® Automated Shade Systems

  • SolarTrac integrates with building control systems to maximize natural daylight, increase energy efficiency, and provide occupants with a comfortable environment with views to the outside
  • SunDialer provides low cost solar-tracking and sky-monitoring features for small-scale and retrofitted projects
  • In addition to WhisperShade IQ2 integration, MechoNet allows SolarTrac to communicate with existing lighting, A/V, and building automation systems

    • Adjust shade-band heights to one of five preset positions–full-up, full-down, and three intermediate heights–or stop at any point in between
  • Uniform
    • Shade-band heights are adjustable to only the five positions providing a consistent, aligned facade
Switch Configurations
