Snow shade keypads use wireless control to connect with compatible processors and operate motorized shades, draperies, and screens as part of a lighting control system. Installers can assign individual buttons to preset shade levels or use raise and lower controls to adjust groups of window treatments, while LED bars help users locate active controls in low-light conditions.

Before installing snow shade keypads, review the electrical box for a 120–277 V supply, wire-lead connections, and a neutral wire. Confirm that connected loads fall within the keypad’s rated limits, such as 150 W LED, 450 W incandescent, halogen, or electronic low-voltage, and 350 VA magnetic low-voltage loads.

Snow shade keypads with a two-button layout provide two large buttons for assigned lighting or shade commands. Three-button layouts add dedicated raise-and-lower control, allowing users to adjust shade position or other supported device levels from the keypad.

Place wireless snow shade keypads within 75 feet of the wireless processor for communication with the control system. Each keypad should also have at least two other non-battery-powered devices using the same wireless technology within 25 feet.
