Please see IQ/MLC specifications for additional Local and Master Switch functionality. Local Switches control only those shade motors that have been assigned to them within an IQ/MLC control circuit. Master Switches control all shade motors on an IQ/MLC control circuit.

Assigning Local Switches to motors is 1, 2 easy.

Assign any of the 4 Local Switches to any combination of 4 Shade Motors controlled by the IQ/MLC to create up to four levels of control plus Master control: 1. Locate the appropriate Assignment Dip Switch(s) within the IQ/MLC Control Unit for the Local Switch you want to assign motors to. 2. Activate any combination of the four Dip Switches to control the appropriate motors.
