Frequently Asked Questions - CSM-QMTDC-250-4-EX Crestron

What is the Crestron CSM-QMTDC-250-4-EX used for?

The CSM-QMTDC-250-4-EX is a 4-channel motor control module designed to drive low-voltage DC motors for applications such as window shades, projection screens, or other automated equipment. It integrates with Crestron control systems via Cresnet or other interfaces.

What is the maximum current per channel?

Each channel can handle a nominal current of 250 mA at 24 VDC. Ensure your motor does not exceed this rating to avoid damage.

Can I control the module without a Crestron processor?

The module requires a Crestron control system (e.g., 3-Series or 4-Series processor) to operate. It communicates via Cresnet or optional RS-232/Ethernet when used with a compatible interface.

How do I wire the motor to the module?

Connect your DC motor wires to the corresponding channel terminals (M1+/M1-, etc.) observing polarity. Refer to the manual for detailed wiring diagrams. Typically, 2-wire or 4-wire configurations are supported.

What types of motors are compatible?

The module supports low-voltage DC motors up to 250 mA per channel, such as those used in roller shades or drop-down screens. Motors with built-in limit switches or position feedback may require additional connections.

Does the module provide motor position feedback?

Yes, the module can monitor motor position if the motor is equipped with a potentiometer or encoder feedback. This allows precise control and position reporting to the control system.

How do I configure the module?

Configuration is done via Crestron Toolbox or SIMPL Windows. Set parameters like motor type, direction, speed, and feedback type. The module can also be set to operate in toggle or momentary mode.

What are the mounting options?

The module can be mounted on a DIN rail (EN 50022) or using the included surface-mount bracket. Ensure adequate ventilation and clearance for wiring.

What troubleshooting steps should I take if a channel does not work?

Check power supply (24 VDC), wiring connections, and motor health. Use Crestron Toolbox to verify communication and status LEDs. If the LED is off, check for short circuits or overload. Contact support if needed.

Can I replace the module myself?

The module is not user-serviceable. If defective, contact a Crestron authorized service center for repair or replacement. Do not attempt to open the unit, as it may void the warranty.

Roller Shade Fabrics and Textiles

Crestron offers a variety of fabric colors with an array of fabric properties that suit every s budget. Crestron offers shade fabrics that are certified environmentally safe, recyclable and eco-friendly, mold- and bacteria-resistant, PVC-free, lead-free, and fire-retardant.

Fabric Characteristics

Crestron offers fabric in transparent, translucent, and blackout.

Transparent

View through a window with a green field and distant hills (no text or symbols visible)

Translucent

Window with a blank grid and a small green window showing trees (no text or symbols visible)

Blackout

Window with a beige roller blind and a small white fence visible through the window (no text or symbols)

Transparent fabrics transmit Translucent fabrics transmit light so that objects or imaglused light and enhance are seen through the weave privacy. The exterior view is the fabric. These have an only partially visible as openness factor between 3-silhouettes and shadows. These fabrics typically have an 10%. Benefits:

Blackout fabrics provide advanced light blockage and privacy. Use additional accessories to create a complete blackout solution and prevent light leaks along the window jambs and sill.

Benefits:

• Solar protection
  • Natural light and glare control

• Reduced solar heat gain

• Solar protection

• Privacy
  • Enhanced natural light filtration
• Reduced solar heat gain

Benefits:

• Ultimate light and glare control
- Complete privacy
• Dramatic reduction in solar heat gain

Fenestration Data

Fenestration data is used by designers to assist them when choosing a fabric. Fenestration data includes the following:

- Solar Transmittance (Ts): The ratio of total solar energy that contacts the shade fabric allowed through the fabric and into the space.

- Solar Reflectance (Rs): The ratio of total solar energy that contacts the shade fabric an reflected away from the space.

- Solar Absorbance (As): The ratio of total solar energy that contacts the shade fabric an absorbed into the shade fabric.

NOTE: The sum of Ts, Rs, and As will always be 100.

- Visible Transmittance (Tv): The ratio of total solar energy that is allowed to pass through shade fabric. The value is the amount of glare that is seen through the shade fabric. I a Tv value of 2% indicates that 98% of glare is reduced.

- Openness Factor (OF): The OF is the percentage of open space in the fabric. The percent determines how much light, heat, and glare the fabric allows to enter. A high OF facto more light than a lower OF factor. UV blocking shades do not provide privacy at night.

Hem Bar Styles

The hem bar on a Crestron roller shade provides weight at the bottom of the fabric so that hangs straight and travels up and down smoothly on the tube. Hem bars are available in the styles: Open Pocket, Sealed Pocket, and Exposed Blackout.

Open Pocket Hem Bar

The open pocket hem bar is an appropriate choice for when the designer does not want to add any additional detail to the bottom of the drawn shade. The pocket has an opening on each end of LILLER providing a simple finish to the shade. The hem bar is taped to fabric inside of the pocket to prevent the hem bar from moving.

Optional end caps may be ordered for an elegant finish to an open pocket.

Sealed Pocket Hem Bar

The sealed pocket hem bar is intended for use with single-sided seamable fabrics. The sealed pockets enclose the weighted hem bar making them ideal for schools and homes with small children.

However, the pinched end is less desirable with designers.

Exposed Blackout Hem Bar

The exposed blackout hem bar is intended for use in blackout applications. The hem bar blocks light from leaking in through the bottom of the roller shade fabric. The exposed blackout available in almond, black, brown, gray, and white.

Fabric Railroading

When the desired roller shade width is larger than the shade fabric width, railroading the shade an option to meet the desired shade width. Railroading the shade fabric rotates the shade for any associated pattern in the shade fabric, 90 degrees.

Illustration of a rolled-up wooden panel with vertical arrows indicating direction (no text or symbols)

Seams

If the shade fabric is railroaded and the window height is larger than the width of the fab pieces of fabric must be connected which creates a seam in the shade fabric.

When placing multiple roller shades in the same room, if one shade needs to be railroaded v all other shades should be railroaded. This creates a consistent view amongst the shades in t Seams can be specified for non-railroaded shades in the same room at no extra cost.

When possible, align seams with window hardware or a mullion.

Vertical seams are not allowed on roller shades because they create an uneven roll on the telescoping or tracking. Telescoping occurs when the fabric shifts excessively to the left or right roller tube as the shade is being rolled up.

Batten

When shade fabrics are very tall or very wide, the shade fabric may curl along the edges. stability for the shade or to prevent edge curling, battens may be sealed into the fabric.

When possible, align battens with window hardware or a mullion.

Battens are typically spaced evenly throughout the length of the shade fabric. Custom batten requests can be made to position battens to suit the window architecture. When using side c large shades, battens can be used to minimize fabric edge curling.

Roman shades use a variety of fabric folds, such as flat, cascade, relaxed, or pleated, to provide an elegant look to t space.

Roman shades give windows the softness and style of draperies, but with less bulk.

Similar to other Crestron roller shades, roman shades can be used as aesthetically as the focal point of the room or functionally to block out sunlight.

Crestron offers Roman Shade kits that use QMT5 Series Déc shade hardware (CSS-DECOR5). Provide the Roman Shade kit to a local workroom to create a shade that is powered by Crestron and created by you.

Cable Guided Shades

The Crestron Cable Guided Shades

(CS-SHADE-ROLLER-CABLEGUIDED) use Crestron QMT5 Series

Architectural and Décor shade hardware (CSS-ARCH5 and CSS-DECOR5) mounting hardware and a set of cables to guide roller shades on an angle.

As part of a complete engineered shading solution, it provides cable-guided tracking solution to prevent the shade fabric from swaying and allows for installation on angled windows.

It is compatible with inside, outside, and pocket mounted roller shades up to 10 ft (3 m) wide or 10 ft (3 m) long when using the 2.50 in. tube, and 13 ft (4 m) or 10 ft (3 m) long when using the 2.75 in. tube. Cable guided shade assemblies accommodate windows pitched inwardly or outwardly at up to 20 degrees from vertical.

The cable-guided option employs a pair of tensioned steel cables running vertically at either side shade fabric. A specially weighted hem bar with slotted end caps glides up and down the cable shade is raised and lowered. Small decorative anchors attach the cables at the bottom to the windowsill, window jamb, or floor. Precision brackets or blocks mount at the top to the windowsill window jamb, or ceiling. Adjustable cable fittings allow for proper tensioning of each cable to smooth travel and minimal sag.

NOTE: The shade fabric does not retract fully when raised. At its upper limit, the hembar and some amount of fabric remains visible. Not compatible with blackout options. A minimum 1-1/4 in. (32 mm) light gap is expected.

Roller Shade Measuring Guidelines

Take the measurements for roller shades after the window is fully finished, this allows window mounting pocket, window sill, window hardware, and other obstructions to be taken into consid Log shade measurements as width by height.

How to Measure Single Roller and In-Line Coupled F Shades

Use the Shade Measuring Worksheet - Single Roller and In-Line Coupled Shades (PDF) (Doc. 7925) for

additional information when measuring shades, to log the measurements, and to submit the measurements.

When measuring for single roller or in-line coupled shade, note the following:

• Inspect the window and the area around the window for window hardware (knobs, sills, may prevent the smooth travel of the shade.
• Verify that the window frame, window sill, and the window header are level, and then i designations.
• Measure the location where the brackets will be mounted.
• Measure the shade height and width in three different locations. Log the smallest value.
• For outside mount shades, measure the bracket-to-bracket (B2B) width (1) or the fabric and the shade height (2).
• For inside mount shades, measure the bracket-to-bracket (B2B) width (4), shade height (6), depth (5)
• When placing an order for an inside mount shade in CDT, the user will be asked if C adjust the bracket-to-bracket measurement. If Yes is selected, an 1/8 in. deduction will be on all roller shades that were specified as inside mount.

How to Measure Angled Coupled Shades

Use the Shading Solutions Measuring Worksheet - Angle Coupled Shades (PDF) (Doc. 7925) for additional information when measuring shades, to log the measurements, and to submit the measurements.

When measuring for an angled coupled shade, note the following:

- Check that all window frames are level and plumb with each other.

- Check that the surface is flat before measuring angles.

- Inspect the window and the area around the window for window hardware (knobs, sills, may prevent the smooth travel of the shade.

• Measure the location where the brackets will be mounted.

• Measure the shade height and width in three different locations. Log the smallest value.

- If the brackets are not installed, measure the shade width (B-1, B-2, B-3, etc), the inside (θ-1, θ-2, etc.), and the shade height (A).

- If the brackets are installed, measure the bracket-to-bracket width (B2B-1, B2B-2, B2B-3, e) Measure to the outside of the brackets.

- Angled coupled shades are not configurable with any top treatments (fascia, pocket, etc.). custom-built pocket is suggested to have a (5 in. depth x 6 in. height) minimum inside dir for the custom pocket.

Determining the Proper Drapery Track System

Every drapery track system has a draw configuration and arm style. Draw configuration refers point or points on the track where the draperies are opened. Fabric can be opened using a draw application. Fabric can also be opened using a center draw, asymmetric draw, or a multi-for spaces that require more than one opening.

Drapery fabrics are pleated into a pinch pleat or Ripplefold style to suit any décor.

Depending on their individual characteristics, drapery fabrics are pleated into one of several sty pinch pleat, and Ripplefold drapery styles are both supported by Crestron drapery track system carriers from which the draperies hang attach to the fabric in patterns specifically designed to the pleat style. The master carrier arm is also designed to complement the pleat style and configuration. For example, center-draw draperies with a pinch pleat often use an overlap arm the fabric meets for an illusion of continuity when in the closed position. Ripplefold draperies center draw achieve a different aesthetic with arms that butt up against one another when draperies are closed.

NOTE: To cover windows wider than 32 ft (9.8 m), multiple drapery tracks should be used.

Mounting Options

Drapery track system hardware can be mounted to a ceiling, on a wall, or inside a custom by the customer).

Ceiling Mount

Use cam-lock mounting brackets (CSA-DRP-CAM-LOCK) to secure the drapery track directly to the ceiling. Cam-locks have a handle that rotates to engage and secure the drapery track. In special circumstances where cam-locks cannot be used, the drapery track can be secured directly to the ceiling with screws.

Splicing

To provide a convenient solution for shipping and installing long drapery tracks, drapery tracks spliced. When a drapery track is spliced, it is shipped in shorter sections and then assembled installation site to create a full length track. When spliced, a drapery track can be made up (9.8 m) in length.

Drapery Track Splicing Rules:

• No more than two splices should be used on one track length.
• Splices can only be made along straight sections. A minimum of 10 in. (254 mm) of straight section is required on both sides of a splice on any curved, S curved, or bent sections
• The recommended splice location for center and asymmetric draw is at the draw location recommended splice location for a one-way draw is furthest away from the motor.
  • The maximum drapery track length is 32 ft (9.8 m) with splices.
• The maximum drapery track length without a splice is 20 ft (6 m).
• The maximum width of a drapery track shipping container is 5 ft (1.5 m). Bent and curve may require additional splices to meet the shipping container constraints.

NOTE: Splices create a slight gap in the drapery track. As the carriers travel across the gap in the drapery track, a slight click may be heard.

Track Styles

Crestron Drapery Tracks are available in straight track, bent track, and curved track configurati conform to virtually any wall configuration. The Drapery Tracks are made of aluminum and av white or brown.

Straight track is used in most applications where the window and wall are flat and on the

Bent Track

Bent drapery tracks can be used for bay windows, corner conditions, ect. This allows a single control a drapery spanning multiple sections of straight track with intermittent 45^irc or 90^irc ben

NOTE: Bent tracks have a minimum bend radius of 19 in. (483 mm).

A standard bent track uses 45^irc and 90^irc bends in the track. For nonstandard bends, submit that can be used by our production facility to match the layout of your room. For informative drapery track templates, refer to the CSA-DRAPERY-TEMPLATE-KIT Instruction Guide (PDF) (Doc 7821).

Fabric Types

The fabric for Crestron Drapery Track systems is provided by your local drapery fabric suppliercan be designed to be hung using a pinch pleat style or ripplefold style.

Pinch Pleat

The pinch pleat style has a pleated look created by a pinched, consistent gathering of fabric of the drapery panel. The pin-on hooks, inserted into the back of the pleats, hang from the the drapery track.

Ripplefold

The Ripplefold style uses snap tape sewn directly on the back of the drapery panel. The drap snaps directly to the carriers on the drapery track. Snap carriers are available in 80%, 100%, fullness. The distance between the carriers strung together defines the fullness.

Ripplefold Drapery Fullness

Draw Types

Drapery track draw styles are available for almost any application or room shape. The draw configuration refers to the point or points on the track where the draperies can be opened.

- Left Draw - Drapery fabric opens from the right to the left. The motor is mounted on the left end of the drapery track.

- Right Draw - Drapery fabric opens from the left to the right. The motor is mounted on end of the drapery track.

- Center Draw - Drapery fabric opens from the middle of the drapery track. The fabric of travels to the left, the fabric on the right travels to the right. The motor is mounted right or left end of the drapery track.

NOTE: The asymmetric draw (where the drapery is wider on one side) may be more appropriate a window that is not centered on the wall. This draw style will only fully open for the distance of travel between the master carrier and the end of the track. The multiple draw more appropriate for one long track that is used for two individual window openings.

Measuring Guidelines

Refer to the information below when measuring for a drapery track system:

• Measure the drapery track width at the top of the window where the drapery track system mounted.
• Check each window frame for level and plumb.
• To accommodate the stackback width when mounted in a pocket, the track must be cer space at a minimum of 6.5 in. (165 mm) wide for single tracks and 11 in. (280 mm) for c in order for the drapery to move freely.
• Drapery tracks should be mounted at least 3.5 in. (89 mm) from the wall.
• Inspect the window and the area around the window for obstructions (knobs, sills, etc.) block the travel of the drapery.
• Drapery stackback, typically 1/3 of the total track length, is an area that will always be fabric when the drapery is open. In a center draw configuration, the 1/3 stackback will with 1/6 on the left and 1/6 on the right. When possible, the drapery stackback should positioned covering the wall adjacent to the window in question. If the stackback is going partially obstructing the view out the window, it is important to set this expectation with customer.
• For a drapery track that measures greater than 20 ft (6 m) in length, a splice is required is when one long track is broken up into two or more shorter tracks. For more information drapery track splicing, refer to Splicing on page 55.
• If using an asymmetric draw drapery track, consider the drapery track location. An asymmetry draw is when the drapery is wider on one side. For more information, Draw Types on
• If a curved or bent drapery track is to be used, refer to Track Styles on page 56 and CSA-DRAPERY-TEMPLATE-KIT Instruction Guide (PDF) (Doc 7821).

Designing and Specifying

When designing or specifying a Crestron shade or drapery track system, adhere to the followir

• Do not take the final window measurements until the trim is installed and construction of the windows is complete.
• Measure the width of the shade or drapery track system where it will be mounted (top window). It is likely that the window frame is not perfectly square, so be sure to measure middle, and bottom widths of the window frame.
• Make sure that there is blocking behind the location where the shades and drapery track will be mounted, or make note of the type of shade mounting surface, so that the ins plan to bring the appropriate fasteners.
• Talk to the owner or designer when outside mounting a shade, if the window has trim whether to cover the trim completely with fabric, half of it, or any other portion.
• Take into consideration obstructions in the window opening, and above and below the wir (crank handles, baseboards, and tilting windows, etc.) to ensure that the shade does not while moving.
• Take note of HVAC ductwork. Air blowing directly on a shade or drapery track system performance. Prolonged exposure to heat may also damage the fabric.
• Verify that the usable roll width of the selected fabric can accommodate the window size
• Verify that the selected bracket will fit in the jamb or pocket that is specified.

Programming

When programming Crestron shades or drapery track systems, adhere to the following:

• Be sure that shade or drapery track system motors are running on the most recent Cre firmware.
• Use dedicated Open and Close buttons to control shades or drapery track systems. The of the button sends the shade or drapery track system to the open or closed limit. A of the button stops the shade or drapery track system.
• Check if button real estate is at a premium at the location, and if so use a single b control. An Open/Stop and Close/Stop control is how a typical garage door opener works easily understandable.
• Do not control shades that are not in view, because there may be an object left on another obstruction that prevents the shade or drapery track system from moving freely. could result in damage to the fabric, or damage to the obstruction.

Wiring and Power

Use Cresnet cable and Crestron power supplies when installing and connecting shades and drap. Refer to the following wiring and power supply options.

Wiring

• Use Cresnet cable for power and communication.
• The maximum Cresnet cable length between the power supply and a QMT shade and dr motor:

Cresnet Cable: 130 ft (39.5 m) maximum.
Cresnet HP Cable: 500 ft (152 m) maximum.

• Each QMT shade and drape motor requires a dedicated power supply output.

• Do not daisy-chain QMT shade and drape motors.
• The QMT shade and drape motor must be home-run from the power supply.

Power Supplies

Use a Crestron power supply to power Crestron QMT Shade and Drape motors. Crestron offe single-motor power supply and a ten-motor power supply.

The Crestron CSA-PWS40 (domestic) and CSAI-PWS40 (international) are outlet-mountable power supplies that provide power for a QMT Shade or Drape motor. Single-motor power supplies are especially useful when providing power from a local outlet to an infiNET EX wireless motor.

Ten-Motor Power Supply

The CSA-PWS10S-HUB-ENET Power Supply powers up to 10 (home run) reestron Shade or Drape motors with independent connections. There are five communication segments which handle two motors each. System communication options are Ethernet or Cresnet. Multiple power supplies can be daisy chaired with Cresnet. There is a recommended maximum of three CSA-PWS10S-HUB-E power supplies per Ethernet connection to minimized potential latency.

Ordering Guidelines

When ordering Crestron shades or drapery track systems, adhere to the following:

• Do not order shades or drapery track systems before it is necessary, as they can be left lying around. Shades and drapery track systems are typically the last technology to
• Measure multiple times and take the final measurements after all trim work and painting complete.
• Review the window for deductions on inside mount shades in the Crestron Design Tool (Either use CDT, or calculate the deductions yourself before entering the dimensions.
• Order fascia and the top and back cover separately and at a longer length than require the metal extrusions can be cut on-site for a perfect fit.

Installation Guidelines

When installing Crestron shades or drapery track systems, note the following:

- Do not install shades or drapery track systems when construction is still in progress. If absolutely necessary to perform shade or drapery track system installation work while construction is in progress:

• Leave the paper wrapping on the package.
• Mount all brackets and terminate wires with connectors.

• Install the shade or drape fabric after construction is complete. Mounting the fabric making power and data connections is a fast process that only takes a few minut

• Make sure that the painting at the location is complete to avoid getting paint on the

- For optimal performance, mount shades and drapery track systems so that they are level

- To ensure a perfect fit when installing shades with Crestron fascia that is provided with shade:

1. Secure the brackets to the fascia and then hold the bracket and fascia assembly desired installation location.
2. Mark the location of both brackets.

3. Remove the bracket from the fascia and then mount the brackets.

4. For wall-mount applications, thick trim may require shimming the bracket away from the reversing the roll of the shade so that the fabric does not contact the trim.

5. Properly dress all wiring. Wires or connectors that make contact with the shade tube or make noise and potentially damage the fabric.
   • After the shade is hung:

The factory set defaults will likely need to be adjusted. Do not raise or lower the without being able to monitor the shade. If necessary, someone needs to be in fro shade with the ability to stop the motor.
- Check for telescoping. The first time the shade travels up after installation is the critical time to verify the shade is traveling straight. Telescoping is adjusted at the but may still occur if the shade is not level. It is important to fix the problem k to the fabric occurs. All Crestron shade brackets have adjustments built in to minimal telescoping, but sometimes shim tape may need to be used.
- Check the shade for frayed edges and, if necessary, trim the frays. Frayed edges of manufacturing defect. Fraying occurs from handling shades and is most common with coated fiberglass fabrics.

- Return to the work site after 30 and 90 days to check limits, telescoping, and trim fro

Shipping and Receiving Shades

When shipping and receiving Crestron shades or drapery track systems, adhere to the following

• The maximum box length sent via UPS is limited. If the shade or drapery track system than 92 in. long, shipping via motor freight is necessary. In most cases, this means the cannot ship overnight. In cases where it is possible to ship overnight, the shipping fees prohibitive.
• When shades or drapery track systems are shipped to or received at a home that is u construction, a semitruck may not be able to deliver to the house. The truck may need at the street.
• Remember that someone needs to be present at the shipping location to receive the shc
• If there are several shades delivered on a pallet, be prepared to use a forklift to get the truck. If a forklift is not available at the time of delivery, it may be necessary to pallet down by hand to unload the cartons off the truck. If lift gate service is required, Shade Support know when placing the order.
• Do not stand shade cartons on the ends; this could wrinkle or damage the fabric.
• Splices can be used to split drapery tracks for shipping purposes.
• Check to be sure that long shades or drapery track systems can be maneuvered around location. Remember that shades or drapery track systems may not fit in elevators or up staircases.
• Install the shades within 2-3 weeks of receipt. Keeping the shades in their original cartor create impressions on the fabric. Impressions typically "hang out" over time when the sha hung in the window or can be coaxed with a hair dryer.

Fabric Care and Maintenance

How to Clean Fabric

Refer to the care instructions for the fabric to determine the appropriate cleaning methods. C reputable dry cleaner when fabric requires dry cleaning.

Roller Shade Fabric Edge Fray

Some shading fabrics are manufactured using PVC coated fiberglass yarns. During the cutting | the PVC coating is melted together on the shade edges. Inevitably, some fiberglass strands mo completely sealed. Over time, the fiberglass strands can fray slightly and become noticeable. Sir trim away frayed fibers.

While the bigger more noticeable frays are trimmed by the manufacturer at the factory, small can reappear during shipping, installation, or over time from daily operation. But don't worry, if of scissors this is an easy problem to fix. With your fingers, fluff the fabric edge so that it is visible, then simply trim them away with your scissors.

Detailing the Cut Edges

Primarily noticeable on dark fabrics, white fiberglass yarns may be visible even after you've tried frayed edges. With a permanent marker you can easily color the white fiber ends so they blied the fabric. For best results use a quick drying marker. Black, brown, or gray markers generally best with most dark fabrics.

If you have a two-colored fabric, make sure to select a marker color that matches the light fabric. Test a hidden spot first to ensure that the colors match. To prevent markers from bl the fabric and staining the edge of the shade, go slowly and handle your markers with care.

Minimizing Fraying

It's important to give your shades a clear path in which to operate. By keeping your shade rubbing on other objects, unwanted fraying can be minimized or prevented. Telescoping, as men above, can also increase fraying - particularly when the fabric edge starts rubbing against the brackets.

Glossary

Deflection:

As a shade increases in width, the metal tube begins to sag due to the did the tube and the weight of the fabric.

"V" or "V-ing", "A" or "A-ing":

When deflection is present in the tube, the fabric sags and produces a "V" or "A" shape type center of the shade.

Ripple/Wave:

Vertical ripples in the fabric. Ordering shades with battens can help minimize effect.

Curling/Cupping:

The edges of the fabric panel curl. It starts out normal at the top tube, becomes more pronounced toward the middle of the panel, and lessens as its gets closer to the hembar. Ordering shades with batten help minimize this effect.

Twisting:

Typically visible on tall and narrow shades where the fabric twists vertically.

Telescoping:

The tendency for a shade fabric to not roll up perfectly square with the shade tube. The fc telescope to the right or left and hang over the side of the tube. All shades are adjusted ensure proper tracking. Actual installation conditions may prevent the shade from tracking proper levelness of the mounting surface is the most common cause of telescoping.
