Mainstream guestroom point structure (wired/wirelesssame list, RCU network and module model differ). PurePoint Smart delivers hardware and wiring; PMS, room state, mini-program byintegrator software—not RCU bundled.

Typical engineering configurations

Motor selection, dual wiring, retrofit routes—formal project per point diagram and BOM revision.

Dual sheer and blackout motors

Dual motor · sheer + blackout

Upscale standard: two tube motors for sheer and blackout viadual shade moduleor two RCU relays.

  • Welcome: sheer before blackout—avoid depressing full close
  • Stop percentage in RCU scene table
  • Suite may add third channel (living / bedroom zone)

Tube motor track and RS485 module

Tube motor · track and power

New build: curtain box 220V, control cable (RVV/RVSP) and RS485 in same or separate raceways.

  • Motor torque by width/weight—seemotor catalog
  • Module address and DI/DO terminal table with BOM
  • Venetian/Shangri-La optional 0–10V angle module

Wireless shade retrofit module

Retrofit · wireless shade module

Minimal wiring: battery or local power tube motor +wireless shade modulevia gateway to RCU scenes.

  • Suited to boutique, add-on later
  • Aligns withserviced apartmentB/C routes
  • Scenes still unified on RCU/panel—no separate shade app

Three deployment routes

Same scene semantics—pick motors/modules by new/retrofit/luxury zones; full routes:guestroom hardware reference.

A

RS485 wired · standard room

RCU +shade module/ dual-channel module, bus addressing planned; new upscale and chain rollout.

New build · repeatable rollout

B

Wireless retrofit · module + gateway

Wireless actuators + edge gateway; scenes with wired RCU same net or sub-panel; short schedule for retrofit.

Boutique retrofit

C

Suite multi-zone · multi motor

Living/bed/bath shade groups; luxury floor-to-ceiling multi-stop—seeluxury solutionlight moments.

Engineering integration notes

Curtain box mains

220V to curtain box; motor load and breaker count; coordinate with ceiling trade.

Control cable / bus

RVV to motor; RS485 with RCU riser or room panel; one address sheet per room.

Lighting coordination

Welcome/sleep same key; night path does not auto-open shade.

Acceptance test

Per-scene stop, limit, manual pull; dual-channel interlock sign-off.
