The Lutron Serena range comprises remote-controlled shades utilizing wireless radio frequency (RF) control. Installation requires attention to mounting surfaces and bracket alignment. Power options include batteries and individual or panel-mounted power supplies. This article details installation procedures, component information, and model number location based on available documentation.
Preparing for Installation
Prior to commencing installation, several important notes must be observed. A warning is issued regarding shock hazards, emphasizing the need to read and follow all instructions to prevent serious injury or death. A caution is also provided concerning the risk of falling objects, stressing the importance of secure shade system installation per the mounting instructions to avoid potential minor or moderate injuries.
Installation necessitates reading and saving the provided instructions. When mounting brackets, securing them to wood studs is recommended whenever possible. If wood studs are unavailable, appropriate fasteners (not included) must be used for the specific mounting surface. Proper bracket alignment is crucial; misalignment can prevent the shade from correctly snapping into place. Before installing batteries, the shade should be installed on its brackets, and a clear path for its travel verified.
Furthermore, the documentation advises keeping all LTE devices—such as routers and mobile phones—at least 3 ft (1 m) away from the shade to potentially avoid interference.

Locating the Model Number
Identifying the product model number is essential for support and troubleshooting. If the original packaging is available, the model number can be found on the insert card (lower left corner for clamshell packaging) or on the top of the box. Lutron model numbers typically consist of 12-16 characters and begin with a combination of letters followed by a dash.
If the original packaging is unavailable, the model number is usually located on a label on the side of the dimmer or switch. However, the documentation notes a specific exception: for Ariadni/Toggler dimmers, the model number is not on a label but is printed directly on the front of the dimmer, either on the top left or below the on/off toggle.
If a dimmer/switch is already installed, the electricity must be turned off, the wallplate removed, and the wallplate adapter unscrewed before accessing the dimmer/switch to locate the label.
