This system can pull up to 44 lbs. with a single motor, and it can also be hand-drawn. Simply plug this system into the slim-designed solar accumulator, then control up to six systems or six groups of systems by radio remote. No electrician is necessary, and installation is fast and easy. The solar accumulator is designed for maximum solar collection while cleverly hidden by the drapery. Like all BTX systems, the Tumo Xcel Eco-line features flexible control options, including switch, RF remote and network control through dry contact closure, making it ideal for many different applications.

In today’s economy, we all want a choice. Even more, we DESERVE choice. The days of only three television networks and two car manufacturers are long gone. The same goes for the window coverings and home automation industries. Choice of fabric treatment, choice of high definition video screen, choice of remote lighting control… the list goes on and on. Reality is that we want what  suits us best, often not what people want to sell us. The catch is that we would like to fulfill those desires at a reasonable cost.

When it comes to network integration, BTX gives you that choice. Despite any obstacles, BTX offers a way to give you the flexibility you need to get the job done using the systems YOU want at a price you can afford.

If you find yourself in a situation where a house has been pre-wired, for Lutron for instance, but you prefer to use a customized automation solution from BTX for window coverings, simply check out the wiring diagrams on our website, and see how you can integrate these where many others can’t.

We’re often asked about the ability to take an existing Roman or Soft-Shade and motorize it using any number of systems. It’s something we specialize in! We can take practically any roman shade and make it into the perfect automated system for you, whether you prefer a Lutron, Somfy, BTX, Nice, or other motor and interface, we can do it! Reach us on our contact page for assistance on your project.

Not only is this system elegant and flexible, but it is very strong. Depending on requirements, it can be fitted with a motor capable of lifting fabric loads up to 150 lbs. Separate tube sections can be coupled onto a main tube section that carries the motor. This way the system can span as much as 27 ft. of width covered by uninterrupted Roman shade fabric.

BTX offers the B9 operating systems built to size and specification and are mounted onto a wooden base frame for your easy attachment of your fabric of choice. Lift points positioned to specification are easily adjustable to ensure smooth, even lift. BTX offers a wide choice of operating controls such as IR and RF remote controls, timers, sensors and interfaces for seamless integration with most home network controls.

Featuring an advanced headrail system, the Tumo Xcel can carry high-capacity loads but produces little more than a whisper level of sound. Unlike many DC-powered systems, the Tumo Xcel can be curved to specification, thus catering to bow or bay windows.

The Tumo Xcel also uses a convenient universal drive gear system. Not only can a single motor be installed as either a left or right mount without any need to disassemble the system, but it is also possible to install two motors to operate simultaneously in tandem, so as to double the maximum weight capacity. This allows for the Tumo Xcel to carry up to 120 lbs. of drapery fabric.

Applicable to both commercial or residential applications, the Tumo Xcel can do it all! Once installed, the Tumo Xcel can be operated by several control methods. Built-in RF technology offers wireless control with no expensive or cumbersome attachments. Low-voltage ports on the bottom of the motor allow for contact-closure operation, including switch and most network integrations. Last but not least is the user-friendly hand-draw function.  Utilizing cleverly designed electromagnetic disconnects, the Tumo Xcel can be operated easily by hand without damaging the hardware or internal control devices. This makes the Tumo Xcel exceptionally valuable in commercial or hospitality environments where new users frequently come in contact with a system but may not know it’s motorized or even how to operate it. This may also come in extremely handy to protect the system’s operation in residential environments where playful children may be involved.
