The Sky Control™ 5066 System by BTX is available for straight, horizontal or inclined skylight openings, as well as for customized curved atriums, barrel vaults, greenhouse facades and the like. It can be equipped with standard 30 watt motors or with more powerful 45 watt motors. Each shade features two full synchronous motors flanged onto the headrails at the stack position. The headrails can be spaced as far as 6 feet on center with the standard system and up to 10 feet with the heavy duty system.

System 5066 is equipped with telescopic travelers that are supported by wheeled carriers traveling the headrails. An endless loop Dymetrol® drive belt, rotating in each headrail, is driven by the motors. The telescoping rods are traversed by the action of the belt. The rods are inserted in pockets in the standing fabric and are completely hidden. The rods stack tightly in the end pockets, similar to a roman shade stack.

The travel length of the system can be up to 23 feet for unspliced systems. The opening can be either one-way or split from the center. Longer systems can be formed by splicing additional sections onto the headrails. As the travel length gets longer, overall allowable span width decreases proportionally. The maximum travel length is recommended not to exceed 23 feet, depending on span width and fabric weight.
