LOW VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS
DESCRIPTION
LINE VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS
The IGC system provides control of one or more motors in groups and/or individually from one or
more locations. This advanced yet simple to install modular control system can be activated
manually or automatically. The heart of the system is the IGC Motor Controller used for each
motor. However, greater economy can be obtained using the IGC/3N1 version for those jobs
that call for controlling at least three motors individually or in groups.
The IGC is a very flexible control system that can be configured in a variety of ways (i.e.,
individual window control, floor control, total building control, etc.) to meet the requirements of
your customers.
The Individual-Group Control System is compatible with other SOMFY controls (i. e., Remote
Control, IntelliS Timer, Decorator Somfy-Matic , Comfort Control, etc.) and security, lighting, and
HVAC systems.
The Individual IGC Controller has an added feature. It is equipped with a dry contact input that
can interface with a window alarm system. One typical application is for casement windows;
when the window is open, the motor will not operate. This will help prevent damage to window
coverings.

IGC CONNECTIONS
1. Individual ports (IND) control only one output. The Decorator
IGC Switch connects to the control via 6 conductor modular
cable.
2. A switch connected to the Master ports (MAS) operates all the
motors on the control board as a group. This port can also be
used to connect a number of IGCs or IGC/3N1s together to form
a group.
3. For group only control from an external device, low voltage
terminals have been provided on both the single IGC and
IGC/3N1. A momentary contact between the MAS UP and
COMMON terminals will activate the Master Up command.
Similarly, connecting the MAS DWN and COMMON terminals will
activate the Master Down command.
4. SINGLE IGC ONLY: The N-C (normally closed) INPUT terminal
is for a normally closed contact connected to a casement
window or french door. When the door or window opens, this
contact opens and disables the down direction. DO NOT
REMOVE FACTORY INSTALLED JUMPER IF THIS FEATURE IS
NOT USED.
