1. INTRODUCTION
The J4 io actuator is designed to drive the external venetian blind, types 1 & 2.
What is io-homecontrol®?
The J4 io uses io-homecontrol®, the new universal and secure wireless communica-
tion protocol, shared by the major manufacturers in the world of home automation.
io-homecontrol® enables all comfort and security equipment to intercommunicate and be
actuated via a single control point.
The exibility and perfect compatibility of the io-homecontrol® system provides support for
you as your needs evolve. You can start by automating roller shutters, external venetian
blinds and the front door, then equip the outside awnings, the gate and garage door or
garden lighting with the io-homecontrol® system.
These scalable items of equipment are still compatible with the existing system, thanks to
io-homecontrol® technology, which ensures their interoperability.
For further information please visit the website www.io-homecontrol.com..
io-homecontrol® provides advanced and secure radio technology that is easy to install.
io-homecontrol® labelled products communicate with each other, improving comfort,
security and energy savings.

2. SAFETY
2.1. Safety and responsibility
- The motor, torque and operating time must be adjusted according to the complete installation.
- Only Somfy original accessories should be used (adapters, brackets, connectors, power cable, etc.).
- Fitting, testing, commissioning and repair of the installation must only be carried out by qualied personnel.
- Correct operation of the installation is only guaranteed if the installation and assembly have been carried out
according to best practices, if the electrical supply is adequate and if maintenance is carried out.
- The installer must also comply with the current standards and legislation in the country in which the product
is being installed, and inform his customers of the usage and maintenance conditions relevant to the product.
- The moving parts of the motors must be protected if operating at less than 2.50 m from the ground or another
surface.
- The installation must not be used if it shows any signs of damage (for example wear, damaged cables and
springs or ill adjusted end limits).
- The installation must be protected from all unauthorised use. Take preventive measures to avoid any spurious
operation.
- Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the equipment. Keep remote controls out of the
reach of children.
- This equipment is not intended for use by persons (including children) with impaired physical or mental capaci-
ties or those without the required knowledge or experience unless supervised by a person responsible for their
safety.
- Disconnect all the connection cables from the power supply before operating on the installation.
- Do not use the installation if operations (window cleaning for example) are being carried out nearby.
- Observe the assembly and use guidelines, in particular the safety instructions from the manufacturer of the
device to be used.
Subject to technical modications.
2.2. Specic safety advice
In addition to the safety instructions described in this guide, be sure to also observe the
instructions set out in the attached document "Safety instructions to follow and keep".
1) Switch off the mains supply for the external venetian
blind before performing any service operation in the
vicinity.
To avoid damaging the product:
2) Never immerse it in liquid!
3) Avoid impacts!
4) Do not drop it!
5) Never drill holes in it!
6) Avoid moving the blind if ice has formed on it.

Mounting inside the head rail Mounting outside the head rail
• The mounting of the J4 io plate inside the head rail is compatible with the following head rails
and shafts:
In order to x the plate inside the head rail, you may use double sided adhesive tape ref: 9016646.
Mounting the plate with double sided adhesive tape is guaranteed to temperatures from -30°C
to 70°C. However, to ensure proper adhesion over time, it is essential to stick the tape to a
clean surface.

5. COMMISSIONING
Programming the rst
Somfy local control
point
Only one motor should be powered at a time.
Switch on and follow procedure "a" or "b"
depending on the reaction of the blind:
a) The blind moves briey
The end limits are set and no
Somfy control point has been stored.
Go to the section entitled 5.5 "Programming the rst
Somfy io local control point".
or
b) The blind does not move
Press the Up or Down buttons and follow
procedure "c" or "d" depending on the reaction of the
blind:
c) The blind still does not move
The end limits are not set and no
Somfy control point has been stored.
Go to the section entitled 5.2 "Pre-programming the
Somfy io local control point".
or
d) The blind is fully raised or lowered
The end limits are set and the
Somfy control point has been stored.
Go to the section entitled "Operation".
5.2. Pre-programming the Somfy io local control point
The guide only describes commissioning using a Situo mobile io VB type Somfy io local control point
which provides greater precision when tilting the slats.
For commissioning using any other io control point, refer to the corresponding guide.
5.1. Identifying setting steps already completed
• Press the Up and Down buttons simultaneously.
The blind moves briey, the Somfy local
io control point is pre-programmed to the motor.
