1.PRIOR INFORMATION
1.1.Field of application
The Sonesse 30/24 drives are designed to drive all types of interior blinds and
projection screens up to 2 Nm except pantographs.
The installer, who must be a motorisation and home automation professional, must
ensure that the motorised product is installed in accordance with the standards in
force in the country in which it is installed such as EN13120 relating to interior blinds.
1.2.Liability
Before installing and using the drive, please read these instructions carefully.
In addition to the instructions provided in this guide, please also comply with the
instructions provided in the attached Safety instructions document.
The drive must be installed by a home motorisation and automation
professional, in accordance with Somfy’s instructions and the applicable
regulations in the country of installation.
Any operation of the drive outside the field of application described above is
prohibited. Such use, and any failure to comply with the instructions given in this guide
and in the attached Safety instructions document, absolves Somfy of any liability and
invalidates the warranty.
After installing the drive, the installer must inform his customers of the operating and
maintenance conditions for the drive and must provide them with the operating and
maintenance instructions, and the attached Safety instructions document. Any After-
Sales Service operation on the drive must be performed by a home motorisation and
automation professional.
Never begin installing without first checking the compatibility of this product with the
associated equipment and accessories. If in doubt when installing this product and/or
to obtain additional information, contact a Somfy representative or visit the website
www.somfy.com.
Using this drive with any power supply which is not listed in the attached
"Compatibility matrix" document or in the drive leaflet shall also render invalid any
Somfy warranty and release Somfy from any liability.

2.INSTALLATION
WARNING
• These instructions are mandatory for the home motorisation and
automation professional installing the drive.
• Comply with current standards and legislation in the country of installation.
CAUTION
• Never drop, knock or puncture the drive or immerse it in liquid.
• Install an individual control point for each drive.
• To insure optimized silent operation, the gaps between the drive, the
accessories, the tube and the tube end piece must be minimized.
• Never cut or remove the cable label.
2.1.Assembly
2.1.1.Replace the head cover with a different color (Optional)
NOTICE
Head has interchangeable covers to fit with the fabric.
1] Unclip the cover.
2] Clip the new cover on the head.
2.1.2.Preparing the drive
CAUTION
• Sonesse 30 DCT : interior diameter of the tube has to be Ø27.7 mm or
greater.
• The crown is mandatory.

1] Fit the accessories required to integrate
the drive into the tube:
ð Fit the crown (a) and the wheel (b) to
the drive.
2] Measure the length (L) between the inner
edge of the drive head and the rim of the
wheel.

2.1.3.Preparing the tube
1] Cut the tube to the required length.
2] Deburr the tube and remove the debris.
1] 2]
2.1.4.Assembling the drive-tube
1] Slide the drive into the tube. For tubes
with a smooth interior, position the cut
notch on the crown.
2] The wheel must be locked in place to
prevent any movement in the tube.
1]
2]
L
▪ This can be achieved by fastening the tube to the wheel using self-tapping
screws, or steel pop rivets, placed between 5mm and 15mm from the outer
edge of the wheel, regardless of the tube.
▪ or by using a wheel lock, for non-smooth tubes.
CAUTION
The screws or pop rivets must only be fastened on the wheel and not on the
drive.

2.1.5.Installing the drive-tube assembly
CAUTION
• The motorised product must not be compressed between the brackets.
• Do not use the plastic cross without the metal bracket adapter.
▪ The drive can be fixed directly onto the drive bracket (the screw holes are
spaced 29mm apart). Use 2screws (3.5 x 9mm). A manual tightening torque of
1Nm is recommended.
▪ Drive plates are also available in the current
catalogue (Select the correct drive plate
adapted to the bracket and check the
torque requirements in the system). Use
the 2 screws (3 x 6mm) delivered with the
motor plate. A manual tightening torque of
0,3Nm is recommended.
1] Screw the bracket adapter to the drive
head.
2] Install and fix the drive-tube assembly
onto the end bracket (c) and onto the
drive bracket (d).
dc
CAUTION
• Do not let the tube hanging by the head side only.
• Ensure that the drive-tube assembly is secured onto the end bracket. This
operation prevents the tube-drive assembly from coming out of the end
bracket attachment.
• Light gap reduced: Do not pinch cable or be careful they are not in contact
with moving parts.
