1) Provide power to the motor.
Remove cap as shown in Fig. (2) and depress both limit switch
buttons until they lock in the down position.
To assign the transmitter to communicate with the motor, push the
UP and DOWN buttons on the transmitter simultaneously until the
motor jogs briefly up and down then release. See Fig. (3).
2) Check the direction of operation.
The DOWN button should correspond with the down direction of the end product (for awnings DOWN extends the
awning).
If the direction is wrong, press the STOP button on the transmitter as shown in Fig. (4) until the motor jogs. Check
the direction again to make sure it is correct.
3) Setting the UP and DOWN limits
Press the UP button of the transmitter until the end product
reaches the required UP position, then stop it.
Unlock the UP limit switch on the motor head by pressing
and releasing it. The UP limit is now set.
Repeat the above operation to set the DOWN limit.
4) Recording the settings on your transmitter
Press the programming button on the back of the transmitter
and release when the product jogs briefly UP and DOWN.
The transmitter is now memorized into the motor.
Note: On 4 channel transmitters, verify the desired channel
selection before pressing the programming button.

Operator Wiring Considerations
Because of the type of motor (Asynchronous with built-in
capacitor) and the built-in limit switches, it is important to
follow two important recommendations to assure proper
operation of the motorized systems - SOMFY Operators
are not universal motors.
1. Do Not Wire SOMFY Operators in Parallel (Does not
apply to RTS or ILT motors). Parallel Wiring Means:
Several Operators are Wired to Only One Electrical
Contact Per Direction of Rotation.
There will be constant feedback from one motor to
another, so stopping points will not be stable and there is a
risk of motor burn out.
Correct:
Correct wiring solution is to use a double pole, double
throw, center off switch which would isolate both motors.
2. Do Not Control One SOMFY Operator from Several
Locations Without Using Proper Controller.
Incorrect:
Motor A stops at its limit in direction 2 before Motor B.
Current in Motor B feeds back to motor A through capacitor
C2 and microswitches M3 and M1. Both operators keep
rotating in opposite directions at reduced power.
Correct:
Possible problem: When switch (1) is turned on, the motor
will begin running in direction 1. As it reaches its limit, the
microswitch M1 will open. If, at the same moment in time
switch (2) is turned on, the motor will operate in the opposite
direction. This is why we recommend the use of momentary
switches with the Multi-Switch Command (MSC).
Incorrect:
The microswitch M1 closes, shortcircuiting the capacitor
which is loaded at its maximum voltage (180V). As a result
the microswitch M1 is damaged.
Solution: Use relays to build priorities between controls
sending opposite signals. Do not use a standard "light"
switch as a motor control.

NOTE: SOMFY Control Systems are designed to comply
with these two basic criteria and assure reliable operation
of motorized systems. Non-compliance to these two basic
principles voids the SOMFY warranty.
The operator is connected to a 120V-60HZ power source through a single
pole (or double pole), double throw, center off switch.
