SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This product, installed in accordance with this guide, complies with EN 12453 and EN 13241-1 standards.
The instructions referred to in the product Installation and Operating manuals are intended to meet the requirements of
property safety, personal safety and the above-mentioned standards.
Failure to comply with these instructions releases Somfy from any liability for damage that may be entailed.
We, Somfy, declare that this product is compliant with the essential requirements and other relevant stipulations of

This product can be used in the European Union and in Switzerland.
Warning
Important: Please comply with all instructions, for incorrect installation may cause serious injury.
Safety instructions
Before installing the motor drive system, make sure that the driven part is in good working order, that it is correctly
balanced and that it opens and closes correctly.
Ensure that danger areas (where pinching, cutting, trapping may occur) between the driven parts and fixed surrounding
parts due to the opening motion of the driven part are avoided.
Retain a clear 500 mm space behind each gate section when the gate is fully opened.
Any switch that does not lock into position (interphone, key switch, etc.) must be located in plain view of the driven part
but away from the moving parts.
Any switch installed must be at a minimum height of 1.5 meters and not be accessible to the public, except if it works
with a key.
Ensure that the motor drive system cannot be used with gate section including a wicket gate inhibiting motion
(unless the motor drive cannot operate with the wicket gate open).
After installation, make sure that the mechanism is correctly adjusted and that the protection system and any manual
release mechanism operate correctly.
Permanently affix the label describing the manual release mechanism close to its operating mechanism.
Wear protective glasses while performing drilling work.
We recommend providing the installation with a surge arrester (in compliance with standard NF C 61740, with a
maximum residual voltage of 2 kV).

Exit the active menu
The changes made are validated by pressing the OK button.
When the FX24 is switched on, the following information is displayed on-screen:
Somfy•
Product name•
the controller software version,•
the total number of open and close operations performed (a value displayed in thousands). For the first thousand•
operations, the screen displays "0000".
Pressing OK during the presentation phase lets the user move straight to the first menu.
Choosing languages
This function is used to choose the programming
language on-screen:
Italian (ItA)•
French (FrA)•
German (dEU)•
English (EnG)•

the Telis remote control. The red indicator
blinks.
The remote control is paired.
To exit the programming mode without pairing a remote control: Briefly press the "PROG" button on the controller.
Before starting up, check the electrical connections and the direction of motor rotation.
Position the gate half open.
When the button is pressed for the first time, the gate should open. If not, reverse the connections to the
electric motors.
Learning
Learning the gate's travel distance is a necessary step when setting the motor drive system into service.
During learning, the obstacle detection function is disabled. Remove all objects or obstacles and keep
people from approaching or placing themselves within the motor drive system's operating radius.
To perform an emergency stop during learning, use a paired remote control.
Before starting learning, move the gate by hand to place it in the closed position.
Re-engaging the motor drive system
[1] Lift the lock cover.
[2] Insert the release key and turn it counter clockwise by 90°.
[3] Check gate motion and the action of the limiting devices.
The "Suc" message is displayed showing that the operation has been performed correctly. If the operation is performed
in any other way, the "nSuc" error message is displayed and the operation is not performed.
