GENERAL
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
directive 1999/5/EC. A compliance declaration is available from the following address www.somfy.com/ce. (FX24)
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 xed 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 afx 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).

be reserved exclusively for use by the gate opener,•
have a minimum cross section of 1.5 mm• 2,
be provided with a protection device (10A fuse or circuit breaker) and a residual current device (30 mA),•
be tted with an omnipolar disconnection mechanism,•
be installed in line with applicable safety standards.•
Mounting the controller
Mount the FX24 on the gate post under the motor drive unit.

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 rst thousand •
operations, the screen displays "0000".
Pressing OK during the presentation phase lets the user move straight to the rst menu.
Choosing languages
This function is used to choose the programming
language on-screen:
Italian (ItA)•

Learning
- The gate’s travel learning is essential when commissioning the motorisation.
- The gate must be closed before learning is started.
- During learning, the obstacle detection function is not active. Remove any objects or obstacles and do
not allow any persons near or inside the operating range of the motorisation.
- To carry out an emergency stop during learning, use a memorised 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.
