Introduction
Scenarios for your home
The Impresario Chronis RTS remote control lets you create your own scenarios to match your
needs (amount of light, degree of heat, simulating a presence, etc.). Whether wall mounted
in automatic mode or hand held in manual mode, your Impresario Chronis RTS remote control
will drive your products to reproduce the scenarios recorded at the right time. The animated
sequences used are called “Scenarios”.
Definitions
Scenarios
A scenario lets you define a particular atmosphere for your home by combining the individual
movements of various products.
In a scenario, some products will receive up orders while others will receive down orders.
Some will move to a so-called favourite position ”e“ (a favourite position must be
memorised ahead of time: refer to the instructions for the local control points or visit the web
site at www.mysomfy.com), while others will be unaffected.
This way, in just one move, you can set the desired position for all of your products.
Examples:
“Wake up” scenario
To wake-up softly, with just one move, all of the roller shutters in the living areas open
(kitchen, dining room, living room, etc.) while the shutter on the bedroom window will
move to your preset favourite position to let in a little light while retaining a cosy atmosphere.
The shutters for the children’s windows are not affected by this scenario to avoid waking
them right away.
“Sun” scenario
To keep your home cool through the height of the afternoon summer sun, the roller shutters
on the south-facing rooms move to the preset favourite position; the terrace awning is
lowered to cast a shadow on the living room window and to protect the furniture from the
harsh sunlight.
“Night time” scenario
To go to bed with peace of mind, this scenario lets you close all of the roller shutters and raise
the terrace awning, with just one touch of a key.
You can create up to 16 different scenarios to meet your needs and assign them the name of
your choice. Each scenario can be selected individually and run manually or run
automatically at a programmed time thanks to the built-in clock (for daily or weekly
programming).
Two preset scenarios are available as soon as your system is set into service:
• Open-sy: this scenario sends an up order to all registered products.
• Close-sy: this scenario sends a down order to all registered products.

QUICK START GUIDE
Daily programming (typical days)
Using the scenarios created, you can assign times to some of them
to create typical days. Every typical day can run up to four
scenarios a day. You can freely create and name up to six typical
days.
For example: “Weekday”, “Weekend”, “Away” days…
Two preset typical days are available as soon as you set your
system into service: “Work-sy” and “Home-sy” (described
in Table 2 in the “Programming” chapter).
Note: If your equipment includes solar sensors, the programming
of your typical days may include up to four solar sensor
changes of state (activation or deactivation) in addition to
the four scenarios. A day can therefore comprise four
scenarios and/or four changes in solar sensor state.
Weekly programming (typical weeks)
From the typical days programmed, you can make up typical
weeks. This way, for every day of the week, you can assign it a
typical day of your choice, or none at all.
The Impresario Chronis RTS remote control lets you create three
different typical weeks (Work, Vacation, Gone away…).
A preset typical week is available as soon as you set your system
into service: “Week-sy” (described in Table 2 in the “Programming” chapter).
Note: The preset programs in the Impresario Chronis RTS remote control automatically
integrate each new motor paired with the remote control. These programs can be
modified and deleted. If they are renamed or modified, they loose their capacity to
automatically integrate any new motor paired to the remote control.

PROGRAMMING
Setting into service and configuring
Prior conditions that must be met before setting into service
The Impresario Chronis RTS remote control must be set into service after all of the motor drive
systems are operational. The various motors must be individually set up and paired with a
local control unit. To get the full benefit from the functions offered by the Impresario Chronis
RTS remote control, we strongly recommend programming favourite positions ”e“ for the
motors where appropriate (refer to the instructions for the local control points or visit the web
site at www.mysomfy.com).
Refer to the “Installation” section for instructions on setting into service.
To customise your Impresario Chronis RTS remote control, you can assign names to all of your
scenarios, days or weeks. The names of the motors used by your installation can also be
customised. Wherever necessary, the appropriate data entry screen will be displayed.
Using the data entry screen
Select the desired character using the arrow keys (n) and validate by
pressing (i). The cancel key ( C) lets you delete an incorrect
character.
Select “Xx” and press (i) to choose a character type: upper or
lower case.
The arrow key ( Q) lets you access accented characters.
Once you have finished entering the name, validate with the (ok)
key.
TIP
• The (o ) keys let you move from one line of characters to the
next, faster.
• You can enter a new name in full (Enter name) or from
a preset, customisable list using (Choose name).

The clock built into the Impresario Chronis RTS remote control is used to assign times to the
previously created scenarios so as to make up “Typical days”. These “Typical days” can in turn
be used to make up “Typical weeks”.
In automatic mode, once the Impresario Chronis RTS remote control is set in its wall mount,
it becomes possible to select a “Typical day” or “Typical week”. The scenarios will then be run
automatically at the programmed times.
Daily programming (Typical days)
From among the scenarios created, select up to four scenarios and assign them a time in order
to create a typical day.
Six different “Typical days” can be created in this way.
Examples of typical days:
- 07:00: “Wake-up” scenario
- 08:30: “Morning” scenario
- 14:00: “Afternoon” scenario
- 22:00: “Evening” scenario
Weekly programming (Typical weeks)
From “Typical days”, the Impresario Chronis RTS remote control lets
you make up “Typical weeks”. For every day of the week, it becomes
possible to assign a “Typical day” from among the six previously
created days. For example: from Monday to Friday, the “Work” day
scenario will be run, while on Saturday and Sunday the “Weekend”
day scenario will be run.
Three different “Typical weeks” can be programmed in this way.
