1. Brief introduction to the Telis 4 RTS remote
control
1.1 What is the Telis 4 RTS for?
The Telis 4 RTS is a wireless radio remote control compatible only
with products tted with Radio Technology Somfy (RTS): roller shutter
motors, awning motors, etc.
The Telis 4 RTS makes it possible to control several products individually
or all at the same time using just this one remote control handset. This is
made possible by the Telis 4 RTS using a 5 channel radio system, each
channel being identied by the indicator lights. The Telis 4 RTS also
makes it possible to control several products at once.
1.2 A few denitions
Installation
All of the Radio Technology Somfy products a house is equipped with.
Favourite position:
The favourite position is your ideal position for your product in certain
common situations, for example, your awning partially extended when
you are dining beneath it in summer but don’t want to deprive your
houseplants of sunlight; shading your computer screen from glare by
partially closing your interior window blinds/curtains etc.

The Telis 4 RTS allows independent or simultaneous control of different
products.
This functionality is possible thanks to a 5 channel system, identied
by indicator lights: each channel corresponds to an individual remote
control and is associated with one or several indicator lights.
Each channel is independent and controls a product or group of
products. Navigation between the 5 channels is carried out using the
Selection button (E).

5.2 Choice of products to be controlled
Note:
This section is illustrated with a specic example to explain the opera-
tion of the Telis 4 RTS and its channels. The blinds identied here can
be replaced with roller shutters or a combination of blinds and roller
shutters.
5.2.1 Context of use
To facilitate explanations, we will use a group of 4 blinds in a home of
the following types:
Kitchen blind,•
Study blind,•
Living Room blind No.1 called Living Room bind 1,•
Living room blind No.2 called Living Room blind 2.•
Each of these blinds are tted with an individual control point.
The purpose in installing the Telis 4 RTS is to be able to control these
4 blinds independently but also on certain occasions all 4 blinds at the
same time.
In order to control these 4 blinds with the Telis 4 RTS, each blind must be
allocated a channel and then all 4 blinds allocated to the fth channel.
5.2.2 Allocating a channel to a blind
Note: This step is to choose which chan-
nel to allocate to which product. It is not
to make the allocation itself.
-Choosing which channel to associate
to which blind:
Channel 1: Kitchen Blind•
Channel 2: Study Blind•
Channel 3: Living Room Blind 1•
Channel 4: Living Room Blind 2•
Channel 5: all 4 Blinds - Kitchen, •
Study, Living Room 1 and Living
Room 2.
Add these names to the identication
-
sticker.
-Apply the sticker to the back of the Telis
4 RTS as a guide.

6. Adding a new Telis 4 RTS
6.1 Identifying the original control point
6.1.1 Installation recommendations
To add a Telis 4 RTS, use the control point linked to the product -
which controls only this product: pressing the Down or Up button only
causes movement of the product to which the new Telis 4 RTS must
be connected.
Caution! If there is no longer a control point linked to the product (all
the control points are broken or have been lost), contact the Somfy
assistance service.
N.B.: These instructions only describe the installation procedure for an addi-
tional Telis 4 RTS of the "individual control" type. Refer to the instructions for
advanced functions available on the Internet (address on the back cover of
these instructions) to install a control referred to as "group control".
On some roller products, inputs in programming mode and the addition
-
or deletion of a control point are signalled by a series of beeps emitted
by the motor. On other products, this is signalled by a brief movement
of the product.
Caution: If the product does not emit a beep or make a brief movement,
please contact the Somfy assistance service.
Place the product in the midway position before installing the new
-
Telis 4 RTS so that the movements can be easily seen.
6.1.2 Original control points
Find the original control point in the list below and refer to the para--
graph given to add the new Telis 4 RTS:
1) Control point xed to the wall with a
single button, called a One-touch
point, see paragraph 6.2;
2) Control point xed to the wall with
Up/STOP/Down buttons, called a
