1. Brief introduction to the Situo RTS control
point
1.1 What is the Situo RTS for?
The Situo RTS is a wall-mounted, wireless, radio control point. It is
compatible only with products tted with Radio Technology Somfy (RTS)
(e.g. roller shutter motors, blinds motors, etc).
The Situo RTS is used as an individual control to control a single product
(e.g. one roller blind) at a time.
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, your awnings or blinds partially closed to shield
your computer from the afternoon sunlight.

2. Safety - Important information
2.1 Installation and commissioning
Before installing and using the Situo RTS, please carefully read these
instructions, which describe how to install, commission and operate the
Situo RTS.
Never begin installing without rst checking the compatibility of the Situo
RTS with the associated equipment and accessories.
Any incorrect use will invalidate the warranty and Somfy's liability.
2.2 Operating
Somfy recommends that at least one control point is located close to -
the product or group of products.
Do not allow children to play with the xed control points. Keep remote
-
controls out of the reach of children.
Monitor the product (especially roller shutter/awning/garage door/gate)
-
while it is moving, especially during commissioning of the Situo RTS
and keep people at a distance until the product is completely closed.
Make sure the power supply to the roller shutter/awning is turned off
-
before any maintenance operation in the vicinity of the product (for
example, when cleaning windows near the blind).
Avoid moving the product if ice has formed in it, unless the motor is
-
tted with anti-freeze protection.
Do not leave the product near a window in full sun: the Situo RTS
-
cannot withstand temperatures above 60°C.
Do not immerse or soak the Situo RTS in any liquid.
-
Only use maintenance products recommended by Somfy (see para--
graph 8.4).
Frequently check the product (e.g. blind) to detect any defects in
-
balance or any signs of wear. Do not use the product if a repair or
adjustment is required.
2.3 Environment
Damaged electrical or electronic products, such as used batteries,
should not be disposed of with household waste. Please take them to
a collection point or an approved centre to ensure they are recycled
correctly.

5. Adding a new Situo RTS
5.1 Identifying the original control point
5.1.1 Installation recommendations
To add a Situo RTS, use the control point linked to the product -
which controls only this product: pressing the up or down button only
causes movement of the product to which the new Situo 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 assis-
tance service.
On some products, inputs in programming mode and adding or dele-
-
ting 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 into the midway position before installing the new
-
Situo RTS so that the movements can easily be seen.
