1. Introduction
The Telis 6 Chronis RTS remote control transmitter allows you to control up to 6 end-products or
groups of end-products using Radio Technology Somfy (RTS).
The Telis 6 Chronis RTS can be used in 2 ways: in either manual or automatic mode.
Manual mode allows you to control end-products in the house in groups or individually, depending on
their assignments to the 6 groups on the remote control transmitter, called "channels". The channels,
numbered 1 to 6, can be customised, by assigning them names.
Automatic mode allows you to control the end-products assigned to the channels on the remote
control transmitter automatically, after having created the weekly and daily programs, called "automatic
orders". Up to 6 automatic orders can be programmed for each day of the week.

5. Commissioning
Before using the Telis 6 Chronis RTS, we recommend that each motor is programmed in advance
using an individual Telis 1 RTS type control point and that the limit switches of each motor are set.
However, like any RTS remote control transmitter, the Telis 6 Chronis RTS can be used for motor
commissioning operations (limit switch adjustment, etc.).
This manual only describes commissioning using an individual RTS control point such as Telis 1 RTS.
For commissioning with a different RTS control point, refer to the corresponding manual.
