5. Adding a new Telis Soliris RTS
5.1 Identifying the original control point
5.1.1 Installation recommendations
To add a Telis Soliris 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 Soliris 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.: This guide only describes the installation procedure for an addi-
tional Telis Soliris RTS of the "individual control" type. Refer to the
instructions for advanced functions available on the Internet (address
on the back cover of this guide) to install a control referred to as "group
control".
On some 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.
Note: 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 Soliris RTS so that the movements can be easily seen.
Check that a Sun sensor is linked to the product.
