To Adjust Limits
To change the limit: Move the shade to it’s current lower limit position and let it stop. Press the UP and
DOWN buttons simultaneously until the shade jogs, then release. Adjust to a new lower limit position.
Press the MY (stop) button until the shade jogs, then release. Check new limit.
To change the upper limit: Move the shade to it’s current upper limit position and let it stop. Press the
UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously until the shade jogs, then release. Adjust to a new upper limit
position. Press the MY (stop) button until the shade jogs, then release. Check new limit.
To add a remote/channel or sun and wind sensor: First press the programming button on the back of the
already programmed remote until the shade jogs. Then press the programming button on the remote that you
would like to add until the shade jogs. Check it.
To reset the motor: you will need to disconnect power (120vac) for 2 seconds, reconnect for 10 seconds,
disconnect for another 2 seconds and reconnect. The shade should start to move and then stop on it’s own
(If this does not happen, continue to perform the disconnects until it does). Once the shade stops moving
on it’s own, press and hold the programming button on the back of the remote and count to en without
letting go. The shade should jog twice.

This document provides visual reference guides for programming Somfy Altus 6 and RTS CMO motors, outlining step-by-step instructions for initial setup, limit adjustments, adding remotes/sensors, and resetting the motors.

Function Description

The Somfy Altus 6 and RTS CMO motors are designed for automated window coverings, allowing users to control the movement of shades or blinds. The programming process involves setting upper and lower limits for the shade's travel, ensuring it stops at desired positions. The system supports remote control operation, and can be expanded with additional remotes, channels, or sun and wind sensors for enhanced automation.

Important Technical Specifications

  • Power Supply: 120VAC (for motor reset procedure).
  • Motor Type: Altus 6 (for standard programming) and RTS CMO (for specific programming with depressed limits).
  • Control Interface: Remote control with UP, DOWN, MY (stop), and Program buttons.
  • Feedback Mechanism: Motor "jogs" (brief movement) to confirm commands and settings.

Usage Features

Initial Programming (Altus 6 Motor):

  1. Initiate Programming: Press UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously until the shade jogs.
  2. Check Direction: Press and hold DOWN. If the motor moves out momentarily, the direction is correct. To change direction, press and hold MY (stop) until the motor jogs.
  3. Set Lower Limit: Bring the motor to the desired upper limit. Press and hold MY and DOWN until the shade moves down, then release. Stop the motor at the desired lower limit using UP or DOWN buttons for fine adjustment.
  4. Set Upper Limit: Press and hold MY (stop) and UP to move the motor to the desired upper limit position, then release. The motor will stop at the original upper point; adjust if necessary.
  5. Confirm Limits: Press and hold MY (stop) until the shade jogs to confirm the limit setting.
  6. Activate User Mode: Press and hold the Program button on the back of the transmitter until the motor jogs. The motor will now operate in a maintained fashion. Double-check limits.

Initial Programming (RTS CMO Motor):

  1. Prepare Motor: Ensure limits are depressed in the RTS CMO motor.
  2. Initiate Programming: Press UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously until the motor jogs.
  3. Check Direction: Press and hold DOWN. If the motor moves out momentarily, the direction is correct. To change direction, press and hold MY (stop) until the motor jogs.
  4. Set Upper Limit: Press and hold UP to move the motor to the desired UPPER limit position, then release. Press and release the UPPER limit button on the motor.
  5. Set Lower Limit: Press and hold DOWN to move the motor to the desired lower limit position, then release. Press and release the lower limit button on the motor.
  6. Activate User Mode: Press and hold the Program Button on the back of the transmitter until the motor jogs. The motor now operates in maintained fashion. Double-check limits.

Adjusting Limits (Altus 6 Motor):

  • Lower Limit Adjustment: Move the shade to its current lower limit position and let it stop. Press UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously until the shade jogs, then release. Adjust to a new lower limit position. Press MY (stop) until the shade jogs to confirm.
  • Upper Limit Adjustment: Move the shade to its current upper limit position and let it stop. Press UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously until the shade jogs, then release. Adjust to a new upper limit position. Press MY (stop) until the shade jogs to confirm.

Adjusting Limits (RTS CMO Motor):

  • To change limit settings, press the MY (stop) button on the remote. Ensure the limit is depressed into the motor. Then, repeat steps 3 or 4 of the initial programming, but note that the motor operates in a maintained fashion. Therefore, only momentary presses of the UP or DOWN buttons are needed to move the motor, and the MY (stop) button must be pressed to stop it at the desired limit.

Adding a Remote/Channel or Sun and Wind Sensor:

  1. Press the programming button on the back of the already programmed remote until the shade jogs.
  2. Press the programming button on the remote or sun/wind sensor you wish to add until the motor jogs.

Maintenance Features

Resetting the Motor:

  1. Disconnect power (120VAC) for 2 seconds.
  2. Reconnect for 10 seconds.
  3. Disconnect for another 2 seconds.
  4. Reconnect power. The shade should start to move and then stop on its own. (If this doesn't happen, repeat the disconnect/reconnect sequence until it does).
  5. Once the shade stops moving, press and hold the programming button on the back of the remote until the motor jogs twice.
