What to do if the SOMFY Garage Door Opener control unit indicator light flashes 5 times?
If the SOMFY Garage Door Opener control unit's indicator light flashes 5 times, the electronics thermal safety has been activated. Allow the electronics to cool down until the indicator light comes on continuously.
Why is the SOMFY Garage Door Opener control unit indicator light flashing 2 times?
If the SOMFY Garage Door Opener control unit's indicator light flashes twice, the motor is waiting for auto-programming. Begin auto-programming of the gate leaf travel.
What does it mean when the SOMFY Garage Door Opener control unit indicator light flashes 4 times?
If the SOMFY Garage Door Opener control unit's indicator light flashes 4 times, there is a permanent control on the "START" of the electronic unit. Check the accessories connected to the electronic unit's "START" output.
Why is the SOMFY Garage Door Opener control unit indicator light flashing 1 time?
If the SOMFY Garage Door Opener control unit's indicator light is flashing once, it means the system is running on the backup battery. Check the mains power supply.
What does it mean when the SOMFY Garage Door Opener control unit indicator light flashes 6 times?
If the SOMFY Garage Door Opener control unit's indicator light flashes 6 times, it indicates a short circuit. This could be in the electronics unit's BUS output, the 24 V output, or the orange light output. Check the accessories connected to these outputs. It could also indicate a motor short circuit, so check the motor wiring.
Why does the SOMFY Garage Door Opener control unit indicator light flash 3 times?
If the SOMFY Garage Door Opener control unit's indicator light flashes 3 times, it indicates a problem with the photoelectric cells. Ensure that nothing is obstructing the cells and that they are correctly aligned. Also, check the cell wiring. If the cells are deliberately disconnected, perform the procedure “Deactivating automatic closing - returning to standard operation”.
What to do if the SOMFY Garage Door Opener control unit indicator light is off?
If the indicator light on your SOMFY Garage Door Opener control unit is off, it could be because the electronics unit is on standby. Press the button for 2 seconds to reactivate it. Alternatively, there might be no power supply to the control unit. Check the power supply and the power supply cable.
What does it mean if SOMFY SGS 501 control unit's indicator light flashes once?
If the control unit's indicator light flashes once, the system is operating using the backup battery. Check the mains power supply.
Why is my SOMFY Garage Door Opener not responding to the remote control?
If the SOMFY Garage Door Opener motors aren't responding to the remote, it could be due to several reasons. First, the remote control battery might be low, so check it. Second, the control unit aerial (wiring, position) may have issues. Also, external factors like electric pylons or metal walls might be interfering with the signal; consider fitting an offset aerial if this is the case. Finally, ensure the remote control is properly memorized. If not, you will need to memorize the remote control. You should also check the motor wiring.
