Somfy RTS Motor Programming Instructions
Motor Programming Instructions have been rewritten by https://www.AVOutlet.com
We rewrite the Somfy instructions in an effort to make things a little easier to follow. There are
however some subtle differences in the motors. Please refer to the included Somfy motor
specific instructions if something is not working. Feel free to let us know if something is found to
be incorrect.
Please Read and Follow These Instructions.
Please use the motor programming instructions provided here. The remote control
instructions can be used for reference but they are not as easy to follow. A copy of the
Somfy instructions are also provided for your reference.
Please read installation instructions and programming instructions completely prior to
proceeding with installation and programming. Failure to do so can result in damage to the
motor and or the shade.
Be prepared to stop the shade during programming. The programming step where you set the
first stop limit (upper or lower whichever you do first) will activate the motor to move without
stopping on its own. You will need to stop the motor at the next stop limit using the remote as
indicated. Failure to stop the shade can result in shade or motor damage.
The motors MUST be installed in the tube and the assembly must be mounted into brackets to
be able to program the motor.
Only apply power to the motor being programmed regardless if the other motors have been
programmed or not. This will prevent inadvertent interaction with other motors. This is not
possible for motors with built-in batteries like the R28WF, ST30WF etc. Motors with built-in
batteries must be put to sleep.
We recommend mapping out the installation before proceeding. This will reduce set-up time and
make life easier. Decide the channels and or additional remotes to be assigned to each shade
in the installation. Each shade should be completely programmed before moving to the next.
Have the necessary remotes and controls ready prior to proceeding.
All motors programmed to the same RTS channel will operate at the same time. If you want
individual control of the motor, you must use separate channels on multi-channel remotes or
separate single channel remotes
The remote controls are generally considered to be dummy devices as they do not store any
motor or programming information. The motors are the intelligent devices. The motors store the
shade operation limits in their memory and the motors also memorize the specific remotes or
channels assigned to control them. Each motor can have up to 12 remotes or channels
controlling them.
Note: The Telis 4 Remote Control is a 5 Channel Remote control. The 5
th
channel is all lights
on. The 5
th
channel by default is not a group channel. This channel is not automatically
assigned and must be programmed.
