4. Setup and Installation

Installation should be carried out by a professional. The motor is supplied with a cable but without adaptation, output ring, or RTS transmitter.

4.1. Mechanical Installation

1. Mounting: Securely mount the motor within the roller shutter or blind tube. Ensure the central bore (diameter 12 x 20 mm with a 24.5 x 2 shoulder) and the crank shaft (square 6 mm or hexagonal 7 mm) are correctly aligned.
2. Limit Switch Access: The C.S.I. casing allows access to the limit switch buttons from both sides using the supplied adjustment tool.

4.2. Electrical Connection

1. Power Supply: Connect the motor to a 230V power supply. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
2. Cable: The motor comes with a detachable cable for easier maintenance.

4.3. Limit Switch Adjustment

The limit switches define the upper and lower stopping points of your roller shutter or blind.

1. Access: Use the adjustment tool to access the limit switch buttons on the C.S.I. casing.
2. Adjustment: Follow the specific instructions provided with the motor for precise adjustment of the upper and lower limits using the push buttons. The cage capacity is 34 turns.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Remote Control Operation

The integrated RTS radio allows for control via compatible Somfy RTS transmitters.

1. Pairing: Refer to your RTS transmitter's manual for instructions on pairing it with the motor. The motor can store up to 12 control points or group levels, including 3 RTS sensors.
2. Basic Commands: Use the UP, DOWN, and STOP buttons on your remote control to operate the shutter/blind.

5.2. Setting a 'My' (Preferred) Position

The motor allows you to set an intermediate 'preferred' position.

1. Move to Desired Position: Use the remote control to move the shutter/blind to your desired intermediate position.
2. Set 'My' Position: Press and hold the 'my' button on your remote control until the shutter/blind jogs slightly. This saves the current position as your preferred 'my' position.
3. Recall 'My' Position: A short press of the 'my' button will move the shutter/blind to the saved preferred position.

5.3. Emergency Manual Override

In case of a power outage, the integrated emergency control allows manual operation.

1. Access: Locate the manual override mechanism on the motor.
