Operating Instructions
The SOMFY OXIMO RTS 30/17 motor is operated wirelessly via a Somfy RTS remote control. The integrated RTS receiver operates on a frequency of 433.42 MHz, utilizing 16 million options and rolling code technology for enhanced security.
Basic Operation:
- Up Button: Press to raise the blind/awning.
- Down Button: Press to lower the blind/awning.
- Stop/My Button: Press to stop the blind/awning at any desired position or to recall a pre-programmed "my" favorite position.
Programming "My" Position:
- Move the blind/awning to your desired intermediate "my" position using the Up or Down buttons.
- Press and hold the "My" button until the blind/awning jogs slightly. This saves the position.
- To recall this position, simply press the "My" button briefly.
For optimal control, it is recommended to use Somfy 3-button RTS controls (e.g., Ref 1.800.327).
Maintenance

- Regular Cleaning: Keep the blind or awning fabric clean according to its manufacturer's instructions. Ensure no debris obstructs the motor's movement.
