Then to set the preferred position, press and hold the “my” button until the shade jogs. To do so I’ll need to set the shade in motion by pressing the down arrow, I will then press the “my” button to stop the shade at the halfway point. In this example, I’ll set the preferred position at the halfway point. It’s also possible to program a preferred position. Step 9: Setting a Preferred “My” Position Should you wish to stop the shade at any point, simply press the “my” button to stop the shade. The shade will automatically stop at the upper limit, or stop point. The shade will automatically stop at the lower limit, or stop point. To lower the shade press the down button. The programming is now complete, the remote may now be used to operate the shade in user mode. Then using a small screwdriver, or paperclip, press and hold the button until the shade jogs. To do so, locate the programming button on the back of the remote control. The sixth step is exiting programming mode. The upper and lower limits, or stop points, are now confirmed. To do so, press and hold the "my" button for two seconds. The fifth step is confirming the upper and lower limits, or stop points. Step 5: Confirming Both Upper and Lower Limits Be sure to press the “my” button slightly before pressing the up button, this will send the shade to the desired upper limit that has been previously programmed. To set the lower limit or stop point, press the “my” and up buttons simultaneously. You may adjust by pressing the up or down arrows. Press the “my” button to stop the shade at the desired lower limit or stop position. Be sure to press the “my” button slightly before pressing the down button, this will move the shade in a downward position so as to set the lower limit or stop point. Now that the desired upper limit or stop point has been set we’ll continue with this step by pressing the “my” and down button simultaneously. For demonstration purposes we’re stopping the shade here, however typically the shade would be stopped at the topmost portion of the window. Release the button and the shade will stop. To do so, press and hold the up button until the shade reaches the most desired upward limit or stop position. The third step is setting the upper limit, or stop position. Press and hold the “my” button for two seconds until the shade jogs. If this is not the case you’ll need to reverse the direction of the shade. To do this press and hold the down button to confirm the shade is moving in the down direction. The second step is to confirm the direction of the shade. A jog is simply a brief movement of the shade. So to initiate programming we’re going to press and hold the up and down buttons simultaneously until the shade jogs. Let’s refer to the limits as the shade stop position. Now all motors are shipped in factory mode, which means neither the upper or lower limits have been set. The first step is to initiate programming. The same steps can be performed using any other single or five channel version. The remote that we’ll be using is the Telis single channel RTS pure. This video will detail the steps involved in programming the limits for any Radio Technology Somfy (RTS) motor, whether it be battery powered, plug-in, or hard-wired. Somfy manufactures a variety of products for interior window coverings, awnings and rolling shutters. Press and hold the programming button on the back of the remote for one jog and then let go.Welcome to Somfy’s programming video. Next, locate your remote and select the channel (if mult-channel) that you’d like to program to operate the motor. Once the pinhole on the motor has been located, insert a paperclip for one jog (which is a quick up and down motion) and then let go. If you are not able to locate the pinhole, please contact Somfy customer service at 1-800-22SOMFY. If your window covering does not respond, refer to steps below:įirst, confirm you are able to access the reset pinhole on the motor head without removing the window covering from the brackets. In user mode, the window covering will operate by briefly pressing the up or down buttons on your transmitter. With the paperclip, press and hold the programming button on the back of the transmitter until the window covering jogs. To enable user mode, you need your Somfy remote and a paperclip or similar device. The first step is to try enabling user mode. NOTE: If other controls are already programmed to the motorized window covering, please see instructions for “Adding a Control.” If this is the first control to be programmed to your motorized window coverings, follow the steps below:
