Wireless Remote Control

The new SOMFY Wireless Remote Control is a single motor control designed for residential use. This unit features an integrated radio receiver and input terminals for an optional low voltage switch. For security and convenience, both transmitter and receiver are addressable, with over 1000 possible codes. The Wireless Remote Control is packaged in a weatherproof enclosure and includes watertight strain-relief fittings for wires entering the box.

This single motor control is ideal for both new construction and home improvement, installing fast and easy near the motor and reducing overall wiring costs. It uses a hand-held radio transmitter that features UP, DOWN, and STOP buttons. An individual-group effect can be achieved with low voltage switches using two methods; addressing all transmitters and receivers alike and maintaining individual switches for each motor, or interconnecting the switch line and maintaining unique transmitter/receivers for each motor.
The Wireless Remote Control should be mounted as close to the motor as possible. If mounted outside, ensure that the connections are facing down to avoid rain seepage.

2. Make sure to use included watertight strain relief fittings to maintain the weatherproofing of the enclosure. Please straighten the radio antenna. Avoid mounting the antenna parallel to AC lines.

3. If using the optional low voltage switch, it should be mounted no more than 100 feet from the control.

4. Ensure the address code of both transmitter and receiver are identical. If not, simply change the switch settings on the selector of the transmitter or receiver to make them the same.

5. Pressing the DOWN button on the radio transmitter or low voltage switch will move the window treatment down or out. If the motor does not move in the correct direction, turn off the circuit breakers and reverse the red and black wires of the motor.

6. Pressing the STOP button on the radio transmitter or low voltage switch will stop the motor in its present position.
