OK it’s time to start installing,
let’s take it step by step
Battery powered
1. Wake up your blind motor
To activate your motor, press the motor button (Altus) or pin hole button (Sonesse) on the side of your roller blind. The blind ought to go up and down jogging. Keep in mind that you must charge your motor batteries before you begin.
Follow steps 1 through 10 to add each roller blind, including double and linked blinds, to your remote control one at a time. Avoid attempting to put them up at the same time. You can group blinds after you’ve added each one to your remote.
2. Pick your channel
To select the channel that will control your blind, click the channel button located at the bottom of a remote control with five channels. The channel you are on is indicated by the red light.
This step can be omitted for remote controls with one channel.
3. Assign your blind to the channel
Hold down the up and down buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds. Your blind will jog up and down, once your blind has been assigned to the channel.
Blinds won’t jog? See ‘I need some extra help’ at bottom of page.
4. Check your roll direction
Make sure your blinds are rolling in the correct direction by using the up or down button on your remote.
Holding down the “my” button for two seconds can cause your blinds to jog up and down if your roll direction is incorrect. Your blinds should now roll in the correct direction after another check.
5. Set your blind’s upper limit (part A)
To set the upper limit, press the up button until your blind rolls all the way up. To push your blind down if you go a bit too far, simply hit the down button.
6. Set your blind’s upper limit (part B)
A. Your blind will automatically begin to run downward if you hold down the down and my buttons at the same time. To stop the blind before it reaches the bottom, release the buttons and hit the my button.
7. Set your blind’s lower limit (part A)
A. To set the lower limit, press the down button until your blind rolls all the way down. Keep in mind that you can push your blind back up by using the up button if you go a little too far.
8. Set your blind’s lower limit (part B)
A. Your blind will run all the way up to your top limit if you simultaneously press the my and up buttons.
9. Confirm your end limits
For two seconds, hold down the “my” button until the blind jogs. Your upper and lower limits are now memorized by the control.
10. Finish your remote set up
To make your blinds jog, take a paperclip or pin and hit the program button on the remote’s rear for less than a second.
Try again by simply tapping the button if your blind doesn’t jog; pressing and holding the program button won’t work. Make sure the blind jogs are set up completely.
The Somfy remote is ready for you to use! To manage your blind, use the up and down buttons; to stop it from moving, use the my button.
Remember to follow steps 1 through 10 for each additional blind motor, one at a time, in order to configure your remote control for multiple blinds, including double and linked blinds. Then group them by following the steps in the Grouping your blinds tab of this guide.
