The Slim io Receiver Screen + Plug is a receiver equipped with io homecontrol® Radio Technology.
It is used to control all types of external vertical blinds with standard motors supplied with 230V
(please contact your dealer for further information). The Slim io Receiver Screen + Plug is used to
open and close external vertical blinds.
Its small size enables it to be discretely installed near the product it is controlling through a direct
supply cable connection.
The Slim io Receiver Screen + Plug can be used as:
• individual control - one Slim io Receiver Screen + Plug io is controlled by one control point,
• multiple control - one Slim io Receiver Screen + Plug is controlled by several control points,
• group control - several Slim io Receiver Screen + Plug are controlled by a single control point.
The Slim io Receiver Screen + Plug can be controlled either by one control point or by an automatic
control device.
1.2. LIABILITY
Before installing and using the receiver, please read these instructions carefully. In addition to the
instructions provided in this guide, please also comply with the instructions set out in the enclosed
Safety instructions document.
The receiver must be installed by a home motorisation and automation professional, in accordance
with Somfy’s instructions and the applicable regulations in the country of installation.
Any operation of the receiver outside the scope of application described above is prohibited. Such
operation shall exclude Somfy from all liability and invalidate the Somfy warranty, as will any failure
to comply with the instructions given herein and in the enclosed Safety instructions document.
After installing the receiver, the installer must inform his customers of the operating and
maintenance conditions for the receiver and must pass the operating and maintenance
instructions on to them, as well as the enclosed Safety instructions document. Any After-Sales
Service operation on the receiver requires intervention by a home motorisation and automation
professional.
Should any doubt arise during installation of the receiver or for additional information, consult a
Somfy contact or visit www.somfy.com.

2.2. FITTING THE SLIM IO RECEIVER SCREEN + PLUG
Warning
Comply with current standards and legislation when installing.
Attention
The Slim io Receiver Screen + Plug must be installed, protected from rain and in clement
weather conditions, out of sight and out of the reach of children.
1) Turn off the power supply.
2) Disconnect the motor cable quick connection (A) from the
power supply cable quick connection (B).
3) Connect the Slim io Receiver Screen + Plug between the motor
cable (A) and the power supply cable (B).
• Motor = motor side (A)
• Supply 230V = power supply side (B)
4) Lock the securing hooks (C).
Attention
Ensure that the two quick connections are engaged correctly.
5) Place the Slim io Receiver Screen + Plug in the awning bracket
to conceal it.
6) Fit the Slim io Receiver Screen + Plug (using rilsan cables for example).

3. WIRING
Attention
• Cables routed through a metal internal wall must be protected and insulated by sleeving or
sheathing.
• Secure the cables to prevent any contact with moving parts.
• If the receiver is used outdoors and if the power supply cable is of the H05-VVF type, run the
cable in a UV-resistant duct, e.g. trunking.
• Leave the receiver power supply cable accessible: it must be easily replaceable.
Warning
Always make a loop in the power supply cable to prevent water from entering the receiver.
To ensure that the radio signal is transmitted correctly, it is necessary to pull the Slim io Receiver
Screen + Plug supply cable out of the motorised product by at least 30cm.
4. COMMISSIONING
This guide only describes commissioning using a Somfy io local control.
For commissioning using any other io control point, refer to the corresponding guide.
Prerequisite: The end limits of the motor are already set.
4.1. IDENTIFYING SETTING STEPS ALREADY COMPLETED
Only one motor should be powered at a time.
Switch on and follow procedure 4.1.1 or 4.1.2, depending on the
reaction of the motorised product.
