centerpiece of consumers’ lives, the home. It also represents
Somfy’s mission, bringing homes to life by creating movement
for all openings and allowing consumers to enjoy life’s daily
pleasures for a better quality of life.

How Does It Work?

Simply press a button on a remote control or wall switch
and window coverings move with ease. There is no need
to point or aim the transmitter at the covering because
Radio Technology Somfy (RTS) is omni-directional.
And just like a garage door opener, the radio waves travel
through walls.

Available with hand-held remotes, wireless wall switches, table
top controls and timers

No need to aim the control at the motorized window covering, the
radio signal travels through walls similar to a garage door opener

Offers a range of 65 ft. for easy operation

No extra wires are needed

®

Provides the ability to control all motorized window coverings
individually and/or by group with one control

Flexibility to change user preferences with simplified programming

Available in single and multi-channel versions

Over 10 million installations worldwide

Secure operation with a rolling code reducing interference with
other radio products

Offers simplified integration with home automation systems

FACTORY MODE

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Motors are shipped in FACTORY MODE without limit settings and transmitter
Id’s. Power must ONLY be connected to current window covering being
programmed. All other window coverings must be disconnected from their
respective power while programming.

Note - If motor is 120V AC hardwired and cannot be disconnected, please

!

contact an electrician prior to calling Somfy customer service for assistance.

Connect Power To Motor

With the motor installed in window covering, connect power to the
motor (120V AC, or 12V DC or 24V DC transformer or 12V battery wand).

PROGRAMMING MODE

While programming, window covering should not be inactive for

!

longer than 2 minutes or motor will exit PROGRAMMING MODE.

Initiate Programming

On the transmitter, press and hold both the UP and DOWN
simultaneously until the window covering jogs. A jog is a brief up and
down or in and out motion. In PROGRAMMING MODE, the window
covering will move only when the UP or DOWN is held (or
momentary fashion).

Damage to motorized window covering and injury may occur as a result.

During installation, it is mandatory to test and verify the motorized
window covering operates in accordance to the commands from
hand-held transmitter.

Installer or user must verify the following Hand-Held
transmitter (DOWN) command:

Awning Installations: = awning moves outward or extends.
Shade/Shutter Installations: = shade/shutter moves downward
or closes.

Check Directions

Press and hold UP or DOWN . When pressing DOWN product

QUICK PROGRAMMING GUIDE FOR LT RTS CMO MOTOR

FACTORY MODE

This mode allows for rotation direction modification and setting
of the end limits.

DESCRIPTION

The LT RTS CMO is designed for rolling blinds, awnings and shutters.
The LT RTS CMO must be programmed with the Inteo family of transmitters.
The LT RTS CMO motors are compatible with a Soliris and Eolis RTS Sun &
Wind sensors.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

For initial programming, provide power only to the motor being pro-

!

grammed. For awning installations, an awning hood is strongly
recommended and a drip loop should be formed to prevent water
from entering the head of the motor as shown in Figure 1.

If hand-held transmitter direction is not properly programmed,
Eolis/Soliris RTS sensor will not function in the manner it was intended.
Damage to motorized window covering and injury may occur as a result.

During installation, it is mandatory to test and verify the motorized
window covering operates in accordance to the commands from
hand-held transmitter.

Installer or user must verify the following Awning Installations
Hand-Held transmitter (DOWN) command:

Awning Installations: = awning moves outward or extends.
Shutter Installations: = shutter moves downward or closes

Connect Power To Motor

STEP 1: Two positions have to be set, the UP and DOWN limits. This is achieved

with the mechanical CMO limit switch unit. Provide power to the motor. Notice
the motor will not respond to any transmitter until a transmitter is assigned
to communicate with the motor receiver. Remove the protective cap exposing
the limit setting buttons on the motor head (replace when finished).

STEP 2: Depress fully both limit switch buttons. They will automatically lock in
the down position (See Figure 2).

The LT RTS CMO motor will now operate in a momentary fashion.

In case of problems with setting of limits during PROGRAMMING MODE,

!

turn the power off to the motor for 2 seconds and then back on to
reset the motor. Please return to PROGRAMMING MODE to initiate

programming process.

Check the Direction of Operation

STEP 1: The DOWN button must correspond to DOWN on the end-product.

In case of an awning, it will open or extend the awning. If the direction is
wrong, change the direction.

STEP 2: Press and hold the (STOP) button.

STEP 3: Release the (STOP) button when the end-product jogs briefly

indicating that the change has been memorized in the motor. Verify that the
change took place before proceeding.

Adding a Remote/Channel or Sun and Wind Sensor: First press the

PROGRAMMING BUTTON on the back of the already programmed remote until the
awning jogs. Then press the PROGRAMMING BUTTON on the remote or sun/wind
sensor that you would like to add until the awning jogs. Check it.

Resetting All Pre-Programmed Limit Settings & Channels: You will need to
disconnect power (120V AC) for 2 seconds, reconnect for 10 seconds, disconnect
for another 2 seconds and reconnect. The motor should start to move and then
stop on its own. If this does not happen, continue to perform the disconnects
until it does. Once the motor stops moving on its own, press and hold the

AUTOMATIC MODE.

MANUAL MODE allows you to control window coverings in the house in groups
or individually, depending on their assignments to the 6 groups on the remote
control transmitter, called “channels”. The channels, numbered 1 to 6, can
be customized, by assigning names to each channel.

AUTOMATIC MODE allows you to control the window covering assigned to the
channels on the remote control transmitter automatically, after having created
the weekly and daily programs, called “automatic commands”. Up to 6
automatic commands can be programmed for each day of the week.

Verify the motor limits are set correctly
Allow time for motor to cool off after continuous operation
(motors are equipped with a thermal shut off for safety)
Verify the motor is not over loaded
Verify all sensors on location are within RTS range and are
working properly
Check the transmitter batteries
(LED should flash with a button press)
Verify the correct Somfy transmitter is being used and that
it is properly programmed into the motors memory
Do not cut power cable shorter than 12 inches
(the power cable acts as an antenna)
