2. INSTALLATION
Instructions which must be followed by the drive and home automation professional
installing the Sonesse 50 drive.
Never drop, knock, drill or submerge the drive.
Install a separate control point for each drive.
Never connect two control points to a single motor.
Never connect two motors to a single control point.
To optimize silence, the mechanical plays between motor, accessories, tube and end of
tube must be decreased to the maximum.
2.1. INSTALLATION
2.1.1. Preparing the drive
Check that the inner diameter of the tube greater than
47mm.
1) Fit the accessories required to integrate the drive in the
roller tube:
• Fit the crown a, the drive wheel b and the stop wheel c
on the drive.
The stop wheel must be screwed with a torque ranging
between 1.5 and 1.8 Nm.
2) Measure the length (L1) between the inner edge of the
drive head and the rim of the drive wheel.
2.1.2. Tube preparation
1) Cut the roller tube to the required length, depending on
the motorised product.
For roller tubes which are smooth inside, position the notch
previously cut on the boss on the crown.
2) The drive wheel must be locked in place to prevent it
moving along the roller tube:
2)
• This can be done either by xing the roller tube to the
drive wheel using 4 x Ø 5 mm self-tapping screws,
or by using 4 x Ø 4.8 mm steel pop rivets placed 5
mm to 15 mm from the outer rim of the drive wheel,
regardless of the roller tube.
The screws or pop rivets must only be attached to the
drive wheel and not to the drive.
3)
3) Slide the end cap into the roller tube.
2.1.4. Installing the drive/tube assembly
The motorised product must not be compressed between the brackets
1) Install and x the drive/tube assembly onto the end
bracket f and onto the drive bracket g:
Ensure that the drive/tube assembly is secured onto
the end bracket. This operation prevents the drive/
tube assembly from coming out of the end bracket
mounting when the roller blind reaches the lower end
limit position.

For the safety of goods and people, Somfy motors are equipped with thermal protection
that will trigger the motor stops in the event of overheating.
Repeated achieving this protection can degrade engine performance.
If the motor goes to thermal protection, please check your installation and check that the
motor is rated for the intended use.
A normal installation is not expected to trig this protection.
To avoid the drift of the end limits, do not cut the power supply more than 1 week.
