1. PREREQUISITE INFORMATION
1.1 FIELDS OF APPLICATION
The Sonesse 50 drive is designed to drive all types of indoor awning
(Roller blinds and projection screens), excluding pantographs.
The Sonesse 50 drive is designed to drive multi-banding roller blinds.
The Sonesse 50 drive is designed to drive several roller blinds simultaneously, where these are
interconnected by a drive bracket.
The Sonesse 50 drive is not designed to be used with a compensating spring.
Any use outside the elds of application is prohibited, in particular:
The Sonesse 50 drive is not designed for outdoor awnings (e.g. outdoor vertical blinds, roller
shutters, etc.)
Before installing and using the drive, please read operating and installation guide carefully. In addition to following the instructions given in this guide, the instructions detailed in the attached Safety instructions document must also be observed.
The drive must be installed by a drive and home automation professional, according
to instructions from Somfy and the regulations applicable in the country in which it is
commissioned.
It is prohibited to use the drive outside the elds of application described above. Such use,
and any failure to comply with the instructions given in this guide and in the attached Safety
instructions document, absolves Somfy of any liability and invalidates the warranty.
The installer must inform its customers of the operating and maintenance conditions for the
drive and must provide them with the instructions for use and maintenance, and the attached
Safety instructions document, after installing the drive. AnyAfter-Sales Service operation on
the drive must be performed by a drive and home automation professional.

2. INSTALLATION
Instructions which must be followed by the drive and home automation professional
installing the drive.
Never drop, knock, drill or submerge the drive.
Install a separate control point for each drive.
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.

2.2. WIRING
Cables which pass through a metal wall must be protected and isolated using a sheath
or sleeve.
Attach cables to prevent any contact with moving parts.
The cable on the Sonesse Ultra 50 can be removed. If it is damaged, replace it with an
identical cable.
Leave the drive power supply cable accessible: it must be possible to replace it easily.
- Switch off the power supply.
- Connect the drive according to the information in the table below:
down (fast raising and lowering), and the RTS control
point is pre-programmed in the motor.
The motorisation is in programming mode for ≈ 10 min.
2.3.2. Checking the direction of rotation
1) Press the Λ button on the RTS control point:
a) If the motorised product rises (a), the direction
of rotation is correct: Move onto the section
entitled “Setting the end limits”.
b) If the motorised product lowers (b), the direction
of rotation is incorrect: Move onto the next step.
2) Press the my button on the RTS control point
until the motorised product moves up and down: The
direction of rotation has been modied.
3) Press the
check the direction of rotation.
2.3.3. Setting the end limits
The end limits can be set in any order.
1) Raise the motorised product to the desired position
by pressing the
2) Press the my and
the motorised product moves.
The upper end limit is memorised.
3) Press the my button when the motorised product
reaches the desired lowered position. If necessary,
adjust the position of the motorised product using the
Λ/V buttons on the RTS control point at

be reset.
This reset deletes all control points, all the sensors
and all the end limit settings, and resets the motor’s
favourite position (my).
1) Position the motorised product at the mid-height
position.
2) Cut the power supply for 2 seconds.
3) Switch the power supply back on for 5 to 15
seconds.
4) Cut the power supply for 2 seconds.
5) Switch the power supply back on: the motorised
product moves for a few seconds. (If the application
is at the upper or lower end limit, it will make a brief
up and down movement).
6) Press the PROG button on the Somfy local
control point for ≈ 7 seconds, until the motorised
product moves up and down twice:
→ The motorisation is reset to the original
conguration.
- Repeat the commissioning procedure (see
Commissioning) section.

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.
3.1. UP AND DOWN BUTTONS
Pressing the Λ or V button fully raises or lowers the
motorised product.
