INTRODUCTION

The Pergola io motor is designed to motorise all types of Pergola awning.

What is io-homecontrol®?
The Pergola io uses io-homecontrol®, the new universal and secure wireless communication protocol, shared by the major manufacturers in the world of home automation. io-homecontrol® enables all comfort and security equipment to intercommunicate and be actuated via a single control point.
The flexibility and perfect compatibility of the io-homecontrol® system provides support for you as your needs evolve. You can start by automating roller shutters and the front door, then equip the outside awnings, the gate and garage door or garden lighting with the io homecontrol® system.
These scalable items of equipment are still compatible with the existing system, thanks to io-homecontrol® technology, which ensures their inter- operability.
For further information please visit the website www.io- homecontrol.com.

SAFETY

Specific safety advice

Iswitch off the mains supply for the awning before performing any service operation in the vicinity.
To avoid damaging the product:

1. Never immerse it in liquid!
2. Avoid impacts!
3. Do not drop it!
4. Never drill holes in it!
5. Avoid moving the awning if ice has formed on it.
   

INSTALLATION

The Pergola io must be installed in a location sheltered from inclement weather.

Motor preparation

1. Fit the crown (A) and the drive wheel (B) to the motor.
2. Measure the length (L1) between the interior edge of the motor head and the outer rim of the drive wheel.

Tube preparation

1. Cut the roller tube to the required length.
2. Deburr the roller tube and remove the swarf.
3. For smooth roller tubes, cut a notch with the following measurements:
   – e = 4 mm
   – h = 28 mm.

Motor/tube assembly

1. Slide the motor into the roller tube.
   For smooth roller tubes, position the notch previously cut on the crown.

2. For safety reasons, fix the roller tube to the drive wheel with 4 x Ø 5 mm self-tapping screws or 4 x Ø 4.8 mm steel pop rivets located:
   – at least 5 mm from the outer rim of the drive wheel: L1 – 5, and
   – no more than 15 mm from the outer rim of the drive wheel: L1 – 15.

The screws or pop rivets must only be attached to the drive wheel and not to the motor.

Installing the tube/motor assembly

1. Fit the tube/motor assembly to the end bracket (C).
2. Fit the tube/motor assembly to the motor bracket (D).
3. Depending on the type of bracket, position the retaining ring (E) (for motors ≥ 85 Nm with a retaining ring, it is essential to use the locking retaining ring (F))

Advanced functions

Please contact the manufacturer of the awning before using these functions to confirm the compatibility of your installation.
** “Fabric tension” function for tensioned Pergola awnings only**
This function is used to increase or decrease the awning fabric tension to three levels (high-medium-low).
The motor is factory set at the medium level.For safety reasons, this function can only be accessed via the Somfy io control point in 3 scenarios:

• After validation of the settings and before programming the first Somfy io control point.
• After programming the first Somfy io control point and for the next 4 cycles.
• After a power cut, and for the next 4 cycles.

To activate this function:

1. Put the awning in the middle position.

2. Briefly press the “my” and Down buttons simultaneously, then immediately afterwards press and hold the “my” and Down buttons until the awning moves briefly.
   The motor is in programming mode for just 10 seconds.
   

3. Adjust the fabric tension using the Up or Down buttons.
   – To increase the fabric tension, press the Up button until the awning moves slowly: the fabric tension has switched to “high”.
   – To decrease the fabric tension, press the Down button until the awning moves slowly: the fabric tension has switched to “low”.

TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Questions about the Pergola io

modify it if necessary.
The motor is hot.| Wait until the motor cools down.
An incorrect cable has been used.| Check the cable and ensure it has 3 strands.
The Somfy io control point battery is low.| Check whether the battery is weak and replace it if necessary.
The control point is not compatible.| Check for compatibility and replace the control point if necessary.
The Somfy io control point used has not been programmed into the motor.| Use a programmed control point or program this control point.
The awning stops too soon.| The crown is incorrectly positioned.| Fit the crown correctly.
The end limits have been incorrectly set.| Readjust the end limits.

Replacing a lost or broken Somfy io control point

Refer to the corresponding guide.

Restoring the original configuration

This reset deletes all control points, all the sensors and all the end limit settings, and resets the motor’s direction of rotation and favourite position (my). However, for tensioned Pergola awnings only, the fabric tension setting is maintained.
Only switch off the power for the motor to be reset

1. .Put the awning in the middle position (if possible).

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 awning moves for several seconds.
   If the awning is at the upper or lower end limit, it will move briefly.

6. Hold down the PROG button: the awning will make a brief first movement followed by a second a few moments later. The motor is configured with the factory settings.
   – Repeat the procedures from the Commissioning” section
