Assembly

Preparing the drive

CAUTION

Sunea 40 Solar io interior diameter of the tube has to be Ø37 mm or greater.

1. Fit the accessories required to integrate the drive into the tube:
   • Either only wheel (a) on the drive
   • or crown (b) and wheel (c) on the drive.
2. Measure the length (L) between the inner edge of the drive head and the rim of the wheel.

Preparing the tube

CAUTION

Install the drive in a tube with a minimum thickness of 0.5 mm and a smooth inner surface: with no welding, crimping, folding, etc. inside the tube.

1. Cut the tube to the required length, depending on the motorised product.
2. Deburr the tube and remove the swarf.
3. For tubes which are smooth inside, cut a notch with the following measurements:

Assembling the drive-tube

1. Slide the drive into the tube. For tubes with a smooth interior, position the cut notch on the crown.
2. The wheel must be locked in place to prevent any movement in the tube.

• This can be achieved by fastening the tube to the wheel using 4 self-tapping screws, Ø 5 mm, or 4 steel pop rivets, Ø 4.8 mm, placed between 5 mm and 15 mm from the outer edge of the wheel, regardless of the tube.

CAUTION: The screws or pop rivets must only be fastened onto the wheel and not on the drive.

Installing the drive-tube assembly

CAUTION: The motorised product must not be compressed between the brackets.

1. If necessary, screw the bracket adapter to the drive head (f).
2. Assemble and fix the drive-tube assembly onto the end bracket (g) and onto the drive bracket (h).

_ CAUTION: _Ensure that the drive-tube assembly is secured onto the end bracket. This operation prevents the tube-drive assembly from coming out of the end bracket attachment.

Installation of the antenna

For optimal radio reception, it is recommended that the drive antenna extends at least 10 cm outside of the motorised product housing and at least 1 cm from all metal surfaces. To fix the drive antenna in the ideal position, it is recommended to use the Somfy MOUNTED ANTENNA BRACKET accessory.

CAUTION

• Do not wind or cut the antenna wire. Observe a minimum bending radius (i) of 9 mm.
• Do not protrude the antenna wire from the side of the valances (risk of cutting the antenna)!
