1.2.Liability

Before installing and using the drive, please read these instructions carefully. In addition to the instructions provided in this guide, please also comply with the instructions provided in the attached Safety instructions document. The drive must be installed by a home motorisation and automation professional, in accordance with Somfy’s instructions and the applicable regulations in the country of installation. Any operation of the drive outside the field of application described above is prohibited. 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. After installing the drive, the installer must inform his customers of the operating and maintenance conditions for the drive and must provide them with the operating and maintenance instructions, and the attached Safety instructions document. Any After-Sales Service operation on the drive must be performed by a home motorisation and automation professional. Never begin installing without first checking the compatibility of this product with the associated equipment and accessories. If in doubt when installing this product and/or to obtain additional information, contact a Somfy representative or visit the website www.somfy.com. Using this drive with any products which are not listed in the attached «Compatibility matrix» document shall also render invalid any Somfy warranty and release Somfy from any liability.

    Plug the battery with the motor supply cable.
2.3.Commissioning of a Zigbee drive

In an installation with Zigbee drives, 2 solutions are available to the user: TaHoma switch solution and TaHoma ready solution. TaHoma switch solution is the solution in connected mode, with a TaHoma switch in the installation that allows the user to control all his Zigbee products through the TaHoma application. The other solution, without TaHoma switch, is called TaHoma ready. It allows the user to control his Zigbee drives only with control points. But this installation can be switched to connected mode afterwards by adding a TaHoma switch later. Regarding the commissioning of a Zigbee drive, it can be done in 2 different ways :
Either commissioning with TaHoma pro application, which is recommended because it is easier and more complete. Either commissioning with a control point. Please refer to the corresponding section according to the selected commissioning mode.

2.4.Commissioning with TaHoma pro application (recommended)

Commissioning with TaHoma pro application is possible and recommended for both TaHoma ready solution and TaHoma switch solution.

2.4.1.Starting-up

A Somfypro account is required but TaHoma switch is not mandatory.
To set the drive, you need to access and use TaHoma pro application, you must have a compatible phone or mobile device and access to the internet.

The application is downloadable for free from Apple Store platforms and Google Play Store on Apple or AndroidTM compatible mobile devices. This compatibility is the one indicated in the description of the application on the corresponding Store. The software version of the TaHoma pro application may be updated from time to time to add new features and services.

2.4.2.Setting the drive

CAUTION

  • Download TaHoma pro application if it is not yet installed on the smartphone.
  • Launch the TaHoma pro application before performing this step.
  1. Plug in the power supply of the drive. If the drive is not set or paired, once plugged in, it goes into programming mode during 3 min, and its LED blinks orange.
  2. Open the TaHoma pro application and follow the steps to scan the drive QR 2] code.
  3. Follow the instructions on the TaHoma pro application.

somfy TILT and LIFT 25 WF ZIGBEE Motor Instructions - Setting the
drive

NOTICE This drive can be set with TaHoma pro and used without TaHoma switch (TaHoma switch can be added later).

2.4.3.Network management

To pair a control point to the drive, to add a new control point or a new drive in the installation, follow the instructions on the TaHoma pro application.

2.4.4.Advanced settings

The TaHoma pro application is the recommended tool to easily set the drive and perform re-settings such as modifying the direction of rotation of the drive, or readjusting the end limits. On the other hand, some advanced settings such as adjusting the speed or the tilting travel can only be made via the TaHoma pro application. Follow the instructions in the TaHoma pro application to perform these settings or re-settings.

2.5.Commissioning with a control point only (without TaHoma pro

application)

This chapter describes the commissioning of the drive with a control point only, without using TaHoma pro application, in the case of TaHoma ready solution.

2.5.1.Link creation between a drive and a control point

The following steps describe how to program a drive that is not set or paired, with an unpaired control point.
CAUTION Settings are not possible if the control point batteries are too low.

  1. Plug in the power supply of the drive. If the drive is not set or paired, once plugged in, it goes into programming mode during 3 min, and its LED blinks orange.
    NOTICE
    If the drive has left the programming mode, its LED is not blinking:
    · Press and hold the PROG button on the drive until the motorised product moves up and down briefly and its LED blinks orange : the drive is in programming mode during 3 min.

  2. Bring the control point close to the drive then briefly press simultaneously the Up and Down buttons on the control point: the control point looks for the closest drive in programming mode.
    When found, the feedback LED on the control point blinks in green, the drive LED flashes in green, and the motorised product moves up and down briefly.
    Then the feedback LED on the control point blinks in orange slowly as long as it is in setting mode.

somfy TILT and LIFT 25 WF ZIGBEE Motor Instructions - Link creation between
a drive and a control point

NOTICE
If the control point does not find a drive nearby, the feedback LED of the control point blinks red after a few seconds, and the motorised product of the drive does not move: repeat the above procedure. (If the drive is still in programming mode, repeat only step 2).

NOTICE If the control point does not find the right drive, please refer to chapter Scanning mode.

2.5.2.Scanning mode

If several drives are in programming mode, it is possible to be in setting mode with an undesired drive.

  1. Make sure the drive to be paired is still in programming mode. Otherwise, restart from the beginning of commissioning steps.
  2. If the drive to be paired is still in programming mode, bring the control point A close to the drive then briefly press the Up and Down buttons on the control point simultaneously to exit the setting mode with the previous drive and scan another close Zigbee drive.
    The motorised product of the new found drive moves up and down briefly, the drive is in setting mode.
2.5.3.Checking the direction of rotation

Press the Up button on the control point:
a] If the motorised product rises, the direction of rotation is correct: move onto section Setting the end limits.
b] If the motorised product lowers, the direction of rotation is incorrect: move onto the next step.
b1] Press the my button on the control point until the motorised product moves up
b1] and down: The direction of rotation has been modified.
b2] Press the Up button on the control point to check the direction of rotation.
