Somfy 5050583D Eolis 3D Wirefree RTS Wind Sensor Awning Motor

Installer Instruction

These instructions describe how to install, set up, and operate this product.

Introduction

The Eolis 3D WireFree™ RTS is a wireless and autonomous three-dimensional motion sensor. li automatically retracts the awning when vibration is detected due to wind. The motion detection is configured according to a predetermined sensitivity threshold. If the awning is also connected to a sure sensor, on windy and sunny days, the Eolis 3D WireFree™ RTS will detect motion and prevent the awning from extending to protect it. The Eolis 3D WireFree™ RTS is designed only for roller, encased, or cassette-type folding arm patio awnings. The Eolis 3D WireFree RTS is compatible with the current range of RTS motors. RTS remote controls and RTS Somfv sensors.

Fixing with adhesive (Figure D)
The adhesive supplied is only to be used for this operation. Always use the adhesive provided by Somfy. The use of any other adhesive is prohibited . Somfy-5050583D-Eolis-3D-Wirefree-RTS-Wind-Sensor-Awning-Motor-
fig-6

Choose a location on the inner or outer face of the front bar. The surface must be flat and suitable for the bracket to be attached.
If the position is on the inner face of the front bar:
check that the Eolis 3D, when mounted on its bracket (g), does not obstruct the closure of the awning and is not damaged during this operation.
Clean the front bar.
Apply the adhesive (c) to the rear of the bracket (g).
Fix the adhesive bracket assembly to the front bar:
The arrow engraved on the bracket with
«UP» must be positioned to point towards.

Other methods for fixing the bracket (Figure E)

The bracket (g) is mounted without washers using:

2 x ø 4 mm pan head screws,
or 2 x o 4 mm countersunk screws,
or 2 x o 4 mm pop rivets,
or 2 Somfy mounting accessories (fixings not supplied),
Choose a location on the inner or outer face of the front bar.
If the position is on the inner face of the front bar:
check that the Eolis 3D, when mounted on its bracket (g), does not obstruct the closure of the awning and is not damaged during this operation.
Depending on the fixing method chosen, drill two holes in the front bar according to the center distance of the bracket (see “Technical data”.
- My Mount the bracket: the arrow engraved on the bracket with «UP» must be positioned to point upwards.

Fitting the batteries (Figure F)

Remove the sensor (f) from the cover (e) using a flat-blade screwdriver.
Insert the batteries supplied (d) in the sensor, taking care to observe the polarity indicated:
The green indicator light (i) will come on for 1 second if the battery level is sufficient.
The red indicator light will flash if the battery level is insufficient.
Leave the sensor open to continue the setup.

Set up (Figure B

After set up, make sure that the threshold set enables the awning to be raised.
The Eolis 3D WireFree™ RTS will only fixed to the bracket ganda Selings are complete. threshold value is generation. This sensitivity is sufficient to provide protection for the main rite of applications

Programming the Eolis 3D to a motor (Figure G) The motor must have already been set and programmed to a control point.
Do not program an Eolis 3D to several motors.

Take a remote control that is already programmed in the memory of the motor.
Press the PROG. button of the remote control, until the awning jogs.
Briefly press the PROG. button (l) on the sensor: The motor will jog and the Eolis 3D is programmed into the motor.

Pre-defined threshold

This setting corresponds to vibration detection of the awning according to pre-set values.
This sensitivity is sufficient to provide protection for the majority of applications.

Setting the “Pre-defined threshold” (Figure H)

Set the potentiometer (h) to the required threshold using a flat-blade screwdriver:
Threshold 1: light vibration will trigger the retraction of the awning.
Towards threshold 9: stronger vibration will trigger the retraction of the awning.
Insert the sensor (f) in the cover (e).
Slide the sensor onto the bracket (g) until it hits the stop. Move the awning to simulate the vibration in order to check the setting.

Personalised threshold

This setting corresponds to vibration detection based on a sensitivity threshold that has been set by the installer. The awning is manually shaken until automatic retraction is triggered: the strength of the vibration caused is recorded by the sensor.
If the awning is not shaken before the automatic retraction, the sensor will return to the original configuration.

After the threshold is set, the sensor will switch to demonstration mode for the first two cycles. This mode enables users to easily modify the selected setting.
Pressing the STOP/My button once will stop the awning from retracting and allow the user to modify the sensitivity threshold by manually shaking the awning.

Setting the “Personalised threshold” (Figure I)

Turn the potentiometer (h) to 0 with a flat-blade screwdriver.
Insert the sensor (t) in the cover (e).
Slide the assembly onto the bracket (9) until it hits the stop: the sensor is in “Personalised threshold” mode.
Move the awning to simulate the threshold for the maximum vibration permitted, and continue until the awning automatically retracts: the sensor is set and will switch to Demonstration mode.

Checking the setting

Extend the awning, then shake it to simulate vibration by the wind to cause the awning to retract:
If the awning reacts as required, the sensor has been correctly set,
If the awning does not react as required, stop the retraction of the awning by pressing the STOP/My button and go to the step entitled “Modifying the personalized threshold setting.

Modifying the “Personalised threshold” setting (Figure J)

Extend the awning.
Detach the cover-sensor assembly from the bracket (g) and wait for 2 seconds.
Fit the cover-sensor assembly onto the bracket: the sensor is in “Personalised threshold” mode. A lot more ran 4 seconds tree gage the mastery ant repeat the two previous steps.
Move the awning to simulate the threshold for the maximum vibration permitted, and continue until the awning automatically retracts: the sensor has been set.

Method of operation

Wind will cause the awning to vibrate. If the vibration is greater than the set threshold, the awning will automatically retract.
10 prevent the awning from retracting.
to extend the awning wait for 30 seconds after the awning has retracted.
When the sensor stops detecting any vibration for 30 seconds: the application can be controlled in manual mode.
If the Eolis 3D is connected to a sun sensor and the sun comes out, then the awning will extend after 12 mins. on gian activate to better protect your hing Sun»

Additional settings

Battery replacement

When the batteries are replaced, the sensor settings will
remain memorized.
Never use rechargeable batteries for the Eolis 3D sensor!
Remove the sensor (f) / cover assembly (e) from the bracket (g) and follow the procedure in section 5.4. “Fitting the batteries”.
Refit the sensor (f) in the cover (e) and slide the assembly onto the bracket (g) until it reaches the stop.

Deleting an Eolis 3D from a motor (Figure K)
The procedure for deleting the Eolis 3D WireFree™ RTS from a motor is identical to the programming procedure: see section 6.1. “Programming the Eolis 3D WireFree™ RTS to a motor”.

Deleting all sensors
The aging metal sensors (sun, wind, etc.) connected

Take a remote control that is already programmed in the memory of the motor.
Press the PROG. button of the remote control, until the awning jogs.
Press and hold for 7 seconds) the sensor PROG button (the sensor does not have to be linked to the awning motor): the awning will jog twice. All the sensors have been deleted from the motor’s memory.
