Somfy Technologies

Wired Technology is the most basic method of control, using a direct connection from a control point

Dry Contact Technology is a wired method of control, using a direct connection from a control point to a motor via a DC low voltage wire.

Radio Technology Somfy is an exclusive remote control protocol used to operate and control wirelessly.

Digital Technology Somfy (SDN) is a control method using a two-wired bus. Many building management systems (BMS) use RS485 protocol

The ZigBee® protocol is a low-powered RF mesh networking technology that uses the reliable 2.4Ghz standard

Fabrication Recommendations/Best Practices

Fabrication Recommendations

• Operational noise level is reduced when motor, tube, and mechanical accessories are properly adapted to motorized applications. 
• Free plays have to be minimized between the accessories and the end product tube to ensure quiet performance of the motor. 
• Interior Tube Diameter (ID) > or = 38mm must be respected to prevent contact with the basic motor tube. 
• 400 Series Drive Stop and Screw (9147894) is recommended to prevent noise and drive wheel separation from motor shaft.

Obstacle Detection Wheel

Ø40mm ABS Wheel (Left/Right)

Smart obstacle detection
Accurate and reliable obstacle detection

Integrating a left or right hand Ø40mm ABS wheel enables obstacle detection function to a Ø40m motor. When an obstacle is detected on the downward motion, the motor will stop. This is because the ABS wheel backs off the electronic limit switch and cuts out the motor. But there are a few careful considerations and requirements to ensure the operation works.

The Ø40mm ABS Wheel Works:

1. ONLY if the Ø40MM motor has electronic limit switches (refer to the below table with compatible motors)
2. ONLY if the installer correctly selects the LH or the RH ABS wheel. Only 1 wheel is required per installation. (If you select the wrong wheel (LH/RH), when the motor is coming up, it will not detect obstacle & disengage at up movement.) Unlike the Ø50mm ABS wheel, the Ø40mm ABS Wheel is not interchangeable (A LH cannot be converted to a RH, or vice versa). 
3. PREFERABLY for ZipScreenwith side channels (and preferably with a head box). This is because the side channels guide the fabric back into the head box on the back of the ABS wheel momentarily.
4. Extra length to be added to the tube: 30mm for ABS wheel Ø40

ALERT: Once an obstacle has been detected, the motor will just stop.
It will not retract automatically. Need to perform up movement to disengage the blind.
