PROGRAMMING – 485
485 shades are programmed using the Screen Innovations SIFI via the web
interface. This programming can be done with a Windows or Mac computer either
over LAN or wired directly to SIFI. The following instructions are for a
Windows computer, but the steps for programming on a Mac are very similar. For
a complete guide to program SIFI on a Mac, please visit our website. Before
attempting to program any motors with SIFI, verify that the firmware is up to
date. To adjust the lower limit of an 485 shade, follow the steps below.
Connect SIFI as shown below.
- Launch Windows File Explorer
- Click on the “Network” tab
- Double click on the SIFI, the default web browser will launch
- At the landing page, click the three lines in the top right corner, then click “Settings”
- Select the “485” tab on the top left
- Press the spyglass to auto discover motors on the 485 network (may have to press it more than once)
- Click on the motor you want to program
- Name the motor
- Right click on the down limit count
- Move the shade up or down using the buttons in the popup window
- Click set to confirm the limit
- Operate the shade up and then back down to verify the position of the limit
