INSTALLATION

WARNING

• These instructions are mandatory for the home motorisation and automation professional installing the drive.
• Comply with current standards and legislation in the country of installation.

CAUTION

• Never drop, knock or puncture the drive or immerse it in liquid.
• Install an individual control point for each drive.
• To insure optimized silent operation, the gaps between the drive, the accessories, the tube and the tube end piece must be minimized.

2.1.Assembly
2.1.1.Replace the head cover with a different color (Optional)

1. Remove the screw.
2. Replace the cover with a new cover.
3. Screw the cover at 0,4 N·m.

NOTICE
Head has interchangeable covers to fit with the fabric.
2.1.2.Preparing the drive
Check that the inner diameter of the motorised product’s tube is greater than 37 mm.

1. Fit the accessories required to integrate the drive into the winding tube: fit the crown (a) and the drive wheel (b) to the drive. CAUTION
   The crown is mandatory.

2. Measure the length (L) between the inner edge of the drive head and the rim of the drive wheel.

2.1.3.Preparing the tube

1. Cut the winding tube to the required length, depending on the motorised product.
2. Deburr the winding tube and remove the swarf.
3. For winding tubes which are smooth inside, cut a notch with the following measurements: l = 7 mm, L = 10 mm.

2.1.4.Assembling the drive-tube

1. Slide the drive into the winding tube. For winding tubes with a smooth interior, position the cut notch on the crown.
2. The drive wheel must be locked in place to prevent any movement in the winding tube: This can be achieved by fastening the winding tube to the drive 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 drive wheel, regardless of the winding tube.

CAUTION
The screws or pop rivets must only be fastened onto the drive wheel and not on the drive.
2.1.5.Installing the drive-tube assembly
CAUTION

• The motorised product must not be compressed between the brackets.
• Do not use the plastic cross without the metal bracket adapter.

The drive can be fixed directly onto the drive bracket (the screw holes are spaced 29 mm apart). Use 2 screws 4 x 8 mm delivered with the motor. A manual tightening torque of 1.5 N·m is recommended. Drive plates are also available in the current catalogue (Select the correct drive plate adapted to the bracket and check the torque requirements in the system). Use the 2 screws 3 x  6  mm delivered with the motor plate. A manual tightening torque of 0.6 N·m is recommended.

1. Screw the bracket adapter to the drive head.
2. Install and fix the drive-tube assembly onto the end bracket (c) and onto the drive bracket (d).

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.
• Light gap reduced: Do not pinch cables or be careful they are not in contact with moving parts.
• Do not let the drive-tube hanged by only one side.

2.2. Wiring
PRECAUTION

• Cables which pass through a metal wall must be protected and isolated using a sheath or sleeve.
• Secure cables to prevent any contact with moving parts.

2.3.Commissioning of a Zigbee drive
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.
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.
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 Android™ 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. Switch ON the drive.
2. Open the TaHoma pro application and follow the steps to scan the drive QR code.
3. Follow the instructions on the TaHoma pro application.

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)
