Somfy 1860144 Action Object Control Animeo

INSTALLATION MANUAL

The product is a solar protection system designed to control the movement of shades or blinds based on sun and wind conditions. It consists of two zones with manual and automatic control options.

Before installation, please read and follow these instructions. An incorrect installation could lead to serious injury. The product must be installed by a qualified electrician. SOMFY’s liability for defects and damages is excluded if they were caused by disregard of the instructions. Keep these instructions for future reference.

A. EXPLANATION OF USER INTERFACE

B. LCD EXPLANATION

Notes:

• If the control is in ”demo” or ”test mode” the mode toggles with ”time”.
• Black background means selected (”System” in this case).

C. WHAT IS A ZONE?

A zone is a facade with one type of solar protection with the same dimensions.

In this example you use one set of wind and sun sensors per zone.

In this example you normally use the same set of wind and sun sensors for both zones.

D. MENU STRUCTURE

E. MOUNTING THE CONTROLLER

Cabling possible from back and top of the controller.

F. MOUNTING THE SENSORS

Please study the appropriate sensors installation guides.

G. GENERAL WIRING DIAGRAM

H. MOTOR CONNECTION PRINCIPLES

Please study the appropriate motor relay’s installation guide.

The number of motors that can be connected in RK mode is dependent on the main fuse used. Normally you can count one motor per 1A. This means a 10A fuse allows maximum 10 motors to be connected.

I. SELECT NETWORK MODE

animeo Solo consists of two different modes to control motor relays, IB and RK. Select the type you are using. IB network mode is default. (The switch is located on the printed circuit board.)

IB network mode

IB is Somfy’s standard communication mode. Typical moto with IB mode are Somfy CD 1×1, Somfy animeo Motor controllers and Centralis Uno IB.

RK network mode
RK is an older network mode using no electronics or “intelligence” in the motor relays. A typical motor relay with RK is Somfy RK2. RK mode is also used when connecting one AC motor directly to the controller.

Important!
It’s very important that you select the correct network mode for your installation. Otherwise there is risk that you will damage the products. If more than one motor is to be connected to a zone, a motor relay must be used.

J. POWER UP THE CONTROLLER THE FIRST TIME

K. CHECK MOTOR DIRECTION

L. SET MOTOR RUNNING AND TILTING TIME.

Enter the time (down running time) needed for the solar protection to move from fully up/in position to the position where you want the solar protection to move to when e.g. sun and timer functions are active.

If blinds are used also enter the time (tilt time) needed for the slats to move from fully closed to the angle you want when the sun function is active. As a rule of thumb the time up (up running time) should be double that of the down time (down running time).

To test your running and tilt times make sure that the solar protection is in the fully up/in position and then give a manual down command.

M. CHECK SENSORS

Go to Sensors status. Wind and sun sensors should normally show a value higher then zero. If that is the case, then everything is fine. If it’s very dark use a flashlight on the sun sensor to simulate sun and check the value. If there’s no wind just turn the windmill manually and check the value. If you have more then one sun and/or wind sensor make sure that the corresponding sensor is connected to the correct input. The easiest way of doing this is to cover one sensor and then check the value/s.

N.ERRORS

Check Error list if any errors.
If yes, consult the owners manual.

O. SETTINGS

The settings depend on the functions to be used. For detailed information, please see the owner’s manual.
The minimum settings are listed below:

• Disable functions that are not to be used.
• Sensor allocation for wind and sun, if more then one sun and/or wind sensor are used.
• Wind threshold. For exact values please contact the solar protection supplier.

The table below is for guidance only:

If Alarm function is to be used, enable function.

P. FAQ

Why do the solar protection go down when I press the Up button (or vice versa)

• There is an error in the wiring (see section G+H+I+K).

The solar protection does not go sufficiently low when the sun shines.

• Increase the down running time (see section D+L).

The blinds do not tilt enough when the sun shines.

• Increase the tilt time (see section D+L).

I can’t move the solar protection manually

• Check LCD to see if any blocking function is active (e.g. wind) (see section B+D).

There is sun but the solar protection is not down.

• Is the control in automatic mode? (See section A+B).
• Is the sun function enabled? (See section D+O).
• Check LCD to see if any blocking function is active (e.g. Wind, Timer, Error or Get Heat) (see section B+D).
• Is there sun on the sun sensor?
• Perhaps your sun on threshold is set to high? Check present sun value in sensor status and compare with your “On threshold” (see section B+D+M).
• Is the sensor allocated correctly? (See section D+M+O).

There is no sun but the solar protection is down.

• Is the control in automatic mode? (See section A+B).
• Is the sun function enabled? (See section D+O).
• Check LCD to see if any blocking function is active (e.g. Preserve Heat ,Timer) (see section B+D).
• Is there sun on the sun sensor?
• Perhaps your sun up threshold is set to low? Check present sun value in sensor status and compare with your on threshold (see section B+D+M).
• Is the sensor allocated correctly? (See section D+M+O).

The solar protection moves to often up and down during a partially cloudy day

• Increase “sun off” and “sun on” delay (see section D+O).

It’s very windy but the solar protection is still out.

• Is wind function enabled? (See section D+O).
• Is wind sensor turning?
• Is the wind sensor mounted in adequate position?
• Perhaps your wind threshold is set to high? Check present wind value in sensor status and compare with your threshold (see section B+D+M).
• Is the sensor allocated correctly? (See section D+M+O).

Nothing seams to work as it used to do

• Check if there is an error indicated on the LCD or in the error list (see section B+D+N).
• Contact your supplier or www.somfy.com

Tip when testing

If you want to test a function, e.g. the sun, you have to wait for the on and off delays.
By setting the controller to test mode all delays will be shortened by a factor of 60.
Important! Do not forget to return to normal mode when finished.
