In addition to the instructions provided in this guide, please also comply with the instructions provided in the attached Safety instructions document.
The drive must be installed by a home motorisation and automation professional, in accordance with Somfy’s instructions and the applicable regulations in the country of installation.
Any operation of the drive outside the field of application described above is prohibited. Such use, and any failure to comply with the instructions given in this guide and in the attached Safety instructions document, absolves Somfy of any liability and invalidates the warranty.
After installing the drive, the installer must inform his customers of the operating and maintenance conditions for the drive and must provide them with the operating and maintenance instructions, and the attached Safety instructions document. Any After-Sales Service operation on the drive must be performed by a home motorisation and automation professional.

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.

Assembly

Replace the head cover with a different color (Optional)

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

NOTICE
Head has interchangeable covers to fit with the fabric.

Preparing the drive
Check that the inner diameter of the motorised product’s tube is greater than 37 mm.

Fit the accessories required to integrate the drive into the winding tube: fit the crown (a) and the drive wheel (b) to the drive.
Measure the length (L) between the inner edge of the drive head and the rim of the drive wheel.

Preparing the tube

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

Assembling the drive-tube

Slide the drive into the winding tube. For winding tubes with a smooth interior, position the cut notch on the crown.
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.

Installing the drive-tube assembly

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.

Screw the bracket adapter to the drive head.
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.
