Somfy Li-On Motors Programming Guide

Note: These instructions start as if the shade has never been programmed. If the shade has been previously programmed or needs to go back to factory default (so you can start from the beginning), please follow the “Resetting to factory default” directions before starting the programming sequence.

Note: When programming multiple motors to the same channel, the first shade must be “Put To Sleep” before programming the other shades. This function will last 15 minutes. If a longer time frame is needed, use the “Disable RTS” function.

Note:  If you are using a Decoflex Wall Switch, substitute the “stop” button for the “my” button. The programming button is a paper clip size hole next to the down arrow.

Setting the limits

  1. Wake the motor up by pressing and releasing the program button on the motor head (The motor will jog 3 times).
  2. Select the desired channel then press the up and down buttons together (The shade will jog).
  3. Use the arrow buttons to check the direction of movement (make sure up is up and down is down).
  4. If the directions are not correct(backwards), press and hold the “my” button until the shade jogs. Test the shade again with the arrow buttons; it should now be correct.
  5. Use the up arrow to move the shade into the desired upper limit. (The limits can be set in any order; however, the sequence will be reversed). When the upper position has been reached, move on to the next step.
  6. Press and hold the “my” button and the down arrow together. When the shade begins to move, release the buttons. (You will need to stop the shade near the bottom with the “my” button and do the final adjustments with the arrow buttons).
  7. Once the desired down limit has been reached, press the “my” button and the up arrow together. When the shade begins to move, release the buttons and the shade will continue to go up until it reaches the upper limit (the position the shade started from).
  8. If the shade has stopped where you want it, press and hold the “my” button until the shade jogs; then flip the remote over, press and release the programming button on the back of the remote and the shade will jog. Go to step 10.
