How to Program Exterior Screens Using an RTS Motor


It’s important to power only one motor at a time while programming. Both the upper and lower limits will need to be set.

Let’s start with the upper limit. Start programming by pressing both up and down at the same time until the screen jogs.

A jog is a brief in and out move of your motorized product.

Check the direction of operation by pressing down to confirm it moves the screen down. If you need to change the direction, press and hold “my” until the screen jogs and check the direction again.

Now let’s set the limits. Press and hold up to move the screen to the desired upper limit, release when the desired limite is reached.

Press and hold "my" and down until the screen begins to move down, then release. Allow the screen to travel to the desired lower limit. Press “my” to stop it.

You can make adjustments if necessary. Press and hold “my” and up until the screen begins to move up. Release both buttons and press “my” to stop the screen.

To confirm the limits you have set, press and hold “my” until the screen jogs. Press and hold the program button on the back of the remote until the screen jogs. Your limits are now set.

Now is an ideal time to install and add any additional accessories such as rain or wind sensors, wall switches and timers.

Enjoy your Somfy motorized screen.
