IGC 4in1 Demo Case Setup
Welcome to setting up the IGC 4in1 case.
There are few points of the case to keep in mind:
- When you’re handling the case you should be careful because it is heavy.
- When moving the case, there are wheels on the underside and a handle in the front to lift or a handle underneath.

In order to set up the case on a table you will need to follow the instructions on the front card to make sure that when you’re setting up the case the lid does not fall too far back, because the lid is top heavy. There is a support stand inside the case that’ll be used on this silver dome (in the back of the case) to hold the case in position.
Opening the Case
The first step to opening the case is to use these turn handles and flip them up. There is a lock on the front of the case and the default code is 000. This lock could be used in transport to keep the case closed.
Once you have the case open there is an envelope in the top that has the information for the case. Inside of this envelope you’ll find spec sheets for the products inside, setup instructions to setup the case, as well as installation instructions. You will also find the RTS Pocket Programming Guide, and the instructions for the individual controls.There are five USB drives included in the kit that support the marketing material in the envelope.
Remove the foam. Inside the case you will find four wired technology Sonesse 40 motors installed in clear tubes. The IGC 4n1 controller, a Telis remote, an RTS Smoove wall switch, and the DecoFlex Dry Contact Keypad, which will be used soon for operating the case. And in this department there is also a Somfy screwdriver and a limit setting tool for the Sonesse 40 motors.
On the other side of the case you’ll find the RTS receiver, a small receiver, and it plugs in with the gray modular cable on this side. On this side we have an orange Cat 5 cable, which will plug into the keypad.
On the other side of the case we have a grey Cat 5 cable, with a smaller connector. And this gray cable plugs into the RTS receiver.
Inside you also have the power cord that will operate the entire display. This power cord is 12 feet long, and it’s recommended that you plug this power cord into a dedicated outlet on the wall. You want to avoid plugging the cord into a conference room table or an outlet that is using multiple devices just so there’s no interference.
Using the IGC 4n1 Motor Controller
The next step is opening the lid on the IGC 4n1 motor controller. Before you open the lid, you should notice that there are a couple of labels. One is to notify you to slide the lid upwards to open the case. The other label is to show you that there are wiring connection details on the other side of the lid.
You’ll notice the wire details. The orange wire goes to the DecoFlex Dry Contact keypad as shown and then the gray wire goes to the IGC 4n1 Radio Receiver as shown.
Inside the motor controller, you’ll notice a few important details. The first major point is to avoid putting your hands inside the motor controller because there is 120 line voltage inside of the controller and you don’t want to get shocked.
Inside the case you’ll notice the orange cable, the gray cable for your controls, main power cable that goes around to the outlet and then there are the four motor connections for the Sonesse 40 or wired technology motors.
The next step now that the unit is powered and both Cat 5 wires are connected to the control devices is that you can start to operate the display unit. The ways to operate are either the Dry Contact keypad or the RTS Telis Smoove Wall Switch, which communicates to the RTS receiver.
First you can operate the motors by pressing open or close. They were currently open and now they’re closed. Press open and they’ll go to the opposite limit. You can stop the motors and you can continue opening them.
Once the motors stop in the top position, all of the red dots are lined up.
You can set the motors to different presets. The first preset is 25 percent. The second preset is 50 percent. The third preset is 75 percent. And the last would be to close.
So that’s control using the DecoFlex Dry Contact keypad. This keypad would normally be mounted to the wall, it is not a wireless keypad as it has a wire coming out of the back so you couldn’t use on a tabletop.
Next would be the remote: You can operate the motors by pressing the up or down buttons, stop the motors with the “my” button, and continue sending them up.
This is using the Smoove switch. Send the motors to the down position or stop them. Continue sending them down.
Packing Up the IGC 4n1
Once the demonstration is complete you’ll want to pack up the display so that it’s properly organized for the next meeting that takes place.
The first step is to remove the power from the unit and unplug the cord from the dedicated power supply. It’s important to unplug the unit before you take any of the controllers apart, just so that you know that everything is idle and in non-powered mode.
The next step is to remove your cables. So unplug the gray cable and put the receiver back in it’s place. Pack up the gray wire and unplug the keypad, stow the wire and wrap up the power cord.
Put the cords together and replace the IGC 4n1 Motor Controller cover, line up the holes and slide the lid down. If you wish you could use the screwdriver to tighten the screws.
Place the foam on top and remove the support stand and place it back into position. Close the cover and the latches. Sometimes you need to push down on the lid to get the latch into place and then change the lock.
