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.

h. Motor connEction principlES
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 motor relays with
IB mode are Somfy CD4, Somfy animeo Motor controllers and Somfy
Centralis 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.
