Motorisation of Window Coverings

using Somfy Motors

Wiring Considerations

LS40 and LT 50 Motors

Problem

When the switch is turned to either the up or the down position, both motors will turn

together.

One of the motors (A) will stop at its pre-set limit before the other (B).

Current from motor (B) will then flow back through to motor (A) through capacitor

C2 and micro-switches M3 and M1.

There will be constant feedback from one motor to the other causing the motors to

continuously change direction, but with very little travel.

The motors will eventually burn out.

Solution

For one of more motors use a Somfy group controller.
