Advice on installing the FTS system
The FTS system is entirely dedicated to sun protection.
•
The selection charts are designed for horizontal shading or on a very slight incline (5 % max).
•
For a different application, please contact a Somfy technician who will study the feasibility of your installation with you
(screen at high incline, vertical system, system with bevel gear, etc.)
The FTS system requires correct mechanical and electrical fitting, which includes:
•
Parallel motorised shafts that are always fixed horizontally.
•
Rigid tubes and load bar (minimal flex).
•
A pre-stretched fabric (no stretching over time) that is well sewn or welded: the FTS system must be used with fabric
•
that offers good dimensional stability and resists deforming in the direction of the frame (pre-stretched acrylic or
polyester fabric for example).
Equal length and parallel straps.
•
Protection against water ingress in the actuator heads, the electrical connections and the control system.
•
An electrical installation that conforms to the applicable standards (NF C 15-100, NFC 73-800).
•
For effective protection from rain, the button covers must be refitted to the actuator setting buttons.
•
For effective protection from rain, it is strongly recommended that the roller tubes be protected with a head rail.
•
The FTS Hi-Pro actuators must always be fitted with the locking ring part no. 910002, to prevent the risk of the system falling
(heavy strains on the supports).
The load bar must be guided so that its weight does not interfere with the FTS system.
