OPERATING PROCEDURES
SETTING THE WIND AND SUN LEVELS
TEST PROCEDURES
1. Pressing the UP button will move the awning in, while the
DOWN button will extend the awning when pressed. If the
motor does not move in the correct direction, the incorrect
model Outdoor DSM is installed. The appropriate model
Outdoor DSM must be obtained..
2. Pressing the STOP button will stop the motor in its present
position.
3. When the monitored sun intensity is greater than the Outdoor
Somfy Matic setting, the DOWN direction will activate after 3.5
minutes. The sun LED will light for as long as this condition
exists. If the sun intensity is less than the Outdoor DSM setting,
the UP direction will activate, if previously down, after 12
minutes. The sun LED will blink during this time period.
4. When the monitored wind speed is greater than the Outdoor
DSM setting, the UP direction will activate after 2 seconds. The
wind LED will light as long as this condition exists. When the
wind speed drops below the set value, the Somfy Matic will
return to normal mode after 15 minutes. The wind LED will
blink and the motors are prevented from operating during this
time period.
5. When the AUTO button is pressed, the AUTO LED will turn on
or off depending on its previous status. Manual mode is
designated by the LED being off. If the Outdoor Somfy Matic is
in manual mode, the sun level has no influence on motor
control. The wind speed is constantly monitored and acted on
regardless of AUTO setting.
1. Pressing the sun set button for less than 2 seconds will display
the current sun setting on the row of yellow LEDs. One LED will
light for 5 seconds to signify the level. The Outdoor DSM is
factory preset at the exact middle.
2. Pressing the wind button (which is only accessible by inserting a
thin tool such as a pencil point through an opening in the front
plate) for less that 2 seconds will display the current wind setting
on the row of red LEDs. One LED will light for 5 seconds,
signifying the present level. The wind speed LEDs are divided
as follows; the bottom LED is 12 m.p.h., with each higher LED
increasing in increments of 3. The top LED is equivalent to 31
m.p.h. The Outdoor Somfy Matic is factory preset to 22 m.p.h.,
or the middle LED.
3. Depressing the wind or sun switch for more than 2 seconds will
cause the coinciding row of LEDs to turn on in sequence.
Starting from the bottom LED, or lowest level, to the top LED, or
hightest level, the sequence will repeat until the set button is
released. When the LED matching the desired level is lit, release
the button. This will establish the new threshold setting.

To verify proper operation of the Decorator Somfy Matic after initial
installation, please follow the following steps.
1. Verify proper operation of the motor; pressing the
UP button should bring the awning in, pressing
DOWN should extend the awning out, and the STOP
button should stop the awning at its present
position.
2. The AUTO LED should turn on and off when the
AUTO switch is pressed.
3. The sun level LEDs should light if the sensor is
activated by either the sun or other light source,
such as a flashlight.
4. The wind level LEDs should light if the sensor is
spun either by hand or other source, such as a
garden hose or fan.
5. To reset the lock-out delay, interrupt the power to the
