All connections must be made with the power off and the battery disconnected.
Do not connect to a power source (mains, battery or solar) before installation is complete.
Ensure that any danger zones (crushing, cutting, trapping) between the driven part and the surrounding fixed
elements caused by the opening movement of the driven part are avoided or indicated on the installation (see the
section on risk prevention).
Modifying one of the elements provided in this kit or using an additional element not recommended in the installation
guide for the motorisation is strictly prohibited.
During installation, particularly when setting the motorisation, it is crucial to ensure that no-one is in the product's
movement zone both at the start of and during the setting operation.
Do not use adhesive to secure the motorisation.
Ensure you can see the product when it is in movement.
Be careful when handling the motorisation to prevent any risk of injury.
Manual unlocking may result in uncontrolled movement of the product.
The control devices must be moved away from the moving parts and installed at a minimum height of 1.5 m.
After installation, ensure that the mechanism is correctly adjusted and that the protection system and any manual
release mechanism operate correctly.
Permanently affix the label concerning the manual back release device near to its mobile component.
If the installation does not correspond to one of the scenarios described in this guide, it is crucial to contact us so
that we can provide all the elements required to ensure correct installation with no risk of damage.
Safety devices
The use of any safety accessories not validated by Somfy is prohibited.
For gate and garage door motorisations, the cells and the orange light are mandatory for operation in automatic
mode and out of sight of the automated product. The orange light must be visible from both inside and outside the
property.
As stated in EN 12453, which relates to the safe use of motorised doors and gates, the use of a TAHOMA/Somfy
Box unit for controlling an automatic garage door or gate control system, where the user cannot be seen, requires
the mandatory installation of a photoelectric cell type safety device on this automatic control system.
The correct operation of the photoelectric cells must be checked every 6 months.
Clothing precautions
Take off your jewellery (bracelet, chain, etc.) during installation.
For drilling and welding operations, wear special glasses and appropriate protection (gloves, ear protection).
SAFETy INSTRUCTIONS RELATING TO INSTALLATION
230v power supply input (not required for a solar power supply)
The installation of the power supply must comply with the standards in force in the country where the product is
installed (NF C 15-100 for France) and must be carried out by qualified personnel whenever possible.
Use a 3 x 1.5 mm² cable, of a maximum length of 300 m. If the installation requires the cable to be longer than
300 m, use a solar power supply.
The electrical line must be:
• used solely for the motorisation.
• fitted with protection: – a 10 A fuse or breaker,
– a differential type device (30 mA).
An all-pole supply cut-off device must be provided.
Provide a connection to earth when class 1 peripheral devices are connected (zone lighting).
It is recommended that you fit a lightning conductor (maximum residual voltage 2 kV).
Cable feed
If you intend to bury the cables, use a protective sheath with a sufficient diameter to feed the motor cable and the
cables for the accessories that you wish to install.
If a cable conduit cannot be made between the pillars, use a cable grommet which will withstand the passage of
vehicles (ref. 2400484).
