RTS & IR Modules:
These modules are easily inserted into the top of the motor controller. To insert an RTS or IR module
it may be necessary to first remove the two protective covers which enclose the wire connections of the motor and switch
sides of the control. Next, remove the module cover. Once removed you will see a black socket with contacts. Insert the
IR or RTS module so that the contacts line up with the contact on the socket inside the control. Take caution to insert the
module fully so that the top of the module is flush with the top of the controller.
For RTS & IR Module programming and operation refer to the instructions included with each device.
Integration with Home Automation or Building Automation Systems:
The Animeo RS-485 motor controller family easily integrates into any system with RS-232 or RS-485 capabilities. RS-232
systems will require and RS-232 to RS-485 adaptor.
When integrating with third party systems it may be necessary to generate the hexadecimal command strings to input into
the master controller. The “Command String Calculator” can be found on the Somfy website, www.somfysystems.com.

Choose Group Address and display all commands. Enter the group address or ID and click calculate.
**
NOTE:
When programming accessory devices for control the inverted group address must be used in the
command.
Accessory devices include the programmable smart switches, IP Interface and any automation systems.
For example, group address or ID:
EDCBA9
Determine inverted address by subtracting the address or ID from FFFFFF.
FFFFFF
- EDCBA9
123456
123456
is the group address in which must be used to operate the programmed group of EDCBA9.
To determine the inverted address use the pc calculator set to scientific mode
