maintenance conditions for the product.
• Any use outside the sphere of application specified by Somfy is not approved. Such use, or any
failure to comply with the instructions given herein will invalidate the warranty, and Somfy
refuses to accept liability.
• The equipment (interface) is for built-in use.
CAUTIONS
• Always remove the micro-USB cable horizontally and gently. Incorrect removal could cause
damage to the USB port.
• The output voltage of micro-USB power adaptor cannot exceed 5VDC @500mA
• The interface must be installed securely in a fixed position which allows a steady and level USB
input.
• Do not install the interface in metal cases as it may affect the radio signal strength.
• Install the device on the fixed mounting, e.g wall.
• Avoid dust and water, which may damage the device.
• The DCT2RTS interface and Z-WAVE2RTS interface are for internal use only.
• Do not disassemble the unit.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

• DCT2RTS gateway: Provides communication between third party home automation systems
and RTS motors through simple dry contact input interface.
• Z-Wave2RTS interface: Z-Wave enabled device (interoperable, two-way RF mesh networking
technology) that is fully compatible with any Z-Wave enabled network. Receives Z-Wave
signals and translates them into RTS commands to allow control of Somfy RTS enabled motors.
The Z-Wave2RTS interface supports mulit-channel Command Class for up to 8 devices
corresponding to control of up to 8 individual or 8 groups of Somfy motorized products.
Z-Wave enabled device acts as a signal repeater and multiple devices result in more possible
transmission routes which helps eliminate "RF dead-spots".
Z-Wave enabled device displaying the Z-Wave logo can also be used with it regardless of the
manufacturer, and ours can also be used in other manufacturer's Z-Wave enabled networks.

DCT2RTS interface setting

1. Installation
1.1. Disconnect the power
1.2. Select which type of switch will be connected (fig.1)
1.3. Wire either switches (fig.2) or dry-contact relay outputs (fig.3) to the indicated DCT
terminals at the bottom of the DCT2RTS Interface.
1.4. Connect the power. The status LED will turn green to indicate the device is operating.
2. RTS commissioning
Before using the DCT2RTS interface, we recommend programming each motor in advance
using an individual Somfy remote control (e.g. Telis) and set the limit positions of each motor.
Procedure
2.1. Select the channel of the motor on the existing remote control, hold the program
button on the remote for 3 seconds, for the motor to jog
2.2. Select the desired channel (channel 1 – channel 5) via the RTS channel selector.
2.3. Press and hold the RTS PROG button for 1 second.
2.4. RTS motor jogs; the motor is now programmed to DCT2RTS gateway.
2.5. Repeat the same procedure to remove a motor from the DCT2RTS gateway.

RTS motors functional test

2.6. Select the channel via the RTS channel selector.
2.7. Press the UP/DOWN button on DCT2RTS interface to control RTS motors.
2.8. The motor jogs to indicate the connection is successfully established. If the motor does
not respond to the command, it means the establishment failed. Repeat 1.2.1 Procedure,
Steps 1-4 again. Alternately it may simply mean that the RTS motor has been removed.
3. Operation
3.1. To activate an UP command, a minimum of 0.5 second closure is required between the
UP and COM terminals (5VDC). The status LED turns blue to indicate that RTS signal is
sent.
3.2. To activate a DOWN command, a minimum of 0.5 second closure is required between
the DOWN and COM terminals (5VDC). The status LED turns blue to indicate that RTS
signal is sent.
3.3. To activate a STOP command, a closure is required between UP, DOWN and CMD
terminals.
Attention: Press and hold the RTS_PROG button for 5 seconds, the concerned RTS motor will
enter to RTS programming mode.

Z-Wave2RTS interface setting

1. Installation
1.1 Disconnect the power (fig.4)
1.2 Locate the Z-Wave2RTS interface within direct range of the Z-Wave HUB.
1.3 Select the "appropriate channel number" on the RTS channel selector.
1.4 Connect the power. The status LED will turn green to indicate the device is operating.
1.5 The Z-WAVE LED will blink to indicate Z-WAVE2RTS interface is opened to add to Z-
WAVE network.
!! The channel number selected should reflect the number of RTS channels being applied on Z-
Wave Hub, for example, if 3 channels will be used, then select number 3 on the RTS channel
selector before powering on the Z-WAVE2RTS interface.
2. RTS commissioning
Z-Wave2RTS interface supports RTS channel 1 to channel 8. For details, please refer to
section 1.2.
3. Z-Wave network commissioning

Inclusion (Add Z-Wave2RTS interface to Z-Wave Hub)

3.1 Enable the Z-Wave HUB into the Inclusion mode.
3.2 Short press the Z-Wave PROG button for 3 times. Z-Wave2RTS interface will be added in
the Z-Wave network automatically.
3.3 The Z-WAVE LED turns OFF indicating that the Z-Wave2RTS interface has successfully
added the Z-Wave network.

Exclusion (Remove Z-Wave2RTS interface from Z-Wave Hub)

3.4 Power ON the Z-Wave2RTS interface.
3.5 Enable the Z-Wave HUB into exclusion mode.
3.6 Short press the Z-Wave PROG button for 3 times.
3.7 The Z-WAVE LED blinks indicating that the Z-Wave2RTS interface has successfully been
removed from the Z-Wave network.
Reset the Z-Wave module to factory modePlease use this procedure only in the event that
your network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.
3.8 Power OFF the Z-Wave2RTS interface.
3.9 Press and hold the Z-Wave PROG button.
3.10 Power ON the Z-Wave2RTS interface and wait for 10 seconds.
3.11 The Z-Wave LED blinks indicating that the data is cleared and it is opened to add to Z-
Wave network.
Tips: How the endpoint is used by the Z-Wave2RTS interface?
Z-Wave2RTS interface supports Z-Wave multi-channels command class. Each endpoint represents
each RTS channel. For example, endpoint no.1 equal to RTS channel no.1, endpoint no.2 equal to
RTS channel no.2 and etc. All End Points have the same Generic and Specific Device Class and
Optional Command Classes.
Generic Device Class : GENERIC_TYPE_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL
Specific Device Class : SPECIFIC_TYPE_CLASS_A_MOTOR_CONTROL
Supported Command Classes : COMMAND_CLASS_ZWAVEPLUS_INFO,
COMMAND_CLASS_ASSOCIATION_GRP_INFO,
COMMAND_CLASS_ASSOCIATION_V2,
COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL_V4
