    All instructions must be followed closely regardless of the system’s specification. Failure to do so shall absolve Somfy of any responsibility and void the warranty. • The technical details of each product are available and can be supplied by Somfy’s technical services. www.somfy.com...
  • Page 3 The control unit has two types of fabric tension: dynamic tension that lasts the duration of the unwinding and the final tension after the actuators have stopped, at the end limit or following a "stop" command.

  • Page 10 Request fabric feed-out: during unwinding, the fabric actuator brakes the fabric very gently. (XIII) If the fabric unwinds too quickly, it will sag: Using a flat-blade screwdriver, gradually increase the potentiometer value (XIII) to limit the sag of the fabric. High stress on the structure! page9 www.somfy.com...
  • Page 11 Request fabric feed-out/in, followed by a "stop" order: the system will stop, and then re-tension the fabric. (XIV) Perform various tests, gradually increasing the potentiometer value (XIV), until you obtain a correct fabric tension. High stress on the structure! page10 www.somfy.com...
  • Page 12 Push button (XI) simultaneously activates the supply to the brakes on both actuators. (XI) This operation eases the system tension, for example in order to adjust its parallel alignment. N.B.: holding push button (XI) down too long (>1 minute) could damage the actuator brakes. page11 www.somfy.com...

  • Page 23: Adjusting The Dynamic Tension

    In certain cases, such as a steep inclination, it is possible to alter the position of the dip switches (XII), to obtain a low or dissymmetrical dynamic tension. These set-ups should be validated with Somfy's technical service. • The dynamic tension then needs to be adjusted using the potentiometer (XIII), graduated from 0 to 9.
