When operators are wired in parallel, all directional wires are interconnected through the capacitors (shown in light red below), this produces interference between directions.
  • Page 14 Motor A is powered through capacitor C2 (blue line), then reverses direction and that rapid cycle continues on Motor A until Motor B reaches its upper limit. This could ultimately damage the micro-switches or/and the brake or/and the end product. Somfy Canada 1 800 667 6639...
  • Page 15 To avoid that problem use DPDT switches or controls with separated relays such as IGC and GCS Parallel Wiring voids the Somfy Warranty Somfy Canada 1 800 667 6639...
