Adapt your system to your needs If you feel that the system is not corresponding to your needs of life then you can make adaptations on the default settings. -
Page 9: System Functions
System functions Introduction In this chapter we go through all functions in detail. But first some information that is good to know to better understand the system in general. H In the system menu you can not access the functions Lock (both via unit and via external switch) or the Manual commands (both via unit and via external switch). -

If the errors still remains please contact your nearest Somfy dealer. H This function is active in both manual and automatic mode. This function is always enabled and can not be disabled. -
Page 12: Precipitation
Sensor allocation: Wind sensor allocation is used to set which wind sensor the function should listen to. The system can have two wind sensors connected and therefore the function can use either one of them or both at the same time. You can allocate differently for each zone. In “Wind unit”... -
Page 13: Manual Command - Via Control Unit
Adapt the function: If you feel that the system reacts too slow during precipitation then decrease the On delay. If you feel that the solar protection goes up and down too often during a rainy day then increase the Off delay. / Precipitation Use function. -
Page 14: Manual Command - Via External Switch
H If a manual up command is given in Automatic mode and the sun appears, then the solar protection will be ordered down. The same scenario in Manual mode will not order the solar protection down since the sun function can not get active. H As long as no other higher prioritized security functions is active you can manually control the solar protection. -

Page 16: Preserve Heat
Sensor allocation: Sun sensor allocation is used to set which sun sensor the function should listen to. The system can have two sun sensors connected and therefore the function can use either one of them or both at the same time. You can allocate differently for each zone. Remember that on and off delay is not only connected to the suns behaviour, they are also connected to temperature changes, but normally temperature is changing less rapidly compared to the sun. -

On delay and vice versa. If you find that the function is still active even though there have been sun for a while then decrease the Off delay and vice versa. / Preserve heat Use function... Set Timer... Delay... Temperature threshold... the Preserve heat function menu H This function requires an outside temperature sensor. - Page 18 Adapt the function: If you feel that the solar protection doesn’t go down even though the sun is bright then decrease the On threshold and vice versa. If you notice that solar protection go up even though it is quite bright outside then decrease the Off threshold and vice versa. If the system reacts too slow when the sun appears then decrease On Delay and vice versa.

Page 19: Motor - Running And Tilt Times
Motor - Running and Tilt times Here you set the desired down position of the solar protection (Running time) and slat angle if you are controlling a blind (Tilting time) for each zone. The easiest way to find out the required running and tilting times is to measure the time from the solar protections fully up/in position to the desired down/out position, and then enter the time values into the system. -
Page 20: Set Tilt Time
H If the solar protection doesn’t go down as far as you want when measuring the time then you have to increase the down time in the system. Default down time is 180s. For folding arms awning over patios you may not want them to go automatically fully out during sun. -
