Any use of this product outside the field of application
described in this manual is prohibited (see "Field of
application" paragraph in the installation manual).
The use of any safety accessories not validated by Somfy
is prohibited.
Somfy cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from
failure to follow the instructions in this manual.

The instructions may be modified if and when there is a
change to the standards or to the motorisation.

1.3 Preliminary checks

> Installation environment
ATTENTION
Do not spray water onto the motorisation.
Do not install the motorisation in an explosive environment.
Check that the temperature range marked on the drive is
suited to the installation location.
> Condition of the gate to be motorised
Do not motorise a gate which is in poor condition or
incorrectly installed.
Before installing the motorisation, check that:
- the gate is in good mechanical condition
- the gate is correctly balanced
- the gate is not equipped with any manual or electric locking
system (unless compatible with the Somfy motorisation)
- the structures supporting the gate enable the motorisation
to be securely fixed. Strengthen these if necessary.
- the gate can be opened and closed properly using a force
of less than 150 N.

1.4 Electrical installation

The installation of the power supply must comply with the
standards in force in the country in which the motorisation
is installed, and must be carried out by qualified personnel.
The electric line must be exclusively reserved for the
motorisation and equipped with protection, comprising:
- a 10 A fuse or breaker,
- a differential type device (30 mA).
The switches provided to ensure a cut-out of all poles on
fixed appliances must be connected to the power supply
terminals and there must a separation between the contacts
on all poles to ensure complete disconnection in conditions
where category III high impulse voltage is present.
It is recommended that you fit a lightning conductor
(mandatory maximum residual voltage 2 kV).
> Cable feed
Underground cables must be equipped with a protective
sheath with a sufficient diameter to contain the motor cable
and the accessories cables.
Low-voltage cables subjected to inclement weather must be
at least H07RNF-type cables.
For overground cables, use a cable grommet that will
withstand the weight of vehicles (ref. 2400484).

DANGER

1.5 Safety instructions relating to installation

Do not connect the motorisation to a power source (mains,
battery or solar) before installation is complete.
Ensure that any danger zones (crushing, cutting, trapping)
between the driven part and the surrounding fixed elements
caused by the opening movement of the driven part are
avoided or indicated on the installation (see the section
entitled "Danger zones").
Modifying one of the elements provided in this kit or using
an additional element not recommended in this manual is
strictly prohibited.
Monitor the gate as it moves and keep people away from it
until installation is complete.
Do not use adhesive to secure the motorisation.
Take care when using the manual unlocking control.
Manual unlocking may result in uncontrolled movement of
the gate.
ATTENTION
Install any fixed control device at a height of at least 1.5 m
and within sight of the gate, but away from moving parts.
After installation, ensure that:
- the mechanism is correctly adjusted
- the manual unlocking device is operating correctly
- the motorisation changes direction when the gate
encounters an object measuring 50 mm positioned
halfway up the leaf.
For the installation to be compliant, an active safety edge
must be installed.
> Safety devices
For operation in automatic mode or remote control,
photoelectric cells must be installed.
For operation in automatic mode, or if the gate faces a public
road, an orange light type signalling device may be required
to comply with the regulations in the country in which the
motorisation is installed.
> Clothing precautions
Take off any jewellery (bracelet, chain, etc.) during
installation.
For manoeuvring, drilling and welding operations, wear
appropriate protection (special glasses, gloves, ear
protection, etc.).
