IMPORTANT - Read the entire instructions and ensure the unit is charged before starting installation (see installation section) This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions
- This device may not cause harmful interference and
- This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation Warning! Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the users authority to operate the equipment. Mode and Threshold Selection - Awning 1 - Open the hatch by pressing the latch toward the hatch and pulling outward (Fig 1) 2 - Inside the hatch you will see the Rain and Sun threshold adjustment pots, the DEMO and Program Buttons and the Mode Dip Switches (Fig 2). 3 - Do not remove the sticker over dip switches 3 and 4. Only Dip switches 1 and 2 will be used to select the Mode for normal Awning use. 4 - Select the desired mode using dip switches 1 and 2. Dips 3 and 4 should remain off.

(Fig 3) 9 - The Rain threshold (Fig 4) can be set from:
Min (fully CCW) = Very Light Rain/Heavy Mist/Heavy Condensation Max (fully CW) = Very Heavy Rain. 10 - The Sun threshold (Fig 5) can be set from Min (fully CCW) = approx 0.5klux - Facing sun with heavy cloud cover Max (Fully CW) = approx 55klux - Facing direct summer sun with no cloud cover 11- LED indicators, The rain and sun LEDs will blink when conditions are above the threshold, continuously in DEMO mode and every 5 sec in normal mode. Note; In order for the SRS to activate a motor in response to sun, the sun function of the motor must be enabled. To enable this feature, a Soliris Transmitter must be used and therefore programmed to the motor.

A rain event will lock out the sun function until it falls below the threshold for 5 min. Sun light detected over the sun threshold for 2 min will cause a down (out) command. Sunlight under the threshold for 15min will cause an up (in) command 7 - In S/S Rain & Auto mode (G), Rain functions as per Mode E. When the rain falls below the rain threshold for 5 min continuous, the sensor will send an automatic up command. 8 - The Sun and Rain threshold adjustment pots can be turned 280 deg from the minimum setting to the maximum.

(see next section) Programming
*Before programming ensure the sensor is set to the desired mode (Mode selection - Step 4 on page 1) and ensure the unit is charged (see below) Adding the sensor 1- Put the motor into learning mode by pressing the programming button on an already programmed transmitter until the motor jogs. 2- Open the hatch on the sensor and press the programming button. The motor will jog. Deleting the sensor Repeat steps 1 and 2 above.
-When the rain or sun condition passes a set threshold for the delay time listed above the command (XX) is given. Rain present locks out sun functions and normal transmitters.
- In DEMO mode the LEDs will blink when conditions are above the threshold. In normal mode the LEDs will blink every 5 sec if conditions are above the threshold. Installation
- Initial Charge - The Somfy Solar Rain Sensor (SRS) RTS is solar powered. Before installation ensure the unit has an initial charge by placing the unit with the solar cell facing direct sun light. The initial charge will take about 10 min in direct outdoor sun light.
- Mounting Bracket - The mounting is released by pushing the bracket clips gently towards the main body of the control. The bracket can be used to mount the SRS to a vertical wall using screws or to a 2 inch mast pole using zip ties. For a vertical wall the bracket is placed at face towards the wall. For a mast pole mount the curved face is mounted to the pole.
- Mounting Location - The Sensor should be mounted in a clear unobstructed location with the sensor facing the sun in the same facing as the awning. The sensor must be mounted with clear exposure to the rain in the same facing as the awning. The sensor must be mounted with the clear cover facing upward as shown (correct mount), with the sensor face at an angle. This allows excess moisture to run off and clear debris from the face. NOTE - If the sensor is removed from a job site, it must be deleted from the motors memory.

Note - Mode will have to be selected (see below) before the sensor can be programmed to the motor. 1 2 3 4 Off - Power Saving Awning functional setting - In these settings the rain sensor programs and functions as a sensor.
*Note - The Somfy Rain Sensor must be removed from motor memory if it is removed from operation. Failure to remove the sensor from motor memory will cause the awning to retract at regular periods. A B C D ON Awning Rain - Rain detect over threshold sends an up command and locks the motor up until 5 min after last rain detected over threshold. 2 1 4 Awning Rain 3 ON Awning Sun - Sun light detected over the threshold for 2 min will cause a down (out) command. Sunlight under the threshold for 15-30 min will cause an up (in) command. 2 1 4 Awning Sun 3 ON 1 2 3 4 Awning Rain & Sun ON 1 2 3 4 Awning Sensor Test Awning Rain & Sun - Both Rain and Sun functions will work as described above for Modes A & B. However the rain function will have priority and will lock out sun functions and user commands until 5 min past the last rain detected over the rain threshold. Awning Sensor Test - Allows a test of the sensor programmed to the motor. In this Mode pressing the Demo button will send a Demo high sun command that will extend the awning. This allows the installer to conrm with the out movement the unit is programmed correctly. This Mode is for testing only. Do not leave the unit in this mode for normal operation. Shutter/Screen functional setting - In these settings the rain sensor programs and functions as a transmitter. E F G H ON 1 2 3 4 Shutter/Screen Rain ON 2 1 4 S/S Rain & Sun 3 Shutter/Screen Rain - Rain detect over threshold sends a down command. The unit must detect 5 min with rain below the threshold before it will clear and send another command at rain over the threshold. Rain does not lock the motor. It will respond to new transmitter commands. S/S Rain & Sun - Rain functions as per Mode E. A rain event will lock out the sun function until it falls below the threshold for 5 min. Sun light detected over the sun threshold for 2 min will cause a down
(out) command. Sunlight under the threshold for 15min will cause an up (in) command. ON S/S Rain & Auto Up - Rain functions as per Mode E. When the rain falls below the rain threshold for 5 min continuous, the sensor will send an automatic up command. 1 2 3 4 S/S Rain & Auto Up ON 1 2 3 4 S/S Transmitter Test S/S Transmitter Test - Allows a test of the sensor programmed to the motor. In this Mode pressing the Demo button will send a down transmitter command. This allows the installer to conrm with the down movement, the unit is programmed correctly. This Mode is for testing only. Do not leave the unit in this mode for normal operation. Important - The rain sensor if programmed to a motor must be deleted from the motors memory before it is changed between Awning or Shutter/Screen mode. Do not change between Awning and Shutter/Screen modes without deleting the sensor from the motors memory rst. Below are non-functional Dip Switch setting.
