SOMFY INSTRUCTIONS SUNIS WIREFREE INDOOR RTS LIGHT SENSOR

Part# 9013707

DESCRIPTION
The Sunis RTS Light Sensor is a wireless radio transmitter compatible with RTS motorized window coverings. Window or Sill mounted, the Sunis RTS operates motorized window coverings in accordance to the amount of sunlight received. Sunlight sensitivity (threshold) can be adjusted for varying degrees of sunlight intensity. Commands are transmitted by radio waves at 433.42 MHZ Power: 3V Lithium battery, CR2430 Operating temperature: 0 deg. C/32 deg. F - +60 deg. C/140 deg. F Range: Up to 65ft. Mount: Window glass/sill Dimensions: Diameter 2 3/16/(55.5mm) x Depth 3/4/(19mm) Indoor Use Only
PROGRAMMING - ADDING A SUNIS WIREFREE RTS LIGHT SENSOR- INITIAL INSTALLATION
Note: During initial programming, provide power only to motorized window covering being programmed. 1. Carefully remove rear cover to expose sensor control setting panel. 2. Set the motorized window covering into Programming Mode (Refer to the installation instructions of the relevant RTS receiver or motor for this procedure). 3. Slide the ON/OFF Selector Switch to the ON or position. FIGURE 1

4. Using a paper clip, pen or similar device, briefly press the Programming Button (for 1 second) located on the Sunis light sensor (See Figure 1). The motorized window covering will confirm the addition of the new Sunis light sensor in their respective manners. Note: Repeat steps 1-3 when multiple motors are required to operate from the Sunis light sensor

PROGRAMMING - DELETING A SUNIS WIREFREE RTS LIGHT SENSOR FROM MEMORY
1. Using a paper clip, pen or similar device, press and hold the Programming Button (for 3 seconds) on the previously addressed Sunis Light Sensor or Somfy transmitter (Telis, DecoFlex, etc.) (See Figure 1). The motorized window covering will confirm programming mode in their respective manners. 2. Using a paper clip, pen or similar device, briefly press the Programming Button (for 1 second) located on the Sunis Light Sensor to be deleted (See Figure 1). The motorized window covering will confirm the deletion of the Sunis Light Sensor in their respective manners. NOTE: Step 1 should not be performed with Thermosunis intended for deletion.

INSTALLATION - MOUNTING SUNIS WIREFREE LIGHT SENSOR TO WINDOW GLASS OR SILL
FIGURE 2 1. Attach the screw-in" suction cup mounting device for Window Mount or Sill Mount (See Figure 2). 2. Determine the appropriate mounting location and thoroughly clean window glass or sill area of debris or residue. Firmly press suction cup mount onto INSIDE window (glass or sill) positioning sensor towards the OUTSIDE of window. (See Figure 3 below).

Window Glass Mount

Note: Sunis light sensor MUST be free from obstructions in order to correctly sense incoming light. Sill mount may not be suitable for some window installations.

SETTING THE LIGHT (SUN) SENSITIVITY (THRESHOLD)
1. Carefully remove rear cover of Sunis Light sensor exposing control setting panel. 2. Slide the ON/OFF Selector Switch to the ON or position. FIGURE 4

3. Momentarily press the Mode Button. LED Indicator will illuminate for approximately 15 seconds. Note: LED Indicator light will remain illuminated for approximately 15 seconds. Should the LED Indicator light extinguish prior to establishing the light sensitivity (threshold) setting, simply press the MODE BUTTON momentarily to reactivate LED light. 4. Using a small screw driver or similar device, rotate the Sun Sensitivity Selector to the fully CLOCKWISE (+) position. LED Indicator light will illuminate (red) (See Figure 4) 5. Slowly rotate the Sun Sensitivity Selector COUNTER CLOCKWISE (-) until the LED Indicator illuminates to a green color. A green colored LED indicates the present light value (threshold). At this value (threshold) the Sunis sensor will provide the necessary DOWN COMMAND to the motorized window covering.

OPERATION - STANDARD OPERATING MODE
Standard operating mode (default) employs output response time delays. 1. Refer to previous Setting the Light (Sun) Sensitivity Threshold instructions. 2. Sunis RTS light sensor will send a DOWN COMMAND to the RTS receiver or motor after 5 minutes of sensing light within the set threshold. 3. Sunis RTS light sensor will send an UP COMMAND to the RTS receiver or motor after 30 Minutes of sensing light that HAS FALLEN BELOW THE SET THRESHOLD. Note: LED indicator light will remain illuminated for approximately 15 seconds. To confirm present light level, momentarily press the Mode Button to illuminate the LED Indicator light. GREEN LED: INDICATES SUN (Light) WITHIN THRESHOLD SETTING RED LED: INDICATES SUN (Light) BELOW THRESHOLD SETTING

REPLACING THE BATTERY

The Sunis WireFree RTS Light Sensor uses a lithium battery (Type: CR2430) LED Indicator Light will illuminate orange when battery needs replacing. 1. Carefully remove rear cover of Sunis Light sensor exposing the control setting panel (See Figure 5).

2. Firmly grip the molded indentations and rotate control setting panel counter clockwise to open position. 3. Carefully separate from sensor case to expose battery holder. 4. Replace battery with correct rated/type battery. Be certain of battery polarity (+) and (-) when installing new battery. Note: Do not use any tools when replacing the battery as there is a risk of damaging the sensor circuitry. FIGURE 5

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

PROBLEM Window covering does not react to Sunis Sensor POSSIBLE CAUSE The Sensor Selector Switch is in the OFF position. The Sensor is not programmed to motor or RTS receiver. The light sensitivity (threshold) values are incorrectly set. The battery is low/weak and needs replacing. The Sensor cover is dirty or obstructed. The Sensor is incorrectly positioned/mounted. The light sensitivity (threshold) values are incorrectly set. A bright light source is affecting the sensor. Motorized window covering (directional output) is programmed incorrectly
Window covering moves too frequently Window covering reacts incorrectly
Control Setting Panel (-) Requires Less Sunlight
