5.1 Remote controls presentation
Depending on the chosen parameter settings, Somfy RTS remote controls can control:
- complete opening of the gate
- pedestrian opening of the gate
- another Somfy RTS device (e.g.: garage door motor, roller shutter, etc.) The remote controls supplied with the kit are already memorised and programmed so that button 1 on the remote controls requests complete opening of the gate. You can memorise up to 16 control points (remote controls, other radio control point). If you memorise a 17th control point, the fi rst point memorised will automatically be deleted. If you wish to program pedestrian opening, it must be programmed on the button following programming of the complete opening (e.g.: complete opening controlled by button 2, pedestrian opening controlled by button 3). It is not possible to programme pedestrian opening on button 1 of the remote controls. 2-button remote control programming options Button
