Frequently Asked Questions - SGS Essential SOMFY

How to program an additional remote?
Press the button on the control electronics for 2 seconds, the indicator lights up. Place the remote on the target, then briefly press the desired button. The RADIO indicator lights up then goes off. The remote is memorized for full opening.
How to adjust the opening stop?
After powering on, use the remote to open the leaf to the desired position. Tighten the integrated opening stop with a 3 mm Allen key until contact, then 2 additional turns. Repeat for the other leaf.
What to do if the gate reopens at the end of closing?
Loosen the fixing brackets of the actuators on the leaves and shift them slightly towards the center of the gate. This adjusts the obstacle detection.
How to manually release the gate in case of power failure?
Unclip the release part on each actuator and remove the actuator from the leaf fixing bracket. The gate can then be operated manually.
Can I install a backup battery?
Yes, a backup battery is available as an option. It provides approximately 10 continuous cycles or 24 hours in standby. Connection is made to the BATT terminals on the control unit.
Is the motorization compatible with solar power?
Yes, a solar power supply is available as an option. Warning: never connect both mains and solar power simultaneously. In solar mode, wired controls are disabled, only remotes and safety accessories remain active.
What is the recommended maintenance frequency?
Check the condition of cables and mounting monthly, and test the obstacle detection with a 50 mm object. Clean the optics of photoelectric cells regularly if present.
How to change the remote battery?
For 2 or 4-button remotes, remove the clip, lift the cover with a screwdriver, replace the battery with a CR2430 or CR2032. For the 3-button model, unscrew the back, replace the battery, then screw back.
What safety devices are included?
Built-in automatic obstacle detection (reverses movement during closing), integrated opening stops, stop during opening. Photoelectric cells and a flashing light are recommended for optimal safety.
What to do if the control box indicator flashes 3 times?
This indicates a photoelectric cell fault. Check that no obstacle blocks them, that they are properly aligned and wired. If they are intentionally disconnected, disable automatic closing via the indicated procedure.

natural_image Simple line drawing of a door with a cross symbol at the center (no text or labels)

Reinforcements

The motors must be fastened to the horizontal reinforcements of the gate leaves, which should ideally be positioned 1/3 up the gate.

If there are no reinforcements, use metal reinforcement backplates approximately 4 mm thick.

Closing end stops on the ground

The gate's closing travel must be delimited by end stops firmly anchored in the ground.

The opening stops are built into the motor (see "Opening stop setting", page 21).

Note: in the specific case of pillars between 7 and 10 cm wide, built-in opening stops cannot be used, ground-anchored stops will be required.

Mechanical lock

If the gate is equipped with a mechanical lock, it must be removed.

Pillars

The pillars should have a robust structure and be at least 7 cm wide. Small pillars will need to be reinforced by casting concrete inside, to improve their robustness and hold.

It is not recommended to mount the bracket level with the pillar: risk of spalling.

Electrical pre-equipment

Cables required

  • Mains power supply: 3 × 1.5 ~mm^2 cable or 3 × 2.5 ~mm^2 for outdoor use (at least H07RN-F).
