Somfy Maestria 50 RTS Motors — Quick Programming Guide

Quick Programming Guide for Somfy Maestria™ 50 RTS motors — covers setting travel limits, checking rotation direction, and adjusting obstacle detection sensitivity via a hand-held RTS transmitter.

Important: While programming, screens should not sit idle for more than 2 minutes or the motor will exit programming mode — if that happens, start over from Step 1.

1. Initiate Programming

On the transmitter, press and hold both UP and DOWN simultaneously until the screen jogs (short jog). This is the same procedure used with Altus motors.

2. Check the Direction of Operation

Note: If the hand-held transmitter's direction is not properly programmed, an Eolis/Soliris RTS sensor will not function as intended — this can cause damage to the screen or injury.

Check the direction of rotation by pressing UP or DOWN. If the direction is wrong, press and hold the MY button until the screen jogs to reverse it.

3. Manual Adjustment of Travel Limits

1. Position the screen at the desired UPPER limit.
2. Press MY and DOWN simultaneously — the screen lowers.
3. Position the screen at the desired LOWER limit.
4. Press MY and UP simultaneously — the screen raises.
5. Press MY until the screen jogs, to validate the end-limit setting.
6. Press and hold the programming button on the back of the transmitter (with a paper clip or similar object) until the motor jogs.

Obstacle Detection — Choosing the Detection Level

This function lets you deactivate obstacle detection during the downward movement, or increase sensitivity above the default level. All button presses must be completed within 2 seconds of the previous press, or you must repeat Step 1 to re-enter setting mode.

1. Enter obstacle setting mode: move the screen to the half-way position, press MY and UP briefly, then MY and UP again for 2 seconds — the screen jogs.
2. Change the default level:
   • To deactivate detection: press UP within 2 seconds, then press UP again.
   • To increase sensitivity: press DOWN within 2 seconds, then press UP again.
   If the actuator returns to User Mode, repeat Step 1. A short jog means you've reached the default setting (press the same direction button again to continue); a long jog confirms the new setting was applied.
3. Confirm & exit: press MY/STOP for 2 seconds — the screen jogs briefly to confirm the new setting.

The registered level of obstacle detection is reached again the next time you enter Step 1.
