Installation of Somfy Sonesse 40 (3Nm, 30rpm) Motor

1. Preparation

  • Ensure you have the correct power supply (typically 230V AC or 24V DC depending on the model).
  • Check that the tubes and mounts are compatible with your motor.
  • Have a switch or remote control ready if needed.

2. Electrical Connection

The electrical connection depends on the motor model:

230V AC Version (3-wire)

  • Brown = Live (L)
  • Blue = Neutral (N)
  • Black = Up or Down (depending on installation)
  • Earth = Yellow/Green (if the motor has grounding)

For control, use a toggle switch or Somfy’s control systems like Tahoma, RTS, or IO.

24V DC Version (if applicable)

  • Red = Positive (+)
  • Black = Negative (-)
  • White wires = Control signal (depending on the system)

3. Mounting the Motor

  • Secure the motor in the tube adapter and bracket.
  • Check that the shaft fits and that the motor is properly secured.
  • Connect power and test that the motor rotates in the correct direction.

4. Setting the End Limits

  • For models with manual adjustment: Adjust the screws on the motor head (using a screwdriver).
  • For RTS/IO models: Program the end limits via the remote control according to the manual.

5. Test Run

  • Run the motor up and down and check that the end limits work correctly.
  • If it moves in the wrong direction, swap the control wires (230V) or reprogram the control system (for RTS/IO).
