Group control system:

GROUP CONTROL SYSTEM II (GCS-II)

DESCRIPTION
The Group Control System-II (GCS-II) permits low voltage control of up to four SOMFY operators with one or more switches, from one or more locations. Optional low voltage control can be accomplished using SOMFY's Decorator Somfy-Matic™, Decorator Comfort Control or Radio Remote Control Kit. The GCS-II offers only group control, and does not have the capability of operating each motor individually. The Group Control System-II is UL and cUL approved. For applications requiring more than 4 motors operated by the same switch, the GCS-II can be daisy-chained by way of the low voltage switch terminals.

Individual Group Control:

INDIVIDUAL-GROUP CONTROL
(IGC AND IGC/3N1)

DESCRIPTION
The IGC provides control of one or more motors in groups and/or individually from one or more locations. This advanced yet simple to install modular control system can be activated manually or automatically. The heart of the system is the IGC Motor Controller used for each motor. However, greater economy can be obtained using the IGC/3N1 version for those jobs that call for controlling three or more motors individually or in groups.

The IGC is a very flexible control system that can be configured in a variety of ways (i.e., individual window control, floor control, total building control, etc.) to meet the requirements of your customers.

The Individual IGC Controller has an added feature. It is equipped with a dry contact input that can interface with a window alarm system. One typical application is for casement windows; when the window is open, the motor will not operate. This is to help prevent damage to window treatments.

INFRARED SWITCH

DESCRIPTION

The Infrared Switch is designed to provide remote access to many of SOMFY's standard controls. By incorporating an addressable infrared sensor into SOMFY's Decorator IGC switch, individual and master control is possible from a single infrared transmitter. The Infrared switch is compatible with the IGC, GCS-II, IGC-HB, IGC II and MCIR. Up to 15 addresses can be assigned in a variety of configurations (i.e. individual window control, room control, floor control, etc.) to meet the requirements of your customers.

MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Overall Dimensions:   W: 2 3/4 in.   H: 4 1/2 in.   D: 1 1/4 in.

Typical Range in Optimal Conditions: 20ft.

Installs in a standard single gang electrical box.

OPERATING PROCEDURES

Connect from the modular connector on the IR Switch to the modular connector on the IGC or GCS. On the IGC, the switch can be connected to either the Master or Individual ports. Refer to instructions for details.

Set the unit address using the rotary switch. Position 1 refers to IR address 1, and position F refers to IR address 15. Position 0 is used only for the single channel transmitter.

Mount the IR Switch in a single gang box. Ensure nothing obstructs the sensor opening.

Operate each motor in one direction using either the push button switch or the infrared transmitter. If the motor does not move in the correct direction, reverse the red and brown wires at the motor. Please refer to IGC or GCS instructions for further information.

OPTIONS
SINGLE CHANNEL TRANSMITTER: A single motor (address number 0) or group can be operated by pressing either the UP or DOWN buttons on the transmitter. Pressing the center button will stop the motor at its present position. 1 Channel IRS
Transmitter Cat. No. 6300879

EIGHT CHANNEL TRANSMITTER: This transmitter has the ability to activate up to 8 motors or groups individually. Press the address of the switch you wish to operate, then the directional command. Pressing a group command (1-4, 5-8, 1-8) and then a direction will activate all switches in the chosen group that are within transmitter range. 8 Channel IR
Transmitter Cat. No. 6300988

15 CHANNEL TRANSMITTER: This transmitter has the ability to control up to 15 switches (Address numbers 1-15) individually or as a group. Each individual switch is activated by first pressing the desired unit number on the transmitter and then pressing the OPEN or CLOSE buttons. Pressing the ALL button on the infrared transmitter will cause all switches within transmitter range to activate. Please refer to the transmitter instructions for further information. 15 Channel IRC 2000

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

INDIVIDUAL CONTROL (One Channel)

The first illustration shows a single channel transmitter controlling a single motor.

In the second illustration, an eight channel transmitter provides individual and master control. Each switch has a unique address.

Any number of motors can be operated as a group using the IR Switch-GCS version.

Wireless radio remote control:

WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL

DESCRIPTION:

The new SOMFY Wireless Remote Control is a single motor control designed for residential use. This unit features an integrated radio receiver and input terminals for an optional low voltage switch. For security and convenience, both transmitter and receiver are addressable, with over 1000 possible codes. The Wireless Remote Control is packaged in a weatherproof enclosure and includes watertight strain-relief fittings for wires entering the box. This single motor control is ideal for both new construction and home improvement, installing fast and easy near the motor and reducing overall wiring costs. It uses a hand-held radio transmitter that features UP, DOWN, and STOP buttons. An individual-group effect can be achieved with low voltage switches using two methods; addressing all transmitters and receivers alike and maintaining individual switches for each motor, or interconnecting the switch line and maintaining unique transmitter/receivers for each motor.

OUTPUT: 120 VAC 3.15 A 1/4 HP

Approvals: The Wireless Remote Control is UL508 (pending) for industrial controls (UL, cUL)
CE approved

Complies with the National Electrical Code (NEC) Standards

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING PROCEDURES

The Wireless Remote Control should be mounted as close to the motor as possible. If mounted outside, ensure that the connections are facing down to avoid rain seepage.
Make sure to use included watertight strain relief fittings to maintain the weatherproofing of the enclosure. Please straighten the radio antenna. Avoid mounting the antenna parallel to AC lines.
If using the optional low voltage switch, it should be mounted no more than 100 feet from the control.
Ensure the address code of both transmitter and receiver are identical. If not, simply change the switch settings on the selector of the transmitter or receiver to make them the same.
Pressing the DOWN button on the radio transmitter or low voltage switch will move the window treatment down or out. If the motor does not move in the correct direction, turn off the circuit breakers and reverse the red and black wires of the motor.
Pressing the STOP button on the radio transmitter or low voltage switch will stop the motor in its present position.
