5 - In Awning Rain mode (A), the SRS will run the awning in when the rain rate exceeds
the set rain threshold.
6 - In Awning Sun mode* (B), the SRS will run the awning in after about 15-30 min with the
sun below the set sun threshold and out after about 2 min with the sun above the threshold.
7 - In Awning Rain & Sun mode* (C), the rain and sun functions are both active but a rain
event will override the sun function until the rain rate falls below the set threshold for 5 min.
8 - The Sun and Rain threshold adjustment pots can be turned 280 deg from the minimum
setting to the maximum. (Fig 3)
9 - The Rain threshold (Fig 4) can be set from:
Min (fully CCW) = Very Light Rain/Heavy Mist/Heavy Condensation
Max (fully CW) = Very Heavy Rain.
10 - The Sun threshold (Fig 5) can be set from
Min (fully CCW) = approx 0.5klux - Facing sun with heavy cloud cover
Max (Fully CW) = approx 55klux - Facing direct summer sun with no cloud cover
11- LED indicators, The rain and sun LEDs will blink when conditions are above the
threshold, continuously in DEMO mode and every 5 sec in normal mode.

Note; In order for the SRS to activate a motor in response to sun, the sun function of the motor
must be enabled. To enable this feature, a Soliris Transmitter must be used and therefore
programmed to the motor.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions
- This device may not cause harmful interference and
- This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation
Warning! Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the users authority to operate the equipment.

5 - In S/S Rain mode (E), the SRS will send a down command when the rain rate exceeds
the set rain threshold and will not send another rain command until the rain falls below the
rain threshold for 5 min and then goes above the threshold again..
6 - In S/S Rain & Sun mode (F), Rain functions as per Mode E. A rain event will lock out the
sun function until it falls below the threshold for 5 min. Sun light detected over the sun
threshold for 2 min will cause a down (out) command. Sunlight under the threshold for 15min
will cause an up (in) command
7 - In S/S Rain & Auto mode (G), Rain functions as per Mode E. When the rain falls below
the rain threshold for 5 min continuous, the sensor will send an automatic up command.
8 - The Sun and Rain threshold adjustment pots can be turned 280 deg from the minimum
setting to the maximum. (Fig 3)
9 - The Rain threshold (Fig 4) can be set from:
Min (fully CCW) = Very Light Rain/Heavy Mist/Heavy Condensation
Max (fully CW) = Very Heavy Rain.
10 - The Sun threshold (Fig 5) can be set from

-When the rain or sun condition passes a set threshold for the delay time listed above the
command (XX) is given. Rain present locks out sun functions and normal transmitters.
- In DEMO mode the LEDs will blink when conditions are above the threshold. In normal
mode the LEDs will blink every 5 sec if conditions are above the threshold.

Installation
- Initial Charge - The Somfy Solar Rain Sensor (SRS) RTS is solar powered. Before installation
ensure the unit has an initial charge by placing the unit with the solar cell facing direct sun light.
The initial charge will take about 10 min in direct outdoor sun light.
- Mounting Bracket - The mounting is released by pushing the bracket clips gently towards
the main body of the control. The bracket can be used to mount the SRS to a vertical wall using
screws or to a 2 inch mast pole using zip ties. For a vertical wall the bracket is placed flat face
towards the wall. For a mast pole mount the curved face is mounted to the pole.
- Mounting Location - The Sensor should be mounted in a clear unobstructed location with the
sensor facing the sun in the same facing as the awning.
The sensor must be mounted with clear exposure to the rain in the same facing as the awning.
The sensor must be mounted with the clear cover facing upward as shown (correct mount), with
the sensor face at an angle. This allows excess moisture to run off and clear debris from the face.
NOTE - If the sensor is removed from a job site, it must be deleted from the motor’s memory.
