DECOFLEX RTS SWITCH Operating Instructions 1 The DecoFlex RTS Switch is a wireless radio transmitter compatible with DESCRIPTION all Somfy RTS Motors and externally mounted RTS receivers. - Commands are transmitted by radio waves at 433.42 MHz. - Power: 3V lithium battery, CR 2450 type - Operating temperature: +5oC/41oF to +40oC/104oF White: 1810813 - Range: Up to 65 Ft. Ivory: 1810814 - Fits into standard Decora Wall Plates Black: 1810830 This is a low voltage device which does not need to be mounted inside an electrical box. It can be mounted adjacent to an existing Decora style light switch or as a stand alone device using the specific SOMFY low voltage bracket (included). 2 PROGRAMMING A. ADDING A DECOFLEX RTS WALL SWITCH - INITIAL INSTALLATION FIGURE 1 IMPORTANT: for initial programming provide power only to the motor or receiver being programmed 1. Set the RTS Receiver or Motor into its Programming Mode (Refer to the installation instructions of the relevant RTS receiver or motor for this procedure). Select the Programming 2. Select the Channel to be memorized by pressing the appropriate button. The button will light. Refer to Figure 1. Button Channel 3. Using a paperclip or similar device, briefly press the programming button (1 sec max) located on the DecoFlex Switch 4. The receiver/motor will confirm the addition of the new DecoFlex Switch in their respective manners. B. ADDING MULTIPLE DECOFLEX WALL SWITCHES 1. Place the receiver or motor into programming mode by pressing and holding the programming button (for 3 sec.) of a DecoFlex switch or Telis Transmitter that has been previously memorized. There is no need to access the external receiver for this operation. 2. The receiver/motor will confirm PROGRAMMING MODE in their respective manners. 3. Select the NEW channel or RTS Switch to be memorized. Press the programming button (1 sec. max.) on the DecoFlex RTS switch. 4. The receiver/motor will confirm the addition of the new RTS Switch or Channel in their respective manners. C. REMOVING A DECOFLEX RTS SWITCH FROM THE MOTOR OR RECEIVER’S MEMORY 1. Place the receiver or motor into programming mode by pressing and holding the programming button (for 3 sec.) of a DecoFlex RTS Switch or Telis Transmitter that has been previously memorized. It should NOT be the one to be removed from memory. 2. The receiver/motor will confirm PROGRAMMING MODE in their respective manners. 3. Select the RTS Switch or Channel to be removed from memory. Press the programming button (1 sec. max.) on the RTS switch. 4. The receiver/motor will confirm the removal of the RTS Switch or Channel in their respective manners. 3 OPERATION 1. Select the channel of the window treatment to be operated by pressing the appropriate button. The button will light. FIGURE 2 Refer to Figure 2. 2. To raise the window treatment, press the UP button. Similarly, to lower the window treatment, press the DOWN button. Select the 3. To stop the window treatment at any time, simply press the STOP button.

4 MOUNTING METHOD The special SOMFY low voltage bracket is specifically designed to mount the DecoFlex RTS wall switch next to an existing Decora light switch with an electrical box already behind the drywall. This bracket differs from other off-the-shelf low voltage brackets because it is offset on one side. This allows a double gang Decora style cover plate to fit over both switches without installing a double gang electrical box behind the drywall. It is also possible to mount this bracket as a stand alone low voltage device. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE NOTE: This bracket is designed for an existing electrical box already behind the sheetrock. If a retrofit electrical box was used, it is recommended to remove the single gang and replace it with a double gang retrofit box. 1. Orient the brackets flat side against 2. Align the inside edge of the thin side of the bracket with 3. Cut traced opening into drywall. Be careful the wall keeping the thin side closest to the outside edge of the switch box.
