Motor moving in reverse
Possible Cause
Motor polarity reversed.
Solution
Disconnect the data cable running from the motor, connected to the gray jumper. Plug the data cable directly into the back of the Somfy wall switch. Move the dip switch toggle on the back of the wall switch into the down position. Press and hold the stop button for 5 seconds and then release. Polarity should then reverse. Move dip-switch back into the center position.
Wrinkles near bottom of the screen
Possible Cause
Screen material has stretched and thus increased the tension on the tabs.
Solution
Follow the “setting optimum tension” procedure in the adjusting screen tension section of your instruction manual. Make sure material is evenly distributed on the weight bar. If you do not have the original instruction manual for your screen, please contact our customer service team.

Motor shuts off. Motor has been in use for more than two minutes
Possible Cause
Motor is designed for short operations (lowering and retracting), continuous duty. Longer operation causes the motor to overheat and shutoff. This typically happens during installation when testing the screen.
Solution
Allow the motor to cool down. Complete cooling can take an hour or mor. Heat gain is cumulative and takes time to dissipate. If the motor use is initiated before it has cooled completely, the motor will shut down again when it reaches maximum temperature.
