Common questions
What does the 400 Series to 500 Series adaptor kit do?
It lets a Somfy 400 Series motor drive 500 Series crown and drive hardware. Part 9012226 bridges the 40mm LS40 motor interface to LT50 class components, so an installer can keep existing tube hardware when motor generations change.
Which motors does it fit?
Somfy 400 Series motors, the LS40 40mm family. The kit mates that motor to 500 Series crowns and drives. Confirm the head type and tube interface on your assembly before you order, because the kit changes the crown and drive side alone.
Which crowns and drives pair with it?
Somfy 500 Series crown and drive components. Compatible parts for this kit include the LT50 2.5 inch Crown 9707026, the LT50 2 inch Hard Clip Drive 9206088 and the Octagonal LT50 70mm Crown and Drive Set 9012234.
Which tubes work with this setup?
The tube follows the crown and drive you choose. Compatible tubes for this kit include the Somfy 2 inch Profiled Roller Tube 1781798, the 2.5 inch OD Aluminum Tube 1781343 and the 40mm Octagonal Tube 1781154.
Does the kit need power or wiring?
No. The kit is mechanical. It carries the drive connection between the motor head and the tube, and it takes no power feed or control wiring. The motor keeps its own supply and its own control method, whether that is RTS radio or a wired switch.
How does it go together?
The pieces slide on. The crown seats inside the tube and the drive seats on the motor head, which keeps rotation concentric. Dry fit the motor, crown, drive and tube before you cut the tube to final length.
