Common questions
What torque and speed does the 515A2 deliver?
Somfy rates part 1040063 at 15 Nm of torque and 20 rpm on 120V/60Hz power. It draws 1.1 A and 130 W in operation and 0 W in standby.
What is it built for?
Somfy lists it for awnings and rolling shutters. It is a standard LT50 motor with a star head, and the slower 20 rpm speed gives heavier exterior products controlled travel.
How is it wired and controlled?
It ships with a 9.84 ft SJTW cable with 4 wires, so a wired switch or relay sets the direction. It has no radio receiver, so add the Somfy Universal RTS Receiver for 110V AC motors (1810627) to run it from RTS remotes and wall switches.
What tube size and mounting parts does it need?
Somfy lists a minimum tube inside diameter of 1.85 in. The compatible parts on this page include the LT50 2.5 in Round Crown and Drive Set (9012231), the Octagonal LT50 70mm set (9012234) and the LT50 motor bracket (9410651).
How are the limits set, and how long can it run?
It uses a mechanical limit switch with a capacity of 46 turns. Somfy lists a thermal time of 5 min, so let the motor cool after long back-to-back runs. The Somfy Standard Motor Tester Cable, 4-Wire (9012116) lets an installer test-run the motor before final wiring.
Can it handle outdoor temperatures?
Yes. Somfy rates it IP 44 with a working range of -13 to 158 °F and thermal protection that trips at 284 °F. Somfy backs it with a 5-year warranty.
