Common questions
What comes with part 1246116?
This listing is the Glydea ULTRA 35 RTS motor unit, sold without a track. Somfy fits it with a 9.84 ft cable and a NEMA plug, so it plugs into an outlet near the drapery track.
What are the key specs of the Glydea ULTRA 35?
Somfy rates it at 0.6 Nm of torque and 105 rpm, with a noise level of 38 dB. It draws 30 W while moving and 0.27 W on standby, and carries a 5 year warranty.
What power does it need?
It accepts 100-240V AC at 50/60 Hz. The RTS receiver is built in, so the only connection at the track is the power plug and no control wiring runs to the motor.
Which remotes and switches work with it?
Any Somfy RTS transmitter works, including the Situo 1 and Situo 5 RTS Pure remotes (1870571, 1870575), the Telis 16 Channel RTS Pure remote (1811081) and DecoFlex RTS wall switches. The motor holds up to 12 channels.
Can I open my draperies from a phone?
Yes. Somfy lists the TaHoma Switch (1871037) as compatible with this motor. Add it to open and close draperies from the TaHoma app, set schedules and give voice commands.
Should I choose the Glydea ULTRA 35 or the ULTRA 60?
The ULTRA 35 delivers 0.6 Nm of drive torque for lighter curtains. For heavier or wider draperies, the Glydea ULTRA 60 RTS (1246118) delivers 1 Nm, and Somfy rates the ULTRA range for curtains up to 132 lb.
