Common questions
What does the RS485 Motor Limit Setting & Address Reader Tool (9017142) do?
It is a handheld tool that sets travel limits on Somfy RS485 motors and reads their network addresses. Somfy lists it as the tool required to set limits on RS485 motors.
Which motors does it work with?
Somfy lists RS485 motors such as the Sonesse 506S2 RS485 Motor (1002286), Sonesse 50 510S2 RS485 SDN 120V Motor (1002287), Sonesse 30 RS485 24V DC (1241144) and Sonesse Ultra 50 504A8 RS485 24V DC Motor (1134022).
How does it connect?
It connects to each motor by wire through the RS485 interface. That lets an installer set limits and read addresses at the window during commissioning or a service call.
Why read motor addresses?
Each RS485 motor on a Somfy Digital Network carries an address. Reading it at the motor lets you record which shade sits where, which helps when you program keypads or a control system.
What warranty does it carry?
Somfy covers the RS485 Motor Limit Setting & Address Reader Tool with a 5-year warranty. It is built for installers who commission and service Somfy RS485 and SDN shading projects.
Is there a tool for Sonesse 30 DCT and Glydea ULTRA motors?
Yes. The Sonesse 30 ST30 Limit Setting Tool (9014599) sets limits on Sonesse 30 dry contact motors, Glydea ULTRA motors and Irismo DCT motors, and it can stay in place as a wired control.
