Common questions

What does the Tilt 50 WireFree Through-Shaft RTS motor do?

Part 1240276 motorizes the tilt of 2 in horizontal blinds in wood, faux wood, composite and metal. The through-shaft design slides onto the existing tilt rod, and the 12V DC battery power means no wiring through walls.

Which tilt rod shapes does it fit?

Somfy offers through-shaft adapters for common rods: 4mm square (9027060), 4mm D-shape (9027062), 5mm hexagonal (9025930), 5.5mm hexagonal (9025929), 6mm hexagonal (9025928), 6mm square (9025931) and 6.4mm square (9025932). Pick the adapter that matches your blind's tilt rod.

What are its torque, speed and power ratings?

Somfy rates the Tilt 50 WireFree at 1 Nm of torque and 10 rpm, with a noise level of 56 dB. It runs on 12V DC within an 8.5 V to 18 V range, draws a rated 0.45 A and uses 5.4 W in operation.

How do I power it?

It connects to an external 12V DC source. Somfy lists the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery Pack (9021217), the Reloadable 12V DC Battery Wand (9018685), the 12V DC WireFree V2 Solar Pack (9027294) and the 12V DC Plug-in Power Supply (1870940) as compatible options.

Which remote gives the most precise slat control?

Somfy pairs the Tilt 50 WireFree with the Situo 5 Variation RTS remote (1811612), which adjusts slat position in small steps for fine light control. Any Somfy RTS transmitter works, and the motor stores 12 channels.

Can I control my blinds by voice or app?

Yes. Somfy lists the TaHoma Switch as a compatible hub. The TaHoma Switch RTS and Zigbee Smart Hub (1871037) adds app control, schedules and voice commands for the Tilt 50 WireFree.
