Common questions
What is the Standard Motor Tester Cable used for?
It tests the function of a standard 4-wire Somfy motor. Somfy notes that it makes it easy to set the limit switches on LT motors before you connect the motor to its controller.
Which motors does it work with?
Somfy lists more than 140 compatible models, including Sonesse 506S2 and 510S2, T5, T6 and T8, and DMI5 and DMI6 motors. In this store that covers the Sonesse 506S2 Standard 120V 4-Wire Motor (1001814) and the DMI5 50Nm 12rpm 120V (2000776).
What voltage does it run on?
The cable operates at 120V, the North American standard. It suits the 120V 4-wire motors Somfy sells in the US, such as the LT60 660R2 Standard 120V 4-Wire Motor (1162272).
Why test a motor before installation?
A bench test confirms the motor runs and turns in the right direction before it goes into the tube or headrail. Setting limits first on LT motors saves time once the shutter or shade is in place.
What applications is it meant for?
Somfy lists rolling shutters as the application. Installers keep the cable in the service kit for bench checks before installation and for field diagnostics on 4-wire motors.
What warranty does it carry?
Somfy backs the Standard Motor Tester Cable, 4-Wire, part 9012116, with a 5-year warranty. It is a genuine Somfy test lead built for the company's wired motor range.
