Frequently Asked Questions:
1. What exactly is Somfy RTS technology?
Radio Technology Somfy (RTS) is Somfy's exclusive wireless communication platform. It allows you to control your motorized window treatments using a remote control, a wireless wall switch, or even a smartphone app when paired with the Somfy TaHoma Bridge. It operates on a 433.42 MHz frequency and is omni-directional, meaning you don't have to point the remote directly at the shade to operate it.
2. What size window treatment can the Sonesse 40 409R2 motor actually lift?
The lifting capacity depends on the diameter of the tube your shade is built on. With its 9 Nm of torque, this motor is quite powerful. For a standard 1.5 inch (40 mm) diameter tube, it can typically lift a shade weighing up to about 39 pounds. For a 2 inch (50 mm) tube, the capacity increases to around 31 pounds. Always check the weight of your specific shade and fabric to ensure compatibility.
3. Is professional installation required for this motor?
While we always recommend professional installation to ensure safety and optimal performance, this motor is designed to be installer friendly. The Fast Connect plug-in cable simplifies the electrical connection, and Somfy provides detailed instructions. Experienced DIYers who are comfortable with basic wiring and mechanical assembly may be able to install it themselves. However, when in doubt, consulting a professional is the best course of action.
