The DecoFlex RTS Switch is a wireless radio transmitter compatible with all Somfy RTS Motors and externally mounted RTS receivers.

- Power: 3V lithium battery, CR 2450 type

Commands are transmitted by radio waves at 433.42 MHz.

The Somfy DecoFlex RTS switch is a low voltage device which does not require an electrical box. It can be mounted adjacent to an existing

Decora style light switch or as a stand-alone device using the (included) SOMFY low voltage mounting bracket (See installation section for details).

Note: During initial programming it is recommended to provide power only to the motor or RTS receiver being programmed.

A previously programmed Telis transmitter can be used to add a new DecoFlex RTS Wall Switch to the Motorized Window Covering. If a Telis transmitter

has not been previously programmed, please refer to the installation/programming instructions of the relevant RTS motorized window covering.

OPERATING THE DECOFLEX SWITCH

NOTE: If a command button (UP, DOWN, STOP,) is pressed without a channel button(s) selected, the DecoFlex will default to the channel

button(s) previously selected. Selecting multiple CHANNEL BUTTONS for “group” activation will result in a sequential-output whereby each

channel will activate in sequence from channel 1-5.

Included is a special SOMFY low voltage device mounting bracket which attaches to drywall and eliminates the need for an electrical

box. The bracket can be used in two mounting type configurations, they are as follows:

1. The bracket is specifically designed for mounting the DecoFlex RTS wall switch to an adjacent (pre-existing) Decora style light switch (see below).

This unique mounting bracket allows the necessary spacing for 2 adjacent switches and a new "Double Gang" (2 Gang) face/cover plate to be

installed (See photo 8) resulting in an aesthetically pleasing professional installation.

2. The bracket can also be used for individual or “stand-alone" (1 switch) mounting configurations when mounting to an adjacent light switch

is not necessary.

INSTALLATION

Note: When following configuration 1: The mounting bracket is not designed to be used in conjunction

with "finished-drywall" or retrofit electrical boxes.

3. Place the flat side of mounting

bracket (included) against the

wall and align the thin side over

the outside edge of the existing

electrical box (opposite the stud

side). Center the bracket to align

the mounting screw height with

existing switch, then trace the

inside shape of the bracket on

wall using a pencil.

1. Locate an existing light switch

and remove wall plate

exposing switch box.

2. Using a stud sensor, locate the

stud nearest to exposed electrical

box. Then mark (for reference)

with removable tape or pencil.

8. Attach a new (2 gang) or double

gang Decora style wall plate over both

switches to complete installation.

The DecoFlex WireFree RTS switch is designed to provide years of maintenance free performance. Should the battery

need to be replaced, the LED indicator lights will no longer function when the Channel Button is selected or when

an Up/Stop/Down command is activated. As a result, the radio signal will be reduced or not communicated to the

RTS receiver or motor. The battery can be easily replaced by exposing the Switch Base Assembly board of the

DecoFlex WireFree switch. Simply slide the battery out of its holder and replace with a new 3V Lithium battery

(type 2450) maintaining the correct polarity.

NOTE: Batteries should be disposed of properly according to local regulations.
