2. Guia de configuració

2.1 Desembalatge i inspecció

Carefully unpack the Somfy 1816091 IO Wind Sensor. Verify that all components are present and undamaged. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your supplier immediately.

2.2 Muntatge del sensor

  1. Trieu una ubicació adequada: The sensor should be mounted in an area where it can accurately detect wind without obstruction from buildings, trees, or other structures. Ensure it is exposed to prevailing winds.
  2. Muntatge segur: Use appropriate fasteners to securely mount the sensor to a stable surface, such as a wall or mast. Ensure it is level for accurate readings.
  3. Encaminament del cable: Route the 5-meter cable safely, avoiding sharp edges or areas where it could be pinched or damaged. Use cable clips if necessary.

2.3 Connexió elèctrica

The Somfy 1816091 IO Wind Sensor operates on 230V. It is recommended that electrical connections be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.

  • Connect the sensor's power cable to a suitable 230V power supply.
  • Assegureu-vos que totes les connexions estiguin segures i aïllades correctament.

2.4 Pairing with IO Receivers

Refer to the specific instructions for your Somfy IO receiver or motor for the pairing process. Generally, this involves:

  1. Placing the IO receiver/motor into programming mode.
  2. Activating the sensor's pairing function (consult the sensor's specific pairing button or sequence).
  3. Confirming successful pairing, usually indicated by a movement of the connected awning/blind or an LED indicator.

3. Instruccions de funcionament

Once installed and paired, the Somfy 1816091 IO Wind Sensor operates automatically to protect your installations.

3.1 Automatic Wind Control

  • The sensor continuously monitors wind speed.
  • If the detected wind speed exceeds the predefined threshold (adjustable up to 88 km/h), the sensor sends a command to the paired IO receivers.
  • Connected awnings, screens, or blinds will automatically retract or raise to their protective position.
  • This automatic action overrides any manual commands or scheduled operations to ensure protection.

3.2 Automatic Rain Control (Optional)

If the rain option is enabled and rain is detected, the sensor will also trigger protective actions for compatible installations.

3.3 Reactivation Times

After a protective action due to wind or rain, the sensor will maintain the protective state until conditions normalize. Other manual or automatic drive controls will be reactivated after a specific delay:

  • Aproximadament 30 segons for certain events.
  • Aproximadament 12 minuts for other events, ensuring sufficient time for conditions to stabilize before resuming normal operation.

4. Manteniment

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Somfy 1816091 IO Wind Sensor.

  • Neteja: Periodically clean the sensor's exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris that might obstruct its operation. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Inspecció del cable: Annually inspect the power cable for any signs of wear, damage, or fraying. Ensure connections remain secure.
  • Comprovació d'obstruccions: Ensure that no new obstructions (e.g., growing plants, new structures) are blocking the sensor's ability to detect wind accurately.
  • Prova de funcionalitat: Periodically test the sensor's functionality by simulating high wind conditions (if safe to do so) or by observing its automatic actions during windy weather.
