The Somfy LT30 RTS RF Motor used is a Radio Frequency based 12VDC motor that is optional powered with Lithium AA batteries or plug in transformer. The LT30 RTS motor is the perfect motor for use where more advanced control is needed of the shades. We provide these shades as a standard in 1.5" tubes but are also available in 1.25" and 2.0" tubes. Battery life can vary from 1-2 years and even longer depending on the size/weight of the shade and usage.
The LT30 RTS Motor is Radio Frequency based so you don't have to point the remote at the shade every time you want to control it. In fact you can control the shades in your living room from your bedroom completely wirelessly. The Somfy LT30 RTS motor stores the limits set by the remote controls and memory is not lost when power is disconnected. With the momentary press of a button you can command the shade to go to the Full up, Full Down and a customer specified preferred position. No need to hold the button down and wait for the shade to reach the desired position. Each motor can be controlled by more than one remote control. The Somfy LT30 RTS is controlled via Somfy's advanced RF technology which offers the user simple individual or group control as well as a host of automation options like Timers, Sun Sensor, RS232 Control etc.
How is this motor different than the Somfy LT30 IR Motor?
Somfy LT30 IR Round Head Motors are limited to 8 possible IR channels for grouping and or individual control. To control the IR motor you must point the remote at each shade motor sensor every time you want to control it. Since IR devices are line of sight devices you will need to have an IR repeater network installed to take full advantage of the grouping capabilities. The IR Remote Controls feature learnable codes so control of the installation can be easily handed over to an IR based automation system.
Somfy RTS Motors are virtually limitless in their grouping and control capabilities because each RTS radio frequency remote control is unique. Multiple unique controls can be used to control the same shade without confusion. This provides for more advanced grouping and individual control scenarios. The RTS motors also have more advanced control options like: Timers, Sun Sensors and Home Automation interfaces that can be controlled via RS232, RS485 and Dry Contact. RTS motors are also Radio Frequency based so you don't have to point a remote directly at the motor to operate it.
When Selecting a Material Keep in Mind (Battery Powered Shades) - Weight and size shade makes a difference in the life of the batteries. We provide the weights of each material below so you can select a material to help maximize your battery life.
Black-Out and Light Blocking Materials
Black-out and Light Blocking LT30 RTS Motorized shades use materials that block 100% of the light through the material.
Note: Light Leakage will occur around the sides and top/bottom of the shades.
We do have pocket and channel systems to address light leakage at the sides and top of the shades.
Sheer, Room Dimming and Translucent Materials
Sheer, Room Dimming and Translucent LT30 RTS Motorized Shades Material are closed weave shades app. 0% open.
These materials are considered translucent because they diffuse the light and usually illuminate when light hits them.
These materials provide the most privacy without completely blocking the light.
Note: Light Leakage will occur around the sides and top/bottom of the shades.
1% Open Weave Materials
1% Open Weave LT30 RTS Motorized Shades are woven materials consisting that generally have a visible pattern.
Shade materials with a higher openness provide more light, more visibility and less privacy.
Note: Light Leakage will occur around the sides and top/bottom of the shades.
3% Open Weave Materials
3% Open Weave LT30 RTS Motorized Shades are woven materials consisting that generally have a visible pattern.
Shade materials with a higher openness provide more light, more visibility and less privacy.
Note: Light Leakage will occur around the sides and top/bottom of the shades.
5% Open Weave Materials
5% Open Weave LT30 RTS Motorized Shades are woven materials consisting that generally have a visible pattern.
Shade materials with a higher openness provide more light, more visibility and less privacy.
Note: Light Leakage will occur around the sides and top/bottom of the shades
10% Open Weave Materials
10% Open Weave LT30 RTS Motorized Shades are woven materials consisting that generally have a visible pattern.
Shade materials with a higher openness provide more light, more visibility and less privacy.
Note: Light Leakage will occur around the sides and top/bottom of the shades
14% Open Weave Materials
14% Open Weave LT30 RTS Motorized Shades are woven materials consisting that generally have a visible pattern.
Shade materials with a higher openness provide more light, more visibility and less privacy.
Note: Light Leakage will occur around the sides and top/bottom of the shades
Variable Open Weave Materials
The openness of these materials vary depending on pattern selected.
Shade materials with a higher openness provide more light, more visibility and less privacy.
Note: Light Leakage will occur around the sides and top/bottom of the shades
