In order to avoid losing this screw, we made it captive. When you unscrew, you will feel that the screw will get fully free. This indicates that it is completely unscrewed!
Once your Keypad is well installed in its back cover, you can slide up the front face by a few millimeters, but you can only reassemble it completely by screwing the screw at the bottom of the front face.
This is probably due to a bad installation in the back cover. Unscrew and take out the front face from the back cover. Then replace again, making sure to follow the instructions carefully. If the front face is in place, it should be at the same height as the flaps of the back cover. Do not forget to screw the screw to complete the installation.
When multiple false code attempts (15 false attempts), the keypad indicates an error feedback during 2min and no longer takes any tries into account.
You must then wait until the end of the 2 minutes to try again. Warning, another false attempt will restart the blockage for 2min. The only way out of this loop is to enter the correct code.
If you can’t remember your code, you can reset your keypad in factory configuration via the reset button for 7s. You will then need to reset your password and pair again your equipment.
When the battery button of your keypad is almost empty, we turn off the sound to save it as long as possible. If by changing the battery button, the problem is not solved, then it may come from a defect in your product.

Procedure:
Before selecting your motorised system, consider the type of garage door you have: 1. Up-and-over garage door. Consists of a single panel that tilts upwards when opening. 2. Sliding garage door. Consists of multiple panels that open to the side. For this model, the motorised system is selected based on the size and weight of the door. For this type of door, Somfy recommends you use the GDK or Dexxo range. 3. Sectional garage door. Consists of multiple articulated panels that open towards the ceiling. 4. Roller garage door. Consisting of a curtain of roll-up slats, it coils into a box installed above the garage opening. For this type of door, we propose you use motorised systems especially designed for roller garage doors. 5. Swing garage door. Consists of two panels that open outwards. Swing-out garage doors most often use motorised systems with arms.
The points to check before selecting a motorised system: 1. Is there a power supply where the spot you wish to install the motor? 2. Does the door work properly? Is it in good mechanical condition and correctly balanced? 3. Is the structure of the garage (walls, lintel, partitions, etc.) in good enough shape to install a motorised system? 4. Does the garage open and close properly? 5. How much space is available to install the motor?
Somfy offers a wide range of safety accessories so you can respect regulations in force (for example, an orange warning light). If your door operates in automatic mode, you should also add photoelectric cells which will halt the movement of the door as soon as presence is detected in the range of their infrared rays.
Certainly. All garage doors, new or old, can be upgraded for home automation with a Somfy power unit.
