3. DEFINITIONS

Retain terms that remain after this Section has been edited for a project.

A.

B. Autosun™: Solar/battery-powered motor-operator with plug-in option for exterior shade devices, and rolling shutters.

Somfy's "Sunea® CMO" advanced technology ensures that limit settings and programmed controls remain in the motor's memory.

C.

D. DCT: Dry Contact Technology; dry contact (mercury-free) input for basic low-voltage switches via data (communication) cable switching.

E. Exterior Roller-Shade Devices: Exterior, IP-rated, solar, thermal and blackout type shades that roll into a coil and unroll flat.

F. IP Rating: International (or Ingress) Protection Rating is defined by IEC 60529 and classifies the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solid objects (including body parts like hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact, and water in electrical enclosures. The first digit classifies protection against solids (0 to 6) and the second digit (0 to 8) against liquids. The higher the number, the more protected.

G. RA: Rapid Adjustment motor head style. Ability to move between set heights quickly.

H. Radio Technology Tubular Motor: Motor equipped with built-in radio receiver and concealed inside roller tube with Three-wire drive unit inside roller, instantly reversible, and lifetime lubricated.

I. Rolling Shutter Motors: Electrically powered tubular motor integrated into a roll tube, around which the curtain is wound.

Radio Technology is Radio Technology Somfy® (RTS). Radio controls are the most commonly used controls for the exterior roller shades, rolling shutters, and venetian blinds market.

J.

K. SDN 2.0 is "Somfy" Digital Network version 2.0 of bus distribution devices.

Somfy Digital Network™ (SDN) is Somfy's intelligent wired shading network. An SDN system is comprised of bus distribution devices that create a network for user interfaces, motorized applications and sensors to be connected. SDN is scalable, and suitable for both small and large projects, and the same components are used whether an SDN system remains standalone, integrated into third-party automation systems, or with Somfy's "animeo® IP" automated total solar management system.

L.

M. Tubular Motor: Motor equipped with disconnect plug concealed in aluminum tube; and connected to drive shaft through a reduction box.

N. Venetian Blinds: External, retractable vertical blinds made from blades/slats that are held in place by side guides or stainless-steel wire guides. They reduce glare and reduce solar heat gain. The blades can be finely adjusted to provide privacy or filtered light as required and can also be fully retracted to allow maximum light to pass through.

O. WireFree™: A battery-powered motor-operator control with plug-in option for awnings, pergolas, exterior roller shades, rolling shutters, and venetian blinds.

P. WT: Wired Technology; control through standard ac (alternating current) or DC (direct current) via power or polarity switching.
