Somfy Expands Direct Drive Drapery Motor Range with new Glystro® 50

Cranbury, NJ August 2007- Somfy introduces the latest addition to the Glystro motor range – the Glystro 50. Built to utilize the same track as the current Glystro® 25, the Glystro® 50 is more powerful and designed to traverse draperies up to 110 lbs. The new motor will be available in two versions for increased control flexibility in commercial and home technology integration applications. The first will include infrared and built-in dry contact control. The second version adds built-in Radio Technology Somfy® (RTS) to the infrared and dry contact control. And, with encoder based technology, it’s possible to achieve an intermediate or favorite position at the press of a button.

The Glystro® 50 may be fabricated to operate one way (side draw) or two way (split draw), depending on the application and is compatible with pinch pleat, accordia-fold and ripplefold draperies. The new motor also features a manual override function which allows the drapery to be operated manually in the event of a power failure, emergency situation, etc. This unique manual override is also useful where end users may not be aware of the drapery motorization capabilities.
Installation is also simple, with a plug-in 24 VDC transformer and automatic limit setting helps for ease of programming. Plus, the slow start, slow stop feature helps to facilitate smooth operation. And as with all Somfy products the new Glystro® 50 is backed by a 5 year

SOMFY and Silentgliss blinds and drapery automation has a long record of excellence. No matter what your style or requirement is if they have a motorised version we can interface it to an automation system so that blinds, curtains and shutters can be open and closed based on time of day, season and other criteria. This can reduce energy costs by reducing heating and cooling needs. It can also provide protection of other home wares like carpets, floor boards etc. when blinds are closed based on light levels, temperature, humidity and other criteria.

This system is used when the blind is not directly wound onto the roller as in a Roman, Austrian or a pleated blind. You require one CTS kit per cord. As the cord moves from side to side whist being raised or lowered you need to pass the cord through a guide to make sure that the blind is raised and lowered vertically. One CTS kit comprises of one CTS28 Cone ring, diameter 37 mm and one stopper ring. This kit is designed to work with the Roller Blind kits.



Somfy AC Infrared Controller
for controlling one AC motor (if you wish to control multiple AC motors then please email us). When connected to an infrared sensor (IR3) it can then receive infrared signals from IRT 103 or IRT803. You should be able to capture these infrared codes with a third party room controller thus allowing you to control one AC motor. The AC IR can also be controlled by BUS line and can be configured for individual push button. This means that you can operate by IR and have a standby push button.
