1. INTRODUCTION

The Lighting receiver Variation io is a receiver equipped with io Radio Technology. It can be used to

control all types of light via a power supply (AC/DC) with 1-10V control (halogen lights, LEDs) from a

Somfy io local control point.

The Lighting receiver Variation io lets you vary the intensity of your lighting and save a favourite light

intensity called your favourite position: this favourite position can, for example, be set to a night-light

type lighting. The factory default setting for the favourite light intensity is 50% of maximum intensity.

With IP 55 protection rating, the Lighting Receiver Variation io is suitable for external use and so ideal

for controlling terrace lighting.

9. TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Questions on the Lighting receiver Variation io?

Observations Possible cause Solution

The light does not react at

all when a button on the

control point is pressed
