Highly recommended. I sent in a defective Selve brand motor and received it back repaired super quickly. I am completely satisfied and can only agree with the top reviews. I would send any future defective motors here again. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic and fast – we had our repaired motor back just one week after sending it in and now have a working awning again. They also quickly helped us with our inquiry regarding a programming issue. Highly recommended!

Absolut super und schnell - eine Woche nach Versand hatten wir unseren reparierten Motor schon zurück und haben jetzt wieder eine funktionierende Markise. Auch auf unsere Anfrage hinsichtlich eines Problems, das wir beim Programmieren hatten, wurde uns schnell geholfen. Klare Empfehlung!

Converting Somfy Altus RTS 6/17 to cable operation: Basic version with LT50 head

Do you want to control your perfectly functioning Somfy Altus RTS 6/17 via a switch or smart home relay (such as Shelly) and only need the basic function: UP and DOWN with fixed end positions at the top and bottom? Then the basic conversion is the most economical solution. We replace the radio-controlled motor head with a mechanical LT50 head and replace the motor capacitor at the same time.

You will receive this

Fixed price €49, plus shipping.
New motor capacitor included
New four-core connection cable included, the same length as your existing cable (value €9).
24-month warranty on all replaced parts
Conversion on the day of arrival
Invoice after successful conversion, return shipment after receipt of payment.

Note regarding the end positions
With the mechanical LT50 head, you set the upper and lower end positions directly on the motor head. Electronic functions such as obstacle detection, frost protection, or automatic end positions are not included in this basic version.

Do you want to keep the electronic safety and comfort features? Then choose the comfort upgrade with WT head for €79. You can find a comparison of both options on our Smarthome-Reha page.

Sequence

You order the conversion via the shopping cart and receive shipping instructions by email. You send us your intact motor along with the connection cable via Hermes; the conversion takes place on the day of receipt, and after payment is received, the motor is returned to you insured.

Notice
We only retrofit unopened, fully functional Somfy motors without any prior repair attempts. Is your motor defective? Then find the right repair using our repair selection tool.

This service applies to the Somfy Altus RTS 6/17 tubular motor model 5005427.

Directly on the LT50 motor head. Instructions are included with the return.

Suitable for Which Application

The Somfy Altus 50 RTS is not just a roller shutter drive: this series also powers roller shutters and open-arm awnings. The 6/17 with 6 Nm of torque is the entry-level option for small to medium-sized roller shutters.

Use on roller shutters

The following table serves as a guide to load-bearing capacity:

material	SW 50	SW 60	SW 70
Plastic (PVC)	up to approximately 3.6 m²	up to approximately 3.2 m²	up to approximately 2.7 m²
Aluminium (roll-formed, foam-filled)	up to approx. 2.9 m²	up to approximately 2.5 m²	up to approximately 2.2 m²
Wood / extruded aluminum	up to approximately 1.5 m²	up to approximately 1.3 m²	up to approximately 1.1 m²

These values are guidelines for roller shutter heights up to 2.5 meters and include a 10 percent safety margin for friction. Actual material weights vary depending on the profile and manufacturer. If your requirements are close to the limit, we recommend the next larger motor size (10/17) or contacting us for further information.

Use on the open folding arm awning

The 6 Nm torque setting is practically unheard of in open-arm awnings, as this force is insufficient against the spring tension of the arms. Settings of around 20 Nm and above are more common. A typical symptom of this type of awning is that it extends but doesn't retract. The awning manufacturer's specifications remain the definitive guide for sizing. In the case of a repair, this is irrelevant: your existing motor is compatible, and we will repair it.

Technical Data

Torque: 6 Nm
Speed: 12 revolutions per minute
Smallest shaft: SW 50
Total length including bearing: 613 mm
Weight: 1.94 kg
Power: 90 W
Brake type: Sliding brake
Control: Radio (RTS)
End position setting: via remote control
Manufacturer: Somfy
