BAT-R Somfy 12V External Battery Radio Motor

• Operational noise unrated
• 1.1 Newton Meter motor
• Sizes up to 96″ wide OR 96″ high
• Minimum width: 18″
• Compatible with 3″ Fascia, 4″ Fascia, 3″ Cassette, 4″ Cassette, or 6″ Valance
• Compatible with all Somfy RTS controls

Insolroll offers 2 external power source options for BAT-R and BAT-X1 battery motors. Each external battery source uses a wand that is concealed when the shade is installed.

The solar charging advantage

Somfy’s Wirefree™ Li-ion Solar Panel makes keeping your battery shade charged practically effortless.

Benefits of solar panel recharging– energy efficient innovation

• Extends battery life, with fewer recharges needed. May even eliminate the need for recharging on applications with good solar exposure
• Ideal for difficult-to-access windows and larger applications
• Great cost trade-off alternative to retrofit wired applications with high front-end electrical work
• Discreet low-profile solar panel is easy to conceal and preserves the design of the window
• Available for ALL Insolroll Battery Motors.

How does charging shade-motor batteries with solar work?

• Energy-saving technology uses sunlight to cost-effectively charge batteries used to power motorized shades and blinds
• Solar panel mounts to the window jamb or directly to the glass of the window
• Internal battery motors– solar cell plugs directly into motor head
• External battery motors– solar cell plugs into the external battery wand

Convenient

• Easy installation doesn’t require an electrician and minimizes installation time and cost
• Automatically charges Li-ion batteries to minimize maintenance
• Compatible with embedded motors and external Li-ion battery wand
• For applications that sometimes don’t get enough sunlight to fully charge the battery or unusual periods of cloudy weather, a plug-in charger can be used to provide supplemental charging

Application locations

• Solar panel reduces the need for manual re-charge by solar trickle charge.
• The sunniest windows may provide a totally GREEN solar power source.
• For less sunny exposures such as North-facing windows, motor may require occasional supplemental charging
• Suitable for most window types, including single pane, double pane, and energy-saving glass

The Solar Panel Kit includes

Works with

• Embedded battery motors
• External battery motors with Li-ion rechargeable wand

Mounting at the window

Insolroll Small Motor Bracket (SMB) System

for battery and low-voltage shade motors

Like all our small motor products, Insolroll battery motors use our new SMB hardware to improve finish level, reduce mechanical noise, and ensure smooth operation with spring idler/bearing system.

Used with the following motors*

• BAT-L2
• BAT-L1
• BAT-X1
• BAT-R
• IQM-DCR

*Note that BAT-L3 uses standard larger brackets

Quiet Heavy Duty Idler further reduces operational noise

• Lightweight nylon material for high mechanical strength
• High durability for longer life and sound reduction
• Impact, wear, and fatigue-resistant
• Provides electrical insulation

Exposed roller brackets and fascia brackets have an idler bearing for smooth operation and matching bracket covers
