PROGRAMMING – 485

485 shades are programmed using the Screen Innovations SIFI via the web interface. This programming can be done with a Windows or Mac computer either over LAN or wired directly to SIFI. The following instructions are for a Windows computer, but the steps for programming on a Mac are very similar. For a complete guide to program SIFI on a Mac, please visit our website. Before attempting to program any motors with SIFI, verify that the firmware is up to date. To adjust the lower limit of an 485 shade, follow the steps below.
Connect SIFI as shown below.

Launch Windows File Explorer
Click on the “Network” tab
Double click on the SIFI, the default web browser will launch
At the landing page, click the three lines in the top right corner, then click “Settings”
Select the “485” tab on the top left
Press the spyglass to auto discover motors on the 485 network (may have to press it more than once)
Click on the motor you want to program
Name the motor
Right click on the down limit count
Move the shade up or down using the buttons in the popup window
Click set to confirm the limit
Operate the shade up and then back down to verify the position of the limit

TROUBLESHOOTING – 485

Problem	Possible Cause		Action to Take
Shade won’t operate.	Motor is not powered.		Ensure that 24Volt motors have 24v DC supply and that the polarity is correct.
	Incorrect or poor cable termination.		Check the wire pinouts and termination. Look for broken, loose, or damaged wires. Reterminate if necessary.
	SIFI is not powered.		Check that the green LED on SIFI is flashing. If not, make sure power is available via the bus power supply or PoE (with expansion card only).
	SIFI is not on the local network.		Use the service keypad (if available) to validate the 485 network and motors are operating properly before troubleshooting SIFI network problems. Check that the SIFI is communicating on the local network. Ping the device via the windows command prompt, or make sure the device shows up in the network tab of the Windows File Explorer.
