Additional Motor Properties Information

Once the shade motor is working correctly, set any additional properties as required. Refer to the information below when conﬁguring.

SSC-W485 and SSC-0022485 Controllers

Motor Direction

For SSC-002485 and SSC-W485 controllers,

modify the Motor Direction ﬁeld from

Standard to Reverse if shade is traveling in

the wrong direction.

Up/Down Speed Controls the speed of the shade motor.

Slow Speed Controls how fast the shade motor slows

down.

App Software Info Lists the version of ﬁrmware installed in the shade motor. The Savant Support Team may require this information when

troubleshooting a problem. The last six characters identify the version of ﬁrmware.

Using the App Software Info number from image above (91424D450009):

– The 45 is treated as a hex value so ﬁrst convert the hex value 0x45 into ASCII = E.

– Last four digits are treated as decimal so 00 09 is treated as 09.

– Therefore, the ﬁrmware version is E09 for this example.
