Technical Specifications

SOMFY ELIXO 500 Control Board

The control board is suitable for compatible SOMFY ELIXO 500 230V RTS sliding gate motors.

The ELIXO 500 version is designed for compatible sliding gates up to 500 KG. The replacement board manages the motor, limit controls, safety devices, remote controls and operating functions of the automatic gate system.

SOMFY ELIXO 800 Control Board

The same control-system family is also used with compatible SOMFY ELIXO 800 230V RTS sliding gate motors.

The ELIXO 800 is designed for larger sliding gates up to 800 KG and uses a 230V AC motor system.

SOMFY RTS 433.42 MHz Radio Receiver

The ELIXO control system uses SOMFY RTS radio technology operating at 433.42 MHz.

Compatible SOMFY RTS remote controls can be programmed directly into the gate control system for wireless gate operation.

Remote Control Programming

The control board includes a dedicated PROG button for memorising and deleting compatible SOMFY RTS radio controls.

The PROG indicator also provides visual confirmation during radio reception and transmitter programming.

Automatic Gate Travel Programming

The SOMFY ELIXO control board provides automatic gate travel learning through the dedicated SET button.

After board replacement, the gate travel should be programmed again so that the controller can correctly manage the opening and closing cycle.

Automatic Closing Adjustment

The board includes a TIME adjustment for configuring automatic timed closing.

When automatic closing is enabled, correctly installed and tested photocell safety sensors are recommended to protect the vehicle and pedestrian passage area.

Adjustable Motor Torque

The SOMFY ELIXO control board provides adjustable motor torque settings through the board configuration switches.

Motor force should be adjusted according to the gate weight, mechanical resistance and installation requirements.

Left & Right Motor Installation

The control board allows the motor direction to be configured according to whether the ELIXO operator is installed on the left or right side of the sliding gate.

Correct direction configuration is essential before completing the gate travel learning procedure.

Pedestrian Opening

The SOMFY ELIXO control system provides a dedicated pedestrian opening command.

This allows the sliding gate to open partially when full vehicle access is not required.

Full Gate Opening

A dedicated total-control input is provided for complete automatic gate opening and closing commands.

This input can be used with suitable push buttons, access control systems, intercoms and other compatible dry-contact devices.

Photocell Safety Sensor Input

The ELIXO control board supports compatible photoelectric safety sensors for automatic gate protection.

The board provides dedicated safety-cell inputs and diagnostic indicators to help identify an interrupted beam, wiring problem or photocell fault.

Safety Edge Input

A dedicated safety edge input is provided for compatible gate safety edges.

The controller also provides safety-edge monitoring and configuration functions for professional gate installations.

Orange Flashing Light Output

The SOMFY ELIXO control board provides dedicated terminals for a compatible orange flashing warning light.

A two-second warning before gate movement can also be configured according to the installation requirements.

Auxiliary Output

The controller includes a configurable auxiliary output that can be used for compatible accessories.

Depending on the board configuration, this output can be assigned to functions such as lighting or an electric lock.

24V Accessory Power Supply

The ELIXO control system provides a 24V AC accessory supply for compatible low-voltage gate automation accessories.

Accessory load should remain within the maximum capacity specified by SOMFY.

Control Board Diagnostic LEDs

The board incorporates multiple LED indicators to assist with installation and troubleshooting.

• Power status
• Programming status
• Radio reception
• Safety edge status
• Closing photocell status
• Opening photocell status
• Total control input status
• Pedestrian control input status

When Should the ELIXO Control Board Be Replaced?

Control-board replacement may be required when the electronic controller is damaged or no longer operates correctly.

• Gate motor has power but does not operate
• Control board does not power on
• Remote controls cannot be programmed
• Gate travel programming fails
• Accessory outputs are damaged
• Photocell inputs malfunction
• Board damaged by power fluctuation
• Burnt electronic components
• Water or moisture damage
• Intermittent gate operation caused by PCB failure

Check Compatibility Before Ordering

Before ordering a replacement SOMFY ELIXO control board, check the motor model, motor voltage, original PCB reference and connector layout.

This product is intended for compatible ELIXO 500 230V RTS and ELIXO 800 230V RTS systems. It should not be assumed to fit every ELIXO generation or 24V ELIXO model.

Programming After Control Board Replacement

After installing a replacement board, the automatic gate system should be professionally programmed and tested.

• Confirm motor direction
• Program gate travel
• Set motor torque
• Program SOMFY RTS remote controls
• Configure automatic closing if required
• Test pedestrian opening
• Test photocell sensors
• Test safety edge
• Test flashing warning light
• Check manual release and complete gate operation

Professional SOMFY ELIXO Control Board Replacement

Professional replacement is recommended because the control board operates with 230V mains power and controls the gate motor and safety equipment.

The original cause of failure should be identified before installing a new board. Electrical faults, damaged motor wiring, water ingress or faulty accessories should be corrected first to prevent damage to the replacement PCB.
