Crestron C2N-SSC-2 Controls The Shade Controller has six pushbuttons that are used to set the upper and lower limits of travel for each shade. These limits are set at time of installation and the values are stored in the ILT motor.
Setup Network Wiring CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Failure to do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty. CAUTION: Provide sufficient power to the system. Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the system.
Cresnet power usage of each unit to be daisy-chained must be added together to determine the Cresnet power usage of the entire chain. If the unit is a home-run from a Crestron system power supply network port, the Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire run.
