Introduction Features and Functions The C2N-SPWS300 is a 300-watt system power supply designed for large Cresnet control systems (herein referred to as Cresnet system). It operates with an input of 100 to 240 VAC, 4A (maximum) and a noise rating less than 150mV.

PWR ON position. PWR ON Position In the PWR ON position, the C2N-SPWS300 acts as a stand-alone system. All of the green LEDs illuminate successively as power is applied to each channel (1 through 8) until all eight channels are powered up.
Weight 5.3 lb (2.4 kg) The C2N-SPWS300 ships with two cable assemblies; one for domestic use and the other for international use or installation within the Crestron CAEN. The latest versions can be obtained from the Downloads | Software Updates section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com).
Ports With the exception of the IEC320 connector on a pigtail cord (for application of AC power), all connections to the C2N-SPWS300 are made via the ports on the front panel. The single four-pin network connector in the upper right corner on the front panel is used to accept 24 VDC when the power switch is set to the PWR OFF SLAVE position.

3.29 in (8.36 cm) Each power supply channel (1 through 8) has a green LED (PWR), which illuminates when 24V is present at that output. A red LED (OVLD) for each channel illuminates when there has been a short circuit or the load exceeds the nominal 75 watts for any channel.
Refer to “Method B (Touch Settable IDs)” on page 9 for detailed information. Industry Compliance As of the date of manufacture, the C2N-SPWS300 has been tested and found to comply with specifications for CE marking and standards per EMC and Radiocommunications Compliance Labelling (N11785) NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.

(Crestron Rack Mounting Kit – sold separately). Hardware Hookup By design, the C2N-SPWS300 is rated to withstand elevated operating temperatures (internal temperatures can reach 122°F (50°C)). Therefore, the unit should be used in a well-ventilated area. The venting holes should not be obstructed under any circumstances.
C2N-SPWS300 (PWR ON Position), Hardware Hookup NOTE: Never connect multiple C2N-SPWS300s in parallel. NOTE: Always disconnect AC power to the C2N-SPWS300 supplying power to a Cresnet system before connecting a network unit to that system or installing a card in the control system.
