Shades


Shade and drape controllers are available to provide a convenient and cost-effective solution for harvesting natural light and controlling
the effects of the sun within an environment. By integrating shade and drape control into a Crestron system, natural light can be used to
help lower energy costs. In the colder months, shades can raise automatically to use sunlight as a supplemental heating source. During
the warmer months, shades can be programmed to block sunlight thereby reducing the call for cool air. In many cases motorized
shades offer simple convenience, such as reducing screen glare during multimedia presentations.

How We Control

Controllers are available as 24V DC, 120V AC, and 240V AC for controlling different motor types. There is also a Somfy

®

shade controller

that provides bidirectional serial control for up to two Somfy ILT Intelligent Shade Motors. The Somfy shade controller allows specific
positioning of the shades and polling of the current shade position for ultimate control.

How We Integrate

Shade and drape controllers integrate through Cresnet. Each motor output is independently controllable. The controllers are small
enough to hide in the wall, ceiling, or 2-gang electrical box. A DIN Rail controller is also available.

2-Gang Installation


C2N--SDC

The C2N-SDC is a 2-channel shade and drape controller designed to provide a
convenient and cost-effective solution for controlling a variety of motorized
window treatments as well as motorized doors, sunroofs, lifts and projection
screens.

The C2N-SDC is a Cresnet device with two independently controlled 120V AC
outputs. Each output provides up/down or open/close control of a conventional 3-
wire bidirectional type motor. Built-in timing and interlock logic make it easy to
program the C2N-SDC for fail-safe operation.

The C2N-SDC mounts in the wall or ceiling using an off-the-shelf 4" square or 2-
gang electrical box. Pushbuttons on the front of the unit allow for manual
operation of the motors during installation and setup.
