Crestron C2N-SDC Shade & Drape Motor Controller
Shade & Drape Motor Controller:
C2N-SDC
Introduction
Features & Functions
The CrestronC2N-SDC is a shade and drape motor control Cresnet®
slave module designed to control two bi-directional 1/3 HP motors that
drive shades and drapes. The C2N-SDC is specifically designed for the
Cresnet control network and functions as part of a complete Crestron
control/automation system. Low voltage input power for the control
electronics is derived from the Cresnet +24 VDC supply. Two 4-pin
terminal block connectors are provided so that units can be daisy-
chained.
Functional Summary
• Controls two shade or drape motors individually or
simultaneously
• Each motor may be up to a maximum of 7.5 A
(1/3 horsepower)
• The C2N-SDC fits inside a standard 2-gang or
4” square electrical box
• Manual pushbutton control is provided on the faceplate
The C2N-SDC is designed to fit inside and mount to a 2-gang wall box or
4”x 4” x 1.5” electrical box, where input power for the two shades or
drapes is derived from mains wiring. Pigtail wires attached to the rear of
the unit provide wire connections for 120 VAC and ground.

Two 4-pin terminal blocks for motor connections accommodate up to
14 AWG wire. Each shade or drape has connections for up drive, down
drive, common (neutral), and chassis ground (if available). Hardware
prevents both the open and close motors from operating simultaneously.
Also, firmware logic provides a minimum time delay so that both the
open and close motors are off for a short period of time when the
directions are reversed. Additional control is available via Cresnet.
Four pushbuttons on the face of the unit allow the motors to be activated
without Cresnet control, which is particularly useful when operating the
unit locally during installation.
