ILT Shade Controller:
C2N-SSC-2
Introduction
Features and Functions
The Crestron®ILT Shade Controller, C2N-SSC-2, communicates with up
to two Somfy ILT Intelligent Shade Motors via a serial interface. In a
Crestron control system network (Cresnet®), the C2N-SSC-2 (herein
called Shade Controller) sets the position and the direction of motion of
each shade individually, with programmable settings for the upper and
lower limits of travel for each shade. Commands to move to a specific
location will position the shades relative to the full range of travel
between these upper and lower limits. Subsequent commands to move a
shade in the open or close direction activate shade movement until a limit
of travel is reached, until the command is de-activated, or until a stop
command is sent.
The Shade Controller can store and recall up to 20 shade presets.
Functional Summary
• Control up to two shades per Shade Controller
• Control position and direction of each shade individually
• Store and recall up to 20 presets per shade
• Connect via one 4-pin RJ-11 interface connector per shade
• Control shades in multi-unit installations individually, in
groups, all together, or any desired combination.

The upper and lower limits of travel for each shade are set up at the time
of installation via the six pushbuttons on the face of the Shade Controller,
or via a touchpanel, and are stored internally to each ILT motor. Shade
presets, stored as values relative to the limits of travel, can be stored and
recalled locally in the Shade Controller.

Physical Description
Refer to the figures below and on the following page. The unit is housed
in a black metal enclosure with labeling and controls on the front surface.
The bottom edges of the cover/faceplate extend to form two flanges with
screw slots for convenient mounting on any flat surface. Interface
connectors are mounted on opposite ends of the unit. The two 4-pin
RJ-11 connectors on the “top” end, labeled 1 and 2, provide connection
to two shade motor controller circuits. A 4-pin male Cresnet network port
on the “bottom” end, labeled 24 Y Z G, provides operating power and
communications to/from the unit.
NOTE: Power for the shade motor is independent of the Cresnet system.

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.
Shade Limit Control Pushbuttons
Pressing any one of the four outer pushbuttons puts the Shade Controller
into the limit-setting mode for the selected shade and upper or lower
limit. (Refer to “Setting Shade Limits and Direction of Travel” on page
13.)
Indicators
The only indicators on the Shade Controller are the three LEDs on the
face of the unit.
• The PWR LED (green) indicates the presence of +24V Cresnet
power.
• The NET LED (yellow) indicates an active Cresnet network
connection.
• The SETUP LED (red) indicates firmware upgrade, limit
setting, shade reversal, or the unit’s network ID setup activity.
− Flashes during firmware downloads
− On solid if in firmware loader mode (still needs application
firmware). Turns off after application firmware is loaded.
− On solid for twenty seconds if a shade 1/2 adjust
upper/lower limit button is pushed, putting the unit into
limit-setting mode.

− On for one second, then off when shade reversal is executed
from buttons on the unit.
SETUP LED and Pushbutton
The SETUP pushbutton and its associated LED are used for setup of the
unit’s network ID during the initial configuration of a Cresnet system or
when the device is being added/replaced. Refer to “Method B (Touch
Settable IDs)” on page 10 for detailed information.
