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.
Shade & Drape Motor Controller Crestron C2N-SDC 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.
