2-Series Professional Media Controller with RF Crestron MC2W
NOTE: To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that exceeds
the environmental temperature range listed in the table of specifications.
Consideration must be given if installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly since
the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the
room ambient. Contact with thermal insulating materials should be avoided on all
sides of the unit.
NOTE: The maximum continuous current from equipment under any external load
conditions shall not exceed a current limit that is suitable for the minimum wire
gauge used in interconnecting cables. The ratings on the connecting unit's supply
input should be considered to prevent overloading the wiring.

Power Supply
The unit can be powered through the NET connector, or by the included external
power pack (PW-2410RU) or the optional power pack PW-2420RU. With the PW-
2410RU, the MC2W can provide power to peripheral Cresnet devices (via the NET
connector) up to a total of 14 Watts. The PW-2420RU allows the MC2W to provide
up to 38 Watts to peripheral Cresnet devices (via the NET connector).
If additional power is needed, Crestron recommends the Crestron CNPWS-75 (75
watts) External Power Supply or equivalent.
CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Failure to do
so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty.
CAUTION: When using the included power pack PW-2410RU, the MC2W’s NET
connector cannot be used to provide power to Cresnet devices that exceed the
available power (14 Watts). Connecting these devices may damage the power pack.
To power other devices from the MC2W’s NET connector, use the optional power
pack PW-2420RU which supplies 38 Watts from the NET connector.
NOTE: Use care in wiring installations to avoid applying 24 VDC power to Cresnet
wiring from an external power pack as well as from a system device that contains its
own power supply. Although this condition should not cause any damage, Crestron
does not recommend it.
