Crestron STRFGWX Two-Way RF Transceiver
Two-Way RF Transceiver:
STRFGWX
Description
Functional Description
The STRFGWX is a two-way radio frequency (RF) gateway/transceiver that
communicates with the Crestron

wireless STX-1550C 2-Way RF Compact Color
and STX-1550CW Wall Mount 2-Way RF Compact Color Touchpanels. The
STRFGWX receives RF signals from one or more touchpanels (sold separately) and
translates the signals into commands for transmission over the Crestron remote
control system (herein referred to as the Cresnet

system). Feedback signals from the
Cresnet system are transmitted from the STRFGWX to the touchpanel(s) for real-
time confirmation of commands. Up to 15 touchpanels can communicate with one
STRFGWX and, if more touchpanels are needed, more STRFGWXs may be added
to the control system.
The RF signals can travel from a minimum of three feet up to a maximum of 50 - 75
feet. Additional range can be obtained by using multiple STRFGWX units
distributed throughout any particular area or installation. The location of the
STRFGWX and the orientation of the antenna are important factors in the RF
performance. With the unit located outside of any metal enclosures and the antenna
positioned horizontally, pointing straight out of the unit, adjust the antenna to
achieve the best range. The range of the unit is also dependent on its placement and
the construction of the building in which it is used.
Included with the STRFGWX is a 4-pin connector plug to connect to other Cresnet
system devices. Also included is an external power pack (PW-1205 for domestic use
or PWI-1210 for international use).
Physical Description
The STRFGWX, shown on the next page, is housed in a black enclosure with silk-
screened labels on the front and rear panels. On the front of the unit are five light-
emitting diodes (LEDs) for indicating the unit’s status and the RF antenna (not
shown for clarity). All other connections are made on the back of the unit. There are
four rubber feet on the base of the unit for stability and to prevent slippage.
