Crestron C2N-SSC-2 Somfy Shade Controller
Somfy® Shade Controller:
C2N-SSC-2
Introduction
Features and Functions
• 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
The C2N-SSC-2 Somfy
designed to provide a bidirectional serial interface for up to two Somfy
ILT Intelligent Shade Motors. Window treatments equipped with the
Somfy ILT motor offer enhanced capability compared to typical threewire models.
In addition to basic open/close commands, the C2N-SSC-2 allows for
setting each shade to a specific position and polling for its current
position with 16-bit precision. Feedback signals provide confirmation of
each motor's activity to enable precise, predictable control, even from a
remote location. Limit adjustments are set electronically using buttons
provided on the face of the unit, and up to 20 presets for each output can
be saved onboard the C2N-SSC-2 for easy recall through the control
system. The C2N-SSC-2 mounts discreetly to any flat surface and
requires a simple Cresnet connection to the control system.

Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the network, consider the following:
• Use Crestron Certified Wire.
• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
• Provide sufficient power to the system.
CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results
or damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power
Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the
system (http://www.crestron.com/calculators
).
• For larger networks, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to
maintain signal quality.
For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” on page 21.
Identity Code
The Net ID of the C2N-SSC-2 has been factory set to 0C. The Net IDs of
multiple C2N-SSC-2 devices in the same system must be unique. Net IDs
are changed from a personal computer (PC) via the Crestron Toolbox™
(refer to “Establishing Communication” on page 16).
When setting the Net ID, consider the following:
• The Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the
SIMPL Windows program.
• Each network device must have a unique Net ID.
For more details, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file.
Installation
Installation consists of mounting the Shade Controller (using either the
Dual Lock fastener or screws, as desired) in a location that is out of
casual reach, but within 50 feet of the shade(s) it controls; connecting a
Cresnet cable to the NET port; connecting the interface cable(s) from the
shade(s) to the RJ-11 port(s), and setting the upper and lower limits of
