The CLW-SW1 (-SW1) is a stand-alone wall box switch
that can also act as a Cresnet
Crestron® control processor. The -SW1 includes two
isolated, non-polarized Cresnet wires (plus a ground wire)
for connecting to a Cresnet system over a twisted pair
wire with shield.
The CLW-SW1 features a three-position mode selection
switch. Refer to “Operation ” on page 5 for more
information. In the absence of Cresnet communications,
the switch can still be used to control a load.
The CLW-SWS1 (-SWS1) is similar to the -SW1 with the
added capability of working with a slave unit
(CLW-SLVS1) in a multi-switch / single circuit
application.
The CLW-SLVS1 (-SLVS1) is a slave unit that when
used in conjunction with the -SWS1 acts as an additional
switch control point in a multi-switch / single circuit
application. It does not connect to a Cresnet system and
cannot be used without a -SWS1. The -SLVS1 does not
have a mode selection switch and is not programmable. It
emulates the operation of the -SWS1 to which it is
connected unless the mode selection switch of the master
is set to “OFF”.
These switches are available in white, almond, and black.
White units are designated by part numbers ending in
“W”. Almond units are designated by part numbers
ending in “A”. Black units are designated by part numbers
ending in “B”. Each switch can be covered with a
decorative faceplate (not supplied).

Prewire for Master Application
Each device has two Class 2 low voltage wires (plus a
ground wire) that provide a Cresnet connection over
shielded twisted-pair to a Crestron control system. These
wires are routed to the bottom of the device for
connection outside of the wallbox. The low voltage wires
are pulled from each device location to the Crestron
control system or a Crestron connection block device. Use
#22 AWG, twisted, shielded, 2-conductor wire. Wiring
can be daisy chained, T-tapped, or home run back to the
control system. Refer to the following wiring diagram.
NOTE: The GRAY (Cresnet) wires are not polarized.
These wires can be connected to either the Y or Z line on
a Cresnet port.
NOTE: The BLACK wire (Cresnet ground) should not
be grounded with the GREEN (Ground) wire on the
-SW1/-SWS1.
NOTE: Crestron recommends using Cresnet-DM cable
for connecting the -SW1 and -SWS1 to the Cresnet
network.
Installation
WARNING: Turn off power at the circuit breaker.
Installing with power on can result in serious personal
injury and damage to the device.
NOTE: The -SW1, -SWS1 require a neutral wire for
operation. If no neutral is present, contact a licensed

Operation
The -SW1, -SWS1, and -SLVS1 have one large
pushbutton. The -SW1 and -SWS1 also have a threeposition mode selection switch. The function of the
pushbutton is determined by the position of the mode
selection switch. Refer to the following diagram.
NOTE: The -SLVS1 does not have a mode selection
switch. It emulates the operation of the -SWS1 to which it
is connected unless the mode selection switch of the
master is set to “OFF”.
NOTE: Alternate wiring methods may be used
for the Class 2 wiring connection. Refer to
section 725-55, Part D of the 2002 National
Electric Code.
When the mode selection switch is in the “OFF” position,
the pushbutton will not have any function and the load is
disconnected from the power source. This must be used
when changing light bulbs to ensure that the load is fully
disconnected from power.
ADJ
When the switch is in the ADJ position, pressing and
holding the pushbutton will set a delay time for
deactivating the load when the switch is in the PRE
position. To set the delay time, press and hold the
