The Crestron 75 Watt Power Supply Terminal Block and
Module (CLT-PWS75 and CLX-PWS75, respectively)
are considered a single entity and must be used together.
They ship separately to permit termination of the field
wiring to the CLT-PWS75 prior to installation of the
CLX-PWS75, as described in this guide. The
CLX-PWS75 is a power supply module that provides up
to 75 Watts of Cresnet power to Crestron equipment. The
terminal block and module can be mounted in any
Crestron Automation Enclosure (CAEN-Series
Enclosures, see warning below). The terminal block is
designed to terminate the circuit feed (HOT and
NEUTRAL) and distribute the power to a connector on a
supplied cable assembly (LOAD) that connects to the
power supply module. The power supply module operates
with an input of 100 to 250 VAC, 2.3A (maximum). The
power supply module has a fuse that protects the 24 VDC
output. If the network power lines are shorted, the fuse is
blown. As a result, the NET POWER LED extinguishes.
Industry Compliance
This unit has been manufactured to comply with UL’s
Standards for Safety in Canada and the United States.
Formal approval is pending.
Installation
The terminal block and module must be mounted into a
Crestron Automation Enclosure by a licensed electrician,
in accordance with all national and local codes.
CAUTION: This equipment is for indoor use only and
needs to be air-cooled. Mount in a well-ventilated area.
The ambient temperature must be 32°F to 104°F (0°C to
40°C). The relative humidity must be 0% to 90% (noncondensing).
CAUTION: Terminal blocks and modules must be
installed in the lowest slot of an enclosure. The only
devices in an enclosure that may be placed beneath the
block and module is the Crestron PAC2 Automation
Control System or CAEN-BLOCK Termination Block.

NOTE: If the fuse is to be replaced, replace only
with the same fuse type and rating. A time lag is
required.
Network Device Wiring
CAUTION: In order to ensure optimum performance
over the full range of your installation topology, Crestron
Certified Wire, and only Crestron Certified Wire, should
be used. Failure to do so, may incur additional charges if
support is required to identify performance deficiencies as
a result of using improper wire.
CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for
Crestron equipment. Failure to do so could cause
equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty.
CAUTION: Provide sufficient power to the system.
Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or
damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power
Calculator (www.crestron.com/calculators) to help
calculate how much power is needed for the system.
CAUTION: Possible equipment damage if miswired.
NOTE: When installing network wiring, refer to the
latest revision of the wiring diagram(s) appropriate to
your specific system configuration, available from the
Crestron website.
NOTE: Do not power up system until all wiring is
verified. Care should be taken to ensure data (Y, Z) and
ground (G) connections are not crossed when connecting
Cresnet devices.
When calculating the wire gauge for a particular Cresnet
run, the length of the run and the Cresnet power usage of
each Cresnet unit to be connected must be taken into
consideration. If Cresnet units are to be daisy-chained on
the run, the Cresnet power usage of each network device
to be daisy-chained must be added together to determine
the Cresnet power usage of the entire chain. If the unit is a
home-run from a Crestron system power supply network
port, the Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet
power usage of the entire run. The length of the run in
feet and the Cresnet power usage of the run should be
used in the following resistance equation to calculate the
value on the right side of the equation.
Resistance Equation
The required wire gauge should be chosen such that the
resistance value is less than the value calculated in the
resistance equation. Refer to the table after this paragraph.
Wire Gauge Values
RESISTANCE

4 16 1.50
6 18 0.75
10 20 0.50
15 22 0.34
13 Doubled CAT5
8.7 Tripled CAT5
WIRE GAUGE
(AWG) (MM2)
NOTE: All network wiring must consist of two twisted
pairs. One twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the
GND conductor. The other twisted pair is the Y and Z
conductors.
NOTE: When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the
ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the
conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share
a pin on the network connector, and tin the twisted
connection. Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted
wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end
becomes brittle. Insert the tinned connection into the
Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw. Repeat
the procedure for the other three conductors.
NOTE: For larger networks (i.e., greater than 28 network
devices), it may become necessary to add a Cresnet
Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality
throughout the network. Also, for networks with lengthy
cable runs, it may be necessary to add a Hub/Repeater
after only 20 devices.
The venting holes on the sides and top of the module
should not be obstructed under any circumstances. If the
module is hot to the touch, consider using forced air
ventilation or implementing additional supplies to
distribute the load.
Hookup Preparation
Prior to making hardware connections, it is assumed that
all wiring is run. This includes the connection of network
connectors. However, the network connectors should not
yet be plugged into the network devices. Use an
ohmmeter to verify that none of the four network
conductors are shorted or crossed. Furthermore, each
network device must have a unique Net ID. If necessary,
refer to the product documentation for the appropriate Net
ID assignment procedure of each device.
Hookup Methods
The hookup diagram on the next page illustrates the home
run and daisy chain methods of connecting the module. It
also illustrates multiple modules within a single Cresnet
system (each module must be installed in its own CAEN
enclosure). Only use the methods shown; do not connect
multiple power supplies together in parallel. If only one
power supply is necessary, use either method connected
to a control system.
NOTE: Always disconnect AC power to the module
supplying power to a Cresnet system before connecting a
network device to that system or installing a card in the
control system.
NOTE: Never connect multiple modules in parallel.
Hookup Procedure
1. Connect each network device to the appropriate
network connector on the module.
2. Connect AC power to the module.
3. If a PC (running SIMPL Windows) is available,
connect the PC to the Cresnet system via the
computer port on the control system.
4. Establish communications with the control system as
described in the latest version of the Crestron
2-Series Control Systems Reference Guide (Doc.
6256) which is available from the Crestron website
(www.crestron.com/manuals).
5. From SIMPL Windows, select Tools | Viewport to
open the Viewport.
6. Select Diagnostics | Report Network Devices
(alternatively F4) to verify that all network devices
are properly connected to the Cresnet system.
