CLW-SW, SWS, & SLVS(W/A/B)
Introduction
Features and Functions
The CLW-SW (-SW) is a stand-alone wall box switch
that can also act as a Cresnet
Crestron® control processor. The -SW 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-SW features a three-position mode selection
switch. Refer to “Operating Buttons and Switches ” on
page 5 for more information. In the absence of Cresnet
communications, the switch can still be used to control a
load.
The CLW-SWS (-SWS) is similar to the -SW with the
added capability of working with a slave unit
(CLW-SLVS) in a multi-switch / single circuit
application.
The CLW-SLVS (-SLVS) is a slave unit that when used
in conjunction with the -SWS 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 -SWS. The -SLVS does not have a mode
selection switch and is not programmable. It emulates the
operation of the -SWS to which it is connected.
The -SW, -SWS, and -SLVS 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”. These switches can be
covered with a decorative faceplate (not supplied).

CLW-SW, SWS, & SLVS(W/A/B)
Physical Description
The -SW and -SWS switch contains two buttons (one
large, one small), a light emitting diode (LED), and a
three-position slider-switch as shown after this paragraph.
Line voltage connections are made at the rear of the
switch. Three Class 2 low voltage wires, located on the
front of the switch, provide a Cresnet connection to a
control system. The wires can be routed to the bottom of
the unit for placement outside of the wall box. The -SLVS
is similar to the -SW and -SWS but does not have the
slider-switch or the Class 2 low voltage wires.

requirements by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
Important Notes
Read before installation.
• Codes: Install in accordance with all local and
national electrical codes.
Alternate wiring methods may be used for the
Class 2 wiring connection. The 2002 National
Electrical Code (Article 725-55) prohibits Class
2 conductors of the -SW, -SWS, and -SLVS to
occupy the same outlet box as the power
conductors. The exception is Part D of Section
725.55 of the 2002 National Electrical Code,
which allows a device’s power conductors to be
installed near (0.25 inch minimum spacing)
associated Class 2 conductors in the same outlet
box. Consult the 2002 National Electrical Code
Handbook and your local electrical inspector
before proceeding.
Do not use the supplied butt-splice connectors if
2 • Stand Alone Wall Box Switch : CLW-SW, SWS, & SLVS Installation Guide – DOC. 6134B
CLW-SW, SWS, & SLVS(W/A/B)
the Class 2 conductors are to be installed in the
wallbox with the power conductors. Use
approved connectors (supplied by others) to
make Class 2 connections inside the wallbox.
• CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE
TO OTHER EQUIPMENT, DO NOT INSTALL
TO CONTROL A RECEPTACLE.
• Wiring: Use copper wire only. For supply
connection, use wires rated for at least 75°C.
• Load Type: The -SW, -SWS, and -SLVS are
designed for use with permanently installed
incandescent, fluorescent (non-dimmable), low
voltage, neon/cold cathode, HID, general
purpose fan, or tungsten halogen lighting.
• Temperature: The -SW, -SWS, and -SLVS are
designed to be used where temperatures are
between 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C).
• Wallboxes: Devices mount in standard
wallboxes. For easy installation, Crestron
recommends using 3 ½” deep wallboxes. Several
devices can be installed in one wall box
(multigang). This requires the removal of side
sections (refer to diagram on page 3) and the
derating of the switching device. For a smooth
appearance, one-piece multigang faceplates (not
supplied) can be installed.
• Other Switch Devices: Mechanical 3- or 4-way
switches will not work with the -SW, -SWS, or
-SLVS.
• Spacing: If mounting one device above another,
leave at least 4 ½” vertical space between them.
Multigang Installations
In multigang installations, several controls are grouped
horizontally in one wallbox. For a smooth appearance,
one-piece multigang faceplates (not supplied) can be
installed.
1. When combining controls in a wallbox, remove
inner side sections prior to wiring (refer to the
following figure).

file or sandpaper to remove any excess metal.
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 control
system, a Crestron power supply, a Crestron C2N-NPA8
Poll Accelerator, 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.
Wiring Diagram of CLW device to Cresnet
NOTE: New installations should be checked for short
circuits prior to installing the -SW, -SWS, or -SLVS.
With power off, close the circuit and restore power. If the
load does not work or a breaker trips, check and correct
the wiring or fixture (if necessary). Install the -SW,
-SWS, or -SLVS only when the short is no longer present.
The warranty is void if the -SW, -SWS, or -SLVS is
installed and operated with a shorted load.
1. Turn power off at the circuit breaker.
2. If installing multiple switches (-SW or -SWS),
note the serial number on each device and make
sure they are being installed in the proper
location.
3. Pull Class 2 low voltage wires through a hole in
the drywall located outside of the electrical box,
to the Crestron control system, a Crestron power
supply, a Crestron C2N-NPA8, or a Crestron
connection block device. Leave wires outside of
the wallbox for connection to the -SW or -SWS.
NOTE: Alternate wiring methods may be used for the
Class 2 wiring connections. Refer to section 725-55, Part
D of the 2002 National Electric Code.
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
-SW/-SWS/-SLVS.
NOTE: Crestron recommends using Crestron’s Cresnet-
DM cable for connecting the -DIM and -DIMS to the
Cresnet network.
Installation
NOTE: The -SWS must be installed in the same wallbox
that contains the connections to the load.
NOTE: The -SW, -SWS require a neutral wire for
operation. If no neutral is present, contact a licensed
electrician for installation.

Operating Buttons and Switches
The -SW, -SWS, and -SLVS feature two pushbuttons (one
large, and one small). The -SW and -SWS also have a
three-position mode selection switch. The function of
each button is determined by the position of the mode
selection switch. Refer to the diagram below for the
location of the buttons and the switch.

Large Button
Small Button
Mode Selection Switch
(-SW & -SWS Only)
NOTE: The -SLVS does not have a mode selection
switch. It will act in the same mode as the -SWS.
OFF
When the mode selection switch is in the “OFF” position,
the buttons 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, the load can be
manually activated and deactivated by pressing the large
button. Pressing and holding the small button 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 small button for the desired amount of time delay and
release the button. When the small button is released, the
LED will flash three times to confirm the time delay
setting. When done, return the switch to the PRE position.
NOTE: If a time delay is not set, the factory default is 10
seconds.
