CLW-SW1/4RF, -SWS1/4RF,

-SLVS1RF

Introduction

Features and Functions

The CLW-SW1RF (-SW1RF) one-button switch and CLW-SW4RF (-SW4RF)
four-button switch are stand-alone wall box switches that can also act as wireless
infiNET™ devices that report to a Crestron® control processor via a Crestron
infiNET wireless gateway.

infiNET Switches Functional Summary

• Two-way infiNET switches

⇒

2.4 GHz infiNET mesh network technology

⇒

Range up to 150 feet indoors, or 250 ft outdoors (subject to site­specific conditions)

⇒

Range may be increased with the use of additional infiNET devices
or C2N-MNETRPT repeaters

⇒

“Wi-Fi” friendly operating frequency to avoid interference

• One-button and four-button configurations available in white, black,
and almond

• Can be ordered with custom-engraved buttons

• Can operate as a local load control or infiNET keypad.

These switches can be operated with a user-adjustable delay up to 10 minutes and 55
seconds. For more information, refer to “Operation” on page 9 for more information.

These infiNET switches are a part of Crestron’s line of lighting products using
infiNET mesh network technology. infiNET technology is “Wi-Fi” friendly and
provides fault tolerance and increased effective signal strength as network devices
are added.

As an infiNET device, these switches communicate with a Crestron control system
via a C2N-MNETGW infiNET Gateway. Up to 30 infiNET devices (including
C2N-MNETRPT infiNET Repeaters) can communicate with one C2N-MNETGW

infiNET™ Switches Crestron CLW-SW1/4RF, -SWS1/4RF, -SLVS1RF

infiNET Gateway and, if more devices are needed, more C2N-MNETGW gateways
may be added to a Cresnet® network.

Crestron infiNET switches operate on the 2.4 GHz “ISM band” (2400 MHz to

2483.6 MHz) at 10 mW. The output power of these devices allow RF signals to
travel approximately 150 feet indoors and 250 feet outdoors (subject to site-specific
conditions) without the use of repeaters or other infiNET devices. The range is
dependent on construction of the building, obstructions, and RF interference from
other devices. The location of the dimmer is an important factor in determining RF
performance. Adding more infiNET devices or repeaters to the network effectively
increases the range, strength, and reliability of the network.

The -SW1RF and -SW4RF feature a three-position mode selection switch. Refer to
“Operation” on page 9 for more information. In the absence of control system
communications, the switch can still be used to control the attached load.

The CLW-SWS1RF (-SWS1RF) and CLW-SWS4RF (-SWS4RF) are similar to the

-SW1RF and -SW4RF (respectively) with the added capability of working with one
or more slave units (CLW-SLVS1RF) in a multi-switch / single circuit application.
For more information, refer to the latest version of the infiNET Switches Installation
Guide (Doc. 6293) which is available from the Crestron website
(www.crestron.com/manuals).

The CLW-SLVS1RF (-SLVS1RF) is a slave unit that when used in conjunction with
the -SWS1RF or -SWS4RF acts as an additional switch control point in a multi­switch / single circuit application. It does not connect to an infiNET system and
cannot be used without a -SWS1RF or -SWS4RF. The -SLVS1RF does not have a
mode selection switch. It can only be programmed when used in conjunction with a

-SWS4RF (refer to “Attaching and Detaching the Electrical Load” on page 27).
Otherwise, it will emulate the RUN mode of the -SWS1RF (even if connected to a

-SWS4RF) unless the mode selection switch of the master is set to “OFF”.

These switches can be ordered with custom engraved buttons already installed by
Crestron. Engraved buttons cannot be installed or changed in the field. Contact
Crestron for more information.

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
dimmer can be covered with a decorative faceplate (not supplied).

For installation instructions, refer to the latest version of the infiNET Switches
Installation Guide (Doc. 6293), which is available from the Crestron website.

Acquiring the Switch on the infiNET Network

Before an infiNET device can be used on an infiNET network, it must first be
acquired to a C2N-MNETGW gateway that is connected to a Cresnet network.

NOTE: The -SW1RF, -SW4RF, -SWS1RF, and -SWS4RF can also work as stand­alone wall box switches without being acquired by a C2N-MNETGW.

NOTE: A switch can be acquired to only one gateway.

Acquiring the Switch

To acquire a -SW1RF/-SW4RF/-SWS1RF/-SWS4RF to C2N-MNETGW, perform
the following:

1. Put the C2N-MNETGW in the Acquire mode, from the unit itself or from

Toolbox, as described in the latest revision of the C2N-MNETGW
Operations Guide (Doc. 6137), which is available from the Crestron
website.

NOTE: In an environment where multiple gateways are installed, only one
gateway should be in the Acquire mode at a time.

2. Place the -SW1RF/-SW4RF/-SWS1RF/-SWS4RF into the Acquire mode by

doing the following:

a. Move the mode selection switch (located under the LED) to the

“OFF” position.

b. Press and hold the top or bottom of the button on the -SW1RF/

-SWS1RF or any button on the -SW4RF/-SWS4RF.

c. While holding the button, slide the mode selection switch to the

“RUN” position.

d. Hold the button for approximately five seconds until the LED

flashes HIGH once. Immediately release the button after the LED
blinks to start the dimmer’s Acquire mode.

NOTE: The LED can flash HIGH or LOW. Refer to “LED Behavior” on
page 11 for more information.

NOTE: Holding the button for a significant time after the first flash may
enter other modes. If this is not desired, return the mode selection switch to
the “OFF” position without releasing the button and repeat step 2.

After approximately ten seconds, the LED will start to blink slowly and the
switch will attempt to acquire with a C2N-MNETGW that is in the Acquire

Crestron CLW-SW1/4RF, -SWS1/4RF, -SLVS1RF infiNET™ Switches

mode. The device is acquired when the LED stops blinking and lights at the
LOW setting. After being acquired, the device will exit the Acquire mode.

The switch will be acquired on the C2N-MNETGW with an MNET ID
value of 01.

3. Take the C2N-MNETGW out of the Acquire mode once all devices have

been acquired. Refer to the latest revision of the C2N-MNETGW
Operations Guide (Doc. 6137), which is available from the Crestron
website.

To communicate with the control system program, an MNET ID value
between 03 and 20 must be assigned to the switch. For information on
assigning MNET ID values, refer to “Identity Code” on page 12.

Removing Gateway Information from a Switch

In some rare cases, it might be desirable to release a switch from a gateway. If a
switch is to be released from a gateway, the gateway information must be cleared
from the switch’s memory.

To clear a switch’s gateway information:

1. Move the mode selection switch (located under the LED) to the “OFF”

position.

Operation

2. Press and hold the top or bottom of the button on the -SW1RF/-SWS1RF or

any button on the -SW4RF/-SWS4RF.

3. While holding the button, slide the mode selection switch to the “RUN”

position.

4. Hold the button for approximately ten seconds until the LED flashes twice.

Immediately release the button after the LED flashes twice to clear the
switch’s gateway information. Reacquire the switch if desired.

A switch can also be released from a gateway using Toolbox. Refer to the latest
revision of the C2N-MNETGW Operations Guide (Doc. 6137) for instructions.

During operation, the device may be warm to the touch during operation. This is
normal.

Mode Selection Switch

These switches use a three-position mode selection switch to set the mode of
operation.

OFF

When the mode selection switch is in the “OFF” position, the pushbutton(s) 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. Slave devices that are connected to the switch will not have any function
when the Master’s mode selection switch is in the “OFF” position.

RUN

When the switch is in the “RUN” position, it is operating in the RUN mode. This is
the normal operating mode of the switch. The RUN mode is used to turn the load on
and off. If a delay time is set, the switch will turn off the load after the set delay time.
For information on setting a delay time, refer to “SET” below.

Refer to the following table for a list of available functions when the switch is
operating in the RUN mode.

NOTE: If the behavior of the -SW4RF/-SWS4RF has not been changed in
