Crestron CSP-LSP Lightning Strike Protector
Cresnet® Lighting Strike
Protector: Crestron CSP-LSP
Introduction
The CSP-LSP is an accessory designed to protect a Crestron® control
system from lightning surges and other electrical disturbances brought
through the Cresnet control line. Four-stage lightning suppression
provides superior protection against damage to the control system caused
by lightning strikes to remote Cresnet devices and wiring, especially
outdoor equipment and underground cabling. It is also effective for
protection against transients picked up by indoor networks in any facility
that is particularly prone to near lightning strikes.
Features and Functions
• Sophisticated four-stage lightning suppression
• Protects control systems from surges and transients on the
Cresnet network
• Recommended for all outdoor Cresnet cable runs
• Multiple Cresnet ports for easy termination
• Includes grounding strap and clamp
The CSP-LSP provides protection for a single control system and any
portion of its Cresnet network. It may be located near the central
equipment cabinet to protect only the control system and centralized
devices, or it may be installed at the point of entry from an outdoor
Cresnet cable to protect the entire indoor Cresnet network. For networks

that span multiple buildings, a separate CSP-LSP can be installed in each
building to protect all of the local devices within each building.
The CSP-LSP is designed for mounting to a wall or similar flat surface.
Two protected CONTROL SYSTEM ports are provided, paralleled for
easy daisy chaining to a second CSP-LSP or other Cresnet equipment.
Four paralleled DEVICE ports accommodate the connections from one
or more remote Cresnet wire runs. Two #10 ground lugs provide for
termination of the grounding cable. A three foot long braided ground
wire is included, complete with a copper saddle clamp for attachment to a
suitable utility ground, cold water pipe, or grounding rod. A bus bar is
also included for daisy chaining to a second CSP-LSP unit.

Hardware Hookup
The CSP-LSP can be connected locally to protect a nearby control
system and Cresnet devices. The CSP-LSP can also be connected to
remote Cresnet devices or another CSP-LSP to provide protection to
Cresnet devices that are connected with substantially longer wire runs.
Make the necessary connections as called out in the illustrations below
and on the next page. Refer to “Network Wiring” on page 11 when
attaching the 4-position terminal block connectors. Be sure to carefully
review each hardware connection diagram before proceeding.
Local
Connections
Local connections refer to connections made from the CSP-LSP to Cresnet
devices which do not include wire runs exceeding 500 feet or wire runs
situated outdoors, including underground wire runs. Cresnet devices at these
local distance are referred to as local Cresnet devices.

Remote Cresnet devices must be powered by a separate power supply either individually
or by supplying power to the Cresnet network via one of the CONTROL SYSTEM ports.
When making connections to the CSP-LSP, the included braided ground
strap cannot be extended.
NOTE: Do not daisy chain more than two CSP-LSP units in one
application.
NOTE: Ensure the unit is properly grounded using the provided
grounding strap.
NOTE: A CNPWS-75 Cresnet power supply may be used to power
remote Cresnet devices.

Crestron CSP-LSP Lightning Strike Protector
Operation
The CSP-LSP can be connected either locally or remotely, while up to
two CSP-LSP devices may be daisy chained together in either connection
configuration.
Local CSP-LSP Operation
Locally, one of the CONTROL SYSTEM ports must be connected to
the control system. The other CONTROL SYSTEM port provides
maximum protection for another Cresnet device or if multiple local
devices exist, should be connected to a C2N-HBLOCK, which can
distribute protection for up to 15 Cresnet peripherals.
The DEVICE ports can also offer some protection locally or are
designed to carry data and ground to remote Cresnet devices or another
CSP-LSP.
When connecting the CSP-LSP unit in a local connection configuration,
only one of the grounding studs needs to be connected. The second
grounding stud may be left unconnected.
Remote CSP-LSP Operation
One DEVICE port delivers data and ground to the remote CSP-LSP.
These signals can be carried to yet another remote CSP-LSP via one of
the other DEVICE ports.
At the remote location, one CONTROL SYSTEM port should be
connected to a power supply so that all remote Cresnet devices can be
properly powered. The other CONTROL SYSTEM port provides
maximum protection for another Cresnet device or if multiple local
devices exist, should be connected to a C2N-HBLOCK, which can
distribute protection for up to 15 Cresnet peripherals.
When connecting the CSP-LSP unit in a remote connection
configuration, only one of the grounding studs needs to be connected.
The second grounding stud may be left unconnected.

Lightning Strike Protector Crestron CSP-LSP
Daisy Chaining
Up to two CSP-LSP units can be daisy chained when a C2N-HBLOCK is
not a practical option. Daisy chaining two CSP-LSP units provide up to
four protected CONTROL SYSTEM ports.
When CSP-LSP units are being daisy-chained together, connect both of
the available grounding studs to a good earth ground using the grounding
straps provided with each unit.

CORRECTIVE
ACTION
Replace CSP-LSP.
Check Network Wiring
In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your
installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire and only Crestron Certified
Wire may be used. Failure to do so may incur additional charges if
support is required to identify performance deficiencies because of using
improper wire.
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.
