Somfy Shade Controller Crestron C2N-SSC-2 conductor and the other twisted pair is the Y conductor and the Z conductor. Strip and Tin 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.

Somfy Shade Controller Crestron C2N-SSC-2 Appendix: Prior Firmware Version Configuration The following procedures apply only to C2N-SSC-2 units with firmware versions prior to 2.2.0. When an ILT shade is first installed, the limits of travel will normally come “pinched” together so that the shade will not move up or down. Limits and travel direction for an ILT shade are not set mechanically, but are stored electronically in the shade motor itself.
Crestron C2N-SSC-2 Somfy Shade Controller Shade Limit Control Pushbutton Functions (Continued) Down Button (J) In limit-setting mode, moves shade down; sets limit on release. When not in limit-setting mode, hold button down for 10 seconds to reverse Shade 2 orientation. SETUP LED gives confirming flash when reversal is executed. To prevent inadvertent setting of very wide limits, continuous adjustment is allowed for periods of twenty seconds.
Somfy Shade Controller Crestron C2N-SSC-2 travel for shade 1. Use the up (K) and down (j) buttons to adjust the upper limit position. The shade will roll in the direction selected until the button is released or the 20-second, limit-setting period ends. Upon release of the button, the upper limit of travel will be stored in the ILT shade. If necessary, repeat the procedure until the shade is correctly positioned. Setting Shade 1 Lower Limit Press the shade 1 adjust lower limit button for shade 1.
Crestron C2N-SSC-2 Somfy Shade Controller at least 10 seconds. The SETUP LED will give a confirming flash. The direction of travel for shade 2 has now been reversed. NOTE: Perform shade reversals on one shade at a time.
