The device connects to the Crestron network via the inNET EX communications protocol.
Use the procedures outlined below to join or leave an inNET EX network and to verify
communications between the device and the control system.
Joining an inNET EX Network
Before a device can be used in a lighting system, it must rst join an inNET EX network.
To join an inNET EX network, the device must be acquired by an inNET EX gateway.
NOTE: A device can be acquired by only one gateway.
1. Put the inNET EX gateway into Acquire mode from the unit itself or from Crestron
Toolbox. Refer to the gateway’s manual at www.crestron.com/manuals for details.
NOTE: In an environment where multiple gateways are installed, only one
gateway should be in Acquire mode at any time.
2. Put the device into Acquire mode.
a. Tap the Setup button on the device three times, and then press and hold it down
(tap-tap-tap-press+hold) until the On and Off LEDs blink once (this can take up to
b. Release the Setup button to start the acquire process. The On LED and the
attached load blink slowly to show that the device is actively scanning the inNET
NOTE: The acquire process can also be initiated by a remote maintained
switch (if equipped) by ipping the switch four times rapidly or by tapping the
remote momentary switch (if equipped) four times rapidly. The On LED and
attached load will blink (this can take up to 10 seconds).
• The On LED and attached load turn on for 5 seconds to show that the device
has been successfully acquired by the infiNET EX network.
• The On LED and attached load blink fast to indicate that the device was not
successfully acquired by the infiNET EX network. Tap the button to
acknowledge the failure. Ensure the gateway is in Acquire mode and within
range before attempting the acquire process again.
3. Once all devices have been acquired, take the gateway out of Acquire mode. Refer
to the gateway’s manual for details.
Leaving an inNET EX Network
To leave an inNET EX network, put the device into Acquire mode, as described in
“Joining an inNET EX Network” above, when no gateway is in Acquire mode.
Verifying Communications Status
To check the communications status of the device, tap the Setup button three times and
then press and hold it down (tap-tap-tap-press+hold) for up to 2 seconds. The LED blinks
to indicate the communications status. Refer to the following table for details.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Compliance Statement
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
CAUTION: Changes or modications not expressly approved by the manufacturer responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more if the
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Industry Canada (IC) Compliance Statement
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio
exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit
pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique
subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type
and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner
avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie
Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres
utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée
équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication
To satisfy RF exposure requirements, this device and its antenna must operate with a separation
distance of at least 20 centimeters from all persons and must not be colocated or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
