CLW-LSWEX-1GD/CLW-LSWEX-1GU/CLW-LSWEX-2GD
Wireless Lamp Switch
Installation and Operation Guide
Description
The CLW-LSWEX-1GD, CLW-LSWEX-1GU, and CLW-LSWEX-2GD are plug-in switches
designed to operate as part of a complete Crestron
®
automation system communicating
via the infiNET EX
®
wireless control network. Without the need for additional control wiring,
the CLW-LSWEX-1GD, CLW-LSWEX-1GU, and CLW-LSWEX-2GD easily act in place of a
standard light switch for conventional floor and table lamps.
The CLW-LSWEX-1GD, CLW-LSWEX-1GU, and CLW-LSWEX-2GD are functionally
identical. For simplicity within this guide, the term “CLW-LSWEX” is used except where
noted.
CLW-LSWEX Specifications

Wireless Communications
The device connects to the Crestron network via the infiNET EX communications protocol.
Use the procedures outlined below to join or leave an infiNET EX network and to verify
communications between the device and the control system.
Joining an infiNET EX Network
Before a device can be used in a lighting system, it must first join an infiNET EX network.
To join an infiNET EX network, the device must be acquired by an infiNET EX gateway.
NOTE
: A device can be acquired by only one gateway.
1. Put the infiNET 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 button 1 on the device three times, and then press and hold it down
(tap-tap-tap-press+hold) until the LED on the device blinks once (this can take up
to 10 seconds).
NOTE
: On the CLW-LSWEX-2GD, button 1 or 2 can be used.
b. Release the button to start the acquire process. The top LED blinks slowly to
show that the device is actively scanning the infiNET EX network.
• The LED turns on for 5 seconds to show that the device has been successfully
acquired by the infiNET EX network.
• The LED blinks fast to indicate that the device was not successfully acquired
by the infiNET EX network. Tap the top 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 infiNET EX Network
To leave an infiNET EX network, put the device into Acquire mode, as described in
“Joining an infiNET EX Network” above, when no gateway is in Acquire mode.
Verifying Communications Status
To check the communications status of the device, tap the 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.
Load 1 receptacle
Load 2 receptacle
(CLW-LSWEX-2GD only)
Button 1:
