Crestron CLCI-MCEX In-Ceiling Motor Controller, infiNET EX Wireless, 230VAC

About the Crestron CLCI-MCEX

The single channel is made up of two interlocking switched outputs, SW1 for raise or open and SW2 for lower or close. It is rated at 2.5A FLA and 15A LRA at 230VAC, for loads with a power factor of 0.50 or greater. Line power is 230VAC at 50/60Hz, and green LEDs show which output is switched on.

The infiNET EX transceiver is 2-way RF on 2.4 GHz channels 11 to 26 and needs a Crestron wireless gateway, sold separately. Range is 30 m (100 ft) indoors between devices and 46 m (150 ft) indoors to the gateway. Once on the network, the motor can be run from any Crestron keypad, touch panel, remote or mobile device, and Crestron Fusion software can tie in occupancy sensors and photocells to manage energy.

A 230V SPST normally-open switch, momentary or maintained, can be wired to the R terminal for basic open and close control. Parallel line and neutral terminals allow CLCI devices to be daisy-chained, and each terminal takes a single 1 to 2.5 mm² wire. The plastic surface-mount housing measures 41 x 178 x 55 mm and weighs 199 g.

Questions about the Crestron CLCI-MCEX

What is the Crestron CLCI-MCEX?

It is a single-channel bidirectional motor controller for 230V equipment such as window shutters, shades, projection screens and lifts. The ultra-slim unit sits in the ceiling next to or near the motor and communicates with a Crestron control system over infiNET EX wireless.

What motor load can the CLCI-MCEX handle?

It is rated at 2.5A FLA and 15A LRA at 230VAC, for bidirectional motor loads with a power factor of 0.50 or greater. The channel has two interlocking switched outputs, one for raise or open and one for lower or close.

Does the CLCI-MCEX need a gateway?

Yes. It requires a Crestron wireless gateway, sold separately, to join the control system over infiNET EX. Range to the gateway is 46 m (150 ft) indoors and 75 m (250 ft) outdoors, and 30 m (100 ft) indoors between devices.

Can a wall switch operate the motor?

Yes. A 230V SPST normally-open switch with momentary or maintained contact can be connected to the remote switch terminal for basic open and close control. The connected switch or the on-board button can also be used for setup.

How big is the unit?

The plastic surface-mount housing measures 41 mm high, 178 mm wide and 55 mm deep and weighs 199 g (7 oz). It is rated for 0 to 40°C and 10% to 90% relative humidity, and two green LEDs show which output is on.

How much is the Crestron CLCI-MCEX?

Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the CLCI-MCEX directly rather than publish it online. Add it to your quote list and we will send you a written quote, with delivery, and installation and programming if you need them.

Can 1Install supply, install and programme the CLCI-MCEX?

Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the CLCI-MCEX on its own, or install, set up and programme it as part of your system. Installation visits are €440 for 4 hours or €880 for a full day, plus VAT and travel.

Does the CLCI-MCEX come with a warranty?

Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the CLCI-MCEX develops a fault, contact us and we will handle the claim with Crestron. If we installed it, our workmanship is guaranteed for the lifetime of the system.

Is the CLCI-MCEX in stock?

We order Crestron for each quote, so availability depends on Crestron's stock at the time. We check it before we quote and put the expected delivery date on your quote, so you know where you stand before you pay.

Can I buy the CLCI-MCEX without installation?

Yes. We supply Crestron to end users, with or without installation. Like most Crestron devices of this type, it needs setting up or programming before it works in a system, and we can quote for that too.
