Crestron CLCI-MCEX-W – In-Ceiling Motor Controller, infiNET EX Wire...
Product Overview
The Crestron CLCI-MCEX-W is a single-channel bidirectional motor controller designed for in-ceiling installation at 230V AC, using infiNET EX wireless technology to communicate with a Crestron control system. It controls window shutters, motorized shades, projection screens, lift mechanisms, and similar bidirectional 230V motor loads without requiring dedicated control wiring. Its ultra-slim form factor installs inline near the motor in new construction or retrofit ceiling spaces.
Product Description
The CLCI-MCEX-W provides two interlocking switched outputs for open/close (raise/lower) bidirectional motor control, rated at 2.5A FLA (15A LRA) at 230V AC. Captive screw terminals accommodate loop-through wiring so multiple CLCI units can be daisy-chained without additional junction boxes or wire connectors, accelerating deployment in multi-zone applications. A standard maintained or momentary switch can be connected to the R terminal for local open/close control without requiring a Crestron touch panel. The setup process is initiated via an on-board button or the connected switch, so technicians do not need ladder access to the ceiling-mounted unit after initial installation. When connected to a Crestron control system via an infiNET EX gateway, the motor controller is fully manageable from any keypad, touch panel, or mobile device.
Key Features
- Single-channel bidirectional motor control (raise/open and lower/close)

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the CLCI-MCEX-W control any bidirectional 230V motor?
A: The CLCI-MCEX-W is rated for bidirectional motors at 2.5A FLA (full load amps) and 15A LRA (locked rotor amps) at 230V AC, with a minimum power factor of 0.50. It is compatible with window shutters, motorized shades, projection screens, lifts, and similar motor loads meeting these ratings.
Q: Does installation require running new control wire to the ceiling?
A: No. The CLCI-MCEX-W communicates via infiNET EX wireless and installs inline using the existing line voltage wiring at the motor location. No separate control cable is needed, making it well suited for both new construction and retrofit installations.
Q: What infiNET EX gateway is required?
A: The CLCI-MCEX-W requires a compatible Crestron infiNET EX wireless gateway, such as a CEN-RFGW-EX or equivalent, sold separately. Up to 100 infiNET EX devices can coexist on a single wireless network.
