Programming Guide
Controls and Indicators
The Crestron CSM-QMTDC shade motors have labeled 
UPSET, and DN push buttons 
that are used to program the shade. The motors have a multicolor LED that lights red, 
amber, green, blue, or white to provide confirmation, operating mode, and error state 
feedback. The 
UP button is located closest to the LED, the SET button is the second 
button from the LED, and the 
DN (down) button is the third button from the LED. Refer to 
the illustration below for details.

Test the Shade
Before the shade is operated, the motor must be tested to ensure that the motor direction 
is correct and that the shade travels correctly while raising and lowering.
WARNING:  Care has been taken to ensure that your shade is properly balanced. Prior 
to initial operation, please confirm that your brackets have been adjusted so that the 
shade hangs level and plumb. Upon startup, run the shade all the way down and check 
for plumb. Observe the shade closely as it rolls up. If the shade begins to telescope, 
stop immediately and take the appropriate action to ensure the shade tracks properly. 
To prevent damage to the fabric from telescoping, you should not leave the shade 
unattended during the first few cycles of operation. Failure to follow these instructions 
may result in damage to the edge of the fabric, which is not covered by the warranty.
Test Motor Direction
Press the DN (down) button to lower the shade. If the shade begins to travel up, the motor 
direction must be reversed.
To reverse the shade direction, press and hold the SET button for 10 seconds. The red 
LED lights for 3 seconds. 
NOTE
:  Reversing the direction of the motor resets any limits that have been previously 
set. After setting either the upper or lower limit, the motor automatically enters Limit Setup 
mode for the opposite limit. Follow the procedure in "Set Shade Limits" to reassign limits.
Test Shade Travel
Using the 
DN and UP buttons, ensure that the shade travels to the anticipated lower limit 
and then back to the expected upper limit. The shade should not come in contact with any 
building materials. 
The shade should travel the full length of the window opening and stop before reaching 
the top or bottom of the window opening. If the shade does not travel as expected, refer 
to "Set Up the Shade" below. 
Set Up the Shade
Test Shade Limits
Shade limits are set from the factory, but it may be necessary to reset them depending on 
the installation conditions. Test the lower limits by lowering the shade until it reaches its 
lower limit. Test the upper limits by raising the shade until it reaches its upper limit. Refer 
to “Set Shade Limits” if the limits need to change.
Set Shade Limits
When the shade limits are not set, the red LED blinks three times, pauses for 1 second, 
blinks once, pauses for 5 seconds, and then repeats this code until the limits are set.
NOTE:  After 8 seconds of inactivity, Limit Setup mode is exited.
Set the lower limit for the shade.
  1.  Press and hold 
SET for 4 seconds to enter Limit Setup mode. The LED alternates 
between amber and green. 
  2.  Press and release the 
DN button to begin lower limit setup. The green LED blinks.
  3.  Use the 
UP and DN buttons to set the shade to its desired position.
  4.  Press and hold 
SET for 4 seconds. The LED turns solid red to confirm that the lower 
limit was successfully set.
NOTE:  If the upper limit is not set when the lower limit is saved, the motor automatically 
enters upper limit mode upon saving the lower limit. This typically occurs when the 
motor direction has been reversed and both limits are erased.
Set the upper limit for the shade.
  1.  Press and hold SET for 4 seconds to enter Limit Setup mode. The LED alternates 
between amber and green. 
  2.  Press and release the UP button to begin upper limit setup. The amber LED blinks.
  3.  Use the UP and DN buttons to set the shade to its desired position.
  4.  Press and hold SET for 4 seconds. The LED turns solid red to confirm that the upper 
limit was successfully set.
NOTE:  If the lower limit is not set when the upper limit is saved, the motor switches to 
allow setting the lower limit after saving the upper limit. This typically occurs when the 
motor direction has been reversed and both limits are erased.
Joining an infiNET EX Network (infiNET EX Interfaces Only)
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 shading system, it must first join an infiNET EX network 
by being 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™, as described in its manual at www.crestron.com/manuals.
NOTE:  In an environment where multiple gateways are installed, only one 
gateway should be in the Acquire mode at any time.
  2.  Place the device into Acquire mode.
 
a.  Tap the 
SET button three times, then press and hold it down 
(tap-tap-tap-press+hold) until the white LED starts to blink (this can take up to 10 
seconds).
 
b. When the white LED blinks, release the button to start the acquire process.
 
•  The interface is acquired when the LED stops blinking. 
 
•  If the acquire process fails, the LED blinks rapidly until a button is pressed.
  3.  Once all devices have been acquired, take the gateway out of Acquire mode. Refer 
to the gateways’ operations guide for more information
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 
SET 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.
Description
The Crestron

 CSM-QMTDC shade motors are programmed locally using the 
buttons on the motor. The information in this guide serves as a detailed overview of the 
programming of the Crestron CSM-QMTDC shade motors.
NOTE:  The procedures described in this document can also be performed remotely via 
a Crestron control system. The timeout and LED indicators are the same as described in 
this document.
infiNET EX Motor Comunication
Refer to the Best Practices for Installation and Setup of Crestron RF Products Reference
