95 +ShowRunnerCLC™ can use output relays on Crestron hardware to control shades provided that the shades controller is capable of accepting a contact closure input for third-party control of the shades.
96 +
97 +=== Hardware Requirements ===
98 +
99 +* Crestron devices with output relays must be specified (refer to table above for commonly specified hardware)
100 +* Two Crestron relays must be available for each zone of shades to be controlled
101 +** Depending on the shade hardware and the job requirements, it may be possible to combine multiple shades to be controlled together onto a single pair of Crestron relays
102 +* Standard command outputs are as follows:
103 +** Open: close relay 1
104 +** Close: close relay 2
105 +** Stop: close both relays simultaneously
106 +* It is recommended that shade interfaces be installed as close as possible to the Crestron relays controlling them to prevent issues from voltage drop or EMF in the wiring between the relay and the shade interface
107 +
108 +=== Information Requirements ===
109 +
110 +* (Required) Quantity and location of Crestron devices to be used for contact closure shade control
111 +* (Required) Quantity and location of shades to be controlled
