Crestron CLS-EXP-DIMU Installation Manual

Functional Summary
The CLS-EXP-DIMU enables the expansion of Crestron
®
iLux Integrated Lighting System (CLS-C6 Series) and
other Crestron lighting dimmers to allow dimming of both
forward and reverse phase type loads. Supported loads
1
include LED, electronic low-voltage, magnetic low-
voltage, neon/cold cathode, incandescent, or 2-wire
dimmable fluorescent. A single model supports 120, 230,
or 277 volt loads up to 16 amps.
The CLS-EXP-DIMU simplifies installation by
autodetecting the dimmable load type connected to it and
selecting the appropriate operating mode to control that
load. Reverse Phase (trailing edge) mode supports
incandescent and electronic low-voltage load types, while
Forward Phase (leading edge) mode handles magnetic
low-voltage, neon, and other inductive load types.
Any output channel of the iLux system can be used to
control the CLS-EXP-DIMU to dim a fully loaded circuit.
It is also compatible with CLW-Series
and select CLX-Series lighting control modules.
metal enclosure is designed for mounting to a vertical
4
surface and can be installed in an environmental
air-handling space above a suspended ceiling. Conduit
knockouts are provided on the bottom and lower sides.
All connections are made via screw terminals behind the
front cover.
• Works with Crestron iLux, CLW-,
CLX-Series dimmers
• Emulates the characteristics of the dimmer that is
controlling it
• Up to five expansion modules can be connected
to a single iLux dimmer channel
• Supports 120, 230, and 277 volt LED,
MLV, NCC, incandescent, and 2-wire dimmable
fluorescent loads
• Auto-selects for forward or reverse phase
• Includes threshold adjustment for setting
minimum fluorescent dimming level
• Built-in air gap relay at the output
• Mounts to a wall or above a suspended ceiling

2. CLW-Series device must have a dedicated neutral.
3. Compatible only with forward-phase dimming modules.
4. Must be oriented upright, mounted to a vertical surface, with
6 in (153 mm) minimum spacing above and below for proper
ventilation and heat dissipation.
