Crestron CLS-C6/C6M & CLSI-C6/C6M
Operations Guide – DOC. 6347E
Configuring the CLS-C6 consists of setting the load schedule definition, the shade
group configuration, the scene definitions, the CLS-C6 panel configuration and
keypads configuration for each CLS-C6 device.
NOTE: Only one CLS-C6 can be configured at a time. If there are multiple CLS-C6
units in a system, each one must be individually configured.
The following are the minimum software versions required to use the iLux Designer
program.
ILux Designer version 1.02.05 or later
Crestron Toolbox version 1.01.11 or later
Crestron Engraver version 2.5.0 or later*
Crestron Database version 17.3.0 or later*
*Required only if using Crestron Engraver to prepare custom labeling.
The following sections provide a brief description of the iLux Designer functions.
Refer to the iLux Designer online help for detailed explanations.
Load Schedule
The "Load Schedule" screen allows identification of up to six lighting loads
(circuits), add lighting load types for each channel; specify load type fixture wattage
and quantity; specify the breaker size; specify the expected loss factor from magnetic
transformers (magnetic low voltage, and neon/cold-cathode types only); specify
upper and lower dimmer levels; and specify non-dimmer behavior.
The software issues warnings if the individual loads or total system wattage exceeds
specified limits: 800 watts per load – 1920 watts system maximum with a 20A
breaker (1440 watts maximum with a 15A breaker, and 1000 watts maximum with
an Arc Fault breaker) for a 120 VAC installation; and 800 watts per load – 2200
watts system maximum for a 220 VAC installation, 2300 watts system maximum for
a 230 VAC installation, and 2400 watts system maximum for a 240 VAC
installation.
Shades
The "Shades" screen allows up to 16 shade controllers to be assigned, define up to
six shade groups; enter appropriate values for jog time, maximum time and lockout
time; and select the shade controller channels to be assigned to each shade group.
With SDC and SDC-DC shade controllers, there is no way for the system to
recognize when the shade has reached the limits of travel and stopped. If the shade is
commanded to go to full open or full close, the system assumes it is moving until the
max time is reached. To set the max time effectively, measure the time it takes the
shade to travel from full close to full open and the time to travel from full open to
full close. Take the longer of these two times and set max time slightly more than
that. Actual experience may require that a longer time is set.
Scenes
The "Scenes" screen allows 15 regular scenes to be defined (lighting levels and
shade positions) in addition to the standard Off and On scenes. For all scenes, enter a
fade time in seconds or minutes, and the desired level for each lighting load. (Select
– – if a given load should not be affected by that scene.) Similarly, set the desired
position for any shade groups. To prevent changing those settings from the front
panel, check the Front Panel Lockout box.
