Crestron CLS-C6/C6M & CLSI-C6/C6M

Operation

Standard Mode
Daylight Harvesting
The CLS-C6 supports use of a
photocell to automatically reduce
light levels when natural light is
present (aka "Daylight Harvesting").
Each load can be set for a custom
response to daylight levels, or set to
not respond at all.
If a photocell is present, Scenes 1
through 8 (plus the ON scene)
automatically utilize Daylight
Harvesting. Scenes 9 through 16
ignore daylight harvesting at all
times.
When under photocell control, the
load level can change automatically
based on the current photocell level
and the scene setting. When this
automatic behavior is enabled, the
top bar graph LED for that load
blink.
Operations Guide – DOC. 6347E
The iLux always operates in one of four modes. The Setup mode is used to redefine
many of the CLS-C6 settings. Details regarding the Setup mode are given in "Setup
Mode" on page 12.
The following sections provide detailed descriptions of the Standard, Lights, and
Shades modes. It is important to have a good understanding of these operating modes
before attempting to take advantage of the extensive features available through the
CLS-C6. (Refer also to "Appendix E: Button Functions" on page 74 for details on
button functions.)
Standard mode is the default mode; buttons are typically used to recall scenes,
although they can be redefined to serve other functions.
By default, the six function buttons across the front panel are simple scene
•
recall buttons. The buttons can be reprogrammed in Setup mode, or via the
iLux Designer program, to perform different actions.
The ON button function always recalls the "On" scene. The typical On
•
scene is all lights at 100%; however, other value can be set just like any
other scene.
The OFF button function always recalls the "Off" scene. The "Off" scene
•
always sets all lights to 0%; however, fade time and shade motor behavior
are programmable.
• Whenever all the lighting loads are off (irrespective of how they are turned
off), the "air-gap" relay opens (after a 2-second delay), to allow servicing of
the lighting loads.
• The up/down push button can be defined to be either "lights master" or
"shades master."
⇒ If defined to be lights master, it ramps the lighting loads included in the
most recently recalled scene up and down. Non-dim loads are not
affected.
⇒ If defined to be shades master, all shade groups are affected. Refer to
"Shades mode" on page 39 for operating details.
⇒ Using the iLux Designer program, this button may be assigned to
activate the Shift function rather than being a lights or shades master.
Pressing the button toggles between "upper" and "lower" function sets.
⇒ Using the iLux Designer software, it is also possible to assign this
button as "all lights" master, instead of "last scene" master.
• The six bar graphs indicate current intensity for each of the six lighting
loads.
• The two-digit display is normally blank, except when a scene recall is in
progress. It then shows the time remaining for lights to reach their target
values.

Button Types

In Standard mode, the six function buttons can be programmed in Setup mode to be
one of the following types. Using the iLux Designer software, other button functions
