Crestron CLW-DIM1RF Manual

Introduction

Features and Functions

The CLW-DIM1RF (-DIM1RF) and CLW-DIM4RF
(-DIM4RF) are stand-alone wall box dimmers that can
also act as wireless infiNET™ devices that report to a
®
Crestron control processor through an infiNET gateway
such as the Crestron C2N-MNETGW. The -DIM1RF and
-DIM4RF have three preset lighting levels that can be
adjusted. For more information, refer to the latest version
of the infiNET Dimmers Operations Guide (Doc. 6396)
which is available from the Crestron website
(www.crestron.com/manuals).
These dimmers are part of Crestron's line of lighting
products using infiNET mesh network technology.
infiNET technology is "Wi-Fi" friendly and provides fault
tolerance and increased effective signal strength as
network devices are added.
Up to 30 infiNET devices (including C2N-MNETRPT
infiNET Repeaters) can communicate with one
C2N-MNETGW Gateway. If more devices are needed,
more C2N-MNETGW gateways may be added to a
®
Cresnet network.
The infiNET dimmers operate on the 2.4 GHz "ISM
band" (2400 MHz to 2483.6 MHz) at 10 mW. The output
power of these devices allow RF signals to travel
approximately 150 feet indoors and 250 feet outdoors
(subject to site-specific conditions) without the use of
repeaters or other infiNET devices. The range is
dependent on construction of the building, obstructions,
and RF interference from other devices. The location of
the dimmer is an important factor in determining RF
performance. Adding more infiNET devices or repeaters
to the network effectively increases the range, strength,
and reliability of the network.
The -DIM1RF and -DIM4RF feature a three-position
mode selection switch. For more information, refer to the
latest version of the infiNET Dimmers Operations Guide
(Doc. 6396) which is available from the Crestron website.
In the absence of control system communications, the
dimmer can still be used to control the attached load.
The CLW-DIMS1RF (-DIMS1RF) and CLW-DIMS4RF
(-DIMS4RF) are similar to the -DIM1RF and -DIM4RF
(respectively) with the added capability of working with
one or more slave units (CLW-SLVD1RF) in a multi-
dimmer / single circuit application.
The CLW-SLVD1RF (-SLVD1RF) is a slave unit that
when used in conjunction with the -DIMS1RF or
-DIMS4RF acts as an additional dimmer control point in a
multi-dimmer / single circuit application. It does not

infiNET™ DIMMERS
connect to a Cresnet system and cannot be used without a
-DIMS1RF or -DIMS4RF. The -SLVD1RF does not have
a mode selection switch. It will emulate the RUN mode of
the -DIMS1RF (even if connected to a -DIMS4RF) unless
the mode selection switch of the master is set to "OFF".
For more information, refer to the latest version of the
infiNET Dimmers Operations Guide (Doc. 6396) which is
available from the Crestron website.
These dimmers are available in white, almond, and black.
White units are designated by part numbers ending in
"W". Almond units are designated by part numbers
ending in "A". Black units are designated by part numbers
ending in "B". Each dimmer can be covered with a
decorative faceplate (not supplied).
