Design Guide – DOC. 5999A

Hardware

These are the steps for ordering a Crestron lighting control system, regardless of the
size. Each system and module contains the appropriate installation literature and
operation guide.
Steps to order a lighting system:
Survey all lights and loads to be controlled.
STEP 1:
Determine the number and types of modules and terminal blocks
STEP 2:
needed to control lights and loads based on the load schedule and
wiring plan.
Determine the number and type of CAEN enclosures required
STEP 3:
Determine the number of keypads, wall panels, and touchpanels.
STEP 4:
Determine the wiring accessories, cabling and power supplies required.
STEP 5:
Determine the number of control processors required.
STEP 6:
Determine the number of CAEN-BLOCKs required for all components
STEP 7:
and locations.
Determine the number and type of accessory plates required.
STEP 8:
Place an order for Crestron items as identified in steps 2-8.
STEP 9:
Crestron ships all items to the jobsite for assembly and wiring.

Programming

The lighting system designer finalizes the implementation of the lighting control
system with the Crestron D3 Pro System Programming software package or with
SIMPL Windows for the more advanced Cresnet programmers.
Crestron D3 Pro Software provides all the tools necessary to create a complete
Crestron Lighting System for residential applications. The lighting system includes
the control system program, touchpanel screens and keypad programming,
documentation, and real-time lighting adjustment capabilities. As with all Crestron
software, the D3 Pro software provides extensive right-click and drag-and-drop
functionality, in addition to convenient keyboard shortcuts for frequently used
functions and commands.
D3 Pro is organized into six views of the lighting system, each displaying a program
detail area, a toolbox of devices such as interfaces, fixtures, and modules, and a
system directory of devices arranged by location. You can add a device to your
system simply by selecting it from the toolbox and dragging it to a room in the
system directory. The available devices differ depending on the view, but all the
views have a general toolbox that allows you to add areas and rooms at any time.
Refer to the latest version of the Crestron D3 Pro Reference Guide (Doc. 5998)
available from the Crestron web site (www.crestron.com) for detailed information
about D3 Pro.
