CLS-EXP-DIMFLV
0-10 V Fluorescent Dimmer Expansion Module
Installation Guide
Description
The Crestron®CLS-EXP-DIMFLV enables the expansion of iLux®Integrated Lighting
System (CLS-C6 Series) and other Crestron lighting dimmers to allow control of 0-10
volt uorescent dimming ballasts. It can also be used to switch nondimmable loads
including LED, incandescent, MLV, ELV, HID, uorescent ballasts, and motors. The
CLS-EXP-DIMFLV supports 120, 230, or 277 volt loads up to 16 amps.
Any output channel of the iLux system can be used to control the CLS-EXP-DIMFLV to
dim a fully loaded circuit. It is also compatible with CLW-series in-wall dimmers and select
CLX-series lighting control modules. The metal enclosure is designed for mounting to
a vertical 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.
NOTE: CLX-series lighting control modules are compatible only with forward-phase
dimming modules.

Installation
Refer to the following diagram when installing a CLS-EXP-DIMFLV module.
NOTE: Install in accordance with all local and national electrical codes.
NOTE: To prevent potential heat damage to the drywall, do not mount the
CLS-EXP-DIMFLV directly onto drywall. Mount a piece of 1/2 in (13 mm) minimum thick
plywood between the CLS-EXP-DIMFLV and the drywall.
NOTE: To ensure proper ventilation, the device must be installed vertically on a vertical
surface. Install the device with 6 inches (153 mm) of clearance from the top and bottom
of the device.

Wiring
To wire the CLS-EXP-DIMFLV, remove the cover and make the connections.
WARNING: RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Turn off power at the circuit
breaker(s) prior to installation. Installing with the power on can result in serious personal
injury and damage to the device.
Remove the Cover
Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the cover screws and then the cover.

Make the Connections
There are seven captive screw terminals on the CLS-EXP-DIMFLV that allow power input,
power output, and load control.
NOTE: Observe the following points:
• Strip wires to 7/16 in (12mm).
• Tighten terminal screws to 7 in-lbs (0.79Nm).
• Captive screw terminals accept up to two 22 to 12 AWG (0.34 to 4mm2) wires per
terminal.
• Dimmer channels controlling one or more CLS-EXP-DIMFLV modules must not be
wired to control any other type of load.
• While these diagrams show a CLS-C6 as the controlling source, other Crestron
products such as CLW-series wall dimmers (Cresnet®and inNET™ dimmers) and
CLX-series dimming modules can be used as well. Refer to “CLS-EXP-DIMFLV
Specications” on page 1 for details.
• Use a neutral wire for a CLW-Series wall dimmer.
• Use 75°C copper wire only.
• The CLS-EXP-DIMFLV presents a 25 W load to the controlling dimmer. A maximum
of ve CLS-EXP-DIMFLV modules may be connected to the controlling dimmer,
which cannot be wired to control any other loads besides the CLS-EXP-DIMFLV
modules.
• Separate Class 1 and Class 2 wires. When wiring a 0-10 V uorescent dimmer, the
+and –make connections using Class1 or Class2 wiring. If Class 1 wiring is used,
the barrier between the NEUT and + terminals can be removed.
Wire the CLS-EXP-DIMFLV for a 0-10 V dimming or a switching application.

load and turn on the controlling device. The power indicator LED lights indicating that power
is supplied to the module.
Problem Solving
The following table provides corrective action for possible trouble situations. If further
assistance is required, please contact a Crestron customer service representative.
CLS-EXP-DIMFLV Troubleshooting
Trouble Possible Cause(s) Corrective Action
The load does not turn on. The controlling dimmer or
switch is not working.
Make sure that the
controller is powered on.
Make sure that a
compatible dimmer is being
used.
No power is applied to the
HOT terminal.
Check the circuit breaker.
Check that the green power
LED inside the unit is lit.
The load turns on and off
but does not dim.
The controlling unit is either
not a dimmer or has been
set to non-dim.
Verify that dimmer is
compatible with the
CLS-EXP-DIMFLV. Refer
to "CLS-EXP-DIMFLV
Specications" on page 1.
Verify that the controlling
channel has not been
programmed as non-dim.
The lights do not dim
properly.
An incompatible dimmer is
being used.
Make sure that the dimmer
is one of those listed
in "CLS-EXP-DIMFLV
Specications" on page 1.
