Operations Guide – DOC. 6347E iLux Integrated Lighting System: CLS-C6/C6M & CLSI-C6/C6M •2
Features and Functions
(Continued)
Six Channel Dimming
The CLS-C6 features six channels of dimming for LED*, incandescent, magnetic
low-voltage, neon/cold cathode, and two-wire dimmable fluorescent loads. On/off
switching of many non-dimmable lighting loads is also possible. Each channel
handles up to 800 watts individually, with a total rating of 1920 watts at 120 VAC
for CLS-C6/C6M (2300 watts at 230 VAC for CLSI-C6/C6M). Larger loads and
additional load types can also be supported using Crestron CLS-EXP series
expansion modules.
Six Group Shade Control
Using Crestron's networked shade and drapery controllers, the CLS-C6RF enables
versatile control of a roomful of motorized window treatments, screens and lifts in
up to six shade groups.
Energy Management
Using Crestron Green Light®technology the iLux line of integrated lighting systems
allow for the management of demand response for load shedding and room
occupancy sensing for maximum energy efficiency and cost savings.
Versatile Front Panel Controls
The deceptively clean front panel actually affords an extensive amount of control
and customization to suit each unique room application. Large ON and OFF buttons
provide instant access to the "On" and "All Off" scenes, while the six main buttons
can be set up to recall additional scene presets, adjust shades, or perform a host of
other functions. The buttons' "rocker" action enables intuitive, tactile control for
adjusting lighting levels and shade positions. An additional "Up/Down" button is
configurable for a variety of functions, including use as a master lighting or shade
control, or as a "shift" button to expand the capabilities of the six main buttons.
With each new scene selection, window shades reposition and lights fade elegantly
to their new settings. The selected scene is indicated by a white LED beside each
button, and the customizable label strip allows each button to be clearly labeled
using Crestron Engraver software or standard 3/8" tape labels. Dimming levels and
shade positions are displayed graphically on 6 green LED bargraphs accessible
behind the flip-up front cover. Additional controls and a numeric display hidden
beneath the cover enable setup without requiring a PC. Enhanced customization is
provided via the PC programming port using iLux Designer software.

Crestron CLS-C6/C6M & CLSI-C6/C6M iLux Integrated Lighting System
Operations Guide – DOC. 6347E iLux Integrated Lighting System: CLS-C6/C6M & CLSI-C6/C6M •3
Built-in Motion Detector (CLS/CLSI-C6M)
The CLS/CLSI-C6M model provides the addition of a built-in infrared motion
detector, enabling automated control based on room occupancy. Lights can be
programmed to turn on and shades open automatically when someone enters the
room, or turn off and close when the room is left empty. Remote motion detectors
are also available to expand the coverage of the CLS/CLSI-C6M, or add occupancy
sensing capability to the CLS/CLSI-C6M.
Daylight Harvesting
When used with an optional GLS-LOL photocell, the CLS-C6 is capable of reducing
energy usage by employing “daylight harvesting”. This technique allows the electric
light levels to be reduced based on the amount of natural light available in the space.
The GLS-LOL may be connected to the CLS-C6 through either a GLS-SIM or the
available input on a Cameo®“Pro” keypad. For more information, refer the latest
version of the Crestron iLux Lighting Systems Installation Guide (Doc. 6394 for
CLS-C6/C6M; Doc. 6413 for CLSI-C6/C6M), which is available from the Crestron
Web site (www.crestron.com/manuals).
IR Remote Control
The CLS-C6 units are equipped with an onboard IR receiver to allow for wireless
remote control using Crestron’s optional infrared remote control (sold separately).
Multipoint Keypad Control
Up to 16 Crestron keypads may be connected to a single CLS-C6, providing versatile
multipoint control for rooms with multiple entrances or work areas. Individual
keypad buttons can be programmed to work through the master unit or can target
specific slave units for maximum control and room management.
Touch Screen Support
The CLS-C6 can support up to two touch screens without the need of a centralized
processor. Using the iLux Designer software, add touch screens to a standalone
system with hard and soft button programming including two way zone status
feedback.
Multi-Unit Expansion
A single CLS-C6 master supports up to eight additional units, enabling systems of up
to 54 lighting zones and 54 shade groups. Scene recall, master dimming, and
occupancy status are shared between the units. Each individual unit can still support
a complete assortment of local devices including keypads, shade controllers, touch
screens, and sensors.
Room Combining Support
When the application includes divisible rooms, the CLS-C6 has advanced
room-combining features capable of supporting even the most complex layouts.
When additional CLS-C6 slave units are linked to a master CLS-C6, advanced room
combining of up to nine rooms become possible. The iLux Lighting System supports
up to 36 room partitions, allowing for all possible room combinations. Room
combining status (combined or separate) can be controlled via external partition
sensors, via keypad or touch screen buttons, or via an external command from a
Crestron control processor.

Operations Guide – DOC. 6347E iLux Integrated Lighting System: CLS-C6/C6M & CLSI-C6/C6M •4
Building Management System Integration
Crestron CLS-C6 includes BMS integration capabilities for straightforward inclusion
of building management systems as a component of managing energy demands.
Control System Integration
The CLS-C6 actually features two separate Cresnet® control networks, one for local
devices and one for connection to a 2-Series control system.
Connecting the CLS-C6 to a control system allows its functions to be controlled
from touch screens, RF wireless remotes, and even computers, supporting extensive
flexibility for remote control and integration with other devices and systems.
Additional functions such as on-the-fly room combining and activating operations
based on a real-time clock are also made possible by connecting the CLS-C6 to a
control system.
Connecting to an Ethernet-networked control system provides a gateway to larger
applications such as integration with facility-wide lighting, HVAC, security, and
remote monitoring via Crestron RoomView®Help Desk software as well as third-
party SNMP software.
RS-232 Interface via C2N-IO
The CLS-C6 can be controlled from a third party controller or a PC program via the
ASCII command set. The Crestron serial convertor module, C2N-IO (sold
separately), is used to route packets between the CLS-C6 and the third party
controller. The serial converter module translates ASCII strings to Cresnet serial
packets and Cresnet serial packets to ASCII strings.

3 Function Buttons and LEDs In Standard mode, these buttons are typically used
to select/recall scenes. In Lights mode, they are
used to make temporary adjustments to the six
lighting loads. In Shades mode they are used to
make temporary adjustments to the shade groups.
They can also be programmed to perform other
functions.
4 IR Detector The IR detector responds to commands from the
optional Crestron remote control. The remote
control can be used to recall Scenes 1 – 4, the On
and Off scenes, and perform master raise and
lower of the lighting loads.
5 Motion Detector
(CLS/CLSI-C6M only)
The built-in motion detector can be used to activate
a particular scene when there is activity in the room,
and/or to activate a particular scene (typically Off)

Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the Cresnet network, consider the following:
•Use Crestron Certified Wire.
•Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
•Provide sufficient power to the system.
CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage
to the equipment. Use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how
much power is needed for the system (www.crestron.com/calculators).
For networks with 20 or more devices, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to
maintain signal quality.
For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” on page 41.
Identity Code
The MNET ID of the SortName has been factory set to 1F. After an infiNET device
is added to an infiNET network, its MNET ID must be changed to a value that can be
addressed by the control system program (03 to 20). The MNET IDs of multiple
SortName devices on the same gateway must be unique. MNET IDs are changed
from a personal computer (PC) via Crestron Toolbox™ (refer to “Establishing
Communication” on page 31).
When setting the MNET ID, consider the following:
•The MNET ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the SIMPL
Windows or D3 Pro®/SystemBuilder™ program.
•Each network device on the same gateway must have a unique MNET ID.
For more details, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file.

front panel controls, or using the supplied iLux Designer application software, which
can be downloaded from the Crestron Web site.
Configuring via the front panel controls is not as extensive as what can be done using
the iLux Designer, but permits basic functional setup without having to use a PC.
In addition, some aspects of the CLS-C6’s operation can be modified only via certain
Crestron Toolbox console commands. (Refer to “Console Command Settings” on
page 25 for details. Refer also to “Appendix B: Console Commands” on page 54 for
details on all applicable console commands.)
NOTE: Toolbox does not distinguish between the CLS-C6/C6M and CLSI-C6/C6M
devices. All report as CLS units.
Configuring With Front Panel Controls
Temporary changes can be made to accommodate a particular circumstance, or
change scene presets and replace the originals, as described below. To make more
extensive changes in the configuration of the CLS-C6 without using the iLux
Designer software, use the "Setup Mode", as described beginning on page 12.
Temporary Changes/Adjustments
Temporary changes/adjustments to the lighting levels or shade presets can be
accomplished as discussed in “Lights Mode” on page 38 and “Shades Mode” on
page 39.
Changing Scene Presets
The CLS-C6 scene settings can be modified via the front panel controls without
having to use a PC. Changes to the lighting load levels and shade presets for one or
more scenes can be accomplished as follows:
NOTE: The iLux Designer or SIMPL Windows programs can lock a scene to
prevent it from being changed using the front panel controls. If an adjustment is
made to a scene that is, “Er” is displayed for 3 seconds. The scene remains in its
existing state.
1. In Standard mode, press the function button of the scene to be modify and
hold it for 5 seconds. (Make sure to press the center of the button so both
sides make contact.)
2. The two-digit display first counts down as the lighting loads fade to their
preset levels for that scene; it then begins flashing between Sc. and the
scene number; the Lights LED illuminate, and the Save and Cancel LEDs
flash.
3. Use the six function buttons to adjust the levels of the lighting loads for that
scene. Press the left side of the buttons to lower the lighting loads; press the
right side of the buttons to raise the lighting loads.
4. If there should be a certain lighting load to be unaffected by that scene
recall, press and hold the center of the button (so both sides make contact)
for 3 seconds. The top two and the bottom two LEDs of the associated bar

automatically utilizes Daylight
Harvesting. When this automatic
behavior is enabled, the top bar
graph LED for that load blinks.
NOTE: When editing scenes with
photocell-controlled loads, photocell
output is temporarily disabled.
When the scene is recalled,
photocell control resumes and light
levels may change. To reduce the
possibility of unintended scene
behavior caused by photocell
reaction to sunlight, edit scenes at
night.

graph lights (and the display shows- -) to indicate that the level of the
lighting load does not change when that scene is recalled.
5. To change the shade presets for that scene press the Shades button; the
Shades LED lights.
6. Use the six function buttons to adjust the levels of the shade groups for that
scene. Press the right side to raise the shades; press the left side to lower
them. While the shades are moving, press any part of the button to stop.
Note that for shades that are not “presettable,” only full open or full closed
positions can be recalled as part of a scene.
7. If there should be a certain shade group to be unaffected by that scene
recall, press and hold the center of the button (so both sides make contact)
for 3 seconds. The top two and the bottom two LEDs of the associated bar
graph lights (and the display shows --) to indicate that the level of that
shade group does not change when that scene is recalled.
8. To adjust the fade time, press the ^and vbuttons. When going up, the value
goes from 0 seconds to 59 seconds, and then 1 minute to 99 minutes. When
going down, the value goes from 99 minutes to 1 minute, and then 59
seconds to 0 seconds. The Min and Sec LEDs light as appropriate.
Adjustment to fade time can be made when either Lights mode or Shades
mode is active.
9. When all the lighting loads are at the desired level and shades are at the
desired position, press Save to save these settings as the new preset for that
scene. If a mistake is made while changing a setting, press Cancel to
discard changes and return to Standard mode before pressing Save.
10. Repeat the above procedures for all scenes that require changes.
Setup Mode
The Setup mode is used to change internal settings on the CLS-C6, including the
scene presets as discussed in the previous paragraph.
•To enter Setup mode, press and hold the Save and Cancel buttons for 5
seconds. The Cancel button LED blinks, and the first setup option (Sc)
displays, to indicate that the unit is now in Setup mode.
NOTE: While scrolling through the list of setup options, before an option
is “locked”, the Save button is not functional and its LED is off. However,
the Cancel button LED blinks - since the button can be pressed to return the
unit to Standard mode.
•If the unit is connected to a Cresnet control system, Setup mode cannot be
entered to adjust scene settings. The two-digit display indicates “Er” (error).
•When the unit is in Setup mode, the two-digit display uses a two-character
mnemonic to indicate which specific aspect of the CLS-C6 is changed. As
these are being adjusted, the display may indicate values. The following is a
list of the different Setup modes, and the corresponding mnemonic codes.

•Press the ^or vbuttons to scroll through this list of available setup options.
Once the desired setup option appears in the display, use the various buttons
on the CLS-C6 to make adjustments, as described on the following pages.
•Once any adjustment is made, Setup mode is now “locked” into that
particular option (this is indicated by lighting the period at the end of the
mnemonic). Once locked in an option, the ^and vbuttons no longer scroll
through the options; setup must be exited before choosing another option.
When the adjustments are complete, press Save to store the changes permanently,
and exit Setup mode, or press Cancel to exit Setup mode without saving the changes.
The unit reverts to Standard mode.
Scene Programming (Sc)
This setup option allows the user to adjust the scene parameters. This is another way
to accomplish scene changes as discussed in “Changing Scene Presets” on page 11.
This method also allows settings to be changed for scenes greater than scene 6.
Note that scenes can be turned off in addition to being recalled. When a scene is
turned off, only the lighting loads are turned off. If the scene contains any shades,
they are not affected. The fade time for turning the scene lights off is the same as for
recalling the scene. Therefore, no additional parameters need to be set to define the
off behavior.
Select the scene to be changed using the Up/Down button. While cycling through the
list of scenes, the lights and shades do not change, and the bar graphs are off.
Set the lighting loads and shade positions for the scenes as discussed in “Changing
Scene Presets” on page 11. As the scenes are set, note the following:
•When a lighting load reaches the HE (high end) limit, the lights stops. The
two-digit display continues to rise. If lights reach the LE (low end) limit, the
two-digit display continues to go down, but lights stay at the LE limit until
they reach Off—at which point they turn off. If the scene setting is saved
while the display is at a level below the LE limit, or above the HE limit, the

displayed value is be saved, but the light level is limited to the programmed
limits.
•If a lighting load is defined as an “unused” load type, the bar graph for that
lighting load has all LEDs off. If the lighting load is adjusted, the two-digit
display shows “Er.”
•To mark a lighting load as "not affected" (i.e., the lighting load’s current
state is not be changed by recalling the scene), press and hold the center of
the corresponding button for 3 seconds. Adjustments made to such lighting
loads cancel the “not affected” condition and start adjusting from the
current light level.
•While adjustments are being made to the lights or shades, the two-digit
display shows the level, just like in Manual mode. The level for loads that
are not affected are shown as “—.” In Manual mode, the display goes blank
after 3 seconds; in this mode, it returns to the “Sc. ##” display.
•For SDC (or SDC-DC) shades, when the left or right side of the button is
pressed, the two-digit display immediately shows full open or full closed as
soon as the shade starts moving, and the preset is set to this full open or
closed position even if the shade is stopped before reaching the full open or
full close position.
•The iLux Designer or SIMPL programs can lock a scene to prevent it from
being changed using the front panel controls. If the selected scene is
“locked” in the configuration, when an adjustment is made, “Er” is
displayed for 3 seconds, and the scene remains in its existing state.
•To adjust the fade time, while “Sc. ##” is displayed, press the ^and v
buttons to adjust the time. The first time a button is pressed, current fade
time is shown, but not changed. Subsequent presses change the displayed
value. Adjustment to fade time can be made when either Lights mode or
Shades mode is active.
When increasing the time, the value goes from 0 seconds to 59 seconds, and
then 1 minute to 99 minutes. When decreasing the tiem, the value goes from
99 minutes to 1 minute, and then 59 seconds to 0 seconds.
•To save or cancel levels, press the Save button to save the new values and
return to Standard mode. Press the Cancel button to return to Standard
mode without saving – previously saved scene parameters are remembered.
Setup Lighting Load Types (Ld)
To set the load types for each lighting load, first enter Setup mode and scroll to the
“Ld” option. The bar graphs immediately indicate the currently selected load type for
each lighting load. Use the function buttons to change the load type, each load type
indicated by a pattern of bar graph segments and a number on the two-digit display,
as shown in the following table. Press the right and left side of the buttons to cycle
through the available load types.

1. Whether going on or off, this load type switches at the start of the fade.
2. If going off, this load type switches at the start of the fade; if going on, it switches at the end.
•When changing the load type using the rocker buttons, the two-digit display
changes to reflect the current load type. It shows “L#.” where # is the
number from the table above. Whenever the two-digit display is showing a
load type, the corresponding front panel LED is lit.
•During adjustment of this value, the lights do not change. If setup is exited
without pressing the Save button, the original values are be retained. When
the Save button is pressed, Setup mode is exited, the new values are saved,
and the lights are updated to reflect the new curve type.
If the load type was changed, the LE and HE limits are automatically changed to the
default value for the new load type, listed in the above table.
Setup Low-End Levels (LE)
Some lights can flicker at very low levels. To avoid this, specify the low-end limit
accordingly. When adjusting lights to a level below this value, they stay at the low-
end limit until they are turned off. To set the low-end levels for the six lighting loads:
•First enter Setup mode and scroll to the “LE” option (using the ^and v
buttons). At this point the lights do not change, but the bar graphs should
immediately indicate the low-end levels for each lighting load. (In most
cases this is 0%, which is indicated by all bar graph segments being off.) To
set the low-end level, use the rocker button corresponding to that lighting
load to adjust the level up or down. When the first adjustment is made, the
light being adjusted jumps to the current low-end level, and start adjusting
from there.
•The low-end level cannot be adjusted above 33%.
NOTE: For non-dim and “unused” lighting loads, the low-end level cannot
be adjusted (always at 0%). If adjusting this, the light and the bar graph
does not change and the two-digit display shows “Er.” to indicate an error.
If setup is exited without pressing the Save button, the original values are retained.
For lighting loads where adjustment has been made, lights jump to the original low-
end level. Light levels are not changed on lighting loads where no adjustment was
made. When the Save button is pressed, Setupmode is exited, the new values are
saved, and the lights do not change.

Setup High-End Levels (HE)
This option allows setting of the “full on” level of the lighting loads below their
maximum brightness. To set the high-end levels for the six lighting loads:
•Enter Setup mode and scroll to the “HE” option (using the ^and vbuttons).
At this point the lights do not change, but the bar graphs immediately
indicate the high-end levels for each lighting load. (In most cases this is
100%, which is indicated by all bar graph segments being on.)
•To set the high-end level, use the rocker button corresponding to that
lighting load to adjust it up or down. When the first adjustment is made, the
light being adjusted jumps to the current high-end level, and start adjusting
from there. As adjustments are made, the current light level for the lighting
load being adjusted should appear in the bar graph and the two-digit
display.
•The high-end level cannot be adjusted below 67%.
NOTE: For non-dim and “unused” lighting loads, the high-end level cannot
be adjusted (always at 100%). If adjusting this, the light and bar graph do
not change, and the two-digit display shows “Er” to indicate an error.
If setup is exited without pressing the Save button, the original values are retained.
For lighting loads where adjustment has been made, lights jump to the original high-
end level. Light levels are not change on lighting loads where no adjustment was
made. When the Save button is pressed, Setup mode is exited, the new values are
saved, and the lights do not change.
Setup Button Functions (bF)
This Setupmode is used to define the behavior of the buttons on the CLS-C6 unit
itself, and on remote keypads if operation is desired other than the default. (Remote
keypads must be ID’d, using auto-discovery, prior to this, which sets them to their
default functions.) To enter this mode:
•First enter Setup mode and scroll to the “bF” option (using the ^and v
buttons). Then use the up/down button to scroll through the available button
functions and values. This scrolls through all values for each function
before proceeding to the next function.
•Press and hold the button to auto repeat. During auto-repeating, when it
reaches the minimum or maximum value for that function, it stops. The next
button push then increments/decrements to the next function.
Available functions and values are as shown in the following table. (Other
functions require a PC with iLux Designer software to configure them.)
