iLux Integrated Lighting System:
CLS-C6/C6M & CLSI-C6/C6M
Introduction
The CLS/CLSI-C6 and CLS/CLSI-C6M iLux®units are complete, integrated
wall-mounted lighting systems that can function as standalone devices or as part of a
Crestron®solution total control system network. The units are intended for
installation in boardrooms, auditoriums, home theaters, or anywhere versatile and
cost-effective control of lighting and shades is required. The CLS-C6 and CLS-C6M
are designed for 120 VAC installations; the CLSI-C6 and CLSI-C6M are designed
for 230 VAC installations. All units are functionally identical, except that the
CLS/CLSI-C6M units include a built-in motion sensor. For simplicity in this guide,
the term "CLS-C6" is used except where noted.

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.

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.
