Control Wiring (Section B)
The bottom of the cabinet contains Cresnet®connections for interfacing to the rest of the Crestron®control system.
It also provides overrides input which can be tied to devices such as the GLS-PLS-120/277 phase-loss sensor, or
other devices that provide a dry contact closure (manual switch, fire alarm relay, etc.).
To ensure optimum performance over the full range of your installation topology, use Crestron certified wire.
Failure to do so may incur additional charges if support is required to identify performance deficiencies because of
using improper wire.
NOTE: Interface connectors for NET (x2), and OVERRIDE (x3) ports are provided.

NET Port Wiring
When wiring the supplied NET connectors for connection to a Crestron control system or other device on the
Cresnet network, use Crestron certified wire such as CRESNET-NP or CRESNET-P. For instructions on
network wiring, refer to “Appendix C: Network Wiring” on page 18.
When daisy-chaining connections between NET ports, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the
conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector, insert the connection
into the Cresnet connector, tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.
OVERRIDE Port Wiring
When a connection is applied between the override terminals, the modules will enter Override mode. The
Crestron GLS-PLS-120/277 phase-loss sensor or any device that provides a dry contact closure can be
connected to the supplied OVERRIDE connector on the bottom of the cabinet.
Mechanical Override
1. Locate the mechanical override rocker switch labeled STATUS on the top of the relay.

NOTE: The control system program may change the settings if the Override mode is not enabled.
Override Mode
The Override mode overrides the control system program and sets all of the output states to the stored override
values. For instructions on saving override settings, refer to “Save Override Settings” below.
To enable Override mode, press and release the OVR button. The OVR LED flashes slowly.
NOTE: If the Override mode was enabled from an external device (i.e. a contact closure is present on the
OVERRIDE terminals), the OVR LED will flash quickly. Pressing the OVR button has no effect.
To disable Override mode, press the OVR button again. The OVR LED extinguishes and the outputs return to the
states set by the control system program.
NOTE: If override states have not been stored, the factory default override state is all loads on.
Save Override Settings
The state of each output can be saved as an override setting, which can be automatically recalled when the Override
mode is enabled.
NOTE: The control system program has a setting that can prevent locally saving the override state. If this setting is
enabled, the display shows “Er” when trying to save override states. For more information, refer to the SIMPL
Windows help file.
To save the states of all outputs as the override setting, press and hold the OVR button for three seconds until the
OVR LED blinks once.
System Operation and Commissioning
This cabinet has been designed as a component of a programmed Crestron system. System commissioning by an
authorized Crestron representative must be performed to ensure system operation.
Once the cabinet has been wired and the modules have been tested, contact Crestron at 1-888-CRESTRON
[1-888-273-7876] to schedule commissioning.

Appendix A: Setting Module Net IDs
The following procedure will normally be performed by an authorized Crestron representative as part of the System
Commissioning phase. For system wiring and basic testing as described on pages 7 and 14, it is not necessary to
perform this step. Only perform this step if instructed by an authorized Crestron representative, or when replacing
modules on a system that have already been commissioned (in the latter case the Net ID should be set to match the
Net ID of the module being replaced).
The Net ID of each module in the cabinet can be changed from the front panel of each module. The Net IDs of each
module in the system must be unique.
To set the Net ID using the front panel:
1. Press the recessed SETUP button to enter the Setup mode. The SETUP LED illuminates.
2. As shown in the following diagram, press the left button under the NET ID display to change the left digit
of the Net ID or press the right button under the NET ID display to change the right digit of the Net ID
number.

Appendix C: Network Wiring
Check Network Wiring
Use the Right Wire
In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire
and only Crestron Certified Wire may be used. Failure to do so may incur additional charges if support is required to
identify performance deficiencies because of using improper wire.
Calculate Power
CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Failure to do so could cause equipment
damage or void the Crestron warranty.
CAUTION: Provide sufficient power to the system. Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage
to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the
system (www.crestron.com/calculators).
When calculating the length of wire for a particular Cresnet run, the wire gauge and the Cresnet power usage of each
network unit to be connected must be taken into consideration. Use Crestron Certified Wire only. If Cresnet units
are to be daisy-chained on the run, the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be daisy-chained must be added
together to determine the Cresnet power usage of the entire chain. If the unit is home-run from a Crestron system
power supply network port, the Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire run. The
wire gauge and the Cresnet power usage of the run should be used in the following equation to calculate the cable
length value on the equation’s left side.
Cable Length Equation
L = Length of run (or chain) in feet
R = 6 Ohms (Crestron Certified Wire: 18 AWG (0.75 MM ))
or 1.6 Ohms (Cresnet HP: 12 AWG (4 MM ))
P = Cresnet power usage of entire run (or chain)
2
2
L < 40,000
R x P
Where:
Make sure the cable length value is less than the value calculated on the right side of the equation. For example, a
Cresnet run using 18 AWG Crestron Certified Wire and drawing 20 watts should not have a length of run more than
333 feet (101 meters). If Cresnet HP is used for the same run, its length could extend to 1250 feet (381 meters).
NOTE: All Crestron certified Cresnet wiring must consist of two twisted pairs. One twisted pair is the +24V
conductor and the GND conductor and the other twisted pair is the Y conductor and the Z conductor.
Strip and Tin Wire
When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist
together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder
only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle. Insert the tinned
connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three
conductors.
Add Hubs
Use of a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) is advised whenever the number of Cresnet devices on a network
exceeds 20 or when the combined total length of Cresnet cable exceeds 3000 feet (914 meters).
