Introduction

Features and Functions

The iLux® units, CLS-C6RF and CLS-C6MRF, are
wall-mounted complete integrated lighting systems that can
function as standalone devices and/or be part of a Crestron®
solution total control system network (Cresnet®). The units
are functionally identical except that the CLS-C6MRF
includes a built-in motion sensor.

Regulatory Compliance

This product is Listed to applicable UL Standards and
requirements by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.

NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

Important Notes

Read before installation.

• Codes: Install in accordance with all local and
national electrical codes.

• Wiring: Use copper wire only. For supply
connections, use wires rated for at least 75° C.

• Lighting Load Types: incandescent, magnetic
low voltage, neon/cold cathode, dimmable
2-wire fluorescent, and non-dim lighting
(also: electronic low voltage, 3-wire and 4-wire
fluorescent, and 277V via expansion modules;
sold separately).

• Temperature: The iLux units are designed for use
where temperatures are between 32° to 104° F
(0° to 40° C).

• Wallboxes: The iLux units mount in standard
4-gang wallboxes; 3.5 inches (89 mm) deep,
minimum.

• Make certain that power is turned off, and
ensure that there is at least 4.5 inches (115 mm) of
open space above and below the electrical box
location to permit heat dissipation.

Installation

WARNING: Turn off power at the distribution panel
circuit breaker. Installing with power on can result in
serious personal injury and damage to the device.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of overheating and possible
damage to other equipment, do not install to control a
receptacle or a motor-operated appliance.

NOTE: The CLS-C6RF units require a neutral wire for
operation. If no neutral is present, contact a licensed
electrician for installation.

The following tools/hardware are required for installation.

• An electrical wallbox, 3.5 inches (89 mm) deep,
minimum (not supplied).

• Phillips torque screwdriver (not supplied)

• Four 7/8-inch (22 mm) pan head Phillips screws

(supplied)

If the planned configuration includes connection to shade
controllers, keypads, and/or a Crestron 2-Series control
system, the following items are also required. Refer to the
latest version of the Crestron CLSI-C6RF iLux Integrated
Lighting System w/infiNET Operations Guide (Doc. 6418),
for detailed configuration options.

• Cresnet network cable(s) (not supplied)

• Terminal block connector(s) (two supplied)

Check that any required Cresnet wiring has been installed
and verified. Then, use the following procedure to install
the iLux unit (CLSI-C6MRF is shown in the illustrations).

1. Feed the wires (power line from the distribution
panel, load wires, plus any required Cresnet
cables) through the holes in the wallbox. Then
install the box in the wall.

2. Hold the rear of the CLS-C6MRF unit and remove
the front panel and cover assembly by carefully
pulling out and up from the bottom edge.

3. Remove the control panel overlay from the unit (it
is held in place by small tabs and lifts off) to
reveal the upper mounting screw holes.

4. Refer to the following diagram for connection of
the AC wiring. All wires to be inserted in the
screw terminals should be stripped 7/16-inch
(11 mm), and screws should be tightened to
between 8 to 10 in.-lbs (0.90 to 1.13 Newton
meters). The maximum wire size is 12 AWG
(4.00 mm

5. Connect each load wire to the corresponding
LOAD terminals on the unit, connect the power
line hot wire from the circuit breaker to the HOT
terminal on the unit, connect all neutral wires to
the NEUTRAL terminal on the unit, and connect
