Setup
Identity Code
The MNET ID of the CLF-DIMRFB has been factory set to 01. 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 CLF-DIMRFB devices in the
same system must be unique. MNET IDs are changed from a personal
computer (PC) via the Crestron Toolbox. 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
• Each network device must have a unique MNET ID.
For more details, refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file.

Operation
The CLF-DIMRFB may be warm to the touch during operation. This is
normal.
Mode Selection Switch
These dimmers use a three-position mode selection switch to set the
mode of operation.
OFF
When the mode selection switch is in the “OFF” position, the foot switch
will not have any function and the load is disconnected from the power
source. This must be used when changing light bulbs to ensure that the
load is fully disconnected from power.
RUN
When the mode selection switch is in the “RUN” position, it is operating
in the RUN mode. This is the normal operating mode of the dimmer. The
RUN mode is used to recall the preset light level. Refer to the following
table for a list of available functions when the dimmer is operating in the
RUN mode.
NOTE: To enter RUN mode, move mode selection switch to the “RUN”
position, without pausing at the “SET” position.

Special Functions
Enter ACQUIRE Mode
Before an infiNET device can be used on an infiNET network, it must
first be acquired by a C2N-MNETGW gateway that is connected to a
Cresnet network.
NOTE: A dimmer can be acquired by only one gateway.
To acquire a CLF-DIMRFB by a C2N-MNETGW, perform the
following:
1. Put the C2N-MNETGW in the ACQUIRE mode, from the unit
itself or from Toolbox, as described in the latest revision of the
C2N-MNETGW guide (Doc. 6317) which is available from the
Crestron website.
NOTE: In environments where multiple gateways are installed, only
one gateway should be in ACQUIRE mode at a time.
2. Place the CLF-DIMRFB in the ACQUIRE mode by doing the
following:
a. Move the mode selection switch to the “OFF” position.
b. Press and hold the foot switch, while sliding the mode
switch to the “RUN” position.
c. Continue holding the foot switch until you see the LED
blink once. Now release the foot switch; the unit is now in
ACQUIRE mode.
NOTE: ACQUIRE mode does not actually start until the foot
switch is released.
After approximately 10 seconds, the LED will start to blink slowly
and the dimmer will attempt to acquire with a C2N-MNETGW that
is in the ACQUIRE mode. The device is acquired then the LED
stops blinking. Acquiring can take up to five minutes to complete.
After being acquired, the device will exit the ACQUIRE mode.
3. Take the C2N-MNETGW out of the ACQUIRE mode once all
devices have been acquired. Refer to the latest revision of the
C2N-MNETGW guide (Doc. 6317).
To communicate with the control system program, an MNET ID
value between 03 and 20 must be assigned to the dimmer. Refer to
“Identity Code” on page 6.
Release Gateway Connection
In some cases, it might be desirable to release a dimmer from a gateway.
If a dimmer is to be released from a gateway, the gateway information
must be cleared from the dimmer’s memory.
To clear a dimmer’s gateway information:
1. Move the mode selection switch to the “OFF” position.
2. Press and hold the foot switch on the CLF-DIMRFB, while sliding
the mode selection switch to the “RUN” position.
3. Hold the foot switch for approximately 10 seconds until the LED
flashes twice. Release the foot switch at this point and the gateway
connection will have been removed.
A dimmer can also be released from a gateway using Toolbox. Refer to
the latest revision of the C2N-MNETGW guide (Doc. 6317) for
instructions.
Restore Default Settings
To restore the dimmer’s default settings, press and hold the foot switch
while the unit is in the RUN mode. Then, while still holding the foot
switch, move the mode selection switch to the “SET” position and back
to the “RUN” position. Release the foot switch.

Bootloader
In rare cases, it may be necessary to bypass the dimmer’s standard
firmware and enter into the “bootloader”. This might be necessary if the
unit was loaded with a faulty version of firmware that might prevent
future firmware upgrades.
To enter the bootloader, set the mode selection switch to “OFF”. Press
and hold the foot switch while setting the mode selection switch to
“RUN”. The LED will blink once after five seconds to indicate the start
of Acquire mode (Acquire mode does not actually start until you release
the foot switch). Continue holding the foot switch for another five
seconds and the LED will flash twice to indicate that the gateway
connection will be released on the release of the foot switch. Continue
holding the foot switch an additional ten seconds (twenty seconds in all)
until the LED flashes three times. Then, release the foot switch. The unit
is now running the bootloader. New firmware can now be uploaded from
the Crestron Toolbox.
To exit the bootloader and restore the firmware that is currently installed,
cycle power to the device by setting the mode selection switch to “OFF”
and back to “RUN” or “SET”.
