iLux™ Lighting System Crestron CLS/CLSI-C6 & CLS/CLSI-C6M
Six Group Shade Control
Using Crestron’s networked shade and drape controllers (sold separately), the
CLS-C6 enables versatile control of a roomful of motorized window treatments,
screens, and lifts in up to six shade groups. Each controller is connected to the
CLS-C6 via the four-wire Cresnet bus.
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 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. Dimming levels and shade positions are displayed
graphically on six 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.
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-C6 units.
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 (sold separately) may be connected to a single CLS-C6,
providing versatile multipoint control for rooms with several entrances or work
areas.
Multi-Unit Expansion
A single CLS-C6 master will support up to eight additional CLS-C6s, enabling
systems of up to 54 lighting channels and 54 shade gro up s. Scene recal l , ma ster
dimming, and occupancy status are shared between all the CLS-C6 units. Each
individual unit can still support a complete assortment of local devices including
keypads, shade controllers, and sensors.

Crestron CLS/CLSI-C6 & CLS/CLSI-C6M iLux™ Lighting System
Setup
As stated earlier, the CLS-C6 features two separate Cresnet control networks: one for
local devices and one for connection to a 2-Series control system. When connected
to a control system, the CLS-C6 acts as a standard Cresnet slave device. When local
devices are connected to it, the CLS-C6 acts as the Cresnet Master (Net ID 02). In
some configurations, the unit serves a dual role. (Refer to the configuration examples
included in “Identity Code” below for more details.)
The following wiring information applies to a 2-Series control system network. The
CONTROL SYSTEM port of the CLS-C6 may be connected to this network.
Network Wiring
When wiring the 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 unpredictabl e resul t s or damage
to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate
how much power is needed for the system
(http://www.crestron.com/calculators
).
• For larger networ ks, Use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain
signal quality.
For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” on page 37.
Identity Code
The Net ID of the CLS-C6 has been factory set to 1F. The Net IDs of multiple
CLS-C6 devices in the same system must be unique. Net IDs are changed from a
personal computer (PC) via the Crestron Toolbox™ or iLux Designer software
programs. When setting the Net ID, consider the following:
• The Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the SIMPL
Windows program.
• Each network device must have a unique Net ID.
For more details, refer to the Crestron Toolbox or iLux Designer help files.
Installation
Detailed installation procedures are provided in the latest version of the Crestron
iLux Lighting Systems Installation Guide (Doc. 6394 for CLS-C6/C6M; Doc. 6413
for CLSI-C6/C6M).
The figure on the following page illustrates five installation configurations and
includes brief descriptions of the rationale b ehi n d each on e.
NOTE: The power usage requirements on the local devices network is different
from that described above. The CLS-C6 provides 24VDC power for up to four
keypads and/or shade controllers on the local devices network. An additional power
supply is required to support more than four devices. Also, each C2N-SDC-DC
shade controller requires its own additional power supply.
Crestron CLS/CLSI-C6 & CLS/CLSI-C6M iLux™ Lighting System
Hardware Hookup
Refer to the following diagram for connection of the AC wiring. 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 all ground wires to the
(ground) terminal on the unit. For details, refer to the iLux Lighting System
Installation Guide, Doc. 6394 for CLS-C6/C6M units, and Doc. 6413, for CLSIC6/C6M units.
Adding External Power Supplies
Additional power supplies are required to support more than four keypads or shade
controllers on the local devices network. Also, each C2N-SDC-DC shade controller
requires its own additional power supply. The following diagram illustrates a
scenario where an external power supply is required to add keypads and shade
controllers to a network that already contains four shade controllers. The actual
quantity of external power supplies required depends on your system configuration.

Configuring the CLS-C6
The overall configuration of the CLS-C6 can be accomplished in two ways: using the
front panel controls, or using the supplied iLux
which can be downloaded from the Crestron website.
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
Crestron Toolbox console commands. (Refer to “Console Command Settings” on
page 23 for details. Refer also to “Appendix B: Console Commands” on page 41 for
details on all applicable console commands.)
NOTE: Toolbox does not distinguish between the CLS-C6 and CLSI-C6 devices.

Configuring With Front Panel Controls
You can make temporary changes 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 13.
Temporary Changes/Adjustments
Temporary changes/adjustments to the lighting levels or shade presets can be
accomplished as discussed in “Lights Mode” on page 34 and “Shades Mode” on
page 35.
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 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 you try to make any adjustment, “Er” will display for three
seconds, and the scene will remain in its existing state.
1. In Standard mode, press the function button of the scene you wish to
modify and hold it for five seconds. (Make sure you press the center of the
button so both sides make contact.)
2. The two-digit display will first count down as the lighting loads fade to their
preset levels for that scene; it will then begin flashing between Sc. and the
scene number; the Lights LED will be lit, and the Save and Cancel LEDs
will 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.
Crestron CLS/CLSI-C6 & CLS/CLSI-C6M iLux™ Lighting System
4. If you would like 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 three seconds. The top two and the bottom two LEDs of the associated
bargraph will be lit (and the display will show - -) to indicate that the level
of the lighting load will not change when that scene is recalled.
5. To change the shade presets for that scene press the Shades button; the
Shades LED will be lit.
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 you would like a certain shade group to be unaffected by that scene recall,
press and hold the center of the button (so both side make contact) for three
seconds. The top two and the bottom two LEDs of the associated bargraph
will be lit (and the display will show - - ) to indicate that the level of that
shade group will not change when that scene is recalled.
8. To adjust the fade time, press the ^ and v buttons. When go i ng u p, t he value
will go from 0 seconds to 59 seconds, and then 1 minute to 99 minutes.
When going down, the value will go 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 you make a mistake 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
seconds. The Cancel button LED will blink, and the first setup option (Sc) will
be displayed, to indicate that the unit is now in Setup mode.
Note that 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 will blink - since the button can be pressed to return the unit
to Standard mode.
• If the unit is connected to a Cresnet control system and you are in the process of
adjusting scene settings, you cannot enter Setup mode. If you try, the two-digit
display will indicate “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 you are changing. 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 v buttons to scroll through this list of available setup options.
Once the desired setup option appears in the display, use the various but t o ns o n
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 v buttons will no longer scroll through the
options; you must exit setup before you can choose 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 12.
This method also allows you to change the settings for scenes greater than scene 6.
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. As you cycle through the
list of scenes, the lights and shades will not change, and the bargraphs will be off.
Set the lighting loads and shade positions for the scenes as discussed in “Cha nging
Scene Presets” on page 12. As you set the scenes, note the following:
• When a lighting load reaches the HE (high end) limit, the lights will stop. The
two-digit display will continue to rise. If lights reach the LE (low end) limit, the
two-digit display will continue to go down, but lights will stay at the LE limit
until they reach Off—at which point they will turn off. If you save the scene
setting while the display is at a level below the LE limit, or above the HE limit,
the displayed value will be saved, but the light level will be limited to the
programmed limits.
• If a lighting load is defined as an “unused” load type, the bargraph for that
lighting load will have all LEDs off. If you try to adjust that lighting lo ad, the
two-digit display will show “Er”.
