Introduction

Features and Functions

The iLux™ units, CLSI-C6 and CLSI-C6M, are wall­mounted complete integrated lighting systems that can
function as standalone devices and/or be part of a
Crestron
(Cresnet
the CLSI-C6M includes a built-in motion sensor.

CLSI-C6M with Cover Open, Shown in Almond

Each unit provides automated control of up to six
channels of lighting loads, including incandescent,
magnetic low-voltage, neon/cold cathode, and non­dimmable loads. Each unit also provides automated
control of up to six groups of shade and drape controllers
for motorized window treatments, screens, and lifts.

Front panel operation provides manual control of lighting
loads and shade groups as well as access to up to sixteen
scenes (lighting level/shade position combinations).

A built-in IR receiver allows for wireless operation using
an optional infrared remote generating standard RC5
commands; a built-in motion detector (CLSI-C6M only)
enables automated control based on room occupancy.

Up to 16 Crestron keypads (sold separately) can be used
with each unit for control of rooms that have several
entrances or work areas. Each unit also supports up to
eight additional CLSI-C6 units, enabling systems of up to
54 lighting channels and 54 shade groups.

Each unit provides control system integration through two
separate Cresnet control networks; one for local devices
and one for connection to a 2-Series control system.

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, and non-dim
lighting.

• 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 deep, minimum.

• Make certain that power is turned off, and
ensure that there is at least 12 inches of open
space above and below the electrical box
location to permit heat dissipation.

NOTE: The CLSI-C6 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.

• A 4-gang electrical box (not supplied), 3.5 inches
deep, minimum.

• Phillips torque screwdriver (not supplied)

• Four 7/8-inch 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-C6 & CLSI-C6M
iLux Lighting System Operations Guide, Doc. 6347, 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-C6M 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 CLSI-C6M unit and remove
the front panel and cover assembly by carefully
pulling out and up from the bottom edge.

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.

3. Remove the control panel overlay from the unit
(it lifts off – is held in place by small tabs) 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

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.

screw terminals should be stripped 7/16-inch,
and screws should be tightened to between 8 and
10 in.-lbs. (0.90 Newton meters to 1.13 Newton
meters). The maximum wire size is 12 AWG
(3 mm²).
