CLW-DIM, DIMS, & SLVD(W/A/B)
Introduction
Features and Functions
The CLW-DIM (-DIM) is a stand-alone wall box dimmer
that can also act as a Cresnet
Crestron® control processor. The CLW-DIM has four
preset lighting levels that can be adjusted (refer to note
below). The CLW-DIM also includes two isolated, nonpolarized Cresnet wires (plus a ground wire) for
connecting to the Cresnet network over a twisted pair
wire with shield.
NOTE: The four preset levels are noted as Button 1High, Button 1-Low, Button Preset 2, and Button Preset
3. Preset “Button 1-High” is usually used for turning
lights on to full brightness while preset “Button 1-Low” is
usually used for turning the lights off. Although “1-High”
and “1-Low” are usually used for “On” and “Off”
respectively, the light level for each preset can be
customized by the user. Refer to “Operating Buttons and
Switches” on page 5 for more information on customizing
light levels.
The CLW-DIM features a three-position mode selection
switch. Refer to “Operating Buttons and Switches” on
page 5 for more information. In the absence of Cresnet
communications, the dimmer can still be used to control
lighting.
The CLW-DIMS (-DIMS) is similar to the -DIM with the
added capability of working with a slave unit
(CLW-SLVD) in a multi-switch / single circuit
application.
The CLW-SLVD (-SLVD) is a slave unit that when used
in conjunction with the -DIMS acts as an additional
dimmer control point in a multi-dimmer / single circuit
application. It does not connect to a Cresnet system and
cannot be used without a -DIMS. The -SLVD does not
have a mode selection switch and is not programmable. It
emulates the operation of the -DIMS to which it is
connected.
The -DIM, -DIMS, and -SLVD are available in white,
almond, and black. White units are designated by part
numbers ending in “W”. Almond units are designated by
part numbers ending in “A”. Black units are designated by
part numbers ending in “B”. Each dimmer can be covered
with a decorative faceplate (not supplied).

CLW-DIM, DIMS, & SLVD(W/A/B)
Physical Description
The -DIM and -DIMS contain three buttons (one large,
two small), a light emitting diode (LED), and a threeposition slider-switch, shown after this paragraph. The
-SLVD is similar to the -DIM and -DIMS but does not
have the slider-switch. Line voltage connections are made
at the rear of the dimmer. Three Class 2 low voltage
wires, located on the front of the switch provide a Cresnet
connection to a control system. The wires are routed to
the bottom of the unit for placement outside of the wall
box.

Important Notes
Read before installation.
• Codes: Install in accordance with all local and
national electrical codes.
Alternate wiring methods may be used for the
Class 2 wiring connection. The 2002 National
Electrical Code (Article 725-55) prohibits Class
2 conductors of the -DIM, -DIMS, and -SLVD to
occupy the same outlet box as the power
conductors. The exception is Part D of Section
725.55 of the 2002 National Electrical Code,
which allows a device’s power conductors to be
installed near (0.25 inch minimum spacing)
associated Class 2 conductors in the same outlet
box. Consult the 2002 National Electrical Code
Handbook and your local electrical inspector
before proceeding.
Do not use the supplied butt-splice connectors if
the Class 2 conductors are to be installed in the
wallbox with the power conductors. Use
