Introduction

Features and Functions

The CLW-DIM1RF (-DIM1RF) one-button dimmer and CLW-DIM4RF (-DIM4RF) four-button dimmer are stand-alone wall box dimmers that can also act as wireless infiNET™ devices that report to a Crestron® control processor via a Crestron infiNET wireless gateway.

The -DIM1RF and -DIM4RF have three preset lighting levels that can be adjusted by the user. The default preset values are 70% for Preset 1, 100% for Preset 2, and 0% for Preset 3. Refer to “Operation” on page 9 for more information on using the dimmer.
These infiNET dimmers are a part of Crestron’s line of lighting products using infiNET mesh network technology. infiNET technology is “Wi-Fi” friendly and provides fault tolerance and increased effective signal strength as network devices are added.
erate as a local load control or infiNET keypad.
As an infiNET device, these dimmers communicate with a Crestron control system via a C2N-MNETGW infiNET Gateway. Up to 30 infiNET devices (including

infiNET™ Dimmers Crestron CLW-DIM1/4RF, -DIMS1/4RF, -SLVD1RF
C2N-MNETRPT infiNET Repeaters) can communicate with one C2N-MNETGW infiNET Gateway and, if more devices are needed, more C2N-MNETGW gateways may be added to a Cresnet® network.
Crestron infiNET dimmers operate on the 2.4 GHz “ISM band” (2400 MHz to
2483.6 MHz) at 10 mW. The output power of these devices allow RF signals to travel approximately 150 feet indoors and 250 feet outdoors (subject to site-specific conditions) without the use of repeaters or other infiNET devices. The range is dependent on construction of the building, obstructions, and RF interference from other devices. The location of the dimmer is an important factor in determining RF performance. Adding more infiNET devices or repeaters to the network effectively increases the range, strength, and reliability of the network.
The -DIM1RF and -DIM4RF feature a three-position mode selection switch. Refer to “Operation” on page 9 for more information. In the absence of control system communications, the dimmer can still be used to control the attached load.
The CLW-DIMS1RF (-DIMS1RF) and CLW-DIMS4RF (-DIMS4RF) are similar to the -DIM1RF and -DIM4RF (respectively) with the added capability of working with one or more slave units (CLW-SLVD1RF) in a multi-dimmer / single circuit application. For more information, refer to the latest version of the infiNET Dimmers Installation Guide (Doc. 6292) which is available from the Crestron website (www.crestron.com/manuals).
The CLW-SLVD1RF (-SLVD1RF) is a slave unit that when used in conjunction with the -DIMS1RF or -DIMS4RF acts as an additional dimmer control point in a multi-dimmer / single circuit application. It does not connect to an infiNET system and cannot be used without a -DIMS1RF or -DIMS4RF. The -SLVD1RF does not have a mode selection switch. It can only be programmed when used in conjunction with a -DIMS4RF (refer to “Attaching and Detaching the Electrical Load” on page
27). Otherwise, it will emulate the RUN mode of the -DIMS1RF (even if connected to a -DIMS4RF) unless the mode selection switch of the master is set to “OFF”.
These dimmers can be ordered with custom engraved buttons already installed by Crestron. Engraved buttons cannot be installed or changed in the field. Contact Crestron for more information.
These dimmers 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).
For installation instructions, refer to the latest version of the infiNET Dimmers Installation Guide (Doc. 6292), which is available from the Crestron website.

Acquiring the Dimmer on the infiNET Network

Before an infiNET device can be used on an infiNET network, it must first be acquired to a C2N-MNETGW gateway that is connected to a Cresnet network.
NOTE: The -DIM1RF, -DIM4RF, -DIMS1RF, and -DIMS4RF can also work as stand-alone wall box dimmers without being acquired by a C2N-MNETGW.
NOTE: A dimmer can be acquired to only one gateway.

Acquiring the Dimmer

To acquire a -DIM1RF/-DIM4RF/-DIMS1RF/-DIMS4RF to 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 Operations Guide (Doc. 6137) which is available from the Crestron website.
NOTE: In an environment where multiple gateways are installed, only one gateway should be in the Acquire mode at a time.
2. Place the -DIM1RF/-DIM4RF/-DIMS1RF/-DIMS4RF into the Acquire
mode by doing the following:
a. Move the mode selection switch (located under the LED) to the
“OFF” position.
b. Press and hold the top or bottom of the button on the -DIM1RF/
-DIMS1RF or any button on the -DIM4RF/-DIMS4RF.
c. While holding the button, slide the mode selection switch to the
“RUN” position.
d. Hold the button for approximately five seconds until the LED
flashes HIGH once. Immediately release the button after the LED blinks to start the dimmer’s Acquire mode.

infiNET™ Dimmers Crestron CLW-DIM1/4RF, -DIMS1/4RF, -SLVD1RF
NOTE: The LED can flash HIGH or LOW. Refer to “LED Behavior” on page 11 for more information.
NOTE: Holding the button for a significant time after the first flash may enter other modes. If this is not desired, return the mode selection switch to the “OFF” position without releasing the button and repeat step 2.
After approximately ten 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 when the LED stops blinking and lights at the LOW setting. After being acquired, the device will exit the Acquire mode.
The dimmer will be acquired on the C2N-MNETGW with an MNET ID value of 01.
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 Operations Guide (Doc. 6137), which is available from the Crestron website.
To communicate with the control system program, an MNET ID value between 03 and 20 must be assigned to the dimmer. For information on assigning MNET ID values, refer to “Identity Code” on page 12.

Removing Gateway Information from a Dimmer

In some rare 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 dimmers gateway information:
1. Move the mode selection switch (located under the LED) to the “OFF”
position.
2. Press and hold the top or bottom of the button on the -DIM1RF/-DIMS1RF
or any button on the -DIM4RF/-DIMS4RF.
3. While holding the button, slide the mode selection switch to the “RUN”
position.
4. Hold the button for approximately ten seconds until the LED flashes twice.
Immediately release the button after the LED flashes twice to clear the dimmers gateway information. Reacquire the dimmer if desired.
A dimmer can also be released from a gateway using Toolbox. Refer to the latest revision of the C2N-MNETGW Operations Guide (Doc. 6137) for instructions.

Operation

During operation, the device 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 pushbutton(s) 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. Slave devices that are connected to the dimmer will not have any function when the Master’s mode selection switch is in the “OFF” position.
RUN
When the dimmer 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 preset light levels and to manually raise and lower the lights.
Refer to the following table for a list of available functions when the dimmer is operating in the RUN mode.
NOTE: If the behavior of the -DIM4RF/-DIMS4RF has not been changed in SIMPL™ Windows®, SystemBuilder™ or D3 Pro™, the only button that will perform any function is Button 1. All of the other buttons are programmable.
