Introduction

This guide is designed to educate you on lighting system design using the wide range of products found in the Crestron Green Light is built on 40 years of expertise, vision, and innovation. From the very first touchpanel to the first Ethernet-based control system, Crestron has defined “integration.” Focused on bringing to market new and advanced solutions for making life easier and greener, Crestron is continuing to engineer the future of intelligent

Through our industry experience, we understand the value of scalability. We know that the needs (and budgets) of today may be different tomorrow. Green Light solutions are uniquely designed to grow over time while constantly providing a reliable and consistent user experience. Solutions for the room can expand to fulfill the needs of the entire building; a building may grow into a worldwide enterprise. Crestron delivers solutions for venues and projects of all sizes.

building technology.

family. Crestron Green Light

Product scalability is crucial, but hardware is only as good as the software that drives it. Crestron software tools are designed to integrate all areas of the system to do anything you want them to do. Lights in a boardroom originally designed to function locally can now hook into the room’s AV system for an integrated solution, so when the source is switched to Blu-ray, the lights automatically dim. Similarly, electric shades that were only intended to lower during AV presentations can now be integrated to intelligently lower based on the angle of the sun and lumen level. This data is shared with Crestron RoomView global enterprise for energy tracking, monitoring, control and maintenance.

With Crestron, everything can be integrated and intelligently managed. This is the power of Crestron: a solution that evolves with you. Welcome to Crestron—the only solution solving the challenges of today and tomorrow.

Totally Integrated Building Control

Imagine having total control over all building technology, across any number of locations, from a single easy to use interface. Only Crestron makes it possible. With everything combined into one Crestron system, managing enterprise locations is easier than ever before. With Viridian software, monitoring, tracking, and controlling resources is simply a click or touch away.

Modern commercial buildings are increasingly complex. Lighting, AV, HVAC, security, and other systems are all necessary in today’s office. Crestron control processors easily interface with these systems. Lighting and AV systems are available directly from Crestron. Other building technology, such as HVAC or security, is easily connected through a GLA-BMS or by directly connecting to a Crestron control processor.

The graphic below depicts how Crestron can control a commercial building. Individual rooms have different solutions to their differing needs, but all are connected via the Crestron control system. Blue circles represent pieces available directly from Crestron. White circles are pieces provided by a third party (such as a television or light fixture).

Crestron Commercial Lighting Design Guide

Specifying Crestron Lighting Systems

This lighting design guide will help you choose the proper Crestron products for your application. A typical lighting system has at least a lighting control module or cabinet, a processor, and a user interface. Follow these basic steps when navigating through this guide:

1. Survey all controlled lights and loads

Gather information on wattage, voltage, and fixture type. Specify each load as dimmed or switched, normal or emergency, and central or local control.

2. Choose one or more lighting systems

Use the Product Families section to help you choose. Designate each load to a lighting system. Make sure not to exceed the maximum load rating for each lighting system.

3. Choose one or more control processors

Use the Processors section. Room Solutions products can work without a processor, but may have limited expansion without one.

4. Choose one or more user interfaces

5. Add in sensors, shades, and accessories for a more powerful system

Crestron’s Green Light Designer program can help with the design process. Currently, it supports Architectural Dimming, Power Switching, and iLux systems. For more information see the Green Light Designer Software section.

For iLux

and wall box dimmers and switches, a separate user interface is not necessary, but recommended.

Specifying Crestron Lighting Systems

Cresnet and Ethernet

Throughout the design process, it is important to consider communication between devices. Almost every product in this guide is capable of connecting via Cresnet. Cresnet is the communications backbone for Crestron systems. It is a simple, bi-directional network combined with a 24 V power feed. Cresnet allows runs over several thousand feet, and the wiring topology is flexible. Unlike Ethernet,

and

there is no need for dozens of “home-run” cables – Cresnet can daisy-chain

When designing, try to avoid a large number of Cresnet devices on one circuit. There is a physical limit of 255 devices per segment, but performance may limit you to far less devices. The acceptable number of Cresnet devices varies with usage and programming complexity. Performance can be increased by using the Cresnet hubs described in the accessories section of this guide. The PAC2 processor includes several Cresnet segments built-in for high performance out of the box.

Cresnet supplies 24 V power to devices. Power is provided by select processors or a power supply. Insufficient or unstable power will cause an unreliable system. To help you with the power calculations, a power calculator is available on the Crestron web site.

An Ethernet connection is available on some products, especially touchpanels and processors. Ethernet provides a high performance connection. Power can be provided with devices that support POE (Power Over Ethernet).

home-run.

System Architecture

Crestron Green Light systems are available in a variety of configurations. Factors such as construction type, client requirements, and architectural restrictions determine the best configuration. Lighting system architectures include centralized, distributed, and hybrid.

At the heart of each Green Light system is one or more control processors. This control system takes in user button presses or other external events and turns them into single commands or even sequences of commands; dimming lights and closing shades can occur with just one button press or occupancy sense. In addition to controlling lighting, fans, motors, HVAC, and security, the control system can connect to building systems via Ethernet, RS-232, BACnet, LonWorks, and others.

Crestron Commercial Lighting Design Guide

Centralized Architecture

Product Families: Architectural Dimming, Power Switching, Green Light Express

x High-voltage wiring home-runs from many rooms to a central Crestron panel x Lights are controlled with keypads and touchpanels located anywhere

In a centralized system all the high-voltage lighting, motor, fan, and switch circuits draw power directly from modules in a Crestron Green Light enclosure. Wired or wireless user interfaces can be placed throughout the building to control the various circuits. A centralized design simplifies the high-voltage wiring through a “home-run” infrastructure in which each lighting circuit is connected directly to the module within the Crestron enclosure.

The major benefit of a centralized architecture is the ability to program the user interfaces to control any load connected to the system. This differs from traditional distributed infrastructure, whereby each circuit is controlled locally via the in-wall dimmer or switch. Enabling load control through programming enables multi-point control as well as the ability to change how the system functions through future updates. In addition to reducing wall clutter, multiple circuits can be controlled via a single button press, simply recalling presets for different room configurations, events or atmospheres.

Centralized systems are appropriate for applications such as lobbies, hallways, parking garages, stadiums, and auditoriums.

Distributed Architecture

Product Families: Room Solutions

x Wired in traditional configuration x Each load is controlled by a local Crestron device x In some cases, the local device has integrated keypad x Keypad and touchpanel control are optional, allowing that load to be controlled from any location

In a distributed system, the high-voltage lighting, motor, fan, and switch circuits are wired in the traditional configuration with local control. Controllable in-wall dimmers or switches replace the standard dimmers or switches and can be retrofitted into a project after customary high-voltage wiring is completed. Crestron in-wall dimmers communicate with a control processor through either a Cresnet (low-voltage control wire) or infiNET EX power and flexibility of automation. In the event of a control system interruption, the user can still operate the lighting locally.

In the commercial space, in-wall solutions are appropriate for offices, small boardrooms, and hospitality. Typically in-wall dimmers or switches support standard voltages (120/230VAC) and load types (incandescent, magnetic low-voltage). In the case where higher voltages and loads are required, an expansion module can be added.

Hybrid Architecture

Product Families: Mix centralized and distributed products.

x Combines both centralized and distributed architectures x Offers complete building/enterprise control through flexible combinations of products

A hybrid system is a mix of both the centralized and distributed design. This allows local control where needed alongside sophisticated central control for larger spaces. For example, a boardroom could have distributed local control while the lobby is on centralized control. Hybrid designs typically achieve a good balance, delivering the control necessary at a reasonable budget. In many commercial spaces, mechanical/electrical room space is limited (this is where the Green Light enclosures must be installed). By using a logical mix of centralized and distributed control, entire buildings can be connected to a control network that offers total control, monitoring and management.

Green Light Designer Software

Crestron Green Light Designer allows you to design and document a complete, energy-efficient commercial lighting solution that combines facility-wide lighting, shade/drape control with audio/video integration and network management - all without requiring extensive knowledge of Crestron products, or any other Crestron software.

Green Light Designer features a straightforward user interface, with all data entry confined to four easy-to-use tabs: load schedule, shades, control stations, and sensors. As you define your project, an equipment list of required Crestron products is generated automatically behind the scenes.

Once the project is designed and configured, Green Light Designer allows you to generate attractive and easy to read reports such as one-line diagrams, load schedules, shade schedules, equipment lists, and equipment lists by room. Reports can be generated in a variety of formats (e.g. PDF, Excel, HTML, CSV, text) ready to be sent via email or imported into other applications.

Architectural Dimming

Crestron Green Light Architectural Dimming products are designed for control of lighting in theaters, restaurants, offices, and anywhere centralized dimming is desired. With a range of panel sizes and configurations available, every system is fully scalable to custom fit each installation. An extensive selection of Crestron keypads, touchpanels, occupancy sensors, photocells, shade controllers, and numerous other peripheral options afford astounding design flexibility with unparalleled capability for integration.

x Centralized dimming system x Available with integrated main lug and branch breakers x Keypads and touchpanels offer flexible control anywhere x Astronomical clock allows events to be scheduled around sunrise/sunset x Sensor integration for occupancy sensing and daylight harvesting x Emergency override assures reliable lighting in critical areas

GLPD panels are available with integrated circuit breakers. GLPD panels without integrated circuit breakers are known as “feed-thru” cabinets. Dimming in a feed-thru cabinet is also available with the GLPX panel from the Green Light Express product line. To learn more or configure a GLPX panel, see the Green Light Express section on page 29.

When to Specify Architectural Dimming

If you need to dim a large amount of lighting loads, Architectural Dimming panels are the tools for the job. When specifying, keep in mind that the panel requires all load wiring to home-run to a single location, preferably a utility room where the panel can be installed. A single panel can control up to 60 lighting loads. If necessary, multiple panels can be configured and connected through the control system. With Architectural Dimming panels, no job is too big.

* If using 120/208V and MCB125, reduce the maximum number of loads shown by three.

Now choose quantities of DIM, FLV, and HSW modules, but do not exceed the maximum number of modules and maximum number of loads determined from the table above.

As an example, say you have 4 DIM loads, 20 FLV loads, and 15 HSW loads. This would require 1 DIM module, 3 FLV modules, and 2 HSW modules = 6 modules. Using the formula on the previous page, these six modules wire a total of 46 loads.

The cabinet size will be 2x4 because it is the smallest cabinet that can accommodate 6 modules and 46 circuits.

2x2 3x2 2x4 3x4 2x2-FT 3x2-FT

(1 × 6) + (3 × 8) + (2 × 8) = 46 loads

Power Switching

Crestron Green Light Power Switching products are designed for control of lighting in office buildings, warehouses, parking garages, sports facilities, public spaces, and anywhere centralized switching is required. With a range of panel sizes and configurations available, every system is fully scalable to custom fit each installation. An extensive selection of Crestron keypads, touchpanels, occupancy sensors, photocells, shade controllers, and numerous other peripheral options afford astounding design flexibility with unparalleled capability for integration.

x Centralized switching system with integrated main lug and branch breakers x Keypads and touchpanels offer flexible control anywhere x Astronomical clock allows events to be scheduled around sunrise/sunset x Sensor integration for occupancy sensing and daylight harvesting x Emergency override assures reliable lighting in critical areas

GLPS panels come with integrated circuit breakers. Power switching without integrated circuit breakers is available in the GLPX panel from the Green Light Express product line. To learn more or configure a GLPX panel, see the Green Light Express section on page 29.

When to Specify Power Switching

If you need load switching and have a large amount of lighting circuits, Power Switching panels are the tools for the job. When specifying, keep in mind that the panel requires all lighting wiring to run to a single location, preferably a utility room where the panel can be installed. A single panel can control up to 42 lighting circuits. If necessary, configure multiple panels and easily connect them using Crestron’s control system. With Power Switching panels, no job is too big.

GLPS Panels

Crestron GLPS Series power switching panels feature field-replaceable switching modules with a choice of relay technologies to address a wide range of applications and budgets. In addition to switching, some Green Light Power Switching panels also allow the option to add dimming control for 0-10V fluorescent ballasts and 0-10V LEDs. Switching relays are available in arcless or standard form. Arcless relays provide increased durability for a higher rated lifetime over standard relays.

GLPS Panel Naming System

GLPS

When ordering a power switching panel, construct a model name as shown above. Possible choices are listed underneath each blue box. The numbered steps below describe each choice in detail.

Example: GLPS-HSW-MLO-30-120-10

1. Relay Type GLPS-___-___-___-___-___-___ Determine the type of switching relay required. Use the following table to determine the appropriate relay. If you wish to mix relay types within a panel, see the GLPS-C panel on page 23.

Switching Relay Types High-inrush Arcless high-inrush Arcless high-inrush Voltages 120/230/277 120/230/277 120/230/277 Lighting Output Capacity 16A 16A 16A Motor Output Capacity (120/230/277 V) Rated Relay Lifetime Up to 100,000 1,000,000 1,000,000 0-10V Dimming No No Yes Additional Relay Info Page 25 Page 26 Page 27

Crestron offers two switching relay types: high-inrush and arcless high-inrush. Arcless high-inrush relays use a TRIAC to handle the current turn on. Within milliseconds, the continuous load is transferred from the TRIAC to a robust 50A mechanically-latching relay. All switching occurs at the zero-cross point of the AC waveform under microprocessor control. This is a complete solution eliminating arcing at the physical relay contacts during turn on and turn off. By eliminating arcing, the relay lifetime is increased substantially.

DALI

The Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) is a protocol used for the direct control of lighting ballasts. A DALI controller communicates bi-directionally with up to 64 individual DALI ballasts over a low-voltage 2-wire bus, providing fixture-level control. Because each fixture can be controlled individually, DALI systems afford the ability to easily configure and reconfigure spaces. Control wires are daisy chained between each ballast (up to 64 of them), making wiring much simpler than in 0-10V dimming systems. Besides being extremely flexible, the DALI data is resistant to noise, allowing it to run alongside high-voltage power lines.

DALI uses bi-directional communication, meaning the system can set dimming levels and query the status of each individual ballast. DALI systems can report lighting failure, allowing for easier maintenance. Controllers can even query the energy usage for each light, allowing for tracking of energy costs.

Crestron DALI commissioning software simplifies and expedites system installation. The setup wizard provides step-by-step configuration of ballast properties, groups, and scenes. Simply set the ballast address, check the connectivity status, edit the minimum and maximum levels, edit the fade time, and change the ballast grouping and scenes as needed. This powerful tool uses automatic identification of new hardware IDs for simple ballast replacement. Settings from old ballasts are transferred to replacements with just a few mouse clicks, saving time and eliminating guesswork.

x Addressable ballasts provide very granular control x Simple yet robust control wiring x Bi-directional communication with ballasts x Easy setup with Crestron DALI commissioning software

When to Specify DALI Systems

DALI systems should be used where ballast-level control is required. DALI is ideal for open-space commercial environments. When cubicle and workspace layouts change, the lighting can be adjusted accordingly. Other typical applications include lecture halls and conference rooms. DALI provides tremendous flexibility for both retrofit and new installations.

DIN-DALI-2

The DIN-DALI-2 is a DALI interface for Crestron systems providing control of up to two individual DALI loops. Housed in a DIN rail enclosure, the DIN-DALI-2 is a great low-profile Cresnet or Ethernet companion to the DIN-AP2 processor, or any 2-Series control system. In addition to controlling the DALI data bus, it includes an integrated DALI power supply. The single-wire connectivity simplifies both new and retrofit installations, and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) versatility assists in situations with existing CAT5 infrastructure.

> Controls up to 128 DALI ballasts

DALI

> Cresnet or PoE communication for single wire installation > Integrated DALI power supply > Crestron DALI commissioning tool for easy setup > Override input for emergency mode

DALI Power

DALI ballast controllers require power in addition to the high voltage power provided to the ballasts. This power is provided via the DALI wiring. The DIN-DALI-2 has a DALI power supply built in, eliminating the need for a separate power supply. A supplemental power supply can be added if needed, and an onboard switch allows installers to easily choose the power source.

Power over Ethernet

The DIN-DALI-2 gets its own power either through Cresnet or Power over Ethernet (PoE). This simplifies wiring to the DIN-DALI-2 module. The power from Cresnet or PoE is then used to power the DALI controllers if the DALI power switch is set to “int”. All 128 DALI ballast controllers can be powered in either Cresnet or PoE mode.

Power Requirements

PoE Requirements 13 watts (0.270 Amps @ 48 Volts DC), regardless of DALI POWER setting Cresnet Power Usage 9 watts (0.375 Amps @ 24 Volts DC), DALI POWER switch set to “INT”

2 watts (0.08 Amps @ 24 Volts DC), DALI POWER switch set to “EXT” Note: Unit will default to Cresnet power if both PoE and Cresnet power are present.

DIN-1DIM4

The DIN-1DIM4 is a DIN rail mounted lighting control module with four channels of dimming. A single model supports both 120 and 220-277 Volt electronic and magnetic low-voltage, incandescent, neon/cold cathode, 2-wire dimmable fluorescent, and non-dimmable lighting loads up to 5 Amps per channel, 10 Amps total.

> 4 channels of dimming > 120 to 277 Volt 50/60 Hz operation > Selectable non-dim mode > Setup via front panel or software > Programmable functionality via DIN-AP2

Phase-Synchronous Detection Circuitry

Crestron's proprietary zero cross filter technology provides superior immunity to noise on the power line, reducing lamp flicker and compensating for fluctuations in line voltage and frequency.

Master Air-Gap Relay

When all four channels are turned fully off, the internal master relay automatically opens providing air-gap isolation to allow safe servicing and changing of light bulbs on all four controlled circuits.

Override Input

An override input is provided to allow an external contact closure to momentarily override the control system program and set each channel output to its override preset level. Levels can be adjusted and saved locally from the front panel, or remotely via software.

DIN-1DIMU4

The DIN-1DIMU4 is a 4-channel universal lighting control module designed to support dimming of both forward and reverse phase type loads. A single model supports 120 and 220-240 volt electronic and magnetic low voltage, incandescent, neon/cold cathode, 2-wire dimmable fluorescent, and non-dimmable lighting loads up to 5 amps per channel, 10 amps total.

Auto Load Detection

Each channel of the DIN-1DIMU4 is capable of auto-detecting the dimmable load type connected to it and selecting the appropriate operating mode to control that load. Reverse phase (trailing edge) mode supports incandescent and electronic low-voltage load types, while forward phase (leading edge) mode handles magnetic low voltage, neon, and other inductive load types. A non-dim mode is also selectable for switching of non-dimmable lighting fixtures. Any channel may be set for any mode, allowing one dimmer module to handle any combination of lighting types on four separately controlled circuits.

This two-way communication link allows the iLux functions to be controlled from touchpanels, RF wireless remotes, and even computers. The control system interface also enables flexibility for integration with other systems such as security, HVAC and energy management, plus remote monitoring via Crestron RoomView applications.

Note: infiNET EX dimmers and switches are not able to communicate with the iLux directly, since both are “slave” modules.

Built-in Motion Detector

iLux Room Controllers with the built-in infrared motion detector can automate control based on room occupancy. iLux can turn on lights and open shades automatically when someone enters the room or turn off and close them when the room is left empty.

Multi-Unit Expansion

One CLS-C6 type master will support up to eight additional CLS-C6 type units, allowing up to 54 lighting zones and 54 shade groups. Commands for typical functions like scene recall, scene off, master dimming, and occupancy status are shared between the CLS-C6 units. Each unit can still support a complete assortment of local devices including keypads, shade controllers, and motion detectors.

Crestron Commercial Lighting Design Guide

Cameo Dimmers and Switches

Cameo® dimmers and switches are designed to replace any standard in-wall dimmer or switch. Although the following devices are functional as a standalone dimmer or switch, they deliver greatly enhanced functionality as part of a complete

Cameo Dimmer

with 2-way rocker

(depicted with face plate)

Crestron control solution. When connected to a Crestron PAC2 or PAC2M automation control system (or any other 2-Series control system), extensive automation and control capability is enabled.

In addition to replacing standard dimmers and switches, Cameo remote “slave” units replace traditional 3- or 4-way lighting dimmers and switches. The slave units connect to the main dimmer or switch through the 120 Volt traveler wire. Up to 10 slave units can be connected to a single Cameo dimmer or switch.

Dimmer Derating

Dimmers generate heat during operation. When dimmers are placed in close proximity, such as in a wall-box, their ability to dissipate heat is reduced. To increase lifetime and avoid overheating, the max load ratings are reduced accordingly. For each dimmer there are three ratings: single, one side shared, and two sides shared. See the derating graphics below for examples.

Sensors

Adding sensors makes a smart system even smarter. Sensors save on energy costs while enhancing functionality and reliability.

The Sensor Advantage

x Reduced energy usage x More consistent lighting levels x Completely automatic

Automated Actions

A system with sensors will automatically control lights based on occupancy. When no one is in a room, lights shut off and energy is conserved. Sensors also help with light harvesting by monitoring ambient light. A system with sensors can ramp the artificial lighting up or down depending on the amount of natural light entering a room. This allows consistent lighting conditions while maximizing energy savings. Since everything is automatic, human error is eliminated.

Occupancy Products

Crestron Green Light sensors deliver a powerful solution for reducing energy costs and enhancing the functionality of li environmental systems. Crestron offers ceiling and wall mount occupancy sensors for areas up to 2500 square feet.

Advanced self-adaptive motion sensing using a combination of ultrasonic and passive infrared technologies affords extreme reliability for control of lighting, climate control and other devices in the room. A built-in photocell can be set to override the occupancy sensor if the ambient light level is above a set threshold, preventing lights from turning on when there is sufficient daylight in the room.

Sensors are easily connected to the lighting control processor via the Cresnet control network using a GLS-SIM Sensor Integration Module. Alternately, they may be connected directly via an input port.

GLA-ESR

GLS-PLS

GLA-UPS

The GLA-ESR emergency bypass/shunt relay is designed for applications that require an emergency load to be switched on during a loss of normal power. The GLA-ESR is available either prepackaged in its own NEMA 1 enclosure or as a panel version to be installed inside an existing enclosure. Models can be ordered with a two position closed/auto override test switch or with a custom two position momentary on/auto override test switch. This switch can be used to verify your emergency load is being switched properly during initial field wiring. UL 924 emergency bypass/shunt relays will switch a lighting load upon loss of normal power downstream of an emergency transfer switch, bypassing the wall switch position.

The GLS-PLS is a 3-phase power loss sensor designed for use with Crestron Green Light systems to activate Override mode during a power failure. In response to a signal from the GLS-PLS, the lighting system program can be temporarily overridden while designated emergency lighting circuits are changed to their override preset levels and unnecessary lighting and other devices are shut down to minimize the demand on emergency power equipment.

The GLS-PLS senses each leg of a 120 or 277 Volt 3-phase feed, providing LED indication of the status of each phase on its front panel. When power is lost on any phase, the corresponding status LED turns off and a contact closure is activated on each of two control outputs. Two isolated control outputs are provided to allow for interfacing with third-party equipment in addition to the Crestron lighting system. Each contact closure output is rated for 1A at 24 Volts DC.

Testing the GLS-PLS-120/277 is facilitated using three test switches located behind a small cover plate on the front of the unit. Setting any switch to the TEST position simulates a loss of power on the corresponding phase leg, providing a test of the unit's internal circuitry and any connected equipment.

The steel enclosure is designed for mounting to a vertical surface. Conduit knockouts are provided on the bottom, top, and both sides. All electrical connections are made via screw terminals accessed by removing the front panel.
