WARNING: To avoid fire, shock, or death; turn off power at circuit breaker or fuse and test that power is off before wiring!
CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the system (www.crestron.com/calculators).
NOTES: Observe the following:
• To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations.
• If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a qualified electrician.

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
SETUP
Network Wiring
When wiring the Cresnet® network, consider the following:
• Use Crestron Certified Wire.
• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
• Provide sufficient power to the system.
Preparing and Connecting Wires
Strip the ends of the wires approximately 1/2 inch (13 mm). Use care to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a connection and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle. The label on the rear of the dimmer contains a gauge for wire stripping.
Light Level Testing
Before installing the photocell, verify the daylight levels on a sunny day at the proposed location of the photocell. With the lights switched off, use a light meter to read the daylight level. Orient the light meter in the same direction the photocell will view. The light levels under sunny conditions must be at least 35 fc. If the light levels are less, you should select another location or reorient the photocell
.
DESCRIPTION
The GLS-LCL Closed-Loop Photocell responds to ambient light levels within an occupied space and provides an analog voltage proportionate to the ambient light level.
The sensor measures the ambient light that actually falls upon it within a 60º cone extending downward from the sensor (refer to “Field of View” illustration below). This is the light that gets reflected to the ceiling from the walls, floor and furniture.

MOUNTING
NOTE: Care must be taken when choosing the mounting location.
It is recommended that the sensor be mounted directly above the work space, such as a desk, conference table or computer terminal.
Mounting location is important because the ambient light level will be different at different points in the room, depending on the location of the windows, lighting fixtures, wall colors, etc. The ambient light at the doorway can be much less than that at the windows, corners of the room, or especially on the ceiling. There­fore, it is important to measure the ambient light level over the workplace.
INSTALLATION
The GLS-LCL can either be fastened onto the ceiling surface, flush mounted into the ceiling, or installed in a 4" (102 mm) round or octagonal box, depending on ceiling material and local codes.
1. To fasten the photocell to the ceiling surface, attach the outer shell provided to the ceiling at the desired location using two #4 screws and appropriate anchor hardware, where necessary. For concealed wiring, access to the space above the ceiling is required, as well as a hole in the ceiling above the photocell to connect the wires from the optional GLS-SIM or other Crestron interface device.
Make all connections as described in steps 3 through 7.
Carefully feed the wires into the hole and press the Photocell body into the outer shell until the rim is flush with the shell.
NOTE: If wiring is to be run exposed along the ceiling, carefully
trim the plastic from the indentation in the side of the outer shell and lay the photocell wires through it before tightening the shell onto the ceiling.
2. To flush mount into the ceiling (only allows concealed wiring, the outer shell is not used), cut a 2" (51 mm) diameter hole through the ceiling. Make all connections as described in steps 3 through 7. Carefully feed the wires back through the hole and press the GLS-LCL into the hole until the rim is flush with the ceiling.
3. Prepare the photocell lead wires by removing 3/4" (19 mm) of insulation from each lead to expose bare copper wire. Make sure the ends of wires are straight.
4. Determine the length of low voltage wires needed to connect power to photocell. Use wires suitable for low-voltage wiring according to local electrical codes.
5. Route low-voltage wires from GLS-LCL location(s) to interface device location(s). (Refer to the wiring diagrams in the next column.)
6. Prepare low-voltage wires by removing 3/4" (19 mm) of insulation from each lead to expose bare copper wire. Make sure the ends of the wires are straight.
7. Connect low voltage wires as shown in wiring diagrams in the next column (black to ground, red to power, and orange to the interface device). Twist strands of each separate wire connection tightly, and push firmly into appropriate wire connector. Screw connector on clockwise ensuring no bare conductor shows below the wire connectors. Secure each connector with electrical tape.
8. Mount the GLS-LCL to the ceiling. INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.

SPECIAL PROGRAMMING
To ensure correct processing of the sensor’s output from all interface devices (other than the GLS-SIM), the SIMPL program for the control processor must disable the pull-up resistor built in to the Versiport input connector. This is accomplished by setting the “pu-disable” digital input signal to a “1.”
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM POSSIBLE
Lights do not respond to change in ambient light level.
Incorrect wiring between sensor and GLS-SIM (or other compatible interface).
Improper sensor location.
Improper control system programming.
GLS-SIM DIP switch settings not correct.
CAUSE
CORRECTIVE
ACTION
Refer to the wiring diagrams in the right column.
Verify that sensor is located such that it can detect the desired workspace light levels.
Check logic in control processor, or contact Crestron for assistance.
Refer to the wiring diagrams in the right column for appropriate settings.
