GLS-SIM
Sensor Integration Module
Installation and Operation Guide
Description
The GLS-SIM is a compact interface device designed to allow Crestron Green Light®
sensors to be connected directly to a Cresnet
communications backbone for Crestron
shade controllers, thermostats, and many other devices. This exible 4-wire bus provides
data communications and 24 Vdc power for all of the devices on the Cresnet network.
The GLS-SIM installs easily at the sensor location, mounting inside the electrical box or
exposed above the ceiling. Wiring connections to the network and sensor are facilitated
using miniature screw terminals.

Identity Code
The Net ID of the GLS-SIM has been factory set to 92 (with a mechanical setting of 00).
NOTE: The ID CODE switches on the GLS-SIM are factory set to 00. This allows
changing the Net ID with Crestron Toolbox™ software (optional).
The Net ID of the GLS-SIM can be set using one of two methods:
• Manual Setting: Set the two ID CODE switches (from 03 to FE) to match a Net ID in
the SIMPL Windows program.
• Touch-settable ID: Set the two ID CODE switches to 00 and set the Net ID using
Crestron Toolbox. This is the factory setting. For more details, refer to the Crestron
Toolbox help le.
ID CODE Switches
When setting the Net ID, consider the following:
• The Net ID of each unit must match an ID code specied in the control system
program.
• Each network device must have a unique Net ID.
Installation
NOTE: Observe the following points.
• Install and use this product in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and
regulations.
• If unsure about any part of these instructions, consult a qualied electrician.
• Mount the sensor on a vibration-free surface.
• All sensors must be mounted at least 6 feet (1.8 m) away from air vents.
• Do not mount sensors closer than 10 feet (3 m) from each other.
• Do not touch the inner surface of the lens. Clean outer surface with a damp cloth
only.
NOTE: Before using the GLS-SIM, ensure the device is using the latest rmware.
Check for the latest rmware for the GLS-SIM at www.crestron.com/rmware. Load
rmware onto the device using Crestron Toolbox software.
The GLS-SIM can be installed inside a standard 4-inch electrical box or mounted above
the ceiling using the included mounting bracket or the included dual-lock fastener. Use a
#1 Phillips screwdriver and the included screws to attach the included mounting bracket.

Hardware Hookup
Make the necessary connections as called out in the illustration. Apply power after all
connections have been made.
CAUTION: Insufcient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage to the
equipment. To help calculate how much power is needed for the system, use the
Crestron Power Calculator at www.crestron.com/calculators.
NOTE: Use Crestron Certied Wire.
NOTE: When making connections, strip the ends of the wires approximately 1/2 in
(13 mm). Use care to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the
wires that share a connection.
GLS-SIM Connections
NET:
To control system
and other Cresnet
devices
NOTE: The SENSOR port is a 4-pin 3.5 mm detachable terminal block. The sensor
input is comprised of 24 Vdc power output and two Versiports (referenced to GND),
5 V and 2k ohms pull-up resistor per pin.
NOTE: Depending on the available Cresnet power, the GLS-SIM can pass a maximum
of 1 A @ 24 Vdc to the devices or sensors that are connected to the SENSOR port.
Other Connections
The GLS-SIM can be congured as a digital input, an analog input, or a digital output.
This setting is determined by the program running in the attached control processor.
Other settings are controlled by the DIP switches. Refer to the “Conguration” section for
diagrams that show how the GLS-SIM should be wired for each application.
CAUTION: Incorrect wiring may damage the GLS-SIM.

Conguration
Use the DIP switches to congure the GLS-SIM to work with various device types, as
described in the following illustrations and associated tables.
