A lighting control system is as unique as the home it supports.
Crestron offers the equipment and flexibility of design required for every one-of-a-
kind solution to home automation needs. The designer can create a complete lighting
system consisting of traditional wiring with local intelligence, up to a system that
incorporates distributed, high-voltage wiring with centralized and/or distributed
intelligence. Cresnet low-voltage wiring is used for control throughout this wide
range of system design possibilities.
In a typical home with traditional wiring, a wall switch completes a simple circuit to
an overhead light. Adding additional lighting controls to the room requires that banks
of switches, dimmers, or timers replace the single switch.
In larger homes, businesses, and institutions, a multi-function user interface replaces
the large banks of traditional switches, dimmers, and timers. In addition to lighting,
these user interfaces can also be used to control security, HVAC, and audio/video
systems.
The system control can be located near the user interface, the controlled circuits, or
can be centralized at some other remote location.
Crestron D3 Pro software is a comprehensive design and development tool that
provides a programming environment for all lighting, HVAC and security needs. It
contains many features to facilitate a successful installation, including an
astronomical clock that allows the scheduling of events based on time of day or
sunrise and sunset. Keypads and touchpanels are easily designed and programmed,
and communication among Crestron control equipment is simplified.
Types of Lighting System Designs
Crestron offers centralized and distributed lighting control system components. A
centralized system is one in which all the high-voltage circuits are terminated within
a Crestron home automation enclosure. A distributed system is the traditional wiring
system of individual lighting circuits with local control. The most efficient lighting
systems are a combination of centralized processing and distributed dimmers. This
provides the reliability of local control along with sophisticated central control.

Control System Crestron Lighting
Centralized Design
The high-voltage lighting, fans, motors and switch circuits are individually wired
directly to the modules in the Crestron home automation enclosure. The modules are
controlled by low voltage user interfaces in the living area. This greatly simplifies
the high-voltage wiring while creating a flexible and efficient design using keypad
and touchpanel interfaces.
A central processor, connected via a local area network to the lighting modules and
the user interfaces, is dedicated to lighting, fans, motors, HVAC, and security. Other
processors that are dedicated to other home control systems can communicate via
Ethernet, RS-232 or RS-422 to the lighting processor. This eliminates the need for
additional controls for other home systems, separating home safety and life support
systems from information and entertainment systems, providing a flexible design
solution and a fully integrated home control.

Distributed Design
In the traditional distributed design wiring method, Crestron wall box dimmers can
be retrofitted into a project after routine high-voltage wiring is completed.
In addition to the traditional high-voltage wiring, a low-voltage communication wire
is run from the dimmer to the nearest Cresnet connection. This design offers the end-
user the familiarity of a traditional control coupled with the power and flexibility of
automated control. In a distributed design, the user has the security of operating the
lighting in the event of a temporary control system interruption.

Complete Crestron Home Design
A complete Crestron home design is a blend of distributed and centralized design in
which central control intelligence and distributed local dimmers form a reliable
whole house lighting control solution.
Large rooms, stairways, and frequently used rooms are often remotely controlled
using the astronomical time clock or whole-house presets. This level of control
requires connection to a central dimming controller. Each room is equipped with a
low voltage keypad for preset selection and audio/video integration. All the dimmers
in the system (grouped into the central controller for wiring convenience)
communicate with each other through the Crestron control system, providing a
complete Crestron home design.

Crestron Lighting Control System
Requirements for Design
Lighting system design begins with a collection of complete information. The
successful lighting system plan begins with a lighting load schedule that you define
and compile based on the information contained in a detailed floor plan that
identifies the elements of the load schedule design, the location and types of user
interfaces used (i.e., local dimmers, keypads or touchpanels), the control processor
details (large systems should use a dedicated lighting control processor), and the
optional window treatment details, which include shade/blind motors and relay
control (consult manufacturer for details). The following eight steps, performed in
this sequence, is the recommended design procedure.
Step 1: Define the Load Schedule
A load schedule lists the information on each load connected to every circuit in an
electrical panel. This is the primary source of information required for lighting
control system design.

2. Location of controlled lighting zone, relevant to building site/drawings,
floor designation, and room name.
3. Fixture and/or lamp type of controlled lighting zone, including any
information describing custom fixtures, undetermined fixtures, dimmable
transformers or fluorescent ballasts, and circuit breaker numbers. This
information can also contain the number assigned to the controlled circuit.
4. Load Type of the controlled lighting zone. Load types include incandescent,
magnetic low voltage, electronic low voltage, neon/cold cathode, HID,
dimmable/non-dimmable fluorescent ballast, ceiling fans, and switched 3wire motor circuits. This information is especially important for selecting
the correct Crestron module power rating and type.
5. Dimming requirement for the controlled lighting zone (i.e. whether the
lighting level of the loads/fixtures needs to be ramped up/down or simply
switched on/off). Indicate: “Yes” for Dimming, and “No” for Non-Dim.
6. Emergency designation for the controlled lighting zone (Yes/No; i.e. when
a load also needs to be assigned to a separate emergency power feed). These
items are assigned to their own separate dimmer, so it can be fed with
emergency power.
7. Fixture Wattage (Watts or Power-Rating per Fixture) with regard to the
controlled lighting zone. This is used to determine the number of fixtures
that can be powered per each Crestron Dimmer Module channel, in order
not to overload the dimmer beyond it’s own power rating. Volts rating for
the controlled lighting zone tells the designer the voltage of the electrical
feeds required for that zone, and hence the required rating for the associated
Crestron module. It is recommended, due to electrical codes, to avoid
mixing different voltages in a single enclosure.
NOTE: At the present time, all Crestron load voltage is 120 VAC.
6 • Lighting Control System Design Design Guide – DOC. 5999A
Crestron Lighting Control System
8. Quantity of fixtures for the controlled lighting zone. This is useful, along
with item #6, in calculating the total power rating (watts) for that particular
controlled circuit (item #9).
9. Total Wattage, or Power Rating, of the controlled lighting zone. This is
required in order to determine the total number of Crestron Lighting
Module channels required for that particular zone, especially if the load of
the total number of fixtures exceeds the rating of a single module channel.
NOTE: National and local electrical codes and the functionality of each userinterface must be taken into consideration. Always install electrical devices
according to the national Electrical Code (NEC), local codes, and with safety in
mind.
Equipment List Specification
The equipment list is based on the requirements collected for the lighting system in
the load schedule. This is a sequential step-by-step process. The information
gathered in previous steps is required to complete following steps. Once all the steps
are completed, a complete bill-of-material for the system is created. The seven steps
are as follows:
• Module selection – based on the number and type of loads
• Enclosure selection – based on the number of modules and
locations
• User interface selection – based on the user control requirements
• Wiring plan – based on the previous steps and the layout of the
environment
• Control processor – based on the size of the system (large systems
should have a dedicated processor)
• Network block selection – based on the layout and distribution of
the loads
• Accessories selection – based on the required accessories (third
party telephone and alarm systems, etc.)
NOTE: Crestron D3 Pro software is the ideal tool for specifying an equipment list.
A fully documented help file supports the easy-to-use screens and views. It offers the
designer a starting place for determining modules and enclosures. The Crestron D3
Pro software can also generate a load schedule report. Refer to the latest version of
the Crestron D3 Pro Reference Guide (Doc. 5998) available from the Crestron web
site (www.crestron.com) for detailed information about D3 Pro.
Design Guide – DOC. 5999A Lighting Control System Design • 7
Control System Crestron Lighting
Step 2: Module Selection
The enclosure mounted Crestron modules, connected to the appropriate terminal
block, perform pre-determined functions with various types of light sources, motors
and non-lighting loads. Modules have a Cresnet link for control processor
communication and a module override connection. Six different modules are
available. The type of load, number of circuits, required current load capacity, and
economic considerations are all determining factors when choosing modules. The
number and type of modules is determined from the load schedule. The number of
required modules will determine the size and type of enclosure(s) in the next step.
Each module is wired via the terminal block to a circuit breaker (provided by others).
The power provided to the module is distributed to all of its outputs. Each module
contains relays that provide an individual air gap for each controlled high voltage
circuit. Module selection can be done manually or by the D3 Pro software.
NOTE: A module terminal block (CLT-Series device) must also be ordered for each
module. The corresponding CLT terminal block is installed in the enclosure for high
voltage wire termination. Each terminal block includes a terminal rail for mounting
the terminal block in the enclosure. Terminal rails and blocks do not occupy a
module space within an enclosure.
CLX-2DIM2 Module Specifications
Oversized heat-sink fins on the face of the module provide superior heat dissipation,
eliminating heat related failures. The modules incorporate spit-bobbin transformers
and ground reference electronics for superior performance. AC line noise
interference and lamp flicker are eliminated by an innovative zero-crossing detection
technique and unique Crestron firmware. The red LEDs on the side of the module
indicate the presence of voltage to the module output. The brightness of the LED
corresponds to brightness of the lights. The green and amber Cresnet
communications LEDs indicate both power and communication.
Module Specifications
CLX-2DIM2 has two input feeds and two large capacity dimmers. This module
handles larger loads like chandeliers, landscape lights, and loads using many
transformers or 2-wire ballasts. Each output circuit is limited to 1920 watts (16A).

Terminal Blocks (CLT-Series)
he Crestron terminal block is mounted within an enclosure and has two functions.
1. Terminates the circuit feed (HOT and NEUTRAL) supplied by circuit
breaker and distributes the controlled circuits (LOAD) to the fixtures.
2. Serves as a test point and interface to the lighting module. Bypass
jumpers on the terminal block allow the testing of circuits and protect
the module during installation.
eft and right wiring labels are provided with each terminal block. The wiring
abels are positioned in between the terminal block and enclosure to provide
dentification of each terminal block section.
he left-side labels are common for both single and double-width enclosures. The
ight-side labels are only used in double-width enclosures because the modules and
erminal blocks along the right side must be inverted when installed.

Control System Crestron Lighting
Step 3: Enclosure Selection
Crestron home automation enclosures contain the control devices of the lighting
control system (excluding the user interfaces). These enclosures also provide a
centralized location in which to install other home automation equipment. Crestron
enclosures are constructed of 16-gauge galvanized steel and are UL and C-UL listed.
Enclosures can be flush mounted or surface mounted.
The wide range of sizes, mounting options, and convenient electrical knockouts,
ensure mounting location flexibility, efficiency and an orderly installation.
NOTE: CAEN-Series enclosures are required to install CLX-Series lighting
modules.
The lighting designer identifies the CAEN-Series enclosure(s) required, based on the
number of module spaces counted in step 2 and the AC power distribution of the
system. Enclosures may be all centrally located in one area or distributed throughout
the home. Distributing the enclosures throughout the home reduces the run-length of
high-voltage wires to the loads.
Enclosures have a specific number of module spaces for CLX-Series modules, the
control processor, and CAEN-UMP mounting plates.
Enclosures that do not contain a PAC2 control processor require a CAEN-BLOCK
communications link, which is installed in the bottom of the enclosure and not
installed in a module slot. Therefore the CAEN-BLOCK is not included in the
calculation of enclosure size.
Consider selecting enclosures with excess room to accommodate system
improvements and expansion. Crestron recommends selecting an enclosure that has
at least one more space than needed, allowing for changes in modules or lighting
fixtures. A larger enclosure also enhances air-cooling.
The CAEN-7x2 is the largest and most economical enclosure, containing up to 12
modules and a PAC2 processor. Without the PAC2, this enclosure can hold up to 14
modules (assuming a fully loaded enclosure with 14 CLX-1DIM8s, a maximum of
112 dimmers).
There are occasions when a separate enclosure is desired for the PAC2. The
processor can be located in a more accessible location with better temperature
control and easier access to the wiring. In this situation, Crestron recommends using
the CAEN-2x1 enclosure for the PAC2.
Single-width enclosures fit between 16” on-center stud framing. Using several
CAEN-7x1 enclosures, flush mounted between the studs, creates a clean, in-wall
installation. When surface mounting the enclosures, allow at least 6” (15cm) side-toside clearance between enclosures.
The design of the CAEN-Series enclosures separates high-voltage and low-voltage
wiring when the control processor is installed. The low-voltage openings in the
bottom of the enclosure are insulated to protect low-voltage wires from cuts and
scrapes. The airflow through the perforated cover assists in the dissipation of heat.
Refer to the following tables for a listing of dimensions and maximum number of
modules that can be contained in each CAEN-Series enclosure.

Control System Crestron Lighting
Step 4: User Interface Selection
User interfaces (keypads, dimmers, switches, and touchpanels) provide the link
between the control devices in the enclosure and the user. Typically these interfaces
are prominently and strategically located throughout a lighting design.
NOTE: Due to the variety of touchpanels, dimmers, switches and keypads,
specifications for each type are not provided as part of this guide. Instead obtain the
latest copy of the individual operation guide from the Crestron website
(www.crestron.com).
The lighting designer specifies the type of user interface required for each location,
based on function and user preference.
Keypads, touchpanels, dimmers and switches are available in a wide variety of
choices, including number of buttons, color of trim, color of the buttons, back
lighting and even custom engraving on each button.
The entire line of award-winning Crestron touchpanels can be used to enhance the
most demanding design.
C2N-DB Series Wall Panels
The C2N-DB6/8/12-series Decorator Wall Panels are wall-mounted, single-gang
user interfaces that can be part of a Crestron solution. The panels are standard
Cresnet devices providing fingertip control when the control system is properly
programmed using Crestron’s SIMPL Windows, Application Builder, or D3 Pro
software. The number in the product’s name corresponds to the number of buttons on
the panel. Each of these panels is available in three colors: almond, black, and white.
A letter at the end of the product name, ‘A’, ‘B’, or ‘W’, denotes the color; e.g.,
C2N-DB12B is a black, 12-button unit.
Faceplates are not supplied; the wall panels accept decorator style faceplates that can
be obtained in any store selling lighting supplies and accessories, making it easy for
the wall panels to match the appearance of the site’s other switch and outlet styles.
Custom-engraved keys can be designed and obtained by using the Crestron Engraver
software. Version 2.1.0.1 or later is available from the Downloads | Software
Updates section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com).
All buttons on the wall panel are functionally identical and have light emitting diodes
(LEDs) that serve as user feedback indicators. Each LED’s illumination (on/off) is
independently addressable, and is programmable using SIMPL Windows. The
intensity level for the button LEDs can be set from 0 to 100%.

CNX Series Keypads
Crestron keypads are a wall-mounted user interface. The keypads feature oversized
buttons that provide positive feedback. The user can have the ability to control
individual lights or groups of lights and create a predetermined “lighting scene” for
particular activities. Keypads are Cresnet devices and programmable using SIMPL
Windows or the Crestron D3 Pro software. The product name corresponds to the
number of keypad buttons. For example, CNX-B6 is a six-button keypad and a
CNX-B12 is a 12-button keypad.
The CNX-B series keypads have a uniquely stylish shape and faceplates are
available for the most common groupings; single, double, or three gang plate
arrangements. Keypads are available with the following features:
• Available with 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12 buttons.
• Colors include white, almond, or black.
• Metal faceplate options:
- Black Chrome - Brushed Gold
- Polished Black - Polished Gold

Crestron Lighting Control System
Wall Dimmers
The CLW-DIM is a stand-alone wall box dimmer that can also act as a Cresnet
device that reports to a 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, non-polarized 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 1-High, 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
the CLW-DIM, DIMS, & SLVD Operation Guide (Doc. 5995) for more information
on installation and customizing light levels.
The CLW-DIM features a three-position mode selection switch. In the absence of
Cresnet communications, the dimmer can still be used to control lighting.
The CLW-DIMS is similar to the CLW-DIM with the added capability of working
with a slave unit
The CLW-SLVD is a slave unit that when used in conjunction with the CLW-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
CLW-DIMS. The CLW-SLVD does not have a mode selection switch and is not

Derating
In a multi-gang installation, several dimmers are grouped in one horizontal wall box.
When this is the case, the inner heat sink section is removed to permit the installation
of a one-piece multi-gang wallplate. Removing the heat sink reduces the current
carrying capability of the dimmers due to reduced heat dissipation. The following
table provides the derating information for this application.

Switches
The CLW-SW wall box switch can also act as a Cresnet device reporting to a
Crestron control processor. The CLW-SW includes two isolated, non-polarized
Cresnet wires (plus a ground wire) for connecting to a Cresnet system over a twisted
pair wire with shield. In the absence of Cresnet communications, the switch can still
be used to control a load.
Refer to the CLW-SW, CLW-SWS, & CLS-SLVS Installation Guide (Doc. 6134)
for more installation information.
The CLW-SWS is similar to the CLW-SW with the added capability of working
with a slave unit (CLW-SLVS) in a multi-switch / single circuit application.
The CLW-SLVS is a slave unit that when used in conjunction with the CLW-SWS
acts as an additional switch control point in a multi-switch / single circuit
application. It does not connect to a Cresnet system and cannot be used without a
CLW-SWS. The CLW-SLVS does not have a mode selection switch and is not
programmable. It emulates the operation of the CLW-SWS to which it is connected.
The CLW-SW, CLW-SWS, and CLW-SLVS are available in white (designated by
part numbers ending in “W”), almond (designated by part numbers ending in “A”),
and black (designated by part numbers ending in “B”). These switches can be
covered with a decorative faceplate (not supplied).

Control System Crestron Lighting
Touchpanel Selection
CT-1000
TPS-2000L
Crestron touchpanels are graphical user interfaces that provide the user with visual
control and feedback.
Touchpanels are an elegant, efficient and practical solution to room control. A
touchpanel can control lighting, audio and video, HVAC, and security.
Touchpanel pages can provide convenient control of every individual light in the
residence from a single location. The integration of touchpanels and lighting control
is a primary feature of Crestron lighting systems. The designer can create a complex
control environment while presenting the user with easy and intuitive controls.
For example, a "Good Night" button can be programmed to dim the lights, gently
quiet the music, notify the alarm system, and set a nighttime temperature. All with
one touch.
Designed using VT-Pro-e software, these user interfaces can be customized to
provide complete control of the lighting control system and the entire home
automation system.

Crestron touchpanels are available as either wired or wireless units, with screens
from 3.8” diagonal to 15” diagonal. Many Crestron touchpanels also feature buttons
that can be custom engraved and programmed to provide quick access to
programmed functions. The built-in speakers can play .WAV files provided by the
programming.
Step 5: Wiring Plan
The wiring plan includes all enclosures and the interconnecting wiring.
The designer determines the location of the enclosure(s), the route of keypad and
touchpanel connections to the enclosure(s), the route of the interconnecting cable
from the processor to the other enclosure(s), and the high voltage load routes to the
enclosure or dimmer.
Ensure there are enough connectors and power (PAC2 offers 50W) in the main
enclosure for all the user interfaces. Each enclosure filled with dimmers is connected
to the main enclosure and processor using low voltage wire. Dimmer enclosures are
distributed as needed.
Design Guide – DOC. 5999A Lighting Control System Design • 23
Room 5 KP1 – Wall Keypad – Fan Motor Speed CLX-1FAN4
Step 6: Control Processor
The PAC2 has been specifically designed for the Crestron automation enclosure and
the Crestron lighting system, although other Crestron processors can also be used.
The PAC2 can be placed in its own enclosure for simplification of low-voltage
wiring. The PAC2 occupies one module space in single-width enclosures and two
module spaces in double-width enclosures.
24 • Lighting Control System Design Design Guide – DOC. 5999A
Crestron LightingControl System
)
The PAC2 processor provides 50W of power for keypads and touchpanels. Each
keypad in the CNX-B series uses 3-watts, therefore only 15 keypads can be
connected without adding another power supply. Make sure there is sufficient power
in the system design to accommodate all the keypads, touchpanels, voltage drops,
and wire runs. Additional power supplies should not be mounted on CAEN-UMP
plates in an enclosure that contains dimmer units because this introduces low-voltage
in the high-voltage section of the enclosure. If required, an extra power supply,
attached to a CAEN-UMP plate, can be added to a separate CAEN enclosure.
Crestron recommends the C2N-SPWS300 Power Supply; a 300-watt system power
supply designed for large Cresnet control systems. It operates with an input of 100 to
240 VAC, 4A (maximum) and a noise rating less than 150mV. The C2N-SPWS300
provides regulated 24 VDC, 300 W to Cresnet system components. The C2NSPWS300 is capable of delivering a nominal 75 watts of power at 24 volts DC on
any of its eight channels.
The PAC2 connects all the user interfaces:
• Keypads and wall switches
• touchpanels
• contact closures
• emergency switches
• override switches
• backup Cresnet controller input
• output relays
• fault indicator
• computer data port
The PAC2 enables the customer to efficiently control not only the lighting in their
home, but also other systems such as HVAC and security.

Control System Crestron Lighting
The on-board 36MB memory is enhanced with a 4GB expansion slot that supports
off-the-shelf Type II compact flash memory and the IBM Microdrive
hard disk
drive, for on-board storage of program and touchpanel files, room and equipment
profiles, upgrades, databases, and schedules.
Crestron's unique dual bus system, with its high-speed I/O bus architecture, provides
blazing fast throughput, system wide. The two 40Mb/s Y-BUS expansion slots offer
the option of installing any of the CNX-series cards listed in Crestron’s 2003 Product
Catalog, and all C2-series control cards. The 300Mb/s Z-BUS expansion slot is
designed for super high-speed control card applications such as 10/100 Ethernet,
available via Crestron’s single-port C2ENET-1 and dual-port C2ENET-2 Ethernet
cards.
The PAC2 offers eight programmable analog and digital inputs as well as digital
outputs. There are eight normally open relays, isolated with MOV suppression.
The 32 Cresnet connectors that comprise the built-in 8-segment Cresnet hub are
located on the top of the PAC2 (NET A – NET H). When powered by the internal or
external power supply, they expand the number of Cresnet devices that can be
connected to the PAC2. Each group of four connectors can electrically support up to
32 Cresnet devices. When powered by the internal power supply, there is a
maximum of 50 watts (DC) available for all network devices connected to the PAC2.
The LEDs indicate communication on the Cresnet link.
The PAC2 provides external connections for both a back-up processor and
emergency override closure signals. In the absence of Cresnet or in case of a power
failure, a signal is generated to switch power and communication of the Cresnet
system to a back-up processor. When the override connection receives a contact
closure, a signal is passed to the lighting modules via the fifth wire of the
interconnect cable, and the lights are turned on to a programmed preset emergency
level. They remain at this level until that contact closure is opened.
The PAC2 also provides true secure network communications, which is required for
today's corporate networks, automated residence systems, and the Internet. The Dual
Port 10/100 BaseT Ethernet card (C2ENET-2) will support dynamic and static IP
addressing and full duplex TCP/IP and UDP/IP. It offers a WAN port for Internet
and remote-location communications and a LAN port for local in-home use. A builtin firewall delivers network security with the Network Address Translator (NAT)
and router functions. The built-in Web Server uses memory storage on a compact
flash card for remote access and control. Refer to the PAC2 Operations Guide (Doc.
5941) for more detailed information.

Step 7: Network Block Selection
A CAEN-BLOCK, required in each enclosure that does not contain a PAC2
processor. The CAEN-BLOCK provides module connection and Cresnet
communications.
The unit has a left and right connector for communication with the CLX-Series
modules. Refer to CAEN Block Installation Guide (Doc. 5994) for additional
information.
The four passive Cresnet ports provide a convenient way to connect devices and
enclosures together. The power for each Cresnet port comes from the incoming
Cresnet line. Verify that the incoming Cresnet line has sufficient power for all
connected devices.
Two OVERRIDE ports are activated from dry closure switches. When a switch
contact closure is received between the "G" connection and the "L" or "R"
connections, the respective left or right column of modules will set the lights to the

STEP 2: Determine the number and types of modules and terminal blocks
needed to control lights and loads based on the load schedule and
wiring plan.
STEP 3: Determine the number and type of CAEN enclosures required
STEP 4: Determine the number of keypads, wall panels, and touchpanels.
STEP 5: Determine the wiring accessories, cabling and power supplies required.
STEP 6: Determine the number of control processors required.
STEP 7: Determine the number of CAEN-BLOCKs required for all components
and locations.
STEP 8: Determine the number and type of accessory plates required.
STEP 9: Place an order for Crestron items as identified in steps 2-8.
Crestron ships all items to the jobsite for assembly and wiring.
Programming
The lighting system designer finalizes the implementation of the lighting control
system with the Crestron D3 Pro System Programming software package or with
SIMPL Windows for the more advanced Cresnet programmers.
Crestron D3 Pro Software provides all the tools necessary to create a complete
Crestron Lighting System for residential applications. The lighting system includes
the control system program, touchpanel screens and keypad programming,
documentation, and real-time lighting adjustment capabilities. As with all Crestron
software, the D3 Pro software provides extensive right-click and drag-and-drop
functionality, in addition to convenient keyboard shortcuts for frequently used
functions and commands.
D3 Pro is organized into six views of the lighting system, each displaying a program
detail area, a toolbox of devices such as interfaces, fixtures, and modules, and a
system directory of devices arranged by location. You can add a device to your
system simply by selecting it from the toolbox and dragging it to a room in the
system directory. The available devices differ depending on the view, but all the
views have a general toolbox that allows you to add areas and rooms at any time.
Refer to the latest version of the Crestron D3 Pro Reference Guide (Doc. 5998)
available from the Crestron web site (www.crestron.com) for detailed information
