Introduction

Features and Functions

The iLux™ units, CLS-C6RF and CLS-C6MRF, are wall­mounted complete integrated lighting systems that can
function as standalone devices and/or be part of a Crestron®
solution total control system network (Cresnet®). The units
are functionally identical except that the CLS-C6MRF
includes a built-in motion sensor.

CLS-C6MRF with Cover Open, Shown in Almond

Each unit provides automated control of up to six channels
of lighting loads, including incandescent, magnetic low­voltage, neon/cold cathode, and two-wire dimmable
fluorescent. Each unit also provides automated control of up
to six groups of shade and drape controllers for motorized
window treatments, screens, and lifts.

Front panel operation provides manual control of lighting
loads and shade groups as well as access to up to sixteen
scenes (lighting level/shade position combinations).

A built-in IR receiver allows for wireless operation using an
optional infrared remote generating standard RC5
commands; a built-in motion detector (CLS-C6MRF only)
enables automated control based on room occupancy.

Up to 16 Crestron keypads (sold separately) can be used
with each unit for control of rooms that have several
entrances or work areas. Each unit also supports up to eight
additional CLS-C6RF units, enabling systems of up to 54
lighting channels and 54 shade groups.

The CLS-C6RF employs Crestron's infiNET technology to
enable a wireless link to a 2-Series control system. A single
C2N-MNETGW gateway connected to the control system
enables 2-way wireless communications between the iLux
system and the central control system, allowing iLux's
functions to be controlled from touchpanels, RF wireless
remotes, and even computers.

Each unit is available in three colors: almond, black, or
white. The letter at the end of the product name, ‘A’, ‘B’, or
‘W’, denotes the color (e.g., a CLS-C6MRFA is an almond
unit).

Important Notes

Read before installation.

• Codes: Install in accordance with all local and
national electrical codes.

• Wiring: Use copper wire only. For supply
connections, use wires rated for at least 75°C.

• Lighting Load Types: incandescent, magnetic
low voltage, neon/cold cathode, dimmable
2-wire fluorescent, and non-dim lighting
(also: electronic low voltage, 3-wire and 4-wire
fluorescent, and 277V via expansion modules; sold
separately).

• Temperature: The iLux units are designed for use
where temperatures are between 32° to 104°F
(0° to 40°C).

• Wallboxes: The iLux units mount in standard
4-gang wallboxes; 3.5 inches deep, minimum.

• Make certain that power is turned off, and
ensure that there is at least 4.5 inches of open
space above and below the electrical box location
to permit heat dissipation.
