Crestron electronic CLS-EXP-DIMFLV User Manual

CLS-EXP-DIMFLV

Functional Summary

The CLS-EXP-DIMFLV enables the expansion of the
Crestron
Crestron lighting dimmers to support 120 - 277 Volt loads
up to 16 Amps. It allows any output channel of a
compatible dimmer or switch to control a fully loaded
circuit of 0-10 VDC fluorescent ballasts
lighting (incandescent, HID, magnetic low voltage
(MLV), electronic low voltage (ELV), neon/cold cathode,
and fluorescent ballast) up to 16 amps, and motors rated
up to 1/2 HP @ 120 Volts, 1 HP @ 230/277 Volt s .

The CLS-EXP-DIMFLV is designed for mounting to a
vertical surface. Conduit knockouts are provided on the
bottom and lower sides. All connections are made via
screw terminals behind the front cover.

1. Ballasts must comply with the specifications for control by DC

2. CLW-Series devices must have a dedicated neutral.

3. The CLS-EXP-DIMFLV can only be controlled by forward-phase
