Functional Summary 

The CLS-EXP-DIM enables the expansion of the 

Crestron

®

 iLux

®

 integrated lighting system and other 

Crestron lighting dimmers to support 120, 230, and 277 

volt loads up to 16 amps. It allows any output channel of 

a compatible dimmer to dim a fully loaded circuit of 

incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, 2-wire dimmable 

fluorescent, or neon/cold cathode lighting. It is also 

compatible with CLW-Series

1

 in-wall dimmers and most 

CLX-Series lighting control modules

2

The CLS-EXP-DIM is designed for mounting to a vertical 

surface and can be installed in a space used for 

environmental air as defined in NEC

®

 Article 300.22(C). 

Conduit knockouts are provided on the bottom and lower 

sides. All connections are made via screw terminals 

behind the front cover. 

 

Works with Crestron iLux (CLS(I)-C6), CLW

1

CLX Series, GLX-DIM6, and DIN-1DIMU4 

dimmers 

 

Emulates the characteristics of the dimmer that is 

controlling it  

 

Up to five expansion modules can be connected 

to a single iLux dimmer channel  

 

Supports 120, 230, and 277 volt LED; 

incandescent; NCC; MLV; and 2-wire dimmable 

fluorescent loads  

 

Can be installed in an air-handling space

3

 

 

Includes threshold adjustment for setting 

minimum fluorescent dimming level  

 

Built-in air gap relay at the output 

CLS-EXP-DIM Physical View 

 

1.

 

CLW-Series devices must have a dedicated neutral. 

2.

 

The CLS-EXP-DIM can only be controlled by forward-phase 

dimmer modules. It is not compatible with the CLX(I)-1DELV4.
