CLS-EXP-DIMU
Functional Summary
The CLS-EXP-DIMU enables the expansion of Crestron
®
iLux
®
Integrated Lighting System (CLS-C6 Series) and
other Crestron lighting dimmers to allow dimming of both
forward and reverse phase type loads. Supported loads
include LED,
1
electronic low-voltage, magnetic low-
voltage, neon/cold cathode, incandescent, or 2-wire
dimmable fluorescent. A single model supports 120, 230,
or 277 volt loads up to 16 amps.
The CLS-EXP-DIMU simplifies installation by
autodetecting the dimmable load type connected to it and
selecting the appropriate operating mode to control that
load. Reverse Phase (trailing edge) mode supports
incandescent and electronic low-voltage load types, while
Forward Phase (leading edge) mode handles magnetic
low-voltage, neon, and other inductive load types.
Any output channel of the iLux system can be used to
control the CLS-EXP-DIMU to dim a fully loaded circuit.
It is also compatible with CLW-Series
2
in-wall dimmers
and select CLX-Series lighting control modules.

The
metal enclosure is designed for mounting to a vertical
surface
4
and can be installed in an environmental
air-handling space above a suspended ceiling. Conduit
knockouts are provided on the bottom and lower sides.
All connections are made via screw terminals behind the
front cover.

2.
CLW-Series device must have a dedicated neutral.
3.
Compatible only with forward-phase dimming modules.
4.
Must be oriented upright, mounted to a vertical surface, with
6 in (153 mm) minimum spacing above and below for proper
ventilation and heat dissipation.
