Apply power to the line or load and turn on the 

controlling device. The power indicator LED 

lights, indicating that power is being supplied to 

the module. 

4.

 

Replace the cover and cover screws. 

Dimming Mode 

The CLS-EXP-DIMU is capable of automatically 

detecting the attached load type and setting itself for 

Forward Phase (leading edge) or Reverse Phase (trailing 

edge) dimming mode accordingly. In addition, the unit 

can be forced to perform forward or reverse phase 

dimming by overriding the automatic detection. 

Disabling the Autodetect mode should not be 

necessary and is not recommended unless suggested by 

a Crestron technical support representative. 

WARNING

:  

RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL 

INJURY

. Turn off power at the circuit breaker(s) prior to 

changing any switch settings. Changing settings with the 

power on can result in serious personal injury and damage 

to the device. 

The dimming mode can be changed by adjusting the S1 

DIP switches as detailed in the table in the following 

column.

Zero Cross Detection Filter 

The CLS-EXP-DIMU filters to compensate for noise on 

the incoming ac line. This filtering is useful for 

eliminating flickering of the load caused by line noise. If 

necessary, this filtering can be disabled. 

Disabling the zero cross detection filter should not be 

necessary and is not recommended unless suggested by 

a Crestron technical support representative. 

WARNING

:  

RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL 

INJURY

. Turn off power at the circuit breaker(s) prior to 

changing any switch settings. Changing settings with the 

power on can result in serious personal injury and damage 

to the device. 

The function of the zero cross detection filter is set using 

the S2 DIP switch. Refer to the following table when 

setting the zero cross detection filter.

DESCRIPTION 

Off 

Off 

Enables zero cross detection filter 

(default, recommended), which 

provides maximum filtering under 

various line noise conditions 

On 

Off 

Disables zero cross detection filter; 

Allows rapid tracking of the ac line; 

Suitable when using generators for ac 

line power 

Minimum Dimming Level 

Certain types of loads can flicker when dimmed too low. 

Adjust the FLUORESCENT OFF THRESHOLD to 

prevent the CLS-EXP-DIMU from attempting to dim the 

load below a certain level.  

NOTE

:  Some fluorescent ballasts may require that 

voltage levels be maintained above a specified minimum 

level to prevent premature lamp failure. Be sure to set the 

minimum dim level so that the minimum voltage is met at 

all times when the load is on. Consult the ballast 

manufacturer’s documentation for details.
