Do the following to adjust the minimum dimming level: 

1.

 

Remove the cap from the FLUORESCENT OFF 

THRESHOLD adjustment from the inside of the 

cover (requires removing the cover as shown on 

page 6). 

2.

 

Using a flat-head screwdriver, turn the 

FLUORESCENT OFF THRESHOLD 

adjustment counter-clockwise until it stops. 

3.

 

Set the CLS-C6 so that the light output is on but 

is below the desired minimum level. 

4.

 

Turn the FLUORESCENT OFF THRESHOLD 

adjustment clockwise until the light output is at 

the desired minimum level. 

5.

 

Replace the cap.  

Troubleshooting 

The following table provides corrective action for 

possible trouble situations. If further assistance is 

required, please contact a Crestron customer service 

representative. 

CLS-EXP-DIMU Troubleshooting 

TROUBLE 

POSSIBLE 

CAUSE(S) 

CORRECTIVE 

ACTION 

The load does 

not turn on. 

The controller is 

not working. 

Make sure the 

controller is 

powered on and is 

one of the 

compatible dimmers 

listed in 

“Specifications” on 

page 1. 

No power is 

applied to the 

HOT terminal. 

Check the circuit 

breaker. Check that 

the green POWER 

LED on the inside of 

the unit is lit. 

(Continued in following column) 

CLS-EXP-DIMU Troubleshooting (Continued) 

TROUBLE 

POSSIBLE 

CAUSE(S) 

CORRECTIVE 

ACTION 

The load turns 

on and off but 

does not dim. 

The controlling 

unit is either not a 

dimmer or has 

been set to  

non-dim. 

Verify that the 

dimmer is 

compatible with the 

CLS-EXP-DIMU 

(refer to 

“Specifications” on 

page 1). Verify that 

the controlling 

channel has not 

been programmed 

as non-dim. 

The 

FLUORESCENT 

OFF 

THRESHOLD has 

been set too high. 

Refer to “Set the 

Minimum Dimming 

Level” on page 7. 

The lights flicker 

at certain 

dimming levels. 

Some types of 

loads cannot be 

dimmed below a 

certain level. 

Refer to “Set the 

Minimum Dimming 

Level” on page 7. 

The lights do not 

dim properly. 

An incompatible 

dimmer is being 

used. 

Make sure that the 

dimmer is one of 

those listed in 

“Specifications” on 

page 1. 

There is audible 

noise while 

dimming. 

The load is being 

dimmed in the 

wrong mode. 

Refer to the list of 

load types in the 

table at the top of 

page 7. Check the 

PHASE LED to 

ensure that the load 

is being dimmed in 

the proper way for 

the attached load 

type. If the unit is set 

to Autodetect, and 

the improper mode 

is being used, follow 

the instructions on 

page 7 to override 

the Autodetect 

setting and force the 

unit to the proper 

mode. 

There is a large 

incandescent 

load. 

Some incandescent 

loads can make 

noise when dimmed 

due to the size of the 

filament. Try a 

different lamp 

manufacturer. 

The lights cannot 

be dimmed 

below a certain 

level. 

The 

FLUORESCENT 

OFF 

THRESHOLD has 

been set too high. 

Refer to “Set the 

Minimum Dimming 

Level” on page 7.
