NOTE: For instructions on network wiring, refer to “Appendix B: Network Wiring” on page 21.



NET Port Wiring

When wiring the supplied NET connectors for connection to a Crestron control system or other device on the

Cresnet network, use Crestron certified wire such as CRESNET-NP or CRESNET-P. For instructions on

network wiring, refer to “Appendix B: Network Wiring” on page 21.

When daisy-chaining connections between NET ports, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector, insert the connection into the Cresnet connector, tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.

OVR (Override) Port Wiring

When a connection is applied between the OVR (override) terminals, the modules enter Override mode. The

Crestron GLS-PLS-120/277 phase-loss sensor or any device that provides a dry contact closure can be connected to the supplied OVR connector on the bottom of the cabinet.



Testing

Manual Control

Lighting loads can be manually controlled from the front panel.


NOTE: To disable local control, press the ENABLE button again or wait for two minutes. The red LED beside the button deactivates.

NOTE: The control system program may change the settings if the Override mode is not enabled.

Override Mode

The Override mode overrides the control system program and sets all of the output states to the stored override

values. For instructions on saving override settings, refer to “Save Override Settings” below.

To enable Override mode, press and release the OVR button. The OVR LED flashes slowly.

NOTE: If the Override mode was enabled from an external device (i.e. a contact closure is present on the OVR terminals), the OVR LED flashes quickly. Pressing the OVR button has no effect.

To disable Override mode, press the OVR button again. The OVR LED extinguishes and the outputs return to the states set by the control system program.

NOTE: If override states have not been stored, the factory default override state is all loads on.

Save Override Settings

The state of each output can be saved as an override setting, which can be automatically recalled when the Override mode is enabled.

NOTE: The control system program has a setting that can prevent locally saving the override state. If this setting is enabled, the display shows “Er” when trying to save override states. For more information, refer to the SIMPL

Windows help file.

To save the state of an output as an override setting, press and hold the OVR button for three seconds. The OVR

LED blinks to indicate the new override setting has been stored.

System Operation and Commissioning

This cabinet has been designed as a component of a programmed Crestron system. Refer to “Appendix C: Setting

Module Net IDs” on page 24 for information on system setup. System commissioning by an authorized Crestron

Appendix B: Network Wiring

Check Network Wiring

Use the Right Wire In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire and only Crestron Certified Wire may be used.

Failure to do so may incur additional charges if support is required to identify performance deficiencies because of using improper wire.

Calculate Power

CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Failure to do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty.

CAUTION: Provide sufficient power to the system. Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power

Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the system

( www.crestron.com/calculators ).

When calculating the length of wire for a particular Cresnet run, the wire gauge and the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be connected must be taken into consideration. Use Crestron Certified Wire only. If Cresnet units are to be daisychained on the run, the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be daisychained must be added together to determine the Cresnet power usage of the entire chain. If the unit is home-run from a Crestron system power supply network port, the

Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire run. The wire gauge and the Cresnet power usage of the run should be used in the following equation to calculate the cable length value on the equation’s left side.

Cable Length Equation

Strip and Tin Wire

Add Hubs

L < 40,000

Where: L = Length of run (or chain) in feet

R = 6 Ohms (Crestron Certified Wire: 18 AWG (0.75 MM )) or 1.6 Ohms (Cresnet HP: 12 AWG (4 MM ))

P = Cresnet power usage of entire run (or chain)

Make sure the cable length value is less than the value calculated on the right side of the equation. For example, a Cresnet run using 18 AWG Crestron Certified Wire and drawing 20 watts should not have a length of run more than 333 feet (101 meters). If

Cresnet HP is used for the same run, its length could extend to 1250 feet (381 meters).

NOTE: All Crestron certified Cresnet wiring must consist of two twisted pairs. One twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND conductor and the other twisted pair is the Y conductor and the Z conductor.

When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle.

Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.

Use of a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) is advised whenever the number of

Cresnet devices on a network exceeds 20 or when the combined total length of

Cresnet cable exceeds 3000 feet (914 meters).

Appendix C: Setting Module Net IDs

The following procedure is normally performed by an authorized Crestron representative as part of the System

Commissioning phase. For system wiring and basic testing as described on pages 14 and 18, it is not necessary to

perform this step. Only perform this step if instructed by an authorized Crestron representative, or when replacing modules on a system that have already been commissioned (in the latter case the Net ID should be set to match the

Net ID of the module being replaced).

The Net ID of each module in the cabinet can be changed from the front panel of each module. The Net IDs of each module in the system must be unique.

To set the Net ID using the front panel:

1. Press the recessed SETUP button to enter the Setup mode. The SETUP LED illuminates.

2. As shown in the following diagram, press the left button under the NET ID display to change the left digit of the Net ID or press the right button under the NET ID display to change the right digit of the Net ID number.

Changing the Net ID

3. When the desired Net ID is displayed, press the SETUP button to exit the Setup mode. The SETUP LED extinguishes.

If the SETUP button is not pressed, the Setup mode times out after one minute of inactivity and the Net ID reverts back to its original value.
