• Low Voltage Applications: Use with core and coil (magnetic) low voltage transformers only. Do not use any solid-state electronic low voltage transformers. Operation of a low voltage circuit with all lamps inoperative or removed may result in current flow in excess of normal levels. To avoid transformer overheating and premature transformer failure, Crestron recommends the following:

> Do not operate low voltage circuits without operative lamps in place.

> Replace burned-out lamps as quickly as possible.

> Use transformers that incorporate thermal protection or fuse transformer primary windings to prevent transformer failure due to overcurrent.

The following describes the installation of a CLW-DIMEX-P dimmer.

1. Turn power off at the circuit breaker.

2. Wire the device as shown in the following diagrams.

Wireless Communications

The device connects to the Crestron network via the infiNET EX communications protocol.

Use the procedures outlined below to join or leave an infiNET EX network and to verify communications between the device and the control system.

Joining an infiNET EX Network

Before a device can be used in a lighting system, it must first join an infiNET EX network by being acquired by an infiNET EX gateway.

NOTE: A device can be acquired by only one gateway.

1. Put the infiNET EX gateway into Acquire mode from the unit itself or from Crestron

Toolbox, as described in its manual at www.crestron.com/manuals.

NOTE: In an environment where multiple gateways are installed, only one gateway should be in Acquire mode at any time.

2. Place the device into Acquire mode.

a. Tap the top button three times, and then press and hold it down

(tap-tap-tap-press+hold) until the top LEDs on the device flash once (this can take up to 10 seconds).

b. Release the button to start the acquire process. The top LED blinks slowly to show that the device is actively scanning the infiNET EX network.

• The top two LEDs turn on for 5 seconds to show that the device has been successfully acquired to the infiNET EX network.

• The top LED blinks fast to indicate that the device was not successfully acquired by the infiNET EX network. Tap the setup button to acknowledge failure to acquire the infiNET EX network. Ensure the gateway is in Acquire mode and within range before attempting the acquire process again.

3. Once all devices have been acquired, take the gateway out of Acquire mode. Refer to the gateway’s manual for details.

Leaving an infiNET EX Network

To leave an infiNET EX network, put the device into Acquire mode, as described in “Joining an infiNET EX Network” above, when no gateway is in Acquire mode.
