Crestron CLS/CLSI-C6 & CLS/CLSI-C6M iLux Integrated Lighting System
Operations Guide – DOC. 6347G iLux Integrated Lighting System: CLS/CLSI-C6 & CLS/CLSI-C6M • 31
Operation
The CLS-C6 always operates in one of four modes. Setup mode is used to redefine
many of the CLS-C6 settings. Details regarding Setup mode are given in “Setup
Mode” on page 13.
The following sections provide detailed descriptions of Standard mode, Lights mode,
and Shades mode. It is important to have a good understanding of these operating
modes before attempting to take advantage of the extensive features available
through the CLS-C6. Refer also to “Appendix E: Button Functions” on page 72 for
details on button functions.
Standard Mode
Standard mode is the default mode; buttons are typically used to recall scenes,
although they can be redefined to serve other functions.
• By default, the six function buttons across the front panel are simple scene
recall buttons. The buttons can be reprogrammed in Setup mode, or via the
iLux Designer program, to perform different actions.
• The ON button function always recalls the On scene. The typical On scene
is all lights at 100%; however, other values can be set just like any other
scene.
• The OFF button function always recalls the Off scene. The Off scene
always sets all lights to 0%; however, fade time and shade motor behavior
is programmable.
• Whenever all the lighting loads are off (irrespective of how they are turned
off), the air-gap relay opens (after a 2-second delay) to allow servicing of
the lighting loads.
• The up/down button can be defined to be either lights master or shades
master.
⇒ If defined to be lights master, the up/down button ramps the lighting
loads included in the most recently recalled scene up and down. Non-
dim loads are not affected.
⇒ If defined to be shades master, all shade groups are affected. Refer to
“Shades Mode” on page 37 for operating details.
⇒ Using the iLux Designer program, this button may be assigned to
activate the shift function rather than being a lights or shades master.
Pressing the button toggles between upper and lower function sets.
⇒ Using the iLux Designer software, it is also possible to assign this
button as “all lights master,” instead of “last scene master.”
• The six bar graphs indicate current intensity for each of the six lighting
loads.
• The 2-digit display is normally blank, except when a scene recall is in
progress. It then shows the time remaining for lights to reach their target
values.
Daylight Harvesting
The CLS-C6 supports use of a
photocell to automatically reduce
light levels when natural light is
present (daylight harvesting). Each
load can be set for a custom
response to daylight levels or set to
not respond at all.
If a photocell is present, Scenes 1
through 8 (plus the On scene)
automatically utilize daylight
harvesting. Scenes 9 through 16
ignore daylight harvesting at all
times.
When under photocell control, the
load level can change automatically
based on the current photocell level
and the scene setting. When this
automatic behavior is enabled, the
top bar graph LED for that load
blinks.
