Setup
Network Wiring
When wiring the network, consider the following:
• Use Crestron Certified Wire.
• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
• Provide sufficient power to the system.
CAUTION: 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
(http://www.crestron.com/calculators
).
For networks with 20 or more devices, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality.
For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” on page 11.
Installation Configurations
The following figures illustrate five installation configurations and include brief descriptions of the rationale behind
each one.
NOTE: The power usage requirements on the local devices network is different from that described above. The
CLS-C6 provides 24 Vdc power for up to four keypads and/or shade controllers on the local device network. An
additional power supply is required to support more than four devices. Also, each shade controller requires its own
additional power supply.

Method 1: Standalone CLS; Most
common way.
Why? Simplest way to control up
to six lighting loads and six shade
control groups.
No control system required.
Method 2: Primary CLS with
multiple secondary CLS units.
Why? Large room with more than
six lighting loads or shade groups.
No control system required.
Scene recall and master dimmers
affect entire room. Can still adjust
each circuit individually. For
details on room combining, refer
to Appendix E in the Crestron
CLS/CLSI-C6 & CLS/CLSI-C6M
iLux Lighting System Operations
Guide (Doc. 6347).
