CLW-DIM1, DIMS1, & SLVD1(W/A/B)

Prewire for Master Application

Each device has two Class 2 low voltage wires (plus a

ground wire) that provide a Cresnet connection over

shielded twisted-pair to a Crestron control system. These

wires are routed to the bottom of the device for

connection outside of the wallbox. The low voltage wires

are pulled from each device location to the Crestron

control system or a Crestron connection block device. Use

#22 AWG, twisted, shielded, 2-conductor wire. Wiring

can be daisy chained, T-tapped, or home run back to the

control system. Refer to the following wiring diagram.

Wiring Diagram of CLW device to Cresnet

NOTE: The GRAY (Cresnet) wires are not polarized.

These wires can be connected to either the Y or Z line on

a Cresnet port.

NOTE: The BLACK wire (Cresnet ground) should not

be grounded with the GREEN (Ground) wire on the

-DIM1/-DIMS1.

NOTE: Crestron recommends using Cresnet-DM cable

for connecting the -DIM1 and -DIMS1 to the Cresnet

network.

Installation

NOTE: The -DIMS1 must be installed in the same

wallbox that contains the connections to the load.

NOTE: The -DIM1, -DIMS1, and -SLVD1 require a

neutral wire for operation. If no neutral is present, contact

a licensed electrician for installation or contact Crestron

Customer Service for alternative wiring options.

WARNING: Turn off power at the circuit breaker.

Installing with power on can result in serious personal

injury and damage to the device.

NOTE: New installations should be checked for short

circuits prior to installing the -DIM1, -DIMS1, or

-SLVD1. With power off, close the circuit and restore

power. If the lights do not work or a breaker trips, check

and correct the wiring or fixture (if necessary). Install the

-DIM1, -DIMS1, or -SLVD1 only when the short is no

longer present. The warranty is void if the -DIM1,

-DIMS1, or -SLVD1 is installed and operated with a

shorted load.

1. Turn power off at the circuit breaker.

2. If installing multiple dimmers (-DIM1 or

-DIMS1), note the serial number on each device

and make sure they are being installed in the

proper location.

3. Pull Class 2 low voltage wires through a hole in

the drywall located outside of the electrical box,

to the Crestron control system or a Crestron

connection block device. Leave wires outside of

the wallbox for connection to the -DIM1 or -

DIMS1.

NOTE: Alternate wiring methods may be used for the

Class 2 wiring connection. Refer to section 725-55, Part

D of the 2002 National Electric Code.

4. Wire the device for the appropriate application.

Choose either “CLW-DIM1 / CLW-DIMS1

Wiring” or “CLW-DIMS1 with CLW-SLVD1

Wiring”, shown on this page and the following

page.

NOTE: Alternative wiring methods can be obtained from

the Dealer/Tech Resources | Design Center section of the

Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com/dealer-

tech_resources/design_center/hot_design_tips_and_

diagrams/tech_sales_tips/).

CLW-DIM1 / CLW-DIMS1 Wiring

NOTE: The -DIM1 and -DIMS1 require a neutral wire

for operation. If no neutral is present, contact a licensed

electrician for installation or contact Crestron customer

service for alternative wiring options.

The following wiring diagram illustrates installation of

the -DIM1 or -DIMS1.
