Crestron clw-dim1 dims1 slvd1 User Manual

 

CLW-DIM1, DIMS1, & SLVD1(W/A/B) 

correct the interference by one or more of the following 
measures: 

  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 

  Increase the separation between the equipment and 

receiver. 

  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit 

different from that to which the receiver is connected. 

  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV 

technician for help. 

•  Codes: Install in accordance with all local and 

national electrical codes. 
 
Alternate wiring methods may be used for the 
Class 2 wiring connection. The 2002 National 
Electrical Code (Article 725-55) prohibits Class 
2 conductors of the -DIM1, -DIMS1, and  
-SLVD1 to occupy the same outlet box as the 
power conductors. The exception is Part D of 
Section 725.55 of the 2002 National Electrical 
Code, which allows a device’s power conductors 
to be installed near (0.25 inch minimum spacing) 
associated Class 2 conductors in the same outlet 
box. Consult the 2002 National Electrical Code 
Handbook and your local electrical inspector 
before proceeding. 
 
Do not use the supplied butt-splice connectors if 
the Class 2 conductors are to be installed in the 
wallbox with the power conductors. Use 
approved connectors (supplied by others) to 
make Class 2 connections inside the wallbox.

:  TO REDUCE THE RISK OF 

OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE 
TO OTHER EQUIPMENT, DO NOT INSTALL 
TO CONTROL A RECEPTACLE OR A 
MOTOR OPERATED APPLIANCE (i.e. BATH 
FAN). 

•  Wiring: Use copper wire only. For supply 

connections, use wires rated for at least 75°C. 

•  Lamp Type: The -DIM1, -DIMS1, and -SLVD1 

are designed for use with permanently installed 
incandescent, magnetic low voltage, or tungsten-
halogen only.  

•  Temperature: The -DIM1, -DIMS1, and -SLVD1 

are designed to be used where temperatures are 
between 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C). 

•  Wallboxes: Devices mount in standard 

wallboxes. For easy installation, Crestron 

recommends using 3 ½” deep wallboxes. Several 
devices can be installed in one wall box 
(multigang). This requires the removal of side 
sections (refer to diagram on page 4) and the 
derating of the dimming device. For a smooth 
appearance, one-piece multigang faceplates (not 
supplied) can be installed. 

•  Other Switch Devices: Mechanical 3- or 4-way 

switches will not work with the -DIM1, -DIMS1, 
or -SLVD1. 

•  Spacing: If mounting one device above another, 

leave at least 4 ½” vertical space between them. 

•  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. 

In multigang installations, several controls are grouped 
horizontally in one wallbox. For a smooth appearance, 
one-piece multigang faceplates (not supplied) can be 
installed. 

1.  When combining controls in a wallbox, remove 

inner side sections prior to wiring (refer to the 
following figure).
