Ordering a Crestron Lighting Control System
Hardware
These are the steps for ordering a Crestron lighting control system, regardless of the size. Each system and module
contains the appropriate installation literature and operation guide.
Order a lighting system by following the steps below:
STEP 1: Survey all controlled lights and loads.
STEP 2: Determine the number and types of control modules and terminal blocks needed to control lights and loads
based on the load schedule and wiring plan.
STEP 3: Determine the number and type of automation enclosures required.
STEP 4: Determine the number of control processors and related accessories required.
STEP 5: Determine the number and types of keypads, wall panels, iLux devices, infiNET wireless devices, shade/
drape controllers, and touch screens.
STEP 6: Determine the wiring accessories, cabling and power supplies required.
STEP 7: Place an order for Crestron items as identified
Crestron ships all items to the job site for assembly and wiring.
NOTE: If engraving is desired on infiNET devices, IT MUST BE SPECIFIED UPON ORDER. Due to UL restrictions,
the button caps cannot be replaced in the field. Therefore, only new units may be engraved before they leave the
Crestron factory.
Crestron Control Cable
The Cresnet bus is the communications backbone for Crestron touch screens, keypads, expansion modules, tuners,
and more. Cresnet is a simple, yet flexible 4-wire network that provides bidirectional communication and 24 volts
power for Cresnet devices. With cable lengths up to 1524 m, the Cresnet wiring topology allows almost limitless
wiring configurations.
Crestron offers Cresnet control cable in three variations. Within a single jacket, Cresnet and Cresnet-P furnish one
pair 1.02 mm for 24 Vdc and GND, and one twisted pair 0.644 mm with shield for control data. Cresnet-DM is
designed specifically for use with Crestron CLW-series wall box dimmers and switches, providing one twisted pair
0.644 mm with shield for data only (no power).
Programming
The lighting system designer finalizes the implementation of the lighting control system with the Crestron D3 Pro
System Programming software package or with SIMPL Windows for the more advanced programmers. Crestron
D3 Pro Software provides all the tools necessary to create a complete Crestron Lighting System for residential
applications. The lighting system includes the control system program, touch screens screens and keypad
programming, documentation, and real-time lighting adjustment capabilities. As with all Crestron software, the
D3 Pro software provides extensive right-click and drag-and-drop functionality, in addition to convenient keyboard
shortcuts for frequently used functions and commands. Refer to the Crestron website for more information on
D3 Pro.
