NET Port Wiring
When wiring the supplied NET connectors for connection to a Crestron control system or other device on the Cresnet network, use Crestron certified wire such as CRESNET-NP or CRESNET-P.
To ensure optimum performance over the full range of your installation topology, use Crestron certified wire. Failure to do so may incur additional charges if support is required to identify performance deficiencies because of using improper wire.
When daisy-chaining connections between NET ports, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector, insert the connection into the Cresnet connector, and tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.
POWER Port Wiring
Low voltage (24 VDC) power must be supplied to the modules either internally via devices connected to the NET port or externally via a Cresnet power supply connected to the POWER port.
To power the modules internally from line power, install a jumper from the INT pin on the supplied POWER connector to the EXT pin on the POWER connector as shown in the following diagram.
Providing Cresnet Power Internally

When a lighting module is powered from line power, the module's PWR LED will illuminate.
To power the modules externally from a Cresnet 24 VDC power supply, connect the external power supply to the EXT and G pins on the POWER supplied connector as shown in the following diagram.
Providing Cresnet Power Externally

When properly connected and receiving 24 VDC power externally, the green LED next to the MODULES port will light.
When a lighting module is powered from a Cresnet power supply in the absence of line power, the module's PWR LED will flash.
OVERRIDE Port Wiring
Low-voltage input devices such as the Crestron GLS-PLS-120/277 phase-loss sensor or any device that provides a dry contact closure can be connected to the supplied OVERRIDE connector on the bottom of the cabinet.
Testing
Manual Control
A lighting module can be manually controlled from its front panel.
GLXP-SW and GLXP-HSW Modules:
The state of each output can be manually controlled from the front panel.
To toggle the output between off and on, tap the appropriate ON/OFF button. The corresponding LED illuminates and the output state is shown on the NET ID display (“oF” for off, “On” for on) for two seconds after the button is released.
NOTE: The control system program may change the settings if the Override mode is not enabled.
GLXP-DIMFLV8 Modules:
The lighting level of each of the outputs can be manually controlled from the front panel.
To toggle the light between off and 100% (on), tap an output's ON/OFF button. The corresponding LED illuminates and the output level is shown on the NET ID display ("oF" for off, "On" for on) for two seconds after the button is released.
To ramp the lighting level up or down (until it reaches a limit), press and hold the output's ON/OFF button. To change the ramp direction, release the output's ON/OFF button, then press and hold it again. The corresponding LED illuminates and the output level is shown on the NET ID display as a percentage (01-99) for two seconds after the button is released.
NOTE: The control system program may change the settings if the Override mode is not enabled.
Override Mode
The Override mode overrides the control system program and sets all of the output states to the stored override values. For instructions on saving override settings, refer to “Save Override Settings” below.
To enable Override mode, press and release the OVR button. The OVR LED flashes slowly.
NOTE: If the Override mode was enabled from an external device (i.e. a contact closure is present on the OVERRIDE terminals), the OVR LED will flash quickly. Pressing the OVR button has no effect.
To disable Override mode, press the OVR button again. The OVR LED extinguishes and the outputs return to the states set by the control system program.
NOTE: If override states have not been stored, the factory default override state is all loads on.
Save Override Settings
The state of each output can be saved as an override setting, which can be automatically recalled when the Override mode is enabled.
NOTE: The control system program has a setting that can prevent locally saving the override state. If this setting is enabled, the display shows “Er” when trying to save override states. For more information, refer to the SIMPL Windows help file.
To save the state of all of the outputs as an override setting, press and hold the OVR button for three seconds. The OVR LED blinks to indicate the new override settings have been stored.
System Operation and Commissioning
This cabinet has been designed as a component of a programmed Crestron system. System commissioning by an authorized Crestron representative must be performed to ensure system operation.

Appendix A: Setting Module Net IDs
The following procedure will normally be performed by an authorized Crestron representative as part of the System Commissioning phase. For system wiring and basic testing as described on pages 5 and 11, it is not necessary to perform this step. Only perform this step if instructed by an authorized Crestron representative, or when replacing modules on a system that have already been commissioned (in the latter case the Net ID should be set to match the Net ID of the module being replaced).
The Net ID of each module in the cabinet can be changed from the front panel of each module. The Net IDs of each module in the system must be unique.
To set the Net ID using the front panel:
-
Press the recessed SETUP button to enter the Setup mode. The SETUP LED illuminates.
-
As shown in the following diagram, press the left button under the NET ID display to change the left digit of the Net ID or press the right button under the NET ID display to change the right digit of the Net ID number.
Changing the Net ID

- When the desired Net ID is displayed, press the SETUP button to exit the Setup mode. The SETUP LED extinguishes.
If the SETUP button is not pressed, the Setup mode will time out after one minute activity and the Net ID will revert back to its original value.
