NOTE: The two preset levels are noted as Preset 1-High
and Preset 1- Low. “Preset 1-High” is usually used for
turning lights on to full brightness while preset “Preset 1-
Low” is usually used for turning the lights off. Although
“Preset 1-High” and “Preset 1-Low” are usually used for
“On” and “Off” respectively, the light level for each
preset can be customized by the user. Refer to “Operating
Button and Switch” on page 4 for more information on
customizing light levels.
The CLW-DIM1RF features a three-position mode
selection switch. Refer to “Operating Button and Switch”
on page 5 for more information. In the absence of Cresnet
communications, the dimmer can still be used to control
lighting.
The CLW-DIMS1RF (-DIMS1RF) is similar to the -
DIM1RF with the added capability of working with a
slave unit (CLW-SLVD1RF) in a multi-switch / single
circuit application.
The CLW-SLVD1RF (-SLVD1RF) is a slave unit that
when used in conjunction with the -DIMS1RF acts as an
additional dimmer control point in a multi-dimmer /
single circuit application. It does not connect to a Cresnet
system and cannot be used without a -DIMS1RF. The
-SLVD1RF does not have a mode selection switch and is
not programmable. It emulates the operation of the
-DIMS1RF to which it is connected.

Operating Button and Switch
The -DIM1RF, -DIMS1RF, and -SLVD1RF have one
large pushbutton. The single button may be pushed at the
top or bottom to perform certain functions. The -DIM1RF
and -DIMS1RF also have a three-position mode selection
switch. The function of the pushbutton is determined by
the position of the mode selection switch. Refer to the
following diagram.
NOTE: The -SLVD1RF does not have a mode selection
switch. It will act in the same mode as the -DIMS1RF.
Buttons of CLW-DIM1RF, -DIMS1RF, and -SLVD1RF
Button
Mode Selection Switch
(-DIM1RF & -DIMS1RF Only)
OFF
When the mode selection switch is in the “OFF” position,
the pushbutton will not have any function and the load is
disconnected from the power source. This must be used
when changing light bulbs to ensure that the load is fully
disconnected from power.
ADJ
When the mode selection switch is in the “ADJ” position,
tapping the top of the button set the light to the Preset
1-Hi level. Tapping the bottom of the button will set the
light to the Preset 1-Lo level.
Pressing the button on the bottom will ramp the light level
down until it reaches 0%, or until the button is released.
Pressing the button on the top will ramp the light level up
until it reaches 100%, or until the button is released.
PRE
NOTE: Before storing a preset, the lighting must be
adjusted to the desired level while in the ADJ mode.
When the switch is in the PRE position, it is in the preset
mode and can be used to recall and/or store preset lighting
levels. The pushbutton is used to recall and/or store the
“Preset 1-High” and “Preset 1-Low” presets. Pressing and
releasing the pushbutton will fade to the preset lighting
level over a preset amount of time*. Tapping the
pushbutton while the light is fading will cause the light
level to “jump” directly to the preset without fading.
Pressing and holding the a button until the LED flashes
will store the current lighting level.
* The preset fade time can only be adjusted through Crestron
programming software.
To store preset values for “Preset 1-High” and “Preset 1-
Low”; while in the PRE mode, recall the lighting level to
be changed. Switch to the ADJ mode and adjust the
lighting to the desired level. Move the mode selection
switch to PRE. Press and hold the pushbutton until the
LED flashes to store the new preset value.
NOTE: If a new preset value for “Preset 1-High” is
lower than the stored value for “Preset 1-Low”, the
previously stored value for “Preset 1-Low” becomes
“Preset 1-High”. Similarly, if a new preset value for
“Preset 1-low” is higher than the value stored for “Preset
1-High”, the previously stored value for “Preset 1-High”
becomes “Preset 1-Low”.
NOTE: The default preset light values for each preset
are:
• Preset 1-High: 100%
• Preset 1-Low: 0%
NOTE: The device may be warm to the touch during
operation. This is normal.
Restoring Default Settings
To restore the dimmer’s default settings for lighting
levels, preset fade time (two seconds), and ramp time
(five seconds), move the mode selection switch to the
PRE position. While holding the pushbutton, move the
mode selection switch to the ADJ position and back to the
PRE position. Release the pushbutton. The LED will flash
to confirm that the default values have been restored.
