MULTISET - PRESET DIMMING SYSTEM
Description
MultiSet is a revolutionary system comprised of advanced digital wall box dimmers which are designed for
economical and flexible multi-scene, multi-channel control. MultiSet provides flexible five-scene preset dimming
control for up to 30 wall box dimmers and masters, utilizing standard three-way wiring techniques.
Wiring
MultiSet utilizes standard 3-wire + ground wiring techniques. See wiring diagrams at the back of this booklet.
Caution
Caution: Be sure that power to the load being controlled has been disconnected by removing fuse or turning
circuit breaker off. Installing MultiSet dimmers or Masters with power on may expose you to dangerous
voltage and damage the device.
Read Before Beginning Installation
1. All MultiSet devices require a neutral connection (no common neutrals). Each circuit feeding dimmers
and dimmed loads requires a separate neutral. Shared neutrals will result in undesirable flashing of
controlled loads.
2. Use Quiet Electronic (QE) dimmers to control only low-voltage fixtures that have electronic, solid-state
transformers and regular incandescent loads.
3. Use HDF Direct drive dimmers to control fluorescent lighting loads at 120V with approved Lightolier HDF
Electronic Ballasts only.
4. Use Electronic Ballast (EB) Direct Drive Dimmers to control Advance Mark X ® Dimmable Electronic Ballast.
5. Use Energy Savings Inc. (ESI) to control ESI DIM-E Electronic Ballast.
6. 120 volt MultiSet Strap Dimmers (MS), Masters, Switches, and Remotes mount individually or ganged
together and are supplied without faceplates. They accept Lightolier Controls single and multi-gang Compli
Faceplates or standard decorator-style faceplates by others. Faceplates are not provided.
7. MultiSet Heatsink (MH) Dimmers, Masters, Switches, and Remotes incorporate low-profile heatsinks and
are supplied with coordinating, beveled-edge faceplates. They mount side-by-side with no fins broken and do
not need to be derated. They cannot be ganged with Strap devices. When mounting devices with one or both
fins removed, it is necessary to derate the maximum load of the devices, however, this is not recommended.
Refer to derating chart on page 14.
8. MultiSet Dimmers or Switches may be fed individually or in groups, regardless of phase.
9. MultiSet Masters draw approximately one watt and may be fed from any circuit. Multiple masters
may be inter-connected. The total number of dimmers and masters are not to exceed 30. An unlimited number
of channel remotes (MSCR) may be used.
10. Dimmers can be connected to DA or HDF interface and amplifiers. Please consult interface and
amplifier instructions for wiring. Non-dim switches can be connected to MultiSet relay modules for 277V loads.
11. Line voltage must not be supplied by a GFI breaker.
Installation Instructions
MULTISET DIMMERS AND SWITCHES:
Installation and
Operation
1. Before installation, disconnect power to the circuit by removing the fuse or turning the circuit breaker to the
off position.
2. If you’re replacing an existing device with a MultiSet dimmer or remote:
- Remove the faceplate from the existing device.
- Unscrew and remove the device from the wall box.
- Disconnect all wires from the device.
- Using a voltage tester, identify and mark each of the “hot” and “load” wires connected to the device.
3. If using a Compli screwless faceplate (sold separately), before connecting any wires, be sure the faceplate
mounting adapter plate is behind the device, with the alignment tabs facing forward. The tabs should rest
within the centering holes of the aluminum mounting strap.
4. Be sure the MultiSet dimmer or switch is in the “System Off” position. If it is not, press the bottom of device
firmly until it snaps into place. Doing so will cause the “System Off” label at the top of device to become
exposed.
5. Connect the MultiSet dimmer or switch wires to the wall box wires as follows:
- Black to “Hot” (120V AC source)
- White to “Neutral”*
- Red to “Load” (light fixture)
- Yellow to “Remote” (MSCR/M4CR)** Cap yellow if MSCR or M4CR is not used.
- Purple to “Network Connection” (line voltage Class 1)***
6. Be sure the ground wire (bare stranded) is connected to earth ground. (NOTE: Mis-wiring or failure to
connect ground may result in improper operation of the device).
7. Ensure all wire connections are tight and that no bare copper is exposed.
8. Install the device into the wall box, making sure all wires are neatly installed. Using the enclosed mounting
screws, secure the device into the wall box.
9. Install the faceplate.

NOTES:
1) B-Key must use a step down transformer (12-volt) unless wired to the BCC.
2) OSPS-SYS for use with OSC or OSW sensors. All loads controlled by dimmer.
3) To activate a button function from the low-voltage wiring, a simple momentary closure (contact) is
required. This wiring connection must be from the button control wire (ex: red wire for the ON button)
to the button common wire (brown). To ensure reliable operation, this closure should be of the dry
contact type.
4) For buttons A–L, the closure duration should be between 50 and 300 milliseconds. On Ellipse ® Series
Masters (ex: MS5AVES), the ON and OFF button closures should be between 50 and 300 milliseconds.
The RAISE and LOWER button closures must be at least 50 milliseconds. On Classic series masters
(ex: MS5AV), the ON and OFF button closures must be at least 50 milliseconds.
5) The +5V wire (grey) should only be connected to the devices shown in the table above. Connecting this
wire to any other device may damage the master.
6) Cap off any unused (N/A) wires.

Built-in IR
Receiver
Ellipse ® Series 5-Scene Masters models have an integrated Infrared (IR) receiver that allows
them to receive IR commands from a remote control unit (CLMIRT, CLMIRTES).
The CLMIRTES infrared transmitter is capable
of operating over an unobstructed range of
approximately 25 feet. Within this range, scenes
can be selected, raised and lowered, and lighting
may be turned On and Off using the handheld
remote transmitter. In addition, the CLMIRTES
is capable of controlling up to 4 different
MultiSet or MultiSet Pro control station groups.
Note: This system is based on line-of-sight operations.
Therefore, the receiver must be able to
“See” the transmitter. Any obstruction between
the transmitter and receiver may adversely affect
the performance of the unit.

Possible Solution
• Linear lamps are particularly sensitive to the correct
grounding of the ballast to the fixture. Verify proper
ground wire installation.
• Control device minimum set point adjusted too low.
Try raising slightly.
• Lamps not seated properly in lamp sockets.
Reseat lamps.
• To insure control is operating properly, connect an
incandescent lamp load across the red dimming wire
and white neutral wire at the wallbox. Control should
dim the lamp properly.
• Possible loose, shorted or broken wires between
lamp and ballast. Verify wiring is correct and not
damaged.
• Call Advance at (800) 372-3331 and ask for
applications support.

Ganging and Derating
HEATSINK DEVICES
No Fins Broken – Separate Wallboxes
Devices of matching depth can be mounted next to each
other in separate single gang wallboxes. The boxes must
be spaced to the dimensions shown in Figure H. Allow 6”
of clearance above and below the dimmers.
Note: For Precision Dimmers add 1/8” to each horizontal
dimension shown in Figure 1. Faceplate depth: 5/8”.
No Fins Broken – Multi-gang Wallbox
When mounting devices with no fins removed, use Table A
to determine what size multi-gang wallbox is required.
Note:
1. When installing a even number of small devices, only
use wallbox size listed in Table A and space one
additional box 3/4” away from the others.
2. When combining small and large devices, be certain
to position a small device at one end and a large
device at the other end of the multi-gang box.
3. Mount dimmers with heatsink fins aligned vertically.
Fins Broken – Multi-gang Heatsink Wallbox
When mounting devices with fins broken in multi-gang
boxes, follow information in Table B to determine the
correct wallbox size.
Fins Broken – Derating
When mounting devices with one or both fins removed it is
necessary to derate the maximum load of the devices in
accordance with the FINS BROKEN–DERATING CHART in
Table C.
