Crestron Green Light® Sensor Integration Module
- Provides Cresnet® connectivity for Crestron GLS-series and third-party sensors
- Works with occupancy sensors, photocells, partition sensors, and more
- Provides 24 Volts DC to power one or more sensors
The GLS-SIM is a compact interface device designed to allow Crestron Green Light® sensors (where applicable) to be connected directly to a Cresnet® control network. Cresnet is the communications backbone for Crestron sensors, dimmers, keypads, touchpanels, shade controllers, thermostats, and many other devices. This flexible four-wire bus provides data communications and 24 VDC power for all of the devices on the Cresnet network. The GLS-SIM installs easily at the sensor location, mounting conveniently inside the electrical box or exposed above the ceiling. Wiring connections to the network and sensor are facilitated using miniature screw terminals.
The GLS-SIM is compatible with Crestron GLS-series sensors, as well as with most 24 VDC powered sensors from any manufacturer. Up to 1A @ 24 VDC power is available1 to support multiple sensors in parallel. The GLS-SIM actually includes two sensing inputs, each capable of sensing a contact closure, logic level, or 0-10 VDC analog signal. Setup is simplified using onboard DIP switches to select the sensor type (i.e. occupancy, photocell, partition, etc.) and operating mode (i.e. normally-open or normally-closed).

Bryant University Case Studies
Located in Smithfield, RI, Bryant University is a small but highly respected private university offering degrees in business, math, biology and other arts and sciences. The university began a green initiative which, so far, has been able to reduce the amount of energy used on campus by over 35 percent - a savings of more than $20,000 per year. The schoolis using Crestron occupancy sensors to continue its green initiative.
Mountain Creek Resort Case Studies
The Mountain Creek Ski Resort in Vernon, New Jersey expectsto save approximately $35,000 in energy costs this winter.Given the $38,000 cost for their new Crestron automation system, that's roughly a single year return on investment.
Opelika High School Case Studies
Alabama High School art department uses Crestron lighting control to help students get excited about art and understand lighting and color on an intuitive level.
Solar Decathlon Europe 2010 Case Studies
At the 2010 Solar Decathlon Europe competition in Madrid, student builders from the University of Florida's M.E. Rinker, Sr. School of Building Construction deploy Crestron Green Light® energy management technology in its award-winning sustainable home. Complete environmental system and home automation design features lighting control, occupancy sensors, HVAC control, touchpanel control and much more.

Crestron helps the InterContinental Montréal bring the best new technology to the 1888 structure that houses its conference center
The New York Palace Hotel Case Studies
Nearly 100 years separate three phases of construction at The New York Palace in New York City. The original mansion, built by railroad tycoon Henry Villard in 1882, still stands today as part of this timeless property. But pass through the elegant courtyard and up the grand staircase and you find yourself in a 55-story black tower added to the hotel by Harry and Leona Helmsley in 1981. The Tower rooms have played host to celebrity and royalty alike for over 30 years, but after three decades, the hotel began to show its age. Thus when Northwood Hospitality purchased the hotel last year, the owners initiated a third phase of renovation, together with a technology upgrade, that began with the 167 rooms that make up the top 14 floors of the Tower. Called in to assist with the upgrade, building technology integrator Bill Lally of Mode:Green knew immediately that a Crestron 3-series Control System would be the solution for the rooms. Crestron InfiNET EX wireless protocol allows multiple wireless devices to be connected and managed reliably, even in the most extreme RF environments. Through the gateway, the system controls the room climate, door locks, window shades, audio and lighting.
