The Crestron® 2-Feed, 8-Dimmer Terminal Block and
Module (CLT-2DIM8 and CLX-2DIM8, respectively),
are considered a single entity and must be used together.
They ship separately to permit termination of the field
wiring to the CLT-2DIM8 prior to installation of the
CLX-2DIM8, as described in this guide. They can be
mounted in any Crestron Automation Enclosure (CAENSeries Enclosures). The terminal block is designed to
terminate two circuit feeds (LINE and NEUTRAL) and
distribute the controlled circuits (LOAD) to the fixtures.
The module connects to the terminal block and performs
dimming control of eight incandescent, magnetic low
voltage, neon, cold cathode, or dimmable 2-wire
fluorescent lighting loads. The maximum load is 16 amps
for any controlled circuit, limited to 16 amps total for
circuits 1 through 4 and 16 amps total for circuits 5
through 8. The unit requires 120VAC 50/60 Hz, 1 phase
input voltage. An oversize heat sink dissipates heat
efficiently. There are LEDs on the module to indicate
communication to a Cresnet
module, and output power to the load.
NOTE: The two input lines must be the same phase or
split phase.

and side-by-side in the center of double-wide enclosures.
When installing modules and terminal blocks in a doublewide enclosure, be sure to invert units on the right side so
that they can be properly wired. Refer to the illustrations
shown in the next column when considering the location
of terminal blocks and modules within an enclosure.
NOTE: Modules and terminal blocks must be installed
into the lowest available spaces and continue toward the
top of the enclosure.
The terminal block and module must be mounted into a
Crestron Automation Enclosure by a licensed electrician,
in accordance with all national and local codes.
CAUTION: This equipment is for indoor use only and
needs to be air-cooled. Mount in a well-ventilated area.
The ambient temperature must be 32°F to 104°F (0°C to
40°C). The relative humidity must be 0% to 90% (noncondensing).
Terminal blocks are installed along the left side of singlewide enclosures and along the outside edges (left and
right sides) of double-wide enclosures. Modules are
installed along the right side of single-wide enclosures

NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, the lighting system
specified in this guide is modular, requiring assembly in
the field by a licensed electrician, in accordance with all
national and local codes.
If you require an assembled UL Listed panel, Crestron
offers this service through its UL Listed panel shop. This
includes complete in factory system configuration and
assembly by Crestron for an additional fee.
Terminal Block Installation and Field
Wiring
NOTE: Both left-side and right-side adhesive wiring
labels are provided. The left-side labels are used in both
single and double-wide enclosures. The right-side labels
are only used in double-wide enclosures.
1. Remove the backing from the left or right
adhesive wiring label.
2. Apply the adhesive label by aligning the holes in
the label with the holes on the Crestron
Automation Enclosure where the terminal block
is to be mounted. The wiring label lies beneath
the terminal block as shown in the two wiring
diagrams on this page.
3. Use the two supplied self-tapping pan Phillips
screws (8B x ¼ length) to secure the terminal
block to the Crestron Automation Enclosure.
CAUTION: Bypass jumpers are provided to allow
testing of circuits and to protect the module during
installation. When properly secured by five screws,
each of the two jumpers on the black and red sections
of the terminal block shorts the LINE in to DIM out
so that the circuit is energized. Do not remove any
bypass jumpers until all feed and load wiring has
been completed, the circuit has been tested for
electrical faults, and the module has been installed.
Refer to “Module Installation” on next page.
Furthermore, the two jumpers on the white sections
of the terminal block tie the neutral ins to the neutral
outs. These jumpers should never be removed.
5. Grounding terminal blocks are available in the
cabinet for termination of ground wires. Tighten
to 35 in-lbs. (14 – 10 AWG), 40 in-lbs.
(8 AWG), or 45 in-lbs. (6 – 4 AWG).
6. Test each circuit for electrical faults by turning
on each of the circuit breakers, checking that the
breakers do not trip, and that power is delivered
to the proper loads.

4. With the circuit breakers turned off, connect the
circuit feed (LINE and NEUTRAL) and
controlled circuit (LOAD) wires to the terminal
block per the markings provided on the wiring
label (as shown in the diagrams on this page).
Terminal blocks accept one 14 - 10 AWG wire.
Wires should be stripped to ½ inch. Tighten
terminal blocks to 9 in-lbs.
CAUTION: Module contains electrostatic sensitive
devices (ESDs); unit must be handled from metal chassis
– do not touch PC board or components.
NOTE: Modules are to be installed after enclosure has
been completely wired. Refer to the terminal block
installation procedure on page 2 for details.
1. Use the four supplied self-tapping pan Phillips
screws (8B x ¼ length) to secure the module to
the enclosure.
2. As shown in the wiring diagrams (next column),
connect the wires from the module to the
terminal block. Each wire exits the module
directly in line with, and is the same color as, the
terminal to which it should be connected. Wires
are pre-stripped to ½ inch. Tighten to 9 in-lbs.
3. If the module is being installed above another
module within the enclosure, attach the supplied
module interconnect cable between the two
modules. The illustration below depicts the area
within a double-wide enclosure where the
corners of four modules meet.
NOTE: One wire on the module interconnect cable
may be a different color from the rest. The color has
no bearing on its orientation during installation.
