Crestron Green Light
DIN Rail Four Channel Dimmer:
DIN-1DIM4

Introduction

The DIN-1DIM4 is a DIN rail mounted lighting control module with four
channels of dimming. A single model supports both 120 and 220-277
Volt electronic and magnetic low-voltage, incandescent, neon/cold
cathode, 2-wire dimmable fluorescent, and non-dimmable lighting loads
up to 5 Amps per channel, 10 Amps total.

Features and Functions

• Four channels of dimming

• 120 to 277 Volt 50/60 Hz operation

• Selectable non-dim mode

• Master air-gap relay

• Override input

• Cresnet

• Setup via front panel or software

• Programmable functionality via DIN-AP2

®

communications

• 12M wide DIN rail mounting

DIN Rail 4-Channel Dimmer Crestron DIN-1DIM4

Phase-Synchronous Detection Circuitry

Crestron® proprietary zero cross filter technology provides superior
immunity to noise on the power line, reducing lamp flicker and
compensating for fluctuations in line voltage and frequency.

Master Air-Gap Relay

When all four channels are turned fully off, the internal master relay
automatically opens providing air-gap isolation to allow safe servicing
and changing of light bulbs on all four controlled circuits.

Override Input

An override input is provided to allow an external contact closure to
momentarily override the control system program and set each channel
output to its override preset level. Levels can be adjusted and saved
locally from the front panel, or remotely via software.

DIN Rail Installation

The DIN-1DIM4 is designed to snap onto a standard DIN rail for
installation in a wall mount enclosure. Wiring connections are made
using screw terminals positioned along the bottom, clearly accessible
from the front for easy installation and servicing. All setup controls and
indicators are positioned on the center front panel. When installed in an
enclosure utilizing 45 mm cutouts, the DIN-1DIM4’s front panel stays
accessible while the connections are concealed.

Cresnet®

The DIN-1DIM4 communicates with a DIN-AP2 2-Series Automation
Processor, or other Crestron 2-Series control system, via the Cresnet
control network. A pair of Cresnet ports is provided on the DIN-1DIM4
allowing for easy daisy-chaining of several DIN Rail Series automation
control modules.

the NOTE following these footnotes.

2. Crestron 2-Series control systems include the AV2 and PRO2. Consult the latest
Crestron Product Catalog for a complete list of 2-Series control systems.

3. Unit dissipates significant heat when fully loaded and should be mounted in an
enclosure that is sufficiently ventilated to maintain an ambient temperature not
exceeding 40º C (104º F). Maintain 100 mm (4 inches) minimum spacing above
and below for proper ventilation and heat dissipation, 150 mm (6 inches) spacing
recommended.
