interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

DIN Rail Universal Dimmer:
DIN-1DIMU4
Introduction
The DIN-1DIMU4 is a four channel universal lighting control module
designed to support dimming of both forward and reverse phase type
loads. A single model supports both 120 and 220-240 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 forward or reverse phase dimming
Each channel of the DIN-1DIMU4 is capable of auto-detecting the
dimmable load type connected to it and selecting the appropriate
operating mode to control that load. Reverse phase (trailing edge) mode
supports incandescent and electronic low-voltage load types, while
forward phase (leading edge) mode handles magnetic low-voltage, neon,
and other inductive load types. A non-dim mode is also selectable for
switching of non-dimmable lighting fixtures. Any channel may be set for
any mode, allowing one dimmer module to handle any combination of
lighting types on four separately controlled circuits.
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.
Short Circuit Protection
Built-in over current protection (OCP) prevents failure of the
DIN-1DIMU4 caused by excessive loading or improper wiring of the
outputs.
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-1DIMU4 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-1DIMU4's front panel stays
accessible while the connections are concealed.
Cresnet
®
The DIN-1DIMU4 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-1DIMU4
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 in) minimum spacing above and
below for proper ventilation and heat dissipation, 150 mm (6 in) spacing
recommended.
