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, two 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
• Auto load detection
• 120-240 Volt 50/60 Hz operation
• Selectable non-dim mode
• “Wilson” filter eliminates lamp flicker
• Short circuit and overload protection
• Master air gap relay
• Override input
• Cresnet
®
communications
• Setup via front panel or software
• Programmable functionality via DIN-AP2 or other 2-Series
control system
• 12M wide DIN rail mounting

Auto Load Detection
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.
Wilson Filter
A Crestron® proprietary zero cross filter technology, known as a Wilson
filter, provides superior immunity to noise on the power line, eliminating
lamp flicker and compensating for variations in the line voltage and
frequency.
Short Circuit Protection
Built-in OCP (over current protection) prevents failure of the
DIN-1DIMU4 caused by excessive loads 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.
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 detachable screw terminals and captive screws 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.
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.

1. The latest software versions can be obtained from the Crestron website. Refer to
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. The DIN-1DIMU4 dissipates significant heat when fully loaded and should be
mounted in a suitably ventilated enclosure. Maintain 10 cm (4 in) minimum
spacing above and below for proper ventilation and heat dissipation, 15 cm (6 in)
spacing recommended. When mounting multiple DIN1DIMU4 modules, the
ambient temperature within the enclosure must not exceed 40º C (104º F).
