Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 Crestron Green Light™ 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.

DIN Rail Universal Dimmer 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.

Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 ® 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.

DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Uploading and Upgrading Crestron recommends using the latest programming software and that each device contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released features. However, before attempting to upload or upgrade it is necessary to establish communication. Once communication has been established, files (for example, programs or firmware) can be transferred to the control system (and/or device).
Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 Programs and Firmware Program or firmware files may be distributed from programmers to installers or from Crestron to dealers. Firmware upgrades are available from the Crestron website as new features are developed after product releases. One has the option to upload programs via the programming software or to upload and upgrade via the Crestron Toolbox.
DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Operation NET ID Use the NET ID buttons to change the Net ID of the DIN-1DIMU4. For information on Net ID, refer to “Identity Code” which starts on page 13. Manual The lighting level of each output can be manually controlled from the Control front panel.
Page 29
Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 Save The lighting level of each output can be saved as an override setting, Override which can be automatically recalled when the Override mode is enabled. Settings NOTE: The control system program has a setting that can prevent locally saving the override level settings.

DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Check Network Wiring Use the Right In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your Wire installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire and only Crestron Certified Wire may be used. Failure to do so may incur additional charges if support is required to identify performance deficiencies because of using improper wire.
Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 NOTE: All Crestron certified Cresnet wiring must consist of two twisted pairs. One twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND conductor and the other twisted pair is the Y conductor and the Z conductor. Strip and Tin When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully Wire to avoid nicking the conductors.
DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Future Updates As Crestron improves functions, adds new features and extends the capabilities of the DIN-1DIMU4, additional information may be made available as manual updates. These updates are solely electronic and serve as intermediary supplements prior to the release of a complete technical documentation revision.
