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.

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.
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 Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 Specifications Specifications for the DIN-1DIMU4 are listed in the following table. DIN-1DIMU4 Specifications SPECIFICATION DETAILS Load Ratings Dimmer Channels Maximum Per Channel 5 Amps @ 120-240 Volts AC, 50/60 Hz 600 Watts @ 120 Volts AC...
