Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 DIN Rail Universal Dimmer 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 Universal Dimmer Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 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 DIN Rail Universal Dimmer 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.

Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Setup Network Wiring When wiring the Cresnet network, consider the following: • Use Crestron Certified Wire. NOTE: Cresnet HP cannot be used. • Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. • Provide sufficient power to the system. CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the system (www.crestron.com/calculators).
DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 3. When the desired Net ID is displayed, press the SETUP button to exit the Setup mode. The SETUP LED extinguishes. NOTE: If an invalid Net ID is set (e.g., 00, 02, FF), “Er” will be displayed on the NET ID display. The DIN-1DIMU4 will revert to the previously set Net ID. NOTE: The DIN-1DIMU4 will leave the Setup mode after 10 seconds of inactivity. The DIN-1DIMU4 will revert to the previously set Net ID.
Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 DIN Rail Universal Dimmer The DIN-1DIMU4 is designed for installation on a DIN rail. Refer to the following diagram when installing. Installing the DIN-1DIMU4 DIN-1DIMU4 Top Din Rail (Not Supplied) Din Rail Release 1. Use a flat object (e.g., a flat head screwdriver) to pull the DIN rail release downward. 2. With the top of the unit tilted toward you, place the DIN-1DIMU4 against the bottom of the DIN rail.
DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 Hardware Hookup Make the necessary connections as called out in the illustration that follows this paragraph. Refer to “Network Wiring” on page 11 before attaching the 4-position terminal block connector. Apply power after all connections have been made. When making connections to the DIN-1DIMU4, use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.

Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 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).
DIN Rail Universal Dimmer 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 Web site 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.
Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 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 11. Manual Control The lighting level of each output can be manually controlled from the front panel. To toggle the light between off and 100% (on), tap the appropriate LOAD button.
DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Save Override Settings Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 The lighting level of each output can be saved as an override setting, which can be automatically recalled when the Override mode is enabled. NOTE: The control system program has a setting that can prevent locally saving the override level settings. If this setting is enabled, the display shows “Er” when trying to save override level settings. For more information, refer to the SIMPL Windows help file.
Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Operating Mode and Unit Display OPERATING MODE FWD – Channel operates as a dimmer using only forward phase (leading edge) dimming. The FWD LED will illuminate when using forward phase dimming. UNIT DISPLAY FWD REV AUTO NON-DIM This mode is most suitable for magnetic transformers. REV - Channel operates as a dimmer using reverse phase (trailing edge) dimming. The REV LED will illuminate when using reverse phase dimming.

Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Cable Length Equation 40,000 L< RxP Where: L = Length of run (or chain) in feet 2 R = 6 Ohms (Crestron Certified Wire: 0.75 mm (18 AWG)) P = Cresnet power usage of entire run (or chain) Make sure the cable length value is less than the value calculated on the right side of the equation. For example, a Cresnet run using 0.75 mm2 (18 AWG) Crestron Certified Wire and drawing 20 watts should not have a length of run more than 101 meters (333 feet).
