Crestron DIN-AO8 Original operating instructions

DIN-AO8
DIN Rail Analog Output Module
Installation & Operation Guide
1. Place the top of the DIN-AO8’s rail mount over the top of the DIN rail.
2. Tilt the bottom of the DIN-AO8 toward the DIN rail until it snaps into place.
NOTE: When mounting DIN rail products, it may be necessary to use a at-head
screwdriver to pull the DIN rail release tab while snapping the device onto the DIN rail.
NOTE: Certain third-party DIN cabinets provide space for an informational label
between each DIN rail row. Crestron’s Engraver software (version 4.0 or later) can
generate appropriate labels for all Crestron DIN rail products.
Description
The Crestron®DIN-AO8 is a DIN rail-mounted automation control module that provides
eight analog output ports for interfacing with third-party lighting and heating and cooling
systems.

reader application on your mobile device to scan the QR image.
Hardware Hookup
Make the necessary connections. Apply power after all connections have been made.
WARNING: Prior to connecting the device, turn off power at the circuit breaker. Failure
to do so may result in serious personal injury or damage to the device. Restore power
after all connections have been made.
CAUTION: Connecting this device to the wrong type of load or short-circuiting the load
can cause severe product damage. Each load should be tested to identify a short-circuit
condition prior to wiring the load to the module.
NOTE: Use copper wire only.
NOTE: Each switch leg of the DIN-AO8 may be fed from a separate circuit breaker.
When making OUTPUTS, NET, and OVERRIDE connections, strip the ends of the wires
approximately 7/16 in (11 mm). Use care to avoid nicking the conductors. Tighten the
connector to 5 in-lb (0.5 to 0.6 N-m). The wire gauge should be 14 to 26 AWG.
When making power connections to the DIN-AO8, use a Crestron power supply.

Operation
The DIN-AO8 can be controlled via its front panel as well as from a control system. The
following local controls are available.
NOTE: Before using the DIN-AO8, ensure the device is using the latest rmware. Check
for the latest rmware for the DIN-AO8 at www.crestron.com/rmware. Firmware is
loaded onto the device using Crestron Toolbox™.
Manual Load Control
The level of each of the analog outputs can be manually controlled from the front panel.
To toggle the output between off (0V) and the programmed upper limit (10V), tap an output
button. The corresponding LED illuminates, and the output level is shown on the NET ID
display (“oF” for off, “On” for on) for two seconds, after the button is released.
To ramp the voltage up or down (until it reaches a limit), press and hold the output button.
To change the ramp direction, release the output button, and then press and hold it again.
The corresponding LED illuminates, and the output level is shown on the NET ID display
as a percentage (01-99) for two seconds, after the button is released.
NOTE: The control system program may change the settings if Override mode is not
enabled.
Establish Override Mode Levels
Override mode disables the control system program and sets all of the output states to the
stored override values. The state 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 state. If this setting is enabled, the display shows “Er” when trying to save
override states. For more information, refer to the SIMPL Windows help le.
To save the load level as an override setting, set all of the loads to either on or off, and
then press and hold the OVR button for three seconds. The OVR LED blinks to indicate
the new override setting has been stored.
Set the Net ID
The Net ID of the DIN-AO8 has been factory set to 88. The Net IDs of all devices in the
same system must be unique. The Net ID can be changed from the front panel of the
DIN-AO8 or from a personal computer via Crestron Toolbox™.
Set the Net ID using the front panel.
1. Press the SETUP button to enter Setup mode. The SETUP LED illuminates.
2. Press the left and right buttons under the NET ID display to change the Net ID.
NOTE: The DIN-AO8 will leave Setup mode after 10 seconds of inactivity and
revert to the previously set Net ID.
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 (i.e., 00, 02, FF), “Er” will be displayed on the NET
ID display, and the DIN-AO8 will revert to the previously set Net ID.
A small Net ID label is provided on the DIN-AO8 to document the unit’s Net ID in the case
where power is not available. Apply a mark over the digits that correspond to the assigned
Net ID.
NET ID Label (“3C” Shown)
Toggle Override Mode
The Override mode overrides the control system program and sets all of the output levels
to the saved override values. For instructions on saving override levels, refer to “Establish
Override Mode Levels.”
To enable the Override mode, press and release the OVR button. The OVR LED ashes
slowly.
NOTE: If the Override mode was enabled from an external device (i.e., a contact
closure is present on the OVERRIDE terminals), the OVR LED ashes quickly. Pressing
the OVR button has no effect.
To disable the Override mode, press the OVR button again. The OVR LED extinguishes
and the output levels return to the values set by the control system program.
NOTE: The factory default override level is 100% if override levels have not been saved.
Reset
To reboot the DIN-AO8, press the RESET button. The output levels will be set to the level
currently specied by the control system program. If the control system does not provide
a value, the outputs will be set to the previously set levels.
