•Each relay can handle 16Amp at 250V and is protected with a VDR (385 Volts).
•Red LED feedback per relay + manual override per relay with dip switches.
•Interface connects directly to Cresnet. Two 4-pole Phoenix connectors on board for
easy daisy-chaining of multiple interfaces. Cresnet addressing through software.
•DIN rail mountable universal casing to fit in any standard electrical cabinet. Takes 6
DIN modules in the cabinet.

Cresnet Connections
Note: Before making any connections, CRESTRON recommends that all power is off
and the installer reviews the latest revision of the network interconnection drawing
(DOC5411i).
Refer to figure 4 and connect the CH-HREL8-D6 to the Cresnet network via a Cresnet
network cable (CRESNET cable). This cable is not supplied with the CH-HREL8-D6 but
can be obtained from Crestron International.

Cresnet ID
Every equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique identity code
(NET ID). These codes are recognized by a two-digit hexadecimal number from 03 to FE.
The NET ID of each unit must match an ID code specified in the Simpl Windows program.
Use the following method’s to change NET ID of the CH-HREL8-D6.
Method A: (Viewport)
1. Ensure that the CH-HREL8-D6 is connected to the control system.
2. Open the Crestron viewport and connect to the control system (RS-232 or IP)
3. From the viewport menu, select Functions -> Set network ID.
The software checks the network and then opens the “Set Network ID” window.
4. In the “Set Network ID” window, select the CNMW-LT9 from the current network
devices text window (Figure 5).
5. Select the new NET ID for the CH-HREL8-D6 from the choose the new network ID
for the selected device (HEX): text box.
6. Click the Set ID to initiate the change. This will display the “ID command has been
set” window.
7. In the “Command complete” window, click OK.
8. In the current network devices text window, verify the net NET ID code.
9. In the “Set network ID” window, click close.

Method B: (Toolbox)
1. Ensure that the CH-HREL8-D6 is connected to the control system.
2. Open Crestron Toolbox and connect to the control system via
Tools -> Manage Address Book
3 After setting the correct parameters, click OK to return to the Crestron Toolbox
main window.
4 Click Tools | Network Device Tree, or click the network device tree icon to display
the “Network Device Tree” window (Figure 6). Use the Address Book icon or the
drop-down list at the lower left of the window to select the appropriate address for
the devices in the system. Communications are confirmed when the network
devices are displayed.

5 To view a specific device, expand the network device tree by clicking +. Expand the
network device tree until the device to be managed is selected. Right-click the
desired NET ID to open the sub-menu.

Programming
The next subsections describe a sample SIMPL Windows program that utilizes a
CH-HREL8-D6. It provides a description of how to actually create the SIMPL Windows
program.
NOTE: The following descriptions assume that the reader has knowledge of SIMPL
Windows. If not, please refer to the extensive help information provided with the software.
Minimal software requirements
SIMPL Windows 2.01.06
Ops. for CNX: 5.12.63X/W
Ops. for “2” series: C2-1014.cuz

Programming manager
The CNWM-LT9 symbol has 9 digital press and 9 fb (feedback) signals (Figure 9).
Figure 9: CNMW-LT9 symbol
*The first 8 fb signals (fb1-fb8) represent the 8 relays of the CH-HREL8-D6
The press signals (press1 – press9) are not used by the CH-HREL8-D6.
Example Program
Control a relay
This basic example illustrates how the first relay of a CH-HREL8-D6 can be controlled via
a single press on a button located on a touchpanel or keypad. The toggle symbols keeps
the relay open or closed (Figure 10).
