As part of a complete Crestron lighting system, the CLX-1DIM8 lighting
control module provides 8 channels of dimming for incandescent,
magnetic low-voltage, neon/cold cathode, and dimmable 2-wire
fluorescent loads. Each channel is rated for 1920 Watts, with a total
module rating of 1920 Watts. Air-gap relays are provided on every channel
output allowing individual circuits to be serviced without disabling the
entire module.
CLX-Series dimmers are rigorously built using 40 Amp triacs and oversized
heat sinks for ultimate reliability. Split-bobbin transformers and ground
referenced electronics deliver superior performance. Lamp flicker is
minimized through Crestron’s innovative zero-crossing detection technique
backed by proprietary firmware. Low-maintenance convection cooling
assures quiet and trouble-free operation.
An override feature allows each channel to be adjusted to a preset state
during setup. In the event that Cresnet communications should be
disrupted for any reason, a simple contact closure can be used to activate
the override presets on a global or semi-global basis.
The CLX-1DIM8 occupies a single module space in any CAEN or
CAEN-MLO automation enclosure. Termination of high-voltage wiring to the
module is facilitated by a CLT-1DIM8 terminal block, sold separately to
enable termination of the wiring any time prior to installing the module.
CLX modules are controlled by the PAC2 and PAC2M professional
automation control systems via the Cresnet network. A 5-wire link provides
bussing of the Cresnet and override signals between modules within an
enclosure (interconnect jumpers included).
