DIN Rail Cresnet®Distribution Hub
Installation Guide
Hardware Hookup
Make the necessary connections as called out in the illustration below. Apply power after
all connections have been made. When making connections to the DIN-HUB, use a
Crestron power supply.
CAUTION: Insufcient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage to the
equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how much
power is needed for the system (www.crestron.com/calculators).
NOTE: Use Crestron Certifed Wire. Cresnet HP wire cannot be used.
NOTE: When making 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.
Hardware Connections for the DIN-HUB
Description
The DIN-HUB is a DIN rail-mounted Cresnet hub designed to facilitate the conguration of
large Cresnet networks. DIN rail mounting enables modular installation alongside
Crestron®DIN Rail lighting and automation control modules and other third-party DIN rail
mountable devices.
DIN-HUB Specications
Installation
CAUTION: This equipment is for indoor use only. Mount in a well-ventilated area. The
ambient temperature must be 32º to 104 ºF (0º to 40 ºC). The relative humidity must be
10% – 90% (noncondensing).
NOTE: Observe the following points:
• Install and use this product in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and
regulations.
• A licensed electrician should install this product.
NOTE: Before using the DIN-HUB, ensure the device is using the latest rmware. Check
for the latest rmware for the DIN-HUB at www.crestron.com/rmware. Load the
rmware onto the device using Crestron Toolbox™ software.
The DIN-HUB is designed for installation on a DIN rail. Refer to the following diagram
when installing.
1. Place the top of the DIN-HUB’s rail mount over the top of the DIN rail.
2. Tilt the bottom of the DIN-HUB toward the DIN rail until it snaps into place.
NOTE: When mounting DIN rail products, use a at-head screw driver to pull the
DIN rail release tab while snapping the device onto the DIN rail.
To remove the DIN-HUB from the DIN rail, use a small, at object (i.e., a at-head
screwdriver) to pull the DIN rail release tab, and tilt the bottom of the DIN-HUB away from
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.

Troubleshooting
The following table provides corrective actions for possible trouble situations. If further
assistance is required, please contact a Crestron customer service representative.
DIN-HUB Troubleshooting
To power a segment externally, connect the external power supply to the EXT and G pins
on the segment’s NET PWR INPUT port.
Powering a Hub Segment Externally (Segment A Shown)
Power can be supplied from a DIN rail power supply or other Cresnet power supply
connected to the NET HOST port.
NOTE: The DIN-HUB can only be powered by the NET HOST port. Power cannot be
supplied from network devices that are connected to any of the segments.
Hub segments can be powered internally or from an external power supply. To power a
segment internally, install a jumper from the HOST pin to the EXT pin on the segment’s
NET PWR INPUT port.

TROUBLE POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) CORRECTIVE ACTION
The NET HOST PWR
LEDs do not light.
The DIN-HUB is not
receiving power.
Determine that the NET
HOST port on the
DIN-HUB is properly
connected to a Cresnet
power supply.
The segment’s NET LED
does not light.
The segment is improperly
wired.
Verify wiring
connections: proper
connector is used, cable
is intact, and
connections are secure.
One or more devices
attached to the segment
are not properly identied
in SIMPL Windows.
Use Crestron Toolbox to
verify that the SIMPL
Windows program
recognizes all of the
devices.
Another segment is
improperly wired.
Remove all segment
connections except for
the segment attached to
the control system and
the segment for which
the LED is not lit.
The segment’s PWR LED
does not light.
The wiring at the NET
PWR INPUT port is
incorrect.
Verify that the NET PWR
INPUT port is wired
correctly for internal or
external power.
There is insufcient
power.
Verify that sufcient
power is available. If
necessary, connect the
NET PWR INPUT port to
an external power
supply.
The network is not
working, and only one
LED lights.
There is a wiring problem. Disconnect the segment
that resulted in the lit
LED, and correct the
wiring.
