As part of a complete Crestron lighting system, the CLX-2DIM2 lighting control module provides 2 independent 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 3840 Watts when fed from two separate 20 Amp feeds. Air-gap relays are provided on each channel output allowing an individual circuit 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-2DIM2 occupies a single module space in any CAEN automation enclosure. Termination of high-voltage wiring to the module is facilitated by a CLT-2DIM2 terminal block, sold separately to enable termination of the wiring anytime 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).
