PAC2M Professional Automation Mini Control System

The PAC2M is a compact, low-cost alternative to the PAC2 designed for small lighting and automation applications. At half the size of a PAC2, the PAC2M is perfect for apartments and smaller homes as well as individual meeting rooms and MDU applications.

2-Series Control System

Built upon the reliable Crestron 2-Series control engine, the PAC2M is extensively programmable using the Crestron suite of powerful development software and vast database of drivers and software modules. The PAC2M works seamlessly with the entire Crestron line of lighting dimmers and shade controls, keypads and touchpanels, thermostats, wireless gateways, and expansion modules.

Whole House Integration

The PAC2M provides for the integration of non-Crestron devices and subsystems through a host of control interfaces. Four isolated relays and four digital input ports are built in to accommodate motion sensors, contactors, door strikes, and other low-voltage controls. Additional relays, I/O ports, serial COM ports, DTMF interfaces, and shade controllers can be added using Crestron expansion modules at any location throughout a residence or commercial facility.

Modular Enclosure or Wall Mount Installation

The PAC2M is designed to install in a CAEN automation enclosure and provide a direct bus to a cabinet full of CLX- Series lighting control modules. The PAC2M can also be mounted directly to a suitable surface without an enclosure where allowed.

NOTE: A separate supplemental power supply is required for the PAC2M. It is recommended that power fed to the PAC2M processor comes from a clean and uninterrupted source.

Ethernet and e-Control®2

Built-in 10/100 Ethernet facilitates secure high speed network connectivity, enabling extensive capabilities for remote system maintenance and control, and providing an interface to other Crestron control systems. Native features include a built-in email client to report system troubles and other functions to a homeowner or maintenance/service company via instant email notification. An onboard Web server provides the foundation for the exclusive Crestron e-Control 2 XPanel technology, providing secure IP-based remote control using any Windows computer or CE/PocketPC™ PDA device.

RoomView® and SNMP

For large facilities utilizing multiple PAC2M and other control systems, the exclusive Crestron RoomView Help Desk software delivers a comprehensive solution for remote monitoring and asset management. Also, built-in SNMP support enables similar capability using third-party network management software, allowing full control and monitoring from the IT Help Desk or NOC in a format that's familiar to IT personnel.

Cresnet® Distribution

Cresnet is the communications backbone for Crestron lighting modules, wall box dimmers, thermostats, keypads, and many other devices. This flexible 4-wire bus streamlines the wiring of a complete Crestron lighting system. The PAC2M provides connectivity for numerous Cresnet devices on multiple homeruns via 8 separate Cresnet ports. Its built-in Cresnet hub provides two isolated segments, each supporting 3000 feet of cabling and approximately 25 Cresnet devices. The Cresnet ports are arranged into two separate power groups providing a clean, flexible 24 Volt DC power distribution solution. An external power supply is required (sold separately).
