Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Crestron Green Light™ DIN Rail Universal Dimmer: DIN-1DIMU4 Introduction The DIN-1DIMU4 is a four channel universal lighting control module designed to support dimming of both forward and reverse phase type loads. A single model supports both 120 and 220-240 Volt electronic and magnetic low-voltage, incandescent, neon/cold cathode, two wire dimmable fluorescent and non-dimmable lighting loads up to 5 Amps per channel, 10 Amps total.
DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 Auto Load Detection Each channel of the DIN-1DIMU4 is capable of auto-detecting the dimmable load type connected to it and selecting the appropriate operating mode to control that load. Reverse phase (trailing edge) mode supports incandescent and electronic low-voltage load types, while forward phase (leading edge) mode handles magnetic low-voltage, neon and other inductive load types.
Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Cresnet® The DIN-1DIMU4 communicates with a DIN-AP2 2-Series Automation Processor or other Crestron 2-Series control system via the Cresnet control network. A pair of Cresnet ports is provided on the DIN-1DIMU4 allowing for easy daisy chaining of several DIN Rail Series automation control modules.

As of the date of manufacture, the DIN-1DIMU4 has been tested and found to comply with specifications for CE marking and standards per EMC and Radiocommunications Compliance Labelling. NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Setup Network Wiring When wiring the Cresnet network, consider the following: • Use Crestron Certified Wire. NOTE: Cresnet HP cannot be used. • Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. • Provide sufficient power to the system. CAUTION: Insufficient 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).
DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 NET ID display to change the least significant digit of the Net ID number. • When the desired Net ID is displayed, press the SETUP button to exit the Setup mode. The SETUP LED extinguishes. NOTE: If an invalid Net ID is set (00, 02, FF), “Er” will be displayed on the NET ID display. The DIN-1DIMU4 will revert to the previously set Net ID. NOTE: The DIN-1DIMU4 will leave the Setup mode after 10 seconds of inactivity.
Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 DIN Rail Universal Dimmer NOTE: When installing in an enclosure, high-voltage devices should be grouped separately from low-voltage devices. The DIN-1DIMU4 is designed for installation on a DIN rail. Refer to the following diagram when installing. Installing the DIN-1DIMU4 DIN-1DIMU4 TOP DIN RAIL (NOT SUPPLIED) DIN RAIL RELEASE 1. Use a flat object (i.e. a flat-head screwdriver) to pull the DIN rail release downward. 2.
DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 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. Hardware Hookup Make the necessary connections as called out in the illustration that follows this paragraph. Refer to “Network Wiring” on page 13 before attaching the 4-position terminal block connector.
Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 DIN Rail Universal Dimmer NOTE: Ensure the unit is properly grounded. When making network connections to the DIN-1DIMU4, use a Crestron power supply.

DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 Uploading and Upgrading Crestron recommends using the latest programming software and that each device contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released features. However, before attempting to upload or upgrade it is necessary to establish communication. Once communication has been established, files (for example, programs or firmware) can be transferred to the control system (and/or device).
Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Programs and Firmware Program or firmware files may be distributed from programmers to installers or from Crestron to dealers. Firmware upgrades are available from the Crestron website as new features are developed after product releases. One has the option to upload programs via the programming software or to upload and upgrade via the Crestron Toolbox.
DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 Operation NET ID Use the NET ID buttons to change the Net ID of the DIN-1DIMU4. For information on Net ID, refer to “Identity Code” which starts on page 13. Manual Control The lighting level of each output can be manually controlled from the front panel. To toggle the light between off and 100% (on), tap the appropriate LOAD button.
Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 Save Override Settings DIN Rail Universal Dimmer The lighting level of each output can be saved as an override setting, which can be automatically recalled when the Override mode is enabled. NOTE: The control system program has a setting that can prevent locally saving the override level settings. If this setting is enabled, the display shows “Er” when trying to save override level settings. For more information, refer to the SIMPL Windows help file.
DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 Problem Solving Troubleshooting The following table provides corrective action for possible trouble situations. If further assistance is required, please contact a Crestron customer service representative. DIN-1DIMU4 Troubleshooting TROUBLE Device does not function. PWR LED blinks. POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) DIN-1DIMU4 is not receiving power from the AC line or the Crestron power supply. Device is not receiving power from a Crestron power source.
Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 DIN Rail Universal Dimmer DIN-1DIMU4 Troubleshooting (Continued) TROUBLE POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) LOADS (status) LED on a channel is blinking once per second. Over current protection has tripped. LOADS (status) LED on a channel is blinking twice per second. Channel has been programmed to use reverse phase control (REV) but has detected a magnetic load connected. The channel has overheated and shut down to protect itself.
DIN Rail Universal Dimmer Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 Check Network Wiring Use the Right Wire Calculate Power In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire and only Crestron Certified Wire may be used. Failure to do so may incur additional charges if support is required to identify performance deficiencies because of using improper wire. CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
Crestron DIN-1DIMU4 DIN Rail Universal Dimmer NOTE: All Crestron certified Cresnet wiring must consist of two twisted pairs. One twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND conductor and the other twisted pair is the Y conductor and the Z conductor. Strip and Tin Wire When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector and tin the twisted connection.
