8-channel 120V Universal Dimmer Module with Terminal Block, 2 Feeds
Model: GL-CAEN-2DIMU8 KIT
Part #: 6508529
- Eight-channel universal dimmer module for commercial lighting applications
- Installs in a Crestron® CAEN or CAEN-MLO enclosure
- Supports dimmable LED, incandescent, electronic low-voltage, magnetic low-voltage, and 2-wire fluorescent lighting loads
- Single or dual feeds - two four-channel dimmers in one module
- Rated 4 Amps per channel at 120 Volts AC
Provides eight channels of technologically advanced universal dimming for commercial lighting applications. Supports LED, incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, electronic low-voltage, and 2-wire dimmable fluorescent lighting loads. Installs in a CAEN or CAEN-MLO wall mount automation enclosure as part of a complete Crestron® centralized lighting control system.
The Crestron® GL-CAEN-2DIMU8 is an eight-channel, two-feed universal dimmer module designed for 120V commercial lighting system applications. It installs in a CAEN or CAEN-MLO enclosure and provides control of a wide range of dimmable lighting load types including electronic and magnetic low-voltage, LED, incandescent, and 2-wire fluorescent. It may also be used to switch non-dimmable lighting loads. Dual feed capability provides two independent four-channel dimmers in one module space. Each output channel is rated for 480 Watts (4 Amps), with a total module rating of 3840 Watts (32 Amps) when fed from two separate 20 Amp feeds.
Auto-Detecting Universal Dimming
Under normal operation, the GL-CAEN-2DIMU8 detects the connected load type on each channel and selects the appropriate operating mode for each channel automatically. 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. The operating mode may also be selected manually via software or programmatically via the control system.
Ultra-Reliable Performance
The GL-CAEN-2DIMU8 is a technologically advanced universal dimmer that delivers unparalleled reliability and optimal dimming performance, even in noisy electrical environments. Patented “Constant Power” technology dramatically reduces lamp flicker and maximizes stability under noisy power conditions. This cutting-edge technology quickly adjusts the dimmer’s on-time response to changes in input voltage so that power is constantly and consistently delivered to the load. Voltage sag and peak overshoot no longer cause changes in load output, ensuring reliable lighting performance and a comfortable working environment.
To further reduce lamp flicker, the GL-CAEN-2DIMU8 features proprietary zero-cross filter technology which compensates for line voltage and frequency fluctuations for superior immunity to noise on the power line.
