As part of a complete Crestron lighting system, the CLXI-2DIM2 lighting control module provides 2 independent channels of dimming for 230V incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, neon/cold cathode, and dimmable 2-wire fluorescent loads. Each channel is rated for 2300 Watts, with a total module rating of 4600 Watts when fed from two separate 16 Amp feeds. Air-gap relays are provided on each channel output to allow an individual circuit to be serviced without disabling the entire module.

CLXI-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.

The CLXI-2DIM2 occupies a single module space in any CAEN or CAENIB automation enclosure. Termination of high-voltage wiring to the module is facilitated by a CLTI-2DIM2 terminal block, sold separately to enable termination of the wiring at any time prior to installing the module. CLXI 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).
