{"product_id":"crestron-clx-2dim8","title":"Crestron CLX-2DIM8 – 8-Channel Dimmer Module, 2 Feeds, 120V","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Crestron CLX-2DIM8 is an 8-channel forward-phase dimmer module designed for installation in Crestron CAEN or CAEN-MLO automation enclosures. It accepts two 120V single-phase feeds (same or split phase) and provides 8 independently controlled channels rated at 16A \/ 1,920W per channel, with a 32A \/ 3,840W module total. It is suited for incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, neon\/cold cathode, and 2-wire fluorescent load types in residential and commercial lighting control installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CLX-2DIM8 communicates via Cresnet secondary mode, receiving dimming commands from a Crestron control processor. Its forward-phase (leading edge) dimming method is optimized for incandescent and magnetic low-voltage loads. The module occupies one slot in a CAEN or CAEN-MLO enclosure and requires adequate ventilation for heat management, as maximum heat dissipation reaches 176 BTU\/hr at full load. UL, CEC Title 24, and FCC certifications support use in regulated commercial and residential projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 independently controlled forward-phase dimmer channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16A \/ 1,920W per channel; 32A \/ 3,840W total module rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo single-phase 120V feeds; same or split phase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad types: incandescent, magnetic low-voltage (MLV), neon\/cold cathode, 2-wire dimmable fluorescent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25W minimum load per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCresnet secondary mode for processor control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 1 module slot in CAEN or CAEN-MLO enclosures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertifications: UL Listed (US \u0026amp; Canada), UL 508, UL 924, IC, FCC Part 15 Class A, CEC Title 24 2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResidential whole-home incandescent and halogen lighting control in CAEN enclosure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial office and hospitality lighting with high-load incandescent or MLV fixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew construction residential lighting control with multiple incandescent circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStage and theatrical lighting control integrated with Crestron automation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHotel guest room lighting control for decorative incandescent and MLV fixture types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e CLX-2DIM8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.50 lb (2.04 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (H x W x D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.59 in. x 6.92 in. x 3.43 in.
