Crestron DIN-8SW8-I – DIN Rail High-Voltage Switch Module with Digital Inputs, 8 Channels

Product Overview

The Crestron DIN-8SW8-I is a DIN rail-mounted 8-channel high-voltage switching module with integrated digital inputs, controlling non-dimmable loads — fluorescent ballasts, LED drivers without dimming capability, contactors, mechanical equipment, and other on/off loads — in Crestron DIN rail building automation systems. Each of the 8 switch channels includes a paired digital input for local pushbutton override, wall switch feedback, or occupancy sensor integration at the load location, enabling local manual control at the switched load without running a separate control cable back to the DIN-AP4 processor.

Product Description

Commercial lighting control systems frequently include a mix of dimmable and non-dimmable loads — dimmable LED fixtures and incandescent use the DIN-1DIM4 dimmer, while non-dimmable fluorescent ballasts, LED retrofit troffers without 0-10V dimming, and mechanical contactors use switching-only control. The DIN-8SW8-I provides 8 channels of high-voltage on/off switching for non-dimmable loads, each with a digital input for local override buttons or sensor connections at the switch location. This pairing of switch output and digital input per channel enables a complete local-override architecture where a wall push button at each load location sends a contact closure to the DIN-8SW8-I’s local input, which the DIN-AP4 program can use to toggle the load, activate a scene, or override the scheduled state without running a separate Cresnet keypad or I/O cable to the wall position.

Key Features

• 8-Channel High-Voltage Switching: Controls 8 independent non-dimmable AC loads — fluorescent ballasts, non-dimmable LED drivers, mechanical contactors, and other on/off commercial lighting and equipment loads from a single DIN rail module.
• Paired Digital Inputs per Channel: Each switch channel includes a digital input for local push button override, occupancy sensor feedback, or load status monitoring at the switched load location — enabling local control without additional Cresnet wiring to each load position.
• DIN Rail Mounting: Snaps onto 35mm DIN rail in the DIN-EN-6X18 enclosure alongside DIN-AP4 and other Crestron DIN modules.
• 4-Series Cresnet Integration: Connects to the DIN-AP4 via Cresnet — switch states and input states accessible in SIMPL# programs for scheduling, scene, and occupancy automation logic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between DIN-8SW8-I and DIN-1DIM4?
The DIN-8SW8-I provides on/off switching for non-dimmable loads (fluorescent, non-dimmable LED, contactors). The DIN-1DIM4 provides forward-phase dimming for dimmable loads (incandescent, dimmable LED, magnetic low-voltage). Both connect to the DIN-AP4 via Cresnet and are specified based on the load type. Contact Creation Networks for load-specific module selection guidance.

What is the warranty on the Crestron DIN-8SW8-I?
Crestron provides a standard 3-year limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks for warranty details.
