Crestron HZ2-AUX-DRK-NKL ENGRAVED – Horizon 2 Multiway Remote, Dark Nickel, Custom Engraved

Product Overview

The Crestron HZ2-AUX-DRK-NKL ENGRAVED is a Horizon 2 in-wall multiway remote in dark nickel metal finish with custom laser-etched button engraving. It pairs with a compatible Horizon 2 primary dimmer or switch via standard traveler wiring to provide secondary-location lighting control on the same circuit. The device mounts in any 1- to 4-gang US electrical box and accepts 120 VAC at 50/60 Hz. Custom engraving is applied by Crestron before shipping; engraving files must be submitted at the time of order.

Product Description

Horizon 2 is Crestron’s architectural lighting control platform, and the HZ2-AUX multiway remote extends that platform to three-way and multi-way lighting circuits. The dark nickel finish provides a refined, contemporary metal appearance suited to modern commercial interiors, upscale hospitality environments, and high-end residential installations. Custom engraving on the Style 6 large rocker allows the button legend to reflect the room or lighting scene it controls, improving usability and giving the finished installation a custom, built-in appearance. The maximum traveler wire run between the HZ2-AUX and the primary device is 250 ft (77 m). A HZ2-FP-G faceplate is required for mounting and is sold separately.

FAQs

When must I submit engraving files?

Engraving files must be provided to Crestron at the time of order. The device arrives with the custom engraving already applied and the button assembly cannot be changed in the field.

Can the HZ2-AUX-DRK-NKL ENGRAVED operate as a standalone dimmer?

No. It is a multiway remote only and requires a compatible primary Horizon 2 dimmer or switch (sold separately) to function.

What faceplate is compatible with this device?

A HZ2-FP-G series faceplate in the appropriate gang count and finish is required. The faceplate is sold separately and is available at creationnetworks.net.

Does the dark nickel finish require any special maintenance?

The brushed metal finish is durable under normal interior conditions. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.

Where can I purchase this product?

The HZ2-AUX-DRK-NKL ENGRAVED is available from Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net.
