Crestron Horizon 2 In-Wall Forward-Phase Dimmer with infiNET EX – 1...
Product Overview
The Crestron Horizon 2 In-Wall Forward-Phase Dimmer with infiNET EX Wireless Communication (HZ2-DIMEX-B) is a black, standard-engraved in-wall dimmer that combines Horizon 2 lighting control with infiNET EX two-way wireless communication. Rated for 120 VAC operation, it supports incandescent, halogen, and compatible LED loads using forward-phase (TRIAC/leading-edge) dimming technology.
Product Description
The HZ2-DIMEX-B provides local dimming control with integrated wireless communication via Crestron's infiNET EX mesh network. This eliminates the need to run dedicated control wiring back to a central processor for wireless deployments, making it appropriate for retrofit projects, architecturally sensitive buildings, and installations where running new low-voltage wiring is impractical. Forward-phase dimming is compatible with resistive loads (incandescent, halogen) and many forward-phase-compatible LED loads. The black finish and standard Crestron icon engraving make this a ready-to-deploy unit for commercial and residential applications where a dark finish is specified. The infiNET EX radio provides reliable two-way communication with the Crestron control system for status feedback and remote command execution.

FAQs
Q: What types of LED drivers or bulbs are compatible with the HZ2-DIMEX forward-phase dimmer?
A: The HZ2-DIMEX is compatible with LED loads that support forward-phase (leading-edge/TRIAC) dimming. Check the LED manufacturer's compatibility data before specifying. Not all LED drivers and bulbs are forward-phase compatible — for 0-10V LED drivers, use the HZ2-DIMLVEX instead.
Q: Does the infiNET EX radio require a separate access point or gateway?
A: Yes. The infiNET EX network requires a compatible Crestron infiNET EX gateway or processor on the network. The HZ2-DIMEX communicates with the gateway via the infiNET EX mesh, which then interfaces with the Crestron control system.
Q: Can I use the HZ2-DIMEX-B as a standalone dimmer without a Crestron control system?
A: The HZ2-DIMEX is designed for integration with a Crestron Horizon 2 system and infiNET EX network. It is not intended for use as a standalone dimmer without the supporting Crestron control infrastructure.
