Product Overview
The Crestron Horizon 2 In-Wall Forward-Phase Dimmer with infiNET EX Wireless Communication (HZ2-DIMEX-DRK-BRZ) is a dark bronze, custom-engraved in-wall dimmer that integrates local dimming control with infiNET EX two-way wireless communication. Rated for 120 VAC, it supports forward-phase (TRIAC/leading-edge) dimming of incandescent, halogen, and compatible LED loads in premium residential and commercial environments.
Product Description
The HZ2-DIMEX-DRK-BRZ delivers forward-phase dimming with integrated wireless communication over Crestron's infiNET EX mesh network, eliminating the need for dedicated low-voltage control wiring at the dimmer location. The dark bronze finish is specified for luxury residential installations, upscale hospitality projects, and commercial spaces where control hardware must coordinate with architectural hardware in bronze or warm metallic tones. Custom laser engraving is applied at the Crestron factory, allowing scene names, room labels, or system identifiers to be permanently etched on the buttons before shipment. The infiNET EX radio provides reliable two-way communication for real-time status feedback and bidirectional control with the Crestron system.

FAQs
Q: What is the difference between forward-phase dimming and 0-10V dimming?
A: Forward-phase (TRIAC) dimming controls load level by chopping the leading edge of the AC sine wave. It is compatible with resistive loads and many LED drivers designed for TRIAC dimming. 0-10V dimming uses a separate low-voltage control signal to adjust LED driver output and is used with 0-10V-compatible LED drivers and fluorescent ballasts. Use the HZ2-DIMLVEX for 0-10V applications.
Q: Is custom engraving text finalized at time of order?
A: Yes. Engraving specifications must be submitted with the order. Crestron applies engraving at the factory before shipping, and the text cannot be changed after production begins.
Q: Does the infiNET EX version require additional licensing or software?
A: The HZ2-DIMEX requires a compatible Crestron control system and infiNET EX gateway. Crestron system programming and licensing requirements depend on the overall system design. Consult your Crestron dealer or Creation Networks for project-specific requirements.
