Crestron HZ2-DIMLVEX-A – Horizon 2 In-Wall 0-10V Dimmer, infiNET EX, 120VAC, Almond

Product Overview

The Crestron HZ2-DIMLVEX-A is a Horizon 2 series in-wall 0-10V dimmer with infiNET EX wireless communication, operating at 120VAC, in Almond finish with standard engraving. The 0-10V dimming output directly controls commercial-grade LED drivers, fluorescent ballasts, and other fixtures that use a 0-10V control interface, providing a clean analog dimming signal that avoids the phase-cutting distortion associated with TRIAC dimmers on sensitive electronic loads.

Product Description

0-10V dimming is the preferred control method for LED panel lights, recessed commercial downlights, and linear LED systems that use external drivers with 0-10V control inputs. The HZ2-DIMLVEX series provides 0-10V output for these loads while incorporating infiNET EX wireless communication to integrate into the Crestron automation ecosystem without dedicated Cresnet wiring. This makes it suitable for commercial retrofits where wired control infrastructure is not available and for wireless Crestron installations in offices, schools, and hospitality environments. The Almond finish suits installations with almond-colored wall plates and trim. Standard engraving labels buttons for typical lighting control functions. The Horizon 2 aesthetic is specified when the designer has chosen the HZ2 form factor over Cameo 2 for the project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What types of loads does HZ2-DIMLVEX-A support?
A: HZ2-DIMLVEX-A uses 0-10V dimming output for LED drivers with 0-10V control inputs, dimmable fluorescent ballasts with 0-10V inputs, and other fixtures rated for 0-10V control. It does not use phase-cut (TRIAC) dimming.

Q: Is HZ2-DIMLVEX-A compatible with forward-phase or reverse-phase dimmed loads?
A: No. For phase-cut dimming (incandescent, halogen, TRIAC LEDs), specify HZ2-DIMEX (forward-phase) or HZ2-DIMUEX (universal phase). HZ2-DIMLVEX is specifically for 0-10V control loads.

Q: Does HZ2-DIMLVEX-A require a control wire or gateway?
A: The HZ2-DIMLVEX-A uses infiNET EX wireless communication. A compatible infiNET EX gateway connected to the Crestron control network is required. No Cresnet homerun wiring to the device is needed.
