Crestron HZ2-DIMLVEX-BR-BRASS-ENGRAVED – 0-10V Dimmer, Brushed Brass

Product Overview

The Crestron HZ2-DIMLVEX-BR-BRASS-ENGRAVED is a Horizon 2 series in-wall 0-10V dimmer with infiNET EX wireless networking, finished in Brushed Brass with custom laser-engraved button caps. Designed for commercial and residential AV installations, this single-gang device controls 0-10V dimmable LED drivers and fluorescent ballasts over a 2.4 GHz wireless mesh network—no home-run wiring to a processor required. The custom engraving is included at no additional charge, allowing integrators to label buttons with scene names, room identifiers, or client-specific functions.

Product Description

The HZ2-DIMLVEX-BR-BRASS-ENGRAVED belongs to the Horizon 2 product line, Crestron's in-wall lighting control platform built for integration with Crestron Home, PYNG Hub, and full Crestron control systems. The 0-10V output controls any compatible LED driver or fluorescent ballast, switching the load line voltage (up to 1.5A) and modulating the 0-10V signal to set dim level. infiNET EX 2.4 GHz wireless mesh eliminates the need for dedicated Cat cable back to a lighting control processor, while maintaining the reliability and range expected in commercial environments. The Brushed Brass finish aligns with premium interior specifications where standard white or black devices would be out of place. Button caps are laser-engraved per order, ensuring labels are permanent and professional—not adhesive overlays. A neutral wire is required for installation.

• Crestron Home residential installations integrating wireless lighting control with audio, video, and HVAC
• Renovation projects where running new control wiring to each device is not feasible

Technical Specifications

FAQs

Does this dimmer require a dedicated infiNET EX gateway?
Yes. The HZ2-DIMLVEX-BR-BRASS-ENGRAVED communicates over infiNET EX 2.4 GHz wireless mesh and requires an infiNET EX gateway—such as the CEN-GWEXER—connected to the Crestron control system or Crestron Home hub. The gateway is sold separately. Contact Creation Networks for gateway compatibility guidance.

What loads does the 0-10V output support?
The 0-10V control signal is compatible with any LED driver or fluorescent ballast that accepts a standard 0-10V dimming input. The device also switches the line voltage (up to 1.5A) to provide power enable/disable control alongside the dim level signal. It is not suitable for incandescent, halogen, or phase-dimmable LED loads—use a DIMU or DIM variant for those load types.

How is the custom engraving specified?
Engraving text is configured at the time of order. Button labels can include scene names (e.g., "Presentation," "All Off"), room identifiers, or custom text. The engraving is laser-etched directly into the button caps for a permanent, professional finish. Contact Creation Networks to confirm label specifications before placing your order.
