Crestron HZ2-DIMUEX-A – Horizon 2 Universal Dimmer, infiNET EX, Alabaster

Product Overview

The Crestron HZ2-DIMUEX-A is a Horizon 2 in-wall universal phase dimmer with infiNET EX wireless communication, finished in Alabaster (white textured). It auto-detects and applies forward or reverse phase dimming for incandescent, LED, magnetic low voltage, and electronic low voltage loads up to 600 W/VA without requiring dedicated control wiring to the Crestron processor.

Product Description

The HZ2-DIMUEX-A provides universal load compatibility in the standard Alabaster finish that coordinates with conventional commercial device plates. Auto-load detection selects the correct phase mode for the connected fixture, and dimming curves are configurable between linear, logarithmic, and custom profiles. Nine programmable push buttons with RGB LED backlights offer local control, while the infiNET EX wireless connection enables full Crestron Home OS integration. The Alabaster finish uses the default dot engraving on the Style 6 large rocker button assembly (no custom engraving). Neutral wire and HZ2-FP-G faceplate (sold separately) are required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does HZ2-DIMUEX-A include custom engraving?

No. The standard (non-ENGRAVED) Alabaster variant comes with default dot engraving on the Style 6 large rocker button assembly. For custom laser-etched labels, order the HZ2-DIMUEX-A ENGRAVED variant instead.

Can this dimmer handle both LED and incandescent loads?

Yes. The HZ2-DIMUEX auto-detects whether the load requires forward or reverse phase dimming, making it compatible with incandescent, LED, MLV, and ELV fixture types on the same device.

Is a faceplate included?

No. The HZ2-FP-G faceplate is sold separately and is required for installation. The metal backplate is included with the faceplate purchase.
