Crestron HZ2-DIMUEX-DRK-NKL – Horizon 2 Universal Dimmer, infiNET EX, Dark Nickel, Engraved

Product Overview

The Crestron HZ2-DIMUEX-DRK-NKL is a Horizon 2 in-wall universal phase dimmer with infiNET EX wireless communication, finished in Dark Nickel metal with custom laser engraving. 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.

Product Description

The HZ2-DIMUEX-DRK-NKL delivers the same universal dimming performance as the Brushed Brass variant, with a Dark Nickel metal finish and custom-engraved button assembly. The ENGRAVED designation means button artwork in any of Style 1–6 is laser-etched at order; artwork files must be submitted via Impress SW, the Crestron Home app, D3Pro, or Crestron Home OS Configurator at the time of ordering. The Dark Nickel finish is specified in contemporary commercial and high-end residential interiors where cooler metal tones are preferred. Neutral wire and HZ2-FP-G faceplate (sold separately) are required. For ordering, visit creationnetworks.net.

Frequently Asked Questions

When must I submit engraving artwork?

Engraving files must be provided at the time of order. This is a made-to-order process and artwork cannot be changed after production begins. Accepted via Impress SW, Crestron Home app, D3Pro, or CHO Configurator.

Is Dark Nickel available without engraving?

The ENGRAVED suffix denotes custom laser-etched artwork. Standard (non-engraved) HZ2-DIMUEX variants with default dot engraving are available in other finish options within the HZ2 series.

What distinguishes this from the HZ2-DIMLVEX dark nickel?

The HZ2-DIMUEX controls line-voltage loads (incandescent, LED, MLV, ELV) via phase dimming. The HZ2-DIMLVEX is for 0-10 VDC controlled drivers and ballasts and requires separate DIM+ and DIM- wiring to the driver. They are not interchangeable and serve different fixture types.
