As part of a complete Crestron lighting system, the CLX-1DIM8 lighting 
control module provides 8 channels of dimming for incandescent,  
magnetic low-voltage, neon/cold cathode, and dimmable 2-wire  
fluorescent loads. Each channel is rated for 1920 Watts, with a total 
module rating of 1920 Watts. Air-gap relays are provided on every channel 
output allowing individual circuits to be serviced without disabling the 
entire module.

CLX-Series dimmers are rigorously built using 40 Amp triacs and oversized 
heat sinks for ultimate reliability. Split-bobbin transformers and ground 
referenced electronics deliver superior performance. Lamp flicker is 
minimized through Crestron’s innovative zero-crossing detection technique 
backed by proprietary firmware. Low-maintenance convection cooling  
assures quiet and trouble-free operation.

An override feature allows each channel to be adjusted to a preset state 
during setup. In the event that Cresnet communications should be  
disrupted for any reason, a simple contact closure can be used to activate 
the override presets on a global or semi-global basis.

The CLX-1DIM8 occupies a single module space in any 

CAEN

 or  

CAEN-MLO

 automation enclosure. Termination of high-voltage wiring to the 

module is facilitated by a 

CLT-1DIM8

 terminal block, sold separately to  

enable termination of the wiring any time prior to installing the module. 
CLX modules are controlled by the 

PAC2

 and 

PAC2M

 professional  

automation control systems via the Cresnet network. A 5-wire link provides 
bussing of the Cresnet and override signals between modules within an 
enclosure (interconnect jumpers included).
