DIN-8SW8-I Original DIN Rail High Voltage Switch with Eight Isolated Digital Inputs for Crestron

DIN-8SW8-I Original DIN Rail High Voltage Switch with Eight Isolated Digital Inputs for Crestron

Overview:
The DIN-8SW8-I is an 8-channel lighting control module designed to support non-dimmable lighting and fan switching. The module features eight isolated digital inputs, allowing standard momentary switches to trigger events with or without a control system. A single model supports both 120V and 220-240V applications. Each channel handles incandescent loads up to 10A, fluorescent loads up to 5A, and 1/2 HP motor loads [1].

Override Input
Override inputs are provided to allow an external contact closure to momentarily override the control system program and set each channel output to its override preset level. Levels can be adjusted and saved locally from the front panel or remotely via software.

Isolated Local Inputs
The DIN-8SW8-I provides eight isolated local inputs, allowing momentary push-button keypads to be used. By default, a momentary voltage applied to each input will cause the associated relay to toggle on/off. The attached control system for Crestron can override this behavior and create eight general-purpose inputs. In this mode, push-button keypads can be programmed to provide customized functionality.

DIN Rail Installation
The DIN-8SW8-I is designed to snap onto a standard DIN rail for installation in a wall mount enclosure. Wiring connections are made using screw terminals positioned along the bottom, clearly accessible from the front for easy installation and servicing. All setup controls and indicators are positioned on the center front panel. When installed in an enclosure utilizing 45mm cutouts, the DIN-8SW8-I's front panel stays accessible while the connections are concealed.

Wired Communications for Cresnet
The DIN-8SW8-I communicates with a Control System (for Crestron) using the control network for Cresnet. A pair of ports (for Cresnet) is provided on the DIN-8SW8-I, allowing for easy daisy-chaining of several DIN Rail Series automation control modules.
