GL-EXP-DIMFDB-CN
Crestron Green Light® 3-Wire Fluorescent Dimmer Expansion Module,
Cresnet®
The Crestron Green Light® GL-EXP Series delivers a family of
professional lighting control modules for Cresnet® or DALI® based
lighting systems. Designed for easy installation on a wall or above a
suspended ceiling, these modules offer a perfect solution for adding
extra lighting zones to any system without requiring an additional
lighting cabinet.
The GL-EXP-DIMFDB-CN is a single-channel dimmer expansion module
designed to control 3-wire electronic fluorescent dimming ballasts.
Utilizing proprietary zero-cross filter technology, the
GL-EXP-DIMFDB-CN compensates for line voltage and frequency
fluctuations, providing superior immunity to power line noise and a
dramatic reduction in lamp flicker.
This module interfaces with a Crestron® control system via
Cresnet,[1] a simple 4-wire network bus that acts as the
communications backbone for Crestron lighting dimmers, keypads,
shades, thermostats, and other devices.
In the event that Cresnet communications should be disrupted for any
reason, the GL-EXP-DIMFDB-CN includes an override feature, which
allows a single dimming preset to be saved at setup and activated at
any time via an external contact closure.
The GL-EXP-DIMFDB-CN is designed to be mounted to a vertical
surface[2] and complies with UL 2043 standards for installation in
an environmental air-handling space above a suspended ceiling. Conduit
knockouts are provided on the bottom and lower sides of the unit. All
connections are made via screw terminals behind the front cover.
