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-DIMU-CN is a single-channel universal dimmer expansion module designed to control a wide range of dimmable lighting load types including electronic and magnetic low-voltage, LED, incandescent, neon/cold cathode, and 2-wire fluorescent. Utilizing proprietary zero-cross filter technology, the GL-EXP-DIMU-CN compensates for line voltage and frequency fluctuations, providing superior immunity to power line noise and a dramatic reduction in lamp flicker.
Auto-Detecting Universal Dimming
Under normal operation, the GL-EXP-DIMU-CN detects the connected load type and selects the appropriate operating mode automatically. Reverse phase (trailing edge) mode supports incandescent and electronic low-voltage load types, while forward phase (leading edge) mode handles magnetic low-voltage, neon, and other inductive load types. Center phase mode is also available, combining reverse and forward phase load control to address special cases. The operative mode is indicated by two LEDs located on the front panel.
Cresnet® Communications
The GL-EXP-DIMU-CN interfaces with a Crestron® control system via Cresnet. Cresnet is a simple 4-wire network bus that provides the communications backbone for a system of Crestron lighting dimmers, switches, keypads, shades, thermostats, and other devices.
Emergency Lighting Control
The GL-EXP-DIMU-CN is UL® 924 listed for use in controlling an emergency lighting load. In the event of a power failure, a contact closure from a power loss sensor (Crestron GLS-PLS-120/277) activates the override mode in the GL-EXP-DIMU-CN to turn on the lighting load if it is off (assuming line power is supplied by a backup power source).
