It may also be used to switch non-dimmable lighting loads. Dual feed capability provides two independent four-channel dimmers in one module space. Each output channel is rated for 480 Watts (4 Amps), with a total module rating of 3,840 Watts (32 Amps) when fed from two separate 20 Amp feeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuto-Detecting Universal Dimming\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUnder normal operation, the CLX-2DIMU8 detects the connected load type on each channel and selects the appropriate operating mode for each channel 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. The operating mode may also be selected manually via software or programmatically via the control system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUltra-Reliable Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe CLX-2DIMU8 is a technologically advanced universal dimmer that delivers unparalleled reliability and optimal dimming performance, even in noisy electrical environments. Patented “Constant Power” technology dramatically reduces lamp flicker and maximizes stability under noisy power conditions. This cutting-edge technology quickly adjusts the dimmer’s on-time response to changes in input voltage so that power is constantly and consistently delivered to the load. Voltage sag and peak overshoot no longer cause changes in load output, ensuring reliable lighting performance and a comfortable working environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo further reduce lamp flicker, the CLX-2DIMU8 features proprietary zero-cross filter technology which compensates for line voltage and frequency fluctuations for superior immunity to noise on the power line. Built-in protection against over-current, over-voltage, and over-temperature conditions helps to prevent failure due to temporary wiring faults and other abnormalities. An air-gap relay on each channel output allows individual circuits to be serviced without disabling the entire module. Low-maintenance convection cooling with over-sized heatsinks affords silent operation with no mechanical components to wear out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCentralized Lighting Cabinet Installation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCrestron CLX series lighting control modules are designed to be installed in a CAEN or CAEN-MLO wall mount enclosure. Available in a variety of sizes, CAEN and CAEN-MLO enclosures provide a scalable, high-density centralized lighting control solution for any-sized residence. A selection of CLX module types is offered to accommodate a wide range of load types and system configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTermination of high-voltage wiring to the CLX-2DIMU8 module is facilitated using a \u003ca href=\"\/Products\/Lighting-Environment\/Integrated-Lighting-Systems\/Terminal-Blocks\/CLT-2DIMU8\"\u003eCLT-2DIMU8\u003c\/a\u003e terminal block, which is sold separately to enable termination of the wiring prior to installing the module.
