Crestron DIN-8SW8 8 Channel High-Voltage Switch with Digital Inputs

Crestron part number DIN-8SW8-I

The Crestron DIN-8SW8 is an eight channel DIN rail switching module for non-dimmable lighting and fans, supplied here as the DIN-8SW8-I. It adds eight isolated digital inputs, so standard momentary switches can trigger events with or without a control system, and it connects to a Crestron system over Cresnet.

About the Crestron DIN-8SW8

One model supports both 120 V and 220 to 240 V applications at 50/60 Hz. Its eight channels provide power switching for non-dimmable lighting, fans and other motor loads. Override inputs let an external contact closure momentarily override the control system programme and set each channel to its override preset level, which can be saved from the front panel or via software.

The eight isolated inputs are voltage driven and accept momentary pushbutton keypads. By default, a momentary voltage on an input toggles the matching relay on or off, so lights can be switched locally without a control system. When a Crestron control system is connected, this behaviour can be overridden to create eight general-purpose inputs for the control programme.

The DIN-8SW8-I communicates over Cresnet and has a pair of Cresnet ports for daisy-chaining several DIN Rail Series modules. It snaps onto a standard DIN rail in a wall mount enclosure and is 9M wide, with screw terminals along the bottom and all setup controls and indicators on the centre front panel. Setup is from the front panel or software.

Questions about the Crestron DIN-8SW8

What is the Crestron DIN-8SW8?

The DIN-8SW8, sold on this page as part number DIN-8SW8-I, is a DIN rail high-voltage switch with eight switched channels for non-dimmable lighting and fans. It also has eight isolated digital inputs for momentary switches, and it works with a Crestron control system over Cresnet.

Do the DIN-8SW8-I inputs work without a control system?

Yes. By default, a momentary voltage applied to an input toggles the associated relay on or off, so standard momentary switches can control the channels with or without a control system. A connected Crestron control system can override this and use them as eight general-purpose inputs.

What voltages does the DIN-8SW8 support?

A single model supports both 120 V and 220 to 240 V applications at 50/60 Hz. Crestron lists support for lighting and motor loads in this range, and the module is designed for switching non-dimmable lighting and fans rather than dimming.

What does the override input do?

It allows an external contact closure to momentarily override the control system programme and set each channel output to its override preset level. Override levels can be adjusted and saved locally from the front panel, or remotely through software.

How is the module mounted and connected?

It snaps onto a standard DIN rail in a wall mount enclosure and is 9M wide. Wiring connections use screw terminals along the bottom, accessible from the front, and a pair of Cresnet ports allows several DIN Rail Series modules to be daisy-chained.

How much is the Crestron DIN-8SW8?

Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the DIN-8SW8 directly rather than publish it online. Add it to your quote list and we will send you a written quote, with delivery, and installation and programming if you need them.

Can 1Install supply, install and programme the DIN-8SW8?

Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the DIN-8SW8 on its own, or install, set up and programme it as part of your system. Installation visits are €440 for 4 hours or €880 for a full day, plus VAT and travel.

Does the DIN-8SW8 come with a warranty?

Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the DIN-8SW8 develops a fault, contact us and we will handle the claim with Crestron. If we installed it, our workmanship is guaranteed for the lifetime of the system.

Is the DIN-8SW8 in stock?

We order Crestron for each quote, so availability depends on Crestron's stock at the time. We check it before we quote and put the expected delivery date on your quote, so you know where you stand before you pay.

Can I buy the DIN-8SW8 without installation?

Yes. We supply Crestron to end users, with or without installation. Like most Crestron devices of this type, it needs setting up or programming before it works in a system, and we can quote for that too.
