About the Crestron DIN-AO8

Each output provides a 0 to 10 V DC control signal suited to 0-10 V lighting dimmers and heating/cooling valves. Ten-bit resolution gives precise recall of lighting and climate settings and smooth ramping between levels. An override input lets an external contact closure momentarily override the control system programme and set each output to its override preset level, adjustable from the front panel or software.

The DIN-AO8 communicates with a DIN-AP2 2-Series Automation Processor, or another Crestron 2-Series control system, over the Cresnet network. Crestron lists fully programmable functionality via the DIN-AP2. A pair of Cresnet ports allows several DIN Rail Series automation modules to be daisy-chained, and setup is from the front panel or software.

The module is 6M wide and snaps onto a standard DIN rail, either in a wall mount enclosure or mounted on a wall panel. Wiring connections use detachable screw terminals positioned along the top and bottom, clearly accessible from the front for easier servicing. Power comes from the Cresnet network, the same connection that carries its control data.

Questions about the Crestron DIN-AO8

What is the Crestron DIN-AO8?

It is a DIN rail analogue output module with eight 0-10 V DC output ports. It lets a Crestron control system interface with third-party lighting and heating/cooling systems, such as 0-10 V lighting dimmers and heating or cooling valves, and it communicates over Cresnet.

What can the DIN-AO8 outputs control?

Each output provides a 0 to 10 V DC control signal that is suited to controlling 0-10 V lighting dimmers and heating/cooling valves. Ten-bit resolution means lighting and climate control settings are recalled precisely, with smooth ramping between levels.

Which control system does the DIN-AO8 work with?

Crestron describes it communicating with a DIN-AP2 2-Series Automation Processor, or another Crestron 2-Series control system, via the Cresnet control network, and lists fully programmable functionality via the DIN-AP2. A pair of Cresnet ports allows several DIN Rail Series modules to be daisy-chained.

How is the DIN-AO8 powered?

It is powered by the Cresnet network, the same connection that carries its communication with the control system. Its two Cresnet ports let it be daisy-chained with other DIN Rail Series automation control modules.

What does the override input do?

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

How much is the Crestron DIN-AO8?

Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the DIN-AO8 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-AO8?

Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the DIN-AO8 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-AO8 come with a warranty?

Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the DIN-AO8 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-AO8 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-AO8 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.
