Crestron ZUMLINK-JBOX-IO J-Box Integration Module with Timeclock

Crestron part number ZUMLINK-JBOX-IO

The Crestron ZUMLINK-JBOX-IO is a junction box integration module with a standalone astronomical timeclock for Zūm wired lighting control. It applies schedules, events and common integration protocols to a Zūm space without a control system, and gives the room an interface to third-party controllers such as HVAC/VAV systems and shade controllers.

Crestron ZUMLINK-JBOX-IO J-Box Integration Module with Standalone Timeclock for Zūm Lighting Control

About the Crestron ZUMLINK-JBOX-IO

The astronomical timeclock lets a standalone Zūm space follow date and time without system networking, a ZUM-HUB4 or a centralised control hub. Date and time, schedules, events and holidays are configured from the Zūm app and sent directly to the space, and because the app can discover the module, no custom programming is needed. Timeclock backup power comes from a battery with a 10-year backup life.

For integration it has two output relays rated 30VAC/VDC 1A on 3-pin terminal blocks (C, NO, NC), two inputs with keyswitch LED support, two inputs without, an RS-232 port (COM1) and an RS-485 port (COM2). These provide a room level connection to third-party smart controllers such as HVAC/VAV systems and shade controllers. The module is powered by the Zūm Link bus and draws up to 110mA.

Two RJ-45 Zūm Link ports daisy-chain it with Zūm load controllers, keypads and sensors using CBL-CAT5E-ZUMLINK-P CAT5e cable (sold separately). The white plastic module is 106 mm square and 25 mm deep, weighs 171 g (6 oz) and fits a standard 4 in. square junction box, with its connections facing out or into the box. It meets UL 2043 requirements for plenum spaces.

Questions about the Crestron ZUMLINK-JBOX-IO

What is the Crestron ZUMLINK-JBOX-IO?

It is a J-Box integration module with a standalone timeclock for Zūm lighting control. It fits a standard 4 in. square junction box, connects to other Zūm wired devices over Zūm Link, and applies schedules, events and common integration protocols to a Zūm space without the need for a control system.

Does the ZUMLINK-JBOX-IO need a ZUM-HUB4 or control system?

No. It provides a standalone astronomical timeclock with local time and date settings without a ZUM-HUB4 or control system. Date and time, schedules, events and holidays are configured from the Zūm app directly to the space, and the module can be discovered by the app, so custom programming is not needed.

What inputs and outputs does the ZUMLINK-JBOX-IO have?

It has two output relays rated 30VAC/VDC 1A on 3-pin terminal blocks, two inputs with keyswitch LED support, two inputs without keyswitch support, an RS-232 port on a 5-pin terminal block and an RS-485 port on a 3-pin terminal block. These let it act as a room level interface to HVAC/VAV systems and shade controllers.

How is it powered?

It is powered by the Zūm Link bus, with a maximum current consumption of 110mA, and passes up to 20mA through from the bus for keypad feedback LEDs. The timeclock has battery backup with a stated backup life of 10 years. Heat dissipation is 6 BTU/hr.

How is it mounted?

The module fits a standard 4 in. square junction box and can be fitted with its connections facing out or into the box. The white plastic housing is UL 94 5VA flame rated and meets UL 2043 requirements for plenum spaces. It measures 106 mm square and 25 mm deep, and weighs 171 g (6 oz).

How much is the Crestron ZUMLINK-JBOX-IO?

Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the ZUMLINK-JBOX-IO 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 ZUMLINK-JBOX-IO?

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

Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the ZUMLINK-JBOX-IO 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 ZUMLINK-JBOX-IO 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 ZUMLINK-JBOX-IO 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.
