Crestron ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU Zūm Wireless 16A Universal Dimmer

Crestron part number ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU

The Crestron ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU is a single-channel universal dimmer module that adds 16A phase control dimming to a Zūm wireless commercial lighting system. It detects the load type automatically and handles dimmable LED, incandescent, electronic and magnetic low-voltage, neon/cold cathode and 2-wire fluorescent loads.

Crestron ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU Zūm Wireless Universal Dimmer Module, 16A, 100-277V

About the Crestron ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU

One channel is rated 16A at 100-277VAC, 50/60 Hz. The module normally senses the connected load and picks its mode, using reverse phase (trailing edge) for incandescent and electronic low-voltage loads and forward phase (leading edge) for loads such as LED and magnetic low-voltage. Crestron's zero-cross filter technology compensates for line voltage and frequency fluctuations, giving stability on noisy power lines and reducing lamp flicker. A built-in air gap relay is included.

It joins the room over Zūm Mesh 2-way RF at 2.4 GHz (IEEE 802.15.4, AES-128 encryption) through the supplied antenna, with a range of 50 ft (15 m) to the nearest mesh device, subject to site conditions. It is pre-programmed for pair and play with Zūm keypads, occupancy and vacancy sensors and daylight sensors. Energy-saving options include daylighting, occupancy or vacancy sensing and HVAC system integration.

The NEMA Type 1 enclosure is galvanised steel with a removable grey front cover and an aluminium heat sink. It surface mounts upright on a vertical surface with at least 6 in. (153 mm) of space above and below, and measures 224 x 163 x 81 mm. Line, neutral and load use captive screw terminals for 24 to 10 AWG wire, and DIM MODE, zero-cross filter and reset buttons sit behind the cover.

Questions about the Crestron ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU

What is the Crestron ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU?

It is the Zūm Wireless Universal Dimmer Module, a single-channel dimmer rated 16A at 100-277V that brings universal phase control dimming to a Zūm wireless commercial lighting system. It dims LED, incandescent, electronic and magnetic low-voltage, neon/cold cathode and 2-wire fluorescent loads and communicates over Zūm Mesh.

How does the ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU choose its dimming mode?

In normal operation it detects the connected load type and selects the mode automatically: reverse phase (trailing edge) for incandescent and electronic low-voltage loads, and forward phase (leading edge) for loads such as LED and magnetic low-voltage. A DIM MODE button behind the cover lets you select auto detect, reverse, forward or centre phase, with LEDs showing the active mode.

How is it different from the ZUMLINK-EXP-16A-DIMU?

Both are single-channel 16A universal dimmers for the same load types. The ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU communicates wirelessly over Zūm Mesh with a supplied antenna and has a SETUP button for room setup, while the ZUMLINK-EXP-16A-DIMU connects to Zūm wired devices through two RJ-45 Zūm Link ports. Choose the one that matches the existing Zūm system.

What does the zero-cross filter do?

Crestron's zero-cross filter technology compensates for line voltage and frequency fluctuations, which improves immunity to power line noise and reduces lamp flicker. A ZEROCROSS FILTER button behind the cover enables or disables the filter. Basic zero-cross detection is the default, and BASIC and FILTER LEDs show which mode is active.

How is the ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU mounted?

The NEMA Type 1 enclosure surface mounts and must be fitted upright on a vertical surface, with at least 6 in. (153 mm) of clear space above and below. It measures 224 mm high, 163 mm wide and 81 mm deep, and operates from 0° to 45°C. Wiring uses captive screw terminals for 24 to 10 AWG wire.

How much is the Crestron ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU?

Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU 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 ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU?

Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU 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 ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU come with a warranty?

Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU 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 ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU 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 ZUMMESH-EXP-16A-DIMU 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.
