Crestron DIN-BLOCK DIN Rail Cresnet ® Distribution Block

DIN Rail Cresnet ® Distribution

Block: DIN-BLOCK

Introduction

The DIN-BLOCK is a DIN rail mounted Cresnet ® distribution block designed to facilitate the termination of Cresnet wiring at a head end or distribution point. DIN rail mounting enables modular installation alongside Crestron ® DIN Rail lighting and automation control modules and other third party DIN rail mountable devices.

Features and Functions

• 12 port Cresnet ® distribution block

• Detachable screw terminal blocks for easy termination and troubleshooting

• Split power bus for flexible 24V power distribution

• Diagnostic LEDs for network power and data

• Passive device – no programming required

• 6M wide DIN rail mounting

Cresnet Distribution

Cresnet is the communications backbone for Crestron lighting modules, wall box dimmers, shade controllers, thermostats, keypads, touch screens and many other devices. This flexible 4-wire bus allows for combinations of home run and daisy chain wiring and the DIN-BLOCK provides a

Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 6670B DIN Rail Cresnet ® Block: DIN-BLOCK 1

DIN Rail Cresnet ® Distribution Block Crestron DIN-BLOCK simple means for connecting up to 12 separate Cresnet cables in parallel as part of any sized network.

Cresnet Power Distribution

In addition to data, Cresnet carries 24 Volts DC for powering the devices connected to it. The Cresnet ports on the DIN-BLOCK are arranged into two separate power groups, providing an easy way to manage the distribution of power for a complete Cresnet network. A separate power supply may be dedicated to each group or a single supply can be connected to both groups as needed. Each group supports up to 75 Watts.

DIN Rail Installation

The DIN-BLOCK is designed to snap onto a standard DIN rail for installation in a wall mount enclosure or mounted on a wall panel. Wiring connections are made using detachable screw terminals positioned along the top and bottom, clearly accessible from the front for easy installation and servicing. Diagnostic indicators are positioned on the center front panel. When installed in an enclosure utilizing 45 mm cutouts, the

DIN-BLOCK’s front panel stays visible while the connections are concealed.

DIN Rail Cresnet ® Distribution Block Crestron DIN-BLOCK

Setup

Network Wiring

When wiring the Cresnet network, consider the following:

• Use Crestron Certified Wire.

NOTE: Cresnet HP cannot be used.

• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.

• Provide sufficient power to the system.

CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the system

( www.crestron.com/calculators ).

• Use of a Cresnet hub/repeater (DIN-HUB) is advised whenever the number of Cresnet devices on a network exceeds 20 or when the combined total length of Cresnet cable exceeds 914 meters (3000 feet).

For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” on page 12.

Installation

The DIN-BLOCK must be installed by a licensed electrician, in accordance with all national and local codes.

CAUTION: This equipment is for indoor use only. Mount in a well ventilated area. The ambient temperature must be 0º to 40º C

(32º to 104º F). The relative humidity must be 10% – 90%

(non-condensing).

Crestron DIN-BLOCK DIN Rail Cresnet ® Distribution Block

The DIN-BLOCK is designed for installation on a DIN rail. Refer to the following diagram when installing.

Installing the DIN-BLOCK

DIN-BLOCK

Top

DIN Rail

(Not Supplied)

DIN Rail Release

1. Place the top of the DIN-BLOCK’s rail mount over the top of the

DIN rail.

2. Tilt the bottom of the DIN-BLOCK toward the DIN rail until it snaps into place.

NOTE: When mounting DIN rail products, it may be necessary to use a flat-head screwdriver to pull the DIN rail release tab while snapping the device onto the DIN rail.

To remove the DIN-BLOCK from the DIN rail, use a small, flat object

(i.e., a flat-head screwdriver) to pull the DIN rail release and tilt the bottom of the DIN-BLOCK away from the DIN rail.

NOTE: Certain third party DIN cabinets provide space for an informational label between each DIN rail row. Crestron’s Engraver software (version 4.0 or later) can generate appropriate labels for all

Crestron DIN rail products.

Hardware Hookup

Make the necessary connections as called out in the illustration that

follows this paragraph. Refer to “Network Wiring” on page 8 before

attaching the 4-position terminal block connector. Apply power after all connections have been made.

NOTE: Power must be supplied separately to POWER A group and

POWER B group.

When making network connections to the DIN-BLOCK, use a Crestron power supply.

DIN-BLOCK Troubleshooting

TROUBLE

POWER A and/or POWER

B LEDs do not illuminate.

POSSIBLE

CAUSE(S)

POWER A group and/or POWER B group is not receiving power.

Device is not receiving power from a Crestron power source.

Power supply is overloaded.

Y or Z LEDs do not illuminate.

Network wiring problem.

CORRECTIVE

ACTION

Verify the DIN-BLOCK is connected to a

Crestron power supply.

Use a Crestron power source. Verify connections.

Use the Crestron

Power Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the system.

Verify wiring connections.

Y and Z LED Illumination

The combination of the Y and Z LEDs and their brightness levels (bright, dim and off) indicate whether the input data signals to the DIN-BLOCK are correct. Refer to the following table for LED illuminations and associated data signal conditions.

NOTE: The Y and Z LEDS are provided to denote errors with the data signal inputs to the DIN-BLOCK. The LEDs do not indicate problems that exist in the output wiring from the DIN-BLOCK to other devices.

Check Network Wiring

In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of the installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire and only Crestron

Certified Wire may be used. Failure to do so may incur additional charges if support is required to identify performance deficiencies because of using improper wire.

CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.

Failure to do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty.

CAUTION: Provide sufficient power to the system. Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the system ( www.crestron.com/calculators ).

When calculating the length of wire for a particular Cresnet run, the wire gauge and the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be connected must be taken into consideration. Use Crestron Certified Wire only. If

Cresnet units are to be daisy chained on the run, the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be daisy chained must be added together to determine the Cresnet power usage of the entire chain. If the unit is home-run from a Crestron system power supply network port, the

Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire run. The wire gauge and the Cresnet power usage of the run should be used in the following equation to calculate the cable length value on the equation’s left side.

12 DIN Rail Cresnet ® Block: DIN-BLOCK Operations & Installation Guide – DOC. 6670B

Crestron DIN-BLOCK DIN Rail Cresnet ® Distribution Block

Cable Length Equation

Where:

L = Length of run (or chain) in feet

R = 6 Ohms (Crestron Certified Wire: 0.75 MM (18 AWG))

P = Cresnet power usage of entire run (or chain)

Make sure the cable length value is less than the value calculated on the right side of the equation. For example, a Cresnet run using 0.75 mm 2

(18 AWG) Crestron Certified Wire and drawing 20 watts should not have a length of run more than 101 meters (333 feet). Cresnet HP cannot be used.

NOTE: All Crestron certified Cresnet wiring must consist of two twisted pairs. One twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND conductor and the other twisted pair is the Y conductor and the Z conductor.

Strip and

Tin Wire

When daisy chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector and tin the twisted connection.

Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle. Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.

Add Hubs Use of a Cresnet hub/repeater (DIN-HUB) is advised whenever the number of Cresnet devices on a network exceeds 20 or when the combined total length of Cresnet cable exceeds 914 meters (3000 feet).
