Decentralized Wired Systems
A decentralized system is the traditional wiring system
of individual lighting circuits with local control. In the
traditional distributed design wiring method, Crestron wall
box dimmers can be retrofitted into a project after routine
high voltage wiring is completed.
In addition to the traditional high voltage wiring, a low
voltage communication wire can be run from the dimmer
to the nearest Cresnet® connection (or an RF wireless
control can be used). This design offers the end user the
familiarity of a traditional control coupled with the power
and flexibility of automation. In a distributed design, the
user has the ability to operate the lighting in the event of a
temporary control system interruption.
