Remove the DIN-2MC2

To remove the DIN-2MC2 from the DIN rail, use a flat object (e.g., a flat-head
screwdriver) to pull the DIN rail release and tilt the bottom of the DIN-2MC2 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.

NOTE: The control system program has a setting that can prevent locally saving the
override state. If this setting is enabled, the display shows “Er” when trying to save
override states. For more information, refer to the SIMPL Windows help file.
To save the motor state as an override setting, press the OPEN or CLOSE button to

Toggle Override Mode
To enable Override mode, press the OVR button. The OVR LED flashes slowly. Override
mode can also be toggled via a remote contact closure attached to the OVERRIDE port.
NOTE: If Override mode was enabled from an external device (i.e., a contact closure
connected to the OVERRIDE port), the OVR LED will flash quickly when the local OVR
button is pressed. Pressing the local OVR button has no effect when Override mode
was toggled via the remote connection.
To disable Override mode, press the OVR button again. The OVR LED extinguishes and
the outputs return to the states set by the control system program.
NOTE: If override levels have not been saved, the factory default override level is
100%.

Reboot the DIN-2MC2

To reboot the DIN-2MC2, press the RESET button. The outputs will be set to the states
currently specified by the control system program. If the control system does not provide
any values, the outputs will be set to the previously set values.
