PAC2M Professional Automation Mini Control System
The PAC2M is a compact, low-cost alternative to the
PAC2 designed for small lighting and automation
applications. At half the size of a PAC2, the PAC2M
is perfect for apartments and smaller homes as well
as individual meeting rooms and MDU applications.
2-Series Control System
Built upon the reliable Crestron 2-Series control engine,
the PAC2M is extensively programmable using the
Crestron suite of powerful development software and
vast database of drivers and software modules. The
PAC2M works seamlessly with the entire Crestron line
of lighting dimmers and shade controls, keypads and
touchpanels, thermostats, wireless gateways, and
expansion modules.
Whole House Integration
The PAC2M provides for the integration of non-Crestron
devices and subsystems through a host of control
interfaces. Four isolated relays and four digital input
ports are built in to accommodate motion sensors,
contactors, door strikes, and other low-voltage controls.
Additional relays, I/O ports, serial COM ports, DTMF
interfaces, and shade controllers can be added using
Crestron expansion modules at any location throughout
a residence or commercial facility.
Modular Enclosure or Wall Mount Installation
The PAC2M is designed to install in a CAEN automation
enclosure and provide a direct bus to a cabinet full of CLX-
Series lighting control modules. The PAC2M can also be
mounted directly to a suitable surface without an enclosure
where allowed.
NOTE: A separate supplemental power supply is required for
the PAC2M. It is recommended that power fed to the PAC2M
processor comes from a clean and uninterrupted source.
Ethernet and e-Control
®
2
Built-in 10/100 Ethernet facilitates secure high speed
network connectivity, enabling extensive capabilities for
remote system maintenance and control, and providing an
interface to other Crestron control systems. Native features
include a built-in email client to report system troubles and
other functions to a homeowner or maintenance/service
company via instant email notification. An onboard Web
server provides the foundation for the exclusive Crestron
e-Control 2 XPanel technology, providing secure IP-based
remote control using any Windows computer or
CE/PocketPC™ PDA device.
RoomView
®
and SNMP
For large facilities utilizing multiple PAC2M and other control
systems, the exclusive Crestron RoomView Help Desk
software delivers a comprehensive solution for remote
monitoring and asset management. Also, built-in SNMP
support enables similar capability using third-party network
management software, allowing full control and monitoring
from the IT Help Desk or NOC in a format that's familiar to
IT personnel.
Cresnet
®
Distribution
Cresnet is the communications backbone for Crestron lighting
modules, wall box dimmers, thermostats, keypads, and many
other devices. This flexible 4-wire bus streamlines the wiring
of a complete Crestron lighting system. The PAC2M provides
connectivity for numerous Cresnet devices on multiple
homeruns via 8 separate Cresnet ports. Its built-in Cresnet
hub provides two isolated segments, each supporting 3000
feet of cabling and approximately 25 Cresnet devices. The
Cresnet ports are arranged into two separate power groups
providing a clean, flexible 24 Volt DC power distribution
solution. An external power supply is required (sold
separately).
