Cameo™ Keypads Crestron C2N/C2NI-CB Series
The basic Cameo keypad colors are black, white, and almond. The keypad’s colors and finishes can be used to accent a home’s colors, wall coverings, or décor. Additional designer colors are available. (Contact a Crestron customer service representative for details.)
Mounting options include a choice of installation as a standalone device using Crestron’s exclusive flush-mounting system; or, for the domestic keypads, Decorator installation in a conventional gang-box using standard Decora mounting (electrical box optional). The flush-mounting system is the ultimate low-profile appearance that results in a footprint that is up to 75% smaller than a standard Decora style faceplate, and blends into any room effortlessly. Refer to Assembly and Installation procedures, which start on page 12, for details.
Each Cameo keypad is supplied with six single-row button caps, three double-row button caps, and two triple-row button caps as well as two single-row spacers, one double-row spacer, and one triple-row spacer.

All switches on the keypad are functionally identical. White feedback LEDs to the left of each row are independently addressable and indicate which switches are active. The intensity of the feedback LEDs is programmable from 0 to 100%. Button caps have white LED backlighting that is programmable from 0 to 100% intensity as well. In certain circumstances, such as when using black button caps, true backlighting is not practical. Instead, the program can use the feedback LEDs to perform a backlighting function, turning them all on but at a fixed percentage of their active state intensity.
For programming details, refer to “Cameo Symbol in Programming Manager,” on page 27.

Physical Description

The number of active switches on a keypad can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. Active switches and spacers can be mixed and arranged as needed to suit a particular application. LEDs along the side of the keypad identify the active switches.
Each keypad has a mini Cresnet network port labeled 24 Y Z G. The port provides for operating power and for communication to/from the keypad.
Keypad Physical Views
4 Cameo™ Keypads: C2N/C2NI-CB Series Operations & Installation Guide - DOC. 6346A
Crestron C2N/C2NI-CB Series Cameo™ Keypads
The previous illustration shows three of many possible flush mount configurations: two double-row switches with two single-row switches (A); three double-row switches (B); and six single-row switches (C), all with the LED indicators on the left. A UK-style configuration with three double-row switches is also shown (D). The button caps are tapered and are arranged here in a shingle style with the narrow part of the button cap at the top. Each button cap can, however, be arranged in either orientation, and the overall keypads can be installed with the LEDs on the right. Spacers are flat and flush with the front of the bezel surface. Button caps are laser-engravable using the Crestron Engraver software; spacers are not. The engraving software provides up to three fields for each button cap to allow for the left/right and center press functions, permits multiple lines of text, and also allows you to specify the orientation of each button cap. The Crestron Engraver software, Version
2.4 or later, is available from the Crestron website.
The following illustrations provide overall dimensions of the three keypad styles.

Setup

Network Wiring

CAUTION: In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire, and only Crestron Certified Wire, should be used. Failure to do so may incur additional charges if support is required to identify performance deficiencies as a result 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 (http://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 a 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.
Cable Length Equation
L = Length of run (or chain) in feet. R = 6 Ohms (Crestron Certified Wire: 18 AWG (0.75 MM
P = Cresnet power usage of entire run (or chain).
2
))
L <
40,000
R x P
Where:
Make sure the cable length value is less than the value calculated on the right side of the equation. For example, a Cresnet run drawing 20 watts should not have a length of run more than 333 feet.
Operations & Installation Guide - DOC. 6346A Cameo™ Keypads: C2N/C2NI-CB Series 9
Cameo™ Keypads Crestron C2N/C2NI-CB Series
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.
NOTE: 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.
NOTE: For larger networks (i.e., greater than 28 network devices), it may become necessary to add a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality throughout the network. Also, for networks with lengthy cable runs, it may be necessary to add a Hub/Repeater after only 20 devices.

Identity Code

Every equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique identity code (Net ID). These codes are two-digit hexadecimal numbers from 03 to FE. (Net ID 02 is reserved for master control units). The Net IDs reside within all Cresnet devices (hardware) and must match the Net ID as specified in the software (SIMPL Windows) that runs the system. Refer to “Setting the Net ID in Device Settings” on page 27 for details of the SIMPL Windows procedure.
The Net ID of the keypad has been factory set to 25. The Net IDs of multiple keypads in the same system must be unique. Net IDs are changed from a personal computer (PC) via the Crestron Toolbox.
NOTE: For detailed information on establishing communication between the PC and control system, refer to “Communication Settings” on page 29. If communication cannot be established, refer to the “Troubleshooting Communications” section in the latest version of the 2-Series Control System Reference Guide (Doc. 6256), or the respective Operations Guide for the control system. Both are available from the Crestron website (http://www.Crestron.com/manuals).
10 Cameo™ Keypads: C2N/C2NI-CB Series Operations & Installation Guide - DOC. 6346A
Crestron C2N/C2NI-CB Series Cameo™ Keypads
The Crestron Toolbox provides several methods to easily set or change device Net IDs for any device on the network. The following method permits you to change the Net ID of any device in the network through the “Network Device Tree” window.
NOTE: This method prevents you from setting duplicate IDs.
This method lets you manually set the Net ID for any device in the network, can be used to set any known Net IDs that require changing, and may also be used for non-TSID equipment. This method will not permit you to choose an ID already in use by another device. A warning message will appear if you attempt to use an ID that is already in use.
Duplicate Net ID Warning Message
This method does not change the Net ID as assigned in SIMPL windows. Refer to page 27 for the SIMPL Windows ID change procedure.
NOTE: You may also use SystemBuilder to perform Network ID setup.
1. Connect all network devices to the control system.
2. Open Crestron Toolbox and establish communications (refer to page 29).
3. Select the Network Device Tree

6. Repeat this procedure for each additional network device requiring a Net ID change.

Assembly and Installation

Assembly of the keypad consists of placing the button caps/spacers in position based on how the unit is programmed, securing them together with a plastic button support, putting the button cap/spacer assembly in place on the rear housing and switch assembly, and attaching the bezel.
The button caps are tapered, and are often installed in a shingle-style pattern (refer to the “Keypad Physical Views” illustration on page 4). Usual orientation of the keypad is with the LEDs on the left. It can, however, be inverted with the LEDs on the right, but the original relationship of the button numbers to the LEDs remains, i.e., with the unit inverted, row one is on the bottom – row six is on the top, and programming of the switches would have to be done accordingly.

You can create a program that allows you to include the Cameo keypad in a Crestron control system using the Crestron programming tools Crestron SystemBuilder are intended for users with different levels of programming knowledge. The flexibility of each tool is proportional to the degree of programming expertise (i.e., the more flexible, the more a programmer needs to know and account for). Of course, one can initiate programming using the easiest method (SystemBuilder or D3 Pro) and use advanced techniques that are available from SIMPL Windows to customize the job.

Crestron C2N/C2NI-CB Series Cameo™ Keypads
Crestron D3 Pro similarly offers automatic programming for lighting, HVAC, and security.
Both Crestron SystemBuilder and D3 Pro are fully integrated with Crestron's suite of software development tools, including SIMPL Windows, VT Pro-e, and the Crestron Database. Both access these tools behind the scenes, enabling you to easily create robust systems.

Programming with SIMPL Windows

NOTE: The following assumes that the reader has knowledge of SIMPL Windows. If not, refer to the extensive help information provided with the software.
NOTE: In the following description, the PRO2 control system is used.
SIMPL Windows is Crestron's software for programming Crestron control systems. It provides a well-designed graphical environment with a number of workspaces (i.e., windows) in which a programmer can select, configure, program, test, and monitor a Crestron control system. SIMPL Windows offers drag and drop functionality in a familiar
Windows This section describes a sample SIMPL Windows program that includes a
Cameo keypad. Configuration Manager is where programmers “build” a Crestron control
system by selecting hardware from the Device Library. In Configuration Manager, drag the PRO2 from the Control Systems folder of the Device Library and drop it in the upper pane of the System Views. The PRO2 with its associated communication ports is displayed in the System Views upper pane.
PRO2 System View
environment.
The System Views lower pane displays the PRO2 system tree. This tree can be expanded to display and configure the communications ports.

C2Net-Device Slot in Configuration Manager

To incorporate a Cameo keypad into the system, drag the C2N-CB from the Wired Keypad folder of the Device Library and drop it in System Views. The PRO2 system tree displays the C2N-CB in Slot 9, with a default Net ID of 25 as shown in the following illustration.
C2Net Device, Slot 9
NOTE: The first Cameo keypad in a system is preset with a net ID of 25 when its symbol is dragged into the upper pane of System Views. Additional units are assigned different numbers as they are added.

Crestron C2N/C2NI-CB Series Cameo™ Keypads

Setting the Net ID in Device Settings

Double-click the C2N-CB icon in the upper pane to open the “Device Settings” window. This window displays C2N-CB device information. Select the Net ID tab to change the Net ID, as shown in the following figure.
C2N-CB Device Settings Window
NOTE: This procedure sets the Net ID for the C2N-CB in the program only. It does not automatically set the Net ID for the keypad itself.
NOTE: SIMPL Windows automatically changes Net ID values of a device added to a program if a duplicate device or a device with the same Net ID already exists in the program. Always ensure that the hardware and software settings of the Net ID match. For Net ID hardware setting details, refer to “Identity Code” on page 10.

Cameo Symbol in Programming Manager

Programming Manager is where programmers “program” a Crestron control system by assigning signals to symbols. For detailed information, refer to the SIMPL program help file (F1).

Button Arrangement Mounting Option

The following illustration shows the arrangement of the buttons and feedback LEDs on the keypad.
Operations & Installation Guide - DOC. 6346A Cameo™ Keypads: C2N/C2NI-CB Series 27
Cameo™ Keypads Crestron C2N/C2NI-CB Series
Cameo Keypad Button and Feedback LED Arrangement
In cases where it is desirable to mount the keypad with the feedback LEDs on the right, programmers will have to take into account that physically, button 6 is now at the top, button 1 is at the bottom, and that the right and left switch positions are reversed. Bear in mind, however, that when combining buttons in this orientation, the usual programming constraints still apply. For example, if merging buttons 4, 5, and 6, even though button 6 is now physically at the top of the keypad, button 4 still controls the mode of the merged buttons.
NOTE: A Crestron module in Crestron Database version 17.1.0, the C2N-Cameo Bargraph Feedback v1.0, makes it possible to use the feedback LEDs like a bargraph, so that for a function like volume control, as the switches are used to control the volume, the LEDs display its approximate level.

Example Program

An example program for the Cameo keypad is available from the “Example Program” section of the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com/exampleprograms
). Search for C2N-CB

Uploading and Upgrading

NOTE: Crestron recommends that you use the latest software and that each device contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released features. Please check the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com/updates firmware. New users are required to register to obtain access to this site.
Assuming a PC is properly connected to the entire system, Crestron programming software allows the programmer to upload programs to the control system after their development and firmware upgrades to network devices. However, there are times when the files for the program are compiled and not uploaded. Instead, compiled files may be distributed from programmers to installers, from Crestron to dealers, etc. Even firmware upgrades are available from the Crestron website as new features are developed after product releases. In those instances, one has the option to upload via the programming software or to upload and upgrade via the Crestron Toolbox.
