Cameo® Keypads
Installation & Operation Guide

Description

The Crestron® Cameo keypads present a fresh, innovative concept in keypad design,
featuring a highly congurable 1-gang wall mount form factor that is at once inviting to
the touch and appealing to the eye. The C2N-CBD-P, C2N-CBD-P-KP, C2N-CBD-E,
C2N-CBF-P, C2N-CBV-P, and C2N-CBV2-P easily install alongside other low-voltage
in-wall devices to deliver a fully customizable keypad control solution as part of a
complete Crestron control system.

The C2N-CBD-P, C2N-CBD-P-KP, C2N-CBD-E, C2N-CBF-P, C2N-CBV-P, and
C2N-CBV2-P are functionally identical. For simplicity within this guide, the term
“C2N-CBD/CBF/CBV” is used except where noted.

Hardware Hookup

CAUTION: Turn the Cresnet system power off before making connections. Do not
turn the system power on until the device is fully installed in the mounting surface.

When making terminal block connections, strip the ends of the wires approximately 1/4
in (6 mm). Use care to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires
that share a connection.

Make connections to the NET and INPUT ports.

• Using the supplied 4-pin connector, connect the Cresnet cable to the NET port of
the keypad.

• Using the supplied 3-pin connector (all except C2N-CBD-E), connect the contact
closure input cable to the INPUT port of the keypad.

Installation

NOTES: Observe the following points:

• Install and use this product in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and
regulations.

• A licensed electrician should install this product.

NOTE: Before using the C2N-CBD/CBF/CBV, ensure the device is using the latest
rmware. Check for the latest rmware for the C2N-CBD/CBF/CBV at
www.crestron.com/rmware. Load rmware onto the device using Crestron Toolbox™
software.

NOTE: Ensure that Cresnet power is off until the keypad is fully installed.

The C2N-CBD/CBF/CBV can be installed into an electrical box (C2N-CBD-P,
C2N-CBD-P-KP, C2N-CBD-E), ush mounted (C2N-CBF-P), or installed into a Vimar box
(C2N-CBV-P). Refer to the appropriate procedure below.

Electrical Box Installation

After the Cresnet network wiring has been installed and veried, install the keypad into a
standard 1-gang electrical box.

1. Holding the keypad with the LEDs on the left, place it in the electrical box.

2. Secure the keypad using the included #6-32 x 3/4˝ screws.

CAUTION: Excess wire pinched between the keypad and electrical box could
short out. Make sure all excess wire is completely inside the electrical box and
not between the box and the keypad.

Flush Mount Installation

After the Cresnet network wiring has been installed and veried, install the keypad in the
prepared hole.

1. Use the supplied template as a guide to cut the mounting hole for the C2N-CBF-P.
Ensure that the template is level and properly located on the wall. The keypad does
not offer a means of adjusting the keypad in the opening. The following illustration
(not to scale) shows the dimensions of the cutout template.

NOTE: Be very careful when cutting the hole. There are no adjustments for
alignment with the spring clamp. The optional MMK-G1-CBF-T Mud Ring Mount
Kit for Cameo Flush Mount Keypads (sold separately) may be used if the cutout
in the mounting surface is too large for the keypad.

3. Turn the Cresnet system power on.

NOTE: If the keypad needs to be removed from the mounting surface, use a small
at-blade screwdriver to carefully pry the keypad away from the mounting surface.
Without damaging the keypad or mounting surface, gently remove the keypad.

Vimar Mount Installation

After the Cresnet network wiring has been installed and veried, install the keypad in the
Vimar style electrical box.

1. Holding the keypad with the LEDs on the left, place it in the Vimar style electrical
box. The keypad snaps into place.

2. Turn the Cresnet system power on.

CAUTION: Excess wire pinched between the keypad and electrical box could short
out. Make sure all excess wire is completely inside the electrical box and not between
the box and the keypad.

Ambient Light Sensor Operation

The C2N-CBD-P, C2N-CBD-P-KP, C2N-CBF-P, C2N-CBV-P, and C2N-CBV2-P keypads
have an ambient light sensor that can be used to automatically congure the backlight to
operate in either Day mode or Night mode.

Backlight operation is based on ambient light level and a programmed threshold. Presets
based on the keypad color set the optimum backlight level for Day mode and Night
mode.

When using presets, observe the following:

• For light-colored keypads with dark engraving, the backlight turns on dim when in
Night mode and off when in Day mode.

• For dark-colored keypads, the backlight turns on dim when in Night mode and on
bright when in Day mode.

NOTE: Backlight levels can also be set manually.

The indicator LEDs automatically adjust their brightness based on ambient light, going
bright when the keypad is well lit and going dim when the room is dark.

When two or more keypads are to be installed side by side, ensure that the backlights on
all units are in sync. To do this, use the signals that are available on the programming
symbol to allow one unit to act as the master backlight controller and the rest as slaves.
