HTT-B10EX Button Installation
NOTE: The HTT-B10EX comes from the factory with a protective plastic overlay
installed to prevent scratches on the metal face. Remember to remove this overlay prior
to handing the product over to the customer.
Local Button Feedback
Local button feedback provides positive conrmation for a button press. When enabled,
the LED next to the pressed button lights for as long as the button is pressed. Use SIMPL
Windows to enable or disable local button feedback.
When local button feedback is disabled (default) in SIMPL Windows, all button feedback is
governed by the control system program.
Hardware Hookup
The only connection to the HTT-B10EX is for the included 12 volt power pack.
NOTE: The HTT-B10EX cannot charge rechargeable AA batteries.
When connecting the HTT-B10EX, consider the following:
• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.
• The included cable cannot be extended.

Wireless Communications
The device connects to the Crestron network via the inNET EX communications protocol.
Use the procedures outlined below to join or leave an inNET EX network and to verify
communications between the device and the control system.
Joining an inNET EX Network
Before a device can be used in a lighting system, it must rst join an inNET EX network
by being acquired by an inNET EX gateway.
NOTE: A device can be acquired by only one gateway.
1. Put the inNET EX gateway into Acquire mode from the unit itself or from Crestron
Toolbox™, as described in its manual at www.crestron.com/manuals.
NOTE: In an environment where multiple gateways are installed, only one
gateway should be in Acquire mode at any time.
2. Place the device into Acquire mode.
a. Tap either the left or right top buttons three times, and then press and hold it
down (tap-tap-tap-press+hold) until the corresponding LED on the device ashes
once (this can take up to 10 seconds).
b. Release the button to start the acquire process. The left or right top button LED
blinks slowly to show that the device is actively scanning the inNET EX network.
• The device is acquired when the left or right top button LED lights solid for 5
• If the acquire process fails, the left or right top button LED flashes rapidly. Tap
3. Once all devices have been acquired, take the gateway out of Acquire mode. Refer
Leaving an inNET EX Network
To leave an inNET EX network, put the device into Acquire mode, as described in
“Joining an inNET EX Network” above, when no gateway is in Acquire mode.
Verifying Communications Status
To check the communications status of the device, tap either the left or right top button
three times and then press and hold it down (tap-tap-tap-press+hold) for up to 2 seconds.
The left or right top button LED blinks to indicate the communications status. Refer to the
following table for details.

Firmware Upgrade
NOTE: Before using the HTT-B10EX, ensure the device is using the latest rmware.
Check for the latest rmware for the HTT-B10EX at www.crestron.com/rmware.
Firmware is loaded onto the device using Crestron Toolbox.
Upgrade the HTT-B10EX rmware via Crestron Toolbox when powered via a 12 volt power
pack:
1. Establish communications with the HTT-B10EX and display the System Info
window.
2. Select Functions > Firmware to upgrade the HTT-B10EX rmware.
Upgrade the HTT-B10EX rmware via Crestron Toolbox (v. 2.36.216 or later) when
powered via batteries:
1. Select Tools > Network Device Tree View.
2. Right-click the gateway in the Network Device Tree View window.
3. Select Functions > Firmware Upload (Deep Sleep).
4. Click the Load Firmware File button in the Firmware Upload (Deep Sleep) window
and browse for the rmware in the Open window.
5. Once the rmware is selected, click Open to add the rmware to Firmware Images.
6. In the Assignments section, click the device (CTRL + click or SHIFT + click for
multiple devices) that the rmware should be assigned to. The row turns light gray.
NOTE: If a device is not located in the Assignments section, click Show all
Available IDs.
NOTE: If a deep sleep device has not been acquired by the gateway, assign the
rmware to an ID if the future ID number of the device is known.
7. In the Firmware Images section, click the rmware that should be assigned to the
device(s). The row turns light gray.
8. Once the device(s) and rmware are selected, click Assign Selected Image to
Selected Target(s) to assign the rmware to the device(s). The rmware is stored on
the gateway and assigned to the device(s).
9. Select a method to initiate the rmware upgrade on the HTT-B10EX:
• Allow the HTT-B10EX to automatically initiate the rmware upgrade, which occurs
every 24 hours.
• To manually initiate the rmware upgrade, enter or exit the room. The occupancy
sensor initiates the rmware upgrade once it detects occupancy or vacancy.
Operation
The behavior of the HTT-B10EX differs depending upon whether it is powered via the
included 12 volt power pack or via two AA batteries.
12 Volt Operation
When operating with a 12 volt connection, the HTT-B10EX operates in Bright and LED Off
mode.
When the HTT-B10EX enters Bright mode, the device maintains network connectivity,
provides rapid button press response time, and retrieves rapid feedback from the
gateway. It also enables the backlight control via ambient light sensors. The HTT-B10EX is
transitioned to LED Off mode if no button press or motion is detected for 30 seconds.
When the HTT-B10EX is in LED Off mode, the device maintains network connectivity. The
device disables the backlight and feedback. The HTT-B10EX reverts to Bright mode when
a button is pressed or motion is detected.
When 12 volt power is connected to the HTT B10EX, the device acts as a router and
repeater for other inNET EX devices.
Battery Power Operation
NOTE: The HTT-B10EX does not function as a repeater when using battery power.
When operating with battery power (no 12 volt connection is made), the HTT-B10EX
operates in Sleep mode, Fast Polled Wake mode, and Slow Polled Wake mode.
If no activity is present, the panel operates in Sleep mode, which disables the radio,
backlight, and feedback. The HTT-B10EX transitions to Fast Polled Wake mode when a
button is pressed or motion is detected.
When the HTT-B10EX enters Fast Polled Wake mode, the device maintains network
connectivity, provides rapid button press response time, and retrieves rapid feedback
from the gateway. It also enables backlight and button feedback. The HTT B10EX is
transitioned to Slow Polled Wake mode if no button presses are detected for 5 seconds
(motion does not keep the device awake).
When the HTT-B10EX enters Slow Polled Wake mode, the device maintains network
connectivity and responds immediately to button presses, retrieves feedback response
from the gateway every 3 seconds, enables the backlight, and enables feedback. The
device reverts to Fast Polled Wake mode on any button press. The device transitions to
Sleep mode after 10 seconds of no button activity (motion does not keep the device
awake).
As of the date of manufacture, the HTT-B10EX has been tested and found to comply with
specications for CE marking.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Compliance Statement
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference
