Crestron 1700C-BTNB-BEZEL Button Bezel Kit
Button Bezel Kit:
1700C-BTNB-BEZEL
Introduction
The Button Bezel Kit (1700C-BTNB-BEZEL) includes the material to
add “quick” pushbuttons to a Crestron1700 Series touchpanel. A total
of ten pushbuttons, five on each side of the LCD screen, are included in
the kit. Use these buttons to access any frequently used commands with
or without waking the display. Each button is engraveable and has a
permanently fixed digital join number (refer to the illustration on the next
page). The sequence of digital join numbers is (top to bottom) 1 through
5 on the left side and 6 through 10 on the right side.
NOTE: The 1700C-BTNB-BEZEL-BLANK is an ancillary kit that
offers the same material as the 1700C-BTNB-BEZEL, except that there
is no engraving and the buttons are blank.
NOTE: A user may not want the LCD screen to come on after a
pushbutton is pressed when the unit is off. The Startup Preference option
allows the user to select whether the touchpanel’s display comes on or
stays off after a pushbutton is pressed. For more information, refer to the
latest touchpanel Operations Guide.
NOTE: A pushbutton can be used to flip a page (change a screen) on the
touchpanel. Refer to the Crestron VisionToolsPro-e help file (version
3.2.0.6 or later). Search the contents for ‘Hard Keys’ for direction to the
appropriate “Project Properties” section.

NOTE: To successfully send a pushbutton command when the
touchpanel display is dark, the user may have to press the pushbutton
twice with a minimum two-second interval between presses. This method
is preferred because when a panel display is inactive, the user cannot
discern whether the panel is in a standby or power down state.
Furthermore, a single pushbutton press may not be transmitted depending
on the state of the unit. For example, the DISPLAY ON FROM
HARDKEY DISABLED command in startup preferences ensures that
the panel display remains inactive.

* Use the Crestron Engraver (version 2.1.0.8 or later) to submit custom engraving requests.
The Engraver requires Crestron database (version 16.1 or later).
Installation
Perform the following to remove the existing bezel and install the
pushbuttons, new bezel, and supporting parts onto the Series 1700
touchpanel. A #1 Phillips screwdriver is required. Refer to the
illustrations that accompany the procedure.
1. Remove the battery and place the touchpanel face down on a
clean padded work surface.
2. Remove the four screws that secure the front bezel to the base
and return the unit to its normal position. (Use care and hold the

bezel to the rest of the panel. If the bezel separates while
rotating to its normal position, the internal parts of the panel
may spill out.)

3. When in the normal position, lift the bezel from the touchpanel.
4. Cover each membrane switch actuator with pushbuttons.
Observe that pushbuttons differ from each other by the
markings on the back. Pushbuttons marked 1 – 5 TOP should
be installed to the left of the touchpanel screen while
pushbuttons marked 6 – 10 TOP should be positioned to the
right of the screen.
CAUTION: DO NOT cut or separate individual pushbuttons from the
left and right pushbutton assemblies. Doing so will impair their use.
NOTE: The pushbuttons fit snugly on the membrane switch actuators.

5. Position the appropriate pushbuttons/membrane switch actuator
assemblies on the sides of the display, as shown in the
illustration. Edge alignment ensures that the openings in the
bezel will properly fit over the pushbuttons when the bezel is
attached in step 6.

6. Position the new bezel (with pushbutton cutouts) over the
exposed touchpanel. It may be necessary to lightly rock the
bezel so that the buttons align with the holes in the bezel.
7. Hold the bezel to the touchpanel base and carefully rotate the
entire panel onto its face once more.
8. Reinstall the four screws to secure the bezel to the base. Tighten
the screws, being careful not to strip the threads.

Problem Solving
Troubleshooting
If one or more pushbuttons do not function as expected, there are two
possible causes.
1. The touchpanel is an RF transceiver and is out of range.
The solution is to bring the unit back into range. Refer to the
“Out of Range Feature” section in the Operations Guide of the
respective touchpanel for more information.
2. A wrong SIMPL Windows program is uploaded to the
touchpanel.
The solution is to upload the correct SIMPL Windows program.
Refer to the SIMPL Windows help file for more information.
