Features and Functions
(Continued)
1. Split small buttons may be installed in the bottom two positions only.
2. Buttons are backlit on the C2N-CBD-P, C2N-CBD-P-KP, C2N-CBF-P, and
C2N-CBV-P only.
3. Green on the C2N-CBD-E, white on the C2N-CBD-P, C2N-CBD-P-KP,
C2N-CBF-P, and C2N-CBV-P.
Customizable Buttons (All Except C2N-CBD-P-KP)
Exquisitely simple yet highly customizable, a single Cameo keypad can
be configured easily by the installer to provide from two to eight buttons.
Each keypad is actually furnished with an assortment of button caps in
four different sizes to support a variety of physical layouts.
Through programming, each button can be configured to use "button
events," affording up to three separate functions per button by tapping,
double-tapping, or holding the button. "Shift key" functionality is even
possible, allowing any button to be held while pressing another.
Auto-Dimming Backlight (All Except C2N-CBD-E)
High quality backlit laser engraving (sold separately) provides
customizable button text that is easy to read under any lighting condition.
A built-in light sensor controls the backlight intensity automatically to
achieve a crisp, legible appearance in both darkened and fully lit rooms.
Enhanced LED Feedback
Six pinhead-sized LEDs afford fully customizable feedback to show the
status of each button. Ten blink patterns are built in, enabling blinking
LED feedback while simplifying programming and minimizing traffic on
the Cresnet®network. Onboard bar graph logic allows the feedback
LEDs to function as a 6-segment bar graph display, providing clear level
indication while adjusting lighting and audio settings.
C2N-CBF-P
•Slim, inconspicuous flush mount appearance
•Five color-matched textured finishes available
C2N-CBV-P
•Fits Vimar brand mounting boxes, frames, and cover plates
•Two color-matched textured finishes available

Crestron C2N-CBD/CBF/CBV Cameo Keypads
Operations & Installation Guide - DOC. 7063E Cameo Keypads •5
Ambient Light Sensor (All Except C2N-CBD-E)
In addition to controlling the backlight and LED intensity, the built-in
light sensor can also be utilized by the control system to support basic
daylight harvesting and other programmatic functions. Refer to “Ambient
Light Sensor Operation” on page 32 for details.
Control Ports (All Except C2N-CBD-E)
Dual digital/analog input ports onboard the C2N-CBD-P,
C2N-CBD-P-KP, C2N-CBF-P, and C2N-CBV-P provide a local
interface for a range of devices including Crestron GLS Occupancy
Sensors and Photocells (sold separately), or any device providing a
contact closure, dc logic, or 0–10 volts dc analog control output. Using
the control ports, it is possible to add monitoring of room occupancy,
ambient light level, door closures, and other conditions without having to
home run extra wiring to the central equipment location.
Cresnet
Reliable wired connectivity is afforded via the Cresnet network, utilizing
a simple 4-conductor interface carrying 24 volts dc power and
bidirectional communications between the Cameo keypad and Crestron
control system (sold separately). Cresnet supports up to 252 keypads and
other devices.
Standard Wall Mount (C2N-CBD-E, C2N-CBD-P, and
C2N-CBD-P-KP only)
Cameo Standard Mount Keypads are designed for installation in a
standard electrical box, perfect for installation in a multigang box
alongside other low voltage devices. Available in a selection of finishes,
Cameo keypads match perfectly with popular off-the-shelf decorator-
style faceplates.
Cameo Flush Mount (C2N-CBF-P only)
Its unique flush mount design affords the Cameo Flush Mount Keypad a
very discreet appearance occupying just one third the space of a
conventional keypad. Employing a smart spring clamp mounting system,
the C2N-CBF-P installs easily in a drywall cutout without requiring a
backbox. An optional mud ring mounting kit (MMK-G1-CBF-T, sold
separately) is available to ensure a clean installation in plaster and
drywall, and can also be used to retrofit the keypad into an existing

6•Cameo Keypads Operations & Installation Guide - DOC. 7063E
1-gang electrical box1(sold separately). Available in a selection of five
textured finishes, Cameo Flush Mount Keypads blend perfectly with any
decor.
Cameo Pre-Programmed Functionality
(C2N-CBD-P-KP-SCENE and C2N-CBD-P-KP-ON-OFF
only)
These unique Cameo keypads provide engraved and pre-programmed
functionality directly out of the box. The C2N-CBD-P-KP-SCENE is a
seven button keypad which provides control for four different scenes
including up/down and off functionality. The C2N-CBD-P-KP-ON-OFF
is a two button keypad which provides simple on/off functionality.
Cameo Vimar Mount (C2N-CBV-P only)
The C2N-CBV-P keypads are designed to fit Vimar brand mounting
boxes, frames, and cover plates. Italian manufacturer Vimar offers a
range of designer faceplates and mounting solutions that are popular for
use in the marine market. Whether on a yacht or in a home or business on
land, the C2N-CBV-P facilitates customizable control of lighting, audio,
video, and other systems as part of a complete Crestron system.
EMerge Alliance Registered
These devices are EMerge Alliance registered and designed to work
within a 24 volts dc room-level power distribution system. The EMerge
Alliance is a not-for-profit open industry association leading the rapid
adoption of safe dc power distribution in commercial buildings through
