Introduction
Features and Functions
The Crestron®C2N/C2NI-CB Series Cameo®keypads are a new
generation of wall-mounted user interfaces that can be part of any
Crestron total solution control system network (Cresnet®). The keypads
are available in three versions: C2N-CBF, Flush Mount (no back box
required) for domestic and international installation; C2N-CBD, Standard
Mount (decorator style), back box installation, for domestic installation;
and C2NI-CBUK, Standard Mount, optional UK-style back box, for UK
installation.
For maximum flexibility in all configurations, a complete set of button
caps and spacers in three sizes is included with every keypad. The
installer can customize and configure the backlit caps, for “rocker”
left/right action, single press operation, or press and hold mode—up to 18
functions in total.
Functional Summary
•Six switches, each programmable for left/right “rocker” action,
single press operation, or press/hold mode, enabling up to 18
functions
•Button caps and spacers supplied in single-, two-, and three-
button configurations—any combination may be used
•LED feedback and switch backlighting intensity are
individually programmable
•Exclusive flush-mount, decorator style, or traditional mounting
installation

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
decorator style faceplates; or for the UK-style models, traditional
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 decorator style faceplate, and blends into
any room effortlessly. Refer to Assembly and Installation procedures, on
page 12, for details.
Each Cameo keypad is supplied with single-row button caps, double-row
button caps, and 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
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.
The button caps are tapered and are arranged 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.
NOTE: A single button cannot be installed in the lowest position of the
keypad.
The following illustrations provide overall dimensions of the three
keypad styles.
