Overview
The Crestron® Cameo® International Keypad C2NI-CB series offers an attractive, customizable
wall mount keypad for use in controlling lighting, shades, AV, and other functions in residential or
commercial applications. It installs in a single-gang European or UK electrical box, and is
available in a choice of almond, black, or white textured finishes. The keypad's push buttons are
configurable using a selection of button sizes with optional backlit engraving, and auto-
brightness control maintains clear legibility of the buttons under varying lighting conditions.
White LED indicators provide true feedback of system settings and status. The C2NI-CB
integrates with a Crestron control system or Crestron Home® system through a wired Cresnet®
connection.

Assembly
The following points must be considered during assembly:
lProduct should be installed and used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and
regulations.
lProduct should be installed by a qualified electrician.
lSensors must be mounted on a vibration free surface.
NOTE: Before using the C2NI-CB, ensure the device is using the latest firmware. Check
for the latest firmware for the C2NI-CB at Firmware. The firmware is loaded onto the
device using Crestron Toolbox™ software.
To assemble the keypad, do the following:
1. Place the light masks between the buttons to reduce backlight. The light masks will not fall
out of their locations but can easily be removed and relocated as necessary.
NOTE: Retain the extra light masks in case the keypad is reprogrammed for a
different configuration.

2. Attach the button strips to the housing assembly according to the program. Align the
button strip with the button strip mounting posts, and press the button strip to secure it
to the button strip mounting posts.

Mounting
To mount the keypad:
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver and the two provided 4B x 3/4in. screws, attach the mounting
plate to the electrical box.
NOTE: The mounting plate can be rotated 90° if necessary to accommodate the
orientation of the electrical box.

Product Manual — Doc. 6626E C2NI-CB • 13
2. Attach the housing assembly to the mounting plate.
NOTE: All wiring must be completed before attaching the assembly to the mounting
plate.
3. Attach the bezel by placing it in position over the button caps and snapping it in place.

14 • C2NI-CB Product Manual — Doc. 6626E
Wiring
The wiring process consists of connecting the unit to the Cresnet® system, connecting a dry
contact closure, if any, and attaching the unit to an electrical box.
NOTE: Verify there is sufficient Cresnet® power to power the devices.
To wire the keypad:
1. Connect the Cresnet cable (not supplied) to the NET port.
2. (Optional) connect the dry contact closure to the INPUT port.

Product Manual — Doc. 6626E C2NI-CB • 15
Button Arrangement
Each button cap can cover one or more buttons. When a button cap is pressed, the button
activated is determined by the size and placement of the button cap. All buttons are
programmable for press, double-press, or press-and-hold functions.
The top button in the left column is button 1L, followed by 2L, 3L, and so on. The right column
begins with 1R and follows the same pattern as the left column. Rather than supplying loose
button caps, complete sets of button cap strips are provided. Button cap strips can be mixed and
matched for the installation but the button cap sizes within a strip cannot.
Two Large Button Cap Strip Sets
Three Medium Button Cap Strip Sets
One Medium (Top) and Four Small Button Cap Strip Sets (sold separately)

Configuration
The Cameo keypad has an ambient light sensor that helps control the backlight in a dark room.
The three parameter settings that adjust the behavior of this sensor are Auto Backlight
Threshold,Max Auto Backlight, and Min Auto Backlight..
Choosing the proper values for these parameters depends on factors such as the color of the
keypad, the type and placement of lighting in the room, the orientation of the room’s windows
with respect to the sun, and personal preference.
To simplify this process, Crestron ships the Cameo keypad with preset values for the three
parameters. The preset values have been selected to produce an effect that should be
acceptable in many common scenarios.
To use one of the built-in preset settings, choose a nonzero value for the Auto Backlight Preset
parameter during programming. Select one of the following values:
1d - for white keypads (textured or smooth)
2d - for almond keypads
3d - for black keypads
If you plan to install two or more keypads side-by-side, you may want to ensure that the
backlighting on all units is always in synchronization. To do this, there are signals available on the
programming symbol to allow one unit to act as the primary backlight controller and the other
units to act as secondary controllers.
See the SIMPL help file for more information on the Auto Backlight function.
