CNX-B2/B4/B6/B8/B12

Introduction

Features and Functions

The CNX-B2/B4/B6/B8/B12-series Single Gang Keypads are wall-

mounted user interfaces that can be part of a Crestron solution total

control system. The keypads are standard Cresnet®devices, and provide

fingertip control when the control system is properly programmed using

SIMPL Windows. The number in the product’s name corresponds to the

number of buttons on the panel. Each of these panels is available in three

colors: almond, black, and white. A letter at the end of the product name,

‘A’, ‘B’, or ‘W’, denotes the color; i.e., CNX-B12B is a black 12-button

unit. For simplicity within this guide, the letter designating color is

omitted. Furthermore, even though the CNX-B12 is featured in

descriptions and illustrations throughout this guide, the information

herein applies to the other keypads as well. Exceptions are noted.

NOTE: Keypads can also be mounted in groups. For more information,

refer to the latest version of the B-G2-FP and B-G3-FP, Double and

Triple Gang Keypads (Doc. 8182).

Functional Summary

• Ergonomic buttons are easy to read from any angle

The keypads feature backlit-capable ergonomic buttons and are designed

for wall mounting in a standard single-gang electrical box. The keypad’s

colors and finishes can be used to accent a home’s colors, wall coverings,

or décor.

NOTE: The CNX-B12 keypad is supplied with 12 blank pushbuttons.

As an option, custom-engraved keys can be designed and obtained by

using the Crestron Engraver software. Version 2.0.1.5 or later is available

from the Downloads | Software Updates section of the Crestron website

(www.crestron.com).

NOTE: Designer series faceplates are also available for customized

single-, double-, and triple-gang configurations. Contact a Crestron

customer service representative for details.

NOTE: Temperature reading accuracy is affected by unit indicators and

backlight state.

All buttons on the keypad are functionally identical and have associated

light emitting diodes (LEDs) that serve as user feedback indicators. Each

LED’s illumination is independently addressable, and is programmable

using SIMPL Windows. The keypad also contains a temperature sensor

that reports to the Cresnet control system, and an audio speaker that can

provide audio feedback via WAV sound files.

In the program, the backlight and button LED intensity levels can be set

from 0 to 100%. Similarly, the speaker volume level can be set from 0 to

100%. Refer to “CNX-B12 Symbol in Programming Manager” on page

18 for details. Refer also to the note concerning temperature sensor

accuracy and LED settings on page 13.
