Integrated Keypad

Supporting up to five buttons in six available button configurations, the HZ2‑KPEX is configurable for a variety of applications. When connected to the Crestron network, the keypad can trigger remote actions.

Button Engraving

Each button on the assembly can be labeled with a custom laser-etched engraving to indicate its specific function. Engraved buttons can be illuminated using the device's LED backlights. Engraving is included with ENGRAVED models. Textured button assemblies without engraving (BLANK models) are also available and can be used as is or can be custom engraved by a third-party engraver.

Note: Glass and metal buttons can only be engraved by Crestron and are not offered blank.

When a custom engraved model is ordered, the completed engraved button assembly is installed on the device before it is shipped. Engraving files must be provided at time of order and can be created using Impress Custom Engraving Software, the Crestron Home® Setup app, the Crestron Home Online Configurator, or D3Pro® software. If necessary, custom engraving can be changed until the order is processed by emailing orders@crestron.com with the updated engraving file and order information.

To order replacement engravings, refer to the HZ2-BTNS ENGRAVED button assembly product page.

Multicolor Backlit Buttons

The engraved buttons are illuminated using the device's RGB LED backlights. Each button can be assigned custom color backlighting. The LED backlight provides feedback by changing the intensity, changing the color, or flashing to show that an action is being performed. Backlighting colors can be adjusted using Crestron Home software or other Crestron programming tools.

Local color theme sets the colors for all buttons on the device. In addition to the local color theme, each button can be assigned an alternate color theme. Thirteen local color themes are available that include Tunable White (default is Warm White), Neutral White, Cool White, and a variety of common colors. The local color theme and alternate color themes can be changed programmatically.

Field-Replaceable Button Assemblies

Field-replaceable button assemblies allow for changes in device function or for the customer to use the system before finalizing the engravings. The button assembly can be replaced with any custom engraved or blank HZ2-BTNS button assembly. All Horizon 2 devices can use textured, glass, or metal finishes.

Multigang Expansion with Horizon 2 Faceplates

Install up to four Horizon® 2 devices side‑by‑side in a US multigang electrical box with a compatible HZ2‑FP‑G series faceplate. When multiple devices are installed in a 2-, 3-, or 4-gang faceplate, the buttons on the devices are aligned to form one continuous control surface.

Ambient Light Sensor

To ensure optimal visibility under varying lighting conditions, the button backlighting and indicator intensity adjusts automatically according to the amount of ambient light in the room.

Multiway Control

Similar to traditional three‑ or four‑way circuits, the HZ2‑KPEX lets you control the lights from multiple locations using the traveler wire. Up to four devices can be connected to a single dimmer or switch. The HZ2-KPEX provides button backlights and six different engravable button assembly options while the HZ2-AUX provides no button backlight and only accomodates a single large rocker button assembly (Style 6).The multiway controller provides instant usability upon installation without the need for programming.

Note: The HZ2‑KPEX cannot be used to control a load directly. It must be used in conjunction with a HZ2‑DIMEX, HZ2‑DIMUEX, and HZ2‑SWEX, (all sold separately).

Standard Wall Mount

Horizon keypads are designed to fit in a standard electrical wall box, making them perfect for installation in a multi-gang box alongside other Horizon devices.

infiNET EX® Wireless Communications

infiNET EX wireless technology provides two‑way RF communications throughout a residential or commercial structure without the need for physical control wiring. Each infiNET EX device acts as an expander by sending command signals to other infiNET EX devices in range (approximately 150 ft (46 m) indoors) to ensure reliability and stability.

The device communicates with a control system via a Crestron Wireless Gateway (sold separately). Up to 100 infiNET EX devices may coexist on a wireless network.

Note: Any infiNET EX device that provides expander functionality will effectively extend the range of the wireless network beyond the initial range of the gateway. Battery-powered infiNET EX devices do not provide expander functionality. A dedicated infiNET EX Wireless Expander is also available (CLW-EXPEX, sold separately).
