Crestron HZ2-KPEX-B – In-Wall Wireless Keypad, Black

Product Overview

The Crestron HZ2-KPEX-B is a multi-button in-wall keypad with infiNET EX 2.4 GHz wireless communication, Black finish, and standard factory engraving. Unlike a single on/off switch, it provides multiple programmable buttons for triggering lighting scenes, switching AV zones, or controlling motorized shading from a single wall plate. The Black finish is well-suited to modern and contemporary commercial interiors where dark trim is a design specification.

Product Description

The HZ2-KPEX-B is part of the Crestron Horizon 2 series, which brings infiNET EX wireless mesh to in-wall control devices. The keypad operates at 120 VAC and communicates through the infiNET EX network without requiring a low-voltage wiring run from the device to the processor — reducing installation cost in both new construction and retrofit projects.

Each button on the keypad is independently programmable within the Crestron control system, allowing integrators to assign specific scenes or commands per room. Standard factory engraving is included. An infiNET EX gateway is required. The Black finish differentiates it visually in executive boardrooms, media rooms, and contemporary hospitality environments where white or almond hardware would conflict with the design intent.
