It operates at 120 VAC and ships in a Brushed Black finish with standard pre-engraved button legends. This keypad is suited to lighting scene control, AV zone switching, and multi-function building automation in commercial and high-end residential applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HZ2-KPEX-BR-BLK communicates over infiNET EX, Crestron's 2.4 GHz self-healing mesh wireless protocol, eliminating the cost and labor associated with running dedicated Cresnet control wiring to each keypad location. Buttons are pre-engraved with standard legends, reducing field programming time for common scene recall and raise\/lower dimming functions. The Brushed Black finish coordinates with architectural hardware and decora-style electrical plates in modern commercial and residential interiors. An infiNET EX gateway is required in the control system for wireless communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003einfiNET EX 2.4 GHz mesh wireless communication — no Cresnet wiring required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-gang in-wall form factor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e120 VAC operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrushed Black finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard pre-engraved button legends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScene recall and raise\/lower dimming support with compatible Crestron dimmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Crestron Home and enterprise control platforms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-function control: lighting zones, AV sources, and building automation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighting scene control in commercial conference rooms, lobbies, and open-plan offices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAV zone switching in boardrooms and multi-room residential installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetrofit projects where running new Cresnet wiring is impractical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrestron Home platform deployments requiring wireless keypads at secondary control points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnterprise building automation with Crestron control processors and infiNET EX gateways\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e HZ2-KPEX-BR-BLK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Horizon 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommunication Protocol:\u003c\/strong\u003e infiNET EX (2.4 GHz mesh wireless)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 VAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brushed Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eButton Engraving:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard pre-engraved legends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm Factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single-gang in-wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGateway Requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e infiNET EX gateway required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Platforms:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crestron Home, Crestron enterprise control systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the HZ2-KPEX-BR-BLK require Cresnet wiring?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No. It communicates wirelessly via infiNET EX, so no Cresnet data wiring is needed at the keypad location.
