The HZ2‑KPEX Horizon® 2 keypad provides infiNET EX® wireless network control of lighting, shading, audio, and other amenities. Its design matches the entire line of Horizon dimmers, switches, and keypads, making it a great addition to new or retrofit installations.

The HZ2‑KPEX is available with default engraving on a five push button assembly (Style 1) or custom engraving on any style button assembly.

Default engraving on a five pushbutton button assembly (Style 1) is provided with the HZ2‑KPEX‑A, HZ2‑KPEX‑W, HZ2‑KPEX‑B, HZ2‑KPEX‑GLASS‑W, and HZ2‑KPEX‑GLASS‑B. The default engraving includes a simple dot to provide feedback and indicate where the button can be pressed.

NOTE: Faceplates are not included. Refer to the HZ2‑FP‑G series faceplates for more information.

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
Functions of each button on the button assembly can be identified with custom, laser-etched engraving. Engraved buttons can be illuminated using the device's LED backlights. Engraving is included with ENGRAVED models. Standard 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 Horizon 2 buttons can only be engraved by Crestron and are not offered blank.

When a custom engraved model is ordered, the 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 standard buttons, glass buttons, or a mix.

The HZ2‑DIMUEX devices are available in White (‑W), Black (‑B), Almond (‑A), White Glass (-GLASS-W), and Black Glass (‑GLASS-B) in the following styles:

HZ2-BTNS-1 (Style 1): 5 single buttons

HZ2-BTNS-3 (Style 3): 4 single buttons and 1 split rocker button;
Split rocker button is located in the second lowest button position

Note: The split rocker button does not allow for a center push and shares one backlight for the entire split rocker.

HZ2-BTNS-4 (Style 4): 3 single buttons and 2 split rocker buttons;
Split rocker buttons are located in the two lowest button positions

Note: The split rocker buttons do not allow for a center push and each split rocker shares one backlight for the entire split rocker.

Note: The large rocker button does not allow for a center push and provides a separate backlight for the top, bottom, and center positions.

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 for installation 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).
