About the Crestron CAEN-4X1

The CAEN-4X1 is 4 modules high by 1 module wide. Like every CAEN model, it is made from 16-gauge galvanised steel and pre-drilled for CLX-DIN-AP3 and PAC2M control systems, CLX Series modules and CLT Series terminal blocks, with grounding blocks, low-voltage partitions and provisions for wire termination and electrical knockouts.

A vented front cover comes with the enclosure, and cooling is entirely by convection, as with other Crestron lighting and automation systems, for silent and reliable running. CAEN enclosures also house DIN-AP4 and DIN-AP4-R control systems; to mount DIN 4-Series automation processors or Cresnet hubs, a CAEN-UMP1X2-DIN-PWS is required. The range is intended for 120 and 230 volt systems.

In a centralised design the enclosure can hold the main control system and lighting modules, while in a distributed design one PAC2M control system in a central enclosure can serve many satellite extension enclosures throughout a home or commercial building. CAEN enclosures can also carry structured voice and data wiring, security or RF signal distribution, where the applicable codes allow.

Questions about the Crestron CAEN-4X1

What is the Crestron CAEN-4X1?

It is a CAEN Series automation enclosure, 4 modules high by 1 module wide. It is designed to house Crestron CLX Series lighting control modules and Crestron control systems, and it can be surface or flush wall mounted in residential or commercial buildings.

What size is the CAEN-4X1?

Crestron lists it as 4 modules high by 1 module wide, one of six sizes in the CAEN range. For the same single-module width in a shorter enclosure, the CAEN-2X1 is 2 modules high and the CAEN-1X1 is 1 module high.

Which control systems can the CAEN-4X1 house?

CAEN enclosures are designed for CLX-DIN-AP3, PAC2M, DIN-AP4 and DIN-AP4-R control systems alongside CLX Series lighting control modules. They are pre-drilled for CLX-DIN-AP3 and PAC2M systems, and mounting DIN 4-Series automation processors or Cresnet hubs requires a CAEN-UMP1X2-DIN-PWS.

How is the enclosure cooled?

Cooling is entirely by convection, as with other Crestron lighting and automation systems, which keeps operation silent and reliable. Every CAEN enclosure includes a vented front cover, and the backbox is 16-gauge galvanised steel with grounding blocks and low-voltage partitions.

Can CAEN enclosures be used in a distributed system?

Yes. The range suits centralised or distributed designs. In a distributed design, one PAC2M control system housed in a central enclosure can serve many satellite extension enclosures spread through a home or commercial building.

How much is the Crestron CAEN-4X1?

Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the CAEN-4X1 directly rather than publish it online. Add it to your quote list and we will send you a written quote, with delivery, and installation and programming if you need them.

Can 1Install supply, install and programme the CAEN-4X1?

Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the CAEN-4X1 on its own, or install, set up and programme it as part of your system. Installation visits are €440 for 4 hours or €880 for a full day, plus VAT and travel.

Does the CAEN-4X1 come with a warranty?

Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the CAEN-4X1 develops a fault, contact us and we will handle the claim with Crestron. If we installed it, our workmanship is guaranteed for the lifetime of the system.

Is the CAEN-4X1 in stock?

We order Crestron for each quote, so availability depends on Crestron's stock at the time. We check it before we quote and put the expected delivery date on your quote, so you know where you stand before you pay.

Can I buy the CAEN-4X1 without installation?

Yes. We supply Crestron to end users, with or without installation. Like most Crestron devices of this type, it needs setting up or programming before it works in a system, and we can quote for that too.
