About the Crestron CAEN-4X2
Two modules wide and four high, the CAEN-4X2 gives space for CLX Series lighting control modules alongside a control system such as the CLX-DIN-AP3 or PAC2M, for which it is pre-drilled. It is also pre-drilled for CLT Series terminal blocks. The backbox is 16-gauge galvanised steel with grounding blocks and low-voltage partitions, and there are plenty of provisions for wire termination and electrical knockouts for a clean, manageable panel.
Cooling is entirely by convection, as with all Crestron lighting and automation systems, so the enclosure runs silently, and a vented front cover is included. The CAEN range suits centralised designs, with the processor and modules in one place, and distributed designs, where a single PAC2M control system in a central enclosure can serve many satellite extension enclosures around a building. It is intended for 120 and 230 V systems.
CAEN enclosures also house DIN-AP4 and DIN-AP4-R control systems; mounting DIN 4-Series automation processors and Cresnet hubs requires the CAEN-UMP1X2-DIN-PWS. Enclosures without their own control system can be linked back to the main system with a CAEN-BLOCK or a CAEN-BLOCK-CENCN-2-POE fitted at the bottom. CAEN enclosures are UL and C-UL listed and also suit Class 2 and Class 3 wiring such as voice and data, security and RF distribution, where codes permit.

Questions about the Crestron CAEN-4X2
What is the Crestron CAEN-4X2?
It is an automation enclosure from the Crestron CAEN Series, 4 modules high and 2 modules wide. It holds CLX Series lighting control modules and a Crestron control system in a 16-gauge galvanised steel backbox, and it can be surface or flush mounted on a wall in residential or commercial projects.
How does the CAEN-4X2 compare with the CAEN-4X1?
Both are 4 modules high. The CAEN-4X2 is 2 modules wide, where the CAEN-4X1 is a single module wide. Construction, convection cooling, the vented front cover and the supported control systems are shared across the CAEN range, so the choice comes down to how many modules the panel needs to hold.
Which control systems can be mounted in the CAEN-4X2?
The enclosure is pre-drilled for CLX-DIN-AP3 and PAC2M control systems, and the CAEN range is also designed to house DIN-AP4 and DIN-AP4-R control systems. Mounting DIN 4-Series automation processors or Cresnet hubs in a CAEN enclosure requires the CAEN-UMP1X2-DIN-PWS.
How is the enclosure cooled?
Crestron lighting and automation systems are cooled entirely by convection, which keeps them silent and reliable. Every CAEN enclosure comes with a vented front cover, and the galvanised steel backbox includes grounding blocks and low-voltage partitions.
Can the CAEN-4X2 carry other low-voltage wiring?
Yes. CAEN enclosures are suited to Class 2 and Class 3 applications, including structured voice and data wiring, security and RF signal distribution, as permitted by the applicable codes. The enclosures are UL and C-UL listed and are intended for 120 and 230 V systems.
How much is the Crestron CAEN-4X2?
Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the CAEN-4X2 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-4X2?
Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the CAEN-4X2 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-4X2 come with a warranty?
Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the CAEN-4X2 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-4X2 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-4X2 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.
