About the Crestron CAEN-7X1
At 7 modules high and 1 module wide, the CAEN-7X1 stacks lighting control modules in a single column. Like the rest of the range it is built from 16-gauge galvanised steel and pre-drilled for CLX-DIN-AP3 and PAC2M control systems, CLX Series modules and CLT Series terminal blocks. Grounding blocks, low-voltage partitions and ample wire termination and knockout provisions are included for a tidy, manageable panel.
The enclosure relies on convection cooling for silent, reliable operation, with a vented front cover supplied. It can serve as the main enclosure in a centralised system or as a satellite extension enclosure in a distributed one, where a single PAC2M control system in a central enclosure serves several others. CAEN enclosures are UL and C-UL listed, intended for 120 and 230 V systems, and suited to residential and commercial projects.
Where extra room is needed for surplus wiring or third-party devices, the CAEN-CK-7X1 cover extension kit adds 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) of depth to this enclosure. DIN-AP4 and DIN-AP4-R control systems can also be housed; mounting DIN 4-Series automation processors and Cresnet hubs requires the CAEN-UMP1X2-DIN-PWS. A satellite enclosure with no control system can be linked back using a CAEN-BLOCK or CAEN-BLOCK-CENCN-2-POE.

Questions about the Crestron CAEN-7X1
What is the Crestron CAEN-7X1?
It is a Crestron CAEN Series automation enclosure that is 7 modules high and 1 module wide. It houses CLX Series lighting control modules and Crestron control systems, mounts on the surface of a wall or flush into it, and is intended for residential and commercial lighting and automation systems.
How is the CAEN-7X1 different from the CAEN-7X2?
Both are 7 modules high. The CAEN-7X1 is 1 module wide and the CAEN-7X2 is 2 modules wide. They share the same galvanised steel construction, convection cooling and vented front cover, and each has its own cover extension kit: the CAEN-CK-7X1 for this model and the CAEN-CK-7X2 for the wider one.
Can I add depth to the CAEN-7X1?
Yes. The CAEN-CK-7X1 cover extension kit is made for the CAEN-7X1 and CAENIB-7X1 and adds 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) of depth. Crestron designed the CAEN-CK kits to accommodate excess wiring and third-party devices inside the enclosure.
Which control systems does the enclosure support?
CAEN enclosures are pre-drilled for CLX-DIN-AP3 and PAC2M control systems and are also designed for DIN-AP4 and DIN-AP4-R control systems. If you are mounting DIN 4-Series automation processors or Cresnet hubs, the CAEN-UMP1X2-DIN-PWS is required.
Is the CAEN-7X1 suitable for 230 V systems?
Yes. Crestron lists the CAEN range for 120 and 230 volt systems, and the enclosures are UL and C-UL listed. They can also carry Class 2 and Class 3 wiring such as structured voice and data, security and RF signal distribution, where the applicable codes permit.
How much is the Crestron CAEN-7X1?
Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the CAEN-7X1 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-7X1?
Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the CAEN-7X1 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-7X1 come with a warranty?
Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the CAEN-7X1 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-7X1 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-7X1 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.
