About the Crestron CAEN-7X2

With a layout 7 modules high and 2 modules wide, the CAEN-7X2 holds CLX Series lighting control modules in two columns alongside the control system. Its 16-gauge galvanised steel backbox is pre-drilled for CLX-DIN-AP3 and PAC2M control systems, CLX Series modules and CLT Series terminal blocks, and it comes with grounding blocks, low-voltage partitions and generous wire termination and knockout provisions.

Crestron designs its lighting and automation panels to be cooled entirely by convection, so they run silently and reliably, and each CAEN enclosure ships with a vented front cover. The range supports both centralised and distributed layouts: in a distributed system, one PAC2M control system in a central enclosure can serve numerous satellite extension enclosures across a home or commercial building. Mounting can be surface or flush.

For more depth to take surplus wiring or third-party devices, the CAEN-CK-7X2 cover extension kit adds 1.5 inches (3.81 cm). DIN-AP4 and DIN-AP4-R control systems are also supported, and the CAEN-UMP1X2-DIN-PWS is required to mount DIN 4-Series automation processors and Cresnet hubs. CAEN enclosures are UL and C-UL listed, are intended for 120 and 230 V systems, and can carry Class 2 and Class 3 wiring where codes permit.

Questions about the Crestron CAEN-7X2

What is the Crestron CAEN-7X2?

The CAEN-7X2 is a Crestron automation enclosure, 7 modules high and 2 modules wide, from the CAEN Series. It is designed to house CLX Series lighting control modules and Crestron control systems, and can be surface or flush wall mounted in homes or commercial buildings.

What is the difference between the CAEN-7X2 and the CAEN-4X2?

Both enclosures are 2 modules wide. The CAEN-7X2 is 7 modules high, while the CAEN-4X2 is 4 modules high. Otherwise they share the CAEN construction: 16-gauge galvanised steel, convection cooling, a vented front cover, and pre-drilling for CLX-DIN-AP3 and PAC2M control systems, CLX Series modules and CLT Series terminal blocks.

Is there a cover extension kit for the CAEN-7X2?

Yes. The CAEN-CK-7X2 is the cover extension kit listed for the CAEN-7X2 and CAENIB-7X2. It adds 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) of depth to the enclosure, giving extra room for excess wiring and third-party devices.

Can a DIN-AP4 be mounted in a CAEN enclosure?

CAEN enclosures are designed to house DIN-AP4 and DIN-AP4-R control systems. Crestron notes that mounting DIN 4-Series automation processors and Cresnet hubs in a CAEN requires the CAEN-UMP1X2-DIN-PWS. The enclosures are also pre-drilled for CLX-DIN-AP3 and PAC2M control systems.

Can the CAEN-7X2 be used for other low-voltage systems?

Yes. Crestron states that CAEN enclosures are well 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.

How much is the Crestron CAEN-7X2?

Crestron asks its dealers to give the price of the CAEN-7X2 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-7X2?

Yes. 1Install is an authorised Crestron Elite Partner with offices in Skerries, Co. Dublin and Cork. We can supply the CAEN-7X2 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-7X2 come with a warranty?

Yes. Everything we supply is new, genuine Crestron with Crestron's standard warranty. If the CAEN-7X2 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-7X2 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-7X2 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.
