Crestron CAEN-4X1 – Automation Enclosure, 4-Module High x 1-Module Wide

Product Overview

The Crestron CAEN-4X1 is a wall-mount automation enclosure sized to hold four CLX Series lighting control modules stacked vertically in a single-module-wide column. It provides a structured, code-compliant housing for CLX Series dimmers, switches, and relay modules, along with their associated wiring, in surface or flush-wall installations. The enclosure is constructed from 16-gauge galvanized steel with a perforated grey steel cover for ventilation.

Product Description

The CAEN enclosure series is the standard installation chassis for Crestron CLX Series lighting control systems. The CAEN-4X1 holds up to four CLX module positions in a vertical single-wide column, making it well-suited for smaller residential zones or individual rooms. When outfitted with the CAEN-UMP1X2-DIN-PWS DIN rail adapter, the enclosure can also house DIN-AP4 or DIN-AP4-R control processors. A PAC2M processor may also be installed directly in the enclosure. All wiring lands inside the enclosure, keeping the installation clean and accessible for service. The enclosure supports both surface-mount and flush-wall installation methods.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many CLX modules does the CAEN-4X1 hold?

The CAEN-4X1 holds four CLX module positions arranged in a single column (4 high x 1 wide). Each position accommodates one CLX Series dimmer, switch, or relay module. For larger systems requiring more module positions, Crestron offers wider CAEN enclosures such as the CAEN-4X2 or CAEN-4X4.

Does the CAEN-4X1 include the CLX modules?

No. The CAEN-4X1 is the enclosure only. CLX Series dimmer, switch, and relay modules must be purchased separately and installed into the enclosure during system commissioning.
