CAMDEN CM-42 SERIES CM-7536 SWITCH PREP, 42" TALL MOUNTING POST

Camden mounting posts offer a superior method of mounting a switch, keypad, card reader, or other door activation device, when mounting adjacent to the door is difficult or unsuitable. The various preps allow for use with virtually any switch or door activation device. Mounting posts are available in stainless steel or aluminum. Aluminum posts offer the option for mill, brushed aluminum or dark bronze anodized finishes. The mounting post has provisions to be hard-wired, or for wireless operation utilizing Camden radio controls.

Camden Door Controls CM-42-DSU-BRZ – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size is the Camden CM-42 mounting post and how tall does it stand?
The CM-42 post stands 42 inches tall on a 6 x 6 inch footprint. That height puts an activation switch or reader at a comfortable reach from a wheelchair or standing user, and the 6 inch square section gives you room to run wiring up the inside of the post.
2) What is the CM-7536 switch prep on the Camden 42 inch post cut for?
The post is factory prepped for the Camden CM-7536 device. Camden offers the CM-42 post in a range of preps so the cutout matches the switch, keypad, card reader or other activation device you plan to mount, so pick the post by the prep that matches your device rather than drilling a blank post on site.
3) Can the Camden CM-42 post be used without running wire to it?
Yes. The post has provisions for hard wiring or for wireless operation using Camden radio controls, so if you are on an existing exterior slab and cannot trench conduit, you can run a battery or locally powered wireless transmitter inside the post instead.
4) Will the relay in the Camden CM-42 post switch a door operator or a maglock directly?
There is one SPDT relay rated 3 amps at 30 V, and it is field selectable fail-safe or fail-secure with both event and toggle operating modes. That handles an operator trigger or a low current lock circuit directly. For anything above 3 amps at 30 V, switch a separate relay or power supply output instead of loading this contact.
5) When should I use a mounting post instead of mounting the push plate on the wall?
Use a post when there is no suitable wall surface near the opening, which is common at entries with full glass sidelites, wide vestibules, curbside drop-offs, or where the nearest wall would put the actuator out of the approach path. The post sets the device where the user actually approaches instead of forcing the wiring into glass or a remote wall.
6) What finishes does the Camden CM-42 42 inch post come in?
Three: dark bronze anodized aluminum (CM-42-DSU-BRZ), clear aluminum (CM-42-DSU-CLR), and satin stainless steel (CM-42-DSU-SS). Aluminum is the anodized option if you are matching a bronze storefront; stainless is the choice for coastal or heavy wash-down exterior locations.
7) What voltage does the Camden CM-42 post switch package run on?
It accepts 12VAC/DC or 24VAC/DC and draws 40 mA, so it drops onto the same low voltage supply feeding a typical operator or access control panel without a dedicated transformer.
8) Does the Camden CM-42 post accept a request-to-exit and door position input?
Yes, REX and door contact inputs are both provided, which is what lets the multi function relay sequence an egress request and confirm door position rather than just pulsing on a button press.
9) Is the Camden 42 inch mounting post rated for commercial use?
It is a commercial access control product, intended for building entries where a wall mounted actuator will not work. Property managers standardizing a campus can order the same post in one finish across all openings and vary only the prep to suit whatever device each door uses.
10) Where do I find the mounting and anchoring instructions for the Camden CM-42 post?
Camden publishes a CM-42/48 Series manual covering both installation and specifications, and it is the document to check for base plate anchoring and wire routing before you pour or core the slab.
