Camden Door Controls CM-45K/A4 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Camden CM-45 push plate mount to a standard electrical box I already have in the wall?
The CM-45 and CM-46 4-1/2 inch square push plates mount to standard single or double gang electrical boxes, so an existing gang box in the wall or jamb is the mounting point. CM-45 uses concealed screws for a cleaner face; CM-46 uses exposed screws. If there is no box at the location, a Falcon 8310-819F rugged plastic actuator mounting box is a surface option for jamb and flush mounting.
2) Can I install a Camden CM-45 push plate without running wire back to the door operator?
Yes, order the kinetic wireless transmitter version. Models CM-45K/4 and CM-45K/A4 use a kinetic transmitter, meaning the push itself generates the signal, so no wire run and no battery at the plate. If you can pull wire, the wired models are CM-45/3 and CM-45/4. Both wiring options are offered across all five faceplate graphics, so the graphic choice does not lock you into one or the other.
3) What voltage does the Camden CM-45 push plate switch work on?
The CM-45 works on 12VAC/DC, 24VDC, or 24VAC, which covers the low voltage supplies on most swing door operators and access control power supplies. The switch itself is rated 15 amps at 30 VDC, so it will carry a direct load such as a maglock or strike rather than only signalling a controller.
4) Is the Camden CM-45 push plate switch approved for use on a fire rated door?
No. The CM-45 series carries no fire rating, so it should not be used as part of the hardware on a labeled fire door assembly. Use it on non-rated openings, vestibule doors, and accessible entrances.
5) Do I need a receiver to use the wireless Camden CM-45K push plate?
Yes. The kinetic transmitter in CM-45K/4 and CM-45K/A4 sends a signal, so a matching Camden receiver has to be wired at the operator or controller end to close the contact. Budget the receiver into the job. A packaged alternative if you want the pair supplied together from one kit is the LCN 8310-2210 touchless actuator kit, which includes dual actuators and a wireless receiver, though those actuators are touchless rather than push plates.
6) Is the Camden CM-45 a single pole switch, and can I get two sets of contacts?
Standard build is SPDT, one set of changeover contacts, one relay. A DPDT version is available as an option if you need a second set of contacts, for example to trigger the operator and drop a maglock at the same time. Spec the DPDT at order time; it is not a field addition.
7) Can a Camden CM-45 push plate go on the outside of an exterior door where it gets rain?
Weather resistant and water tight configurations of the CM-45 series are available, so an exposed exterior location is covered, but you have to specify that configuration at order time. The standard interior plate is not the same part. For an exterior post or bollard where there is no gang box, plan on a surface mount enclosure.
8) Push plate or touchless actuator for a healthcare or high traffic entrance?
A push plate like the CM-45 requires contact, which is the durable and simple choice: 15 amp at 30 VDC contacts, no batteries on the wired versions, and a flat plate on a gang box that anyone can operate. A touchless actuator suits infection control settings where users should not touch the plate; the LCN 8310-2210 kit pairs two battery powered touchless actuators with a wireless receiver. Touchless means battery maintenance at each actuator; the wired CM-45 has none.
9) Are the Camden CM-45 push plates the same size as a standard square actuator plate for a fleet of doors?
All CM-45 and CM-46 plates in the series are 4-1/2 inch square and land on single or double gang boxes, so every opening you standardize on takes the same cutout and the same box regardless of which graphic or wiring option you pick. That lets you mix wired plates where conduit exists and kinetic wireless plates where it does not, and still have every door look identical.
10) What is the difference between Camden CM-45 and CM-46 push plates?
Screw exposure. CM-45 is the concealed screw version, CM-46 has exposed screws. Both are 4-1/2 inch square, mount to the same standard gang boxes, and use the same 15 amp at 30 VDC SPDT switch. Concealed screws are the usual specification where the plate is on a finished lobby wall; exposed screw plates are common in service and back-of-house areas.
