Camden Door Controls CM-46/4 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What electrical box does the Camden CM-46 push plate switch mount to?
The CM-46 Series 4-1/2 inch square push plate mounts to a standard single or double gang electrical box, so on most retrofits you reuse the box that is already in the wall. The CM-46 uses exposed mounting screws; the companion CM-45 plate is the concealed-screw version if you want no visible fasteners.
2) What is the contact rating and voltage on the Camden CM-46 push plate?
Switching is SPDT rated 15 amps at 30 VDC, with a DPDT switch available as an option. Operating voltage is listed as 12VAC/DC, 24VDC and 24VAC, which covers the usual low-voltage door operator and mag-lock control circuits. One relay contact set is provided.
3) Can I use a Camden CM-46 push plate without running wire to it?
Yes. The CM-46 is offered with a kinetic wireless transmitter, which generates its own power from the press, so no wire run and no battery at the plate. That version is available in both satin stainless steel and blue. If you already have conduit to the location, the plain wired version is the simpler order.
4) What is an alternative to the Camden CM-46 4-1/2 inch square push plate for a healthcare opening that needs an antimicrobial faceplate?
The MS Sedco 59 BioPlate is also a 4-1/2 inch square push plate switch and carries an antimicrobial faceplate, which is the usual request on patient-care and food-service openings. The Camden CM-46 is offered in satin stainless steel and blue with exposed screw mounting, and is available wired or with a kinetic wireless transmitter, so if the wireless option matters more than the plate coating, stay with the CM-46.
5) What finishes does the Camden CM-46 square push plate come in, and can I get either finish wireless?
Two finishes: satin stainless steel and blue. Both are orderable wired or with the kinetic wireless transmitter, so all four combinations exist. Blue is the usual choice for a marked accessibility actuator; satin stainless blends with other architectural hardware on the opening.
6) Can a Camden CM-46 push plate be used outdoors or in a wash-down area?
The CM-46 Series is offered in weather resistant and water tight configurations for exterior entries and wet interiors. For a dry interior corridor the standard plate is what you want.
7) Can I get the Camden CM-46 with a wheelchair symbol or other graphics?
Yes, the push plates are offered with different graphics across the architectural finishes, so you can specify the actuator marking you need rather than a blank plate. Graphic choice is called out when you order.
8) What is another 4-1/2 inch square push plate switch if I need an antimicrobial faceplate?
For healthcare corridors where the touch surface matters, the MS Sedco 59 BioPlate is a 4-1/2 inch square push plate switch with an antimicrobial faceplate, same plate footprint as the Camden CM-46. The Camden is the one to pick if you need the kinetic wireless option.
9) Will the MS Sedco 59 BioPlate drop into the same opening as a Camden CM-46 push plate?
Both are 4-1/2 inch square push plate switches, so the plate footprint matches. The Camden CM-46 mounts to a standard single or double gang electrical box, so confirm the MS Sedco 59 is being set into the same gang box prep before swapping. Also confirm the switch contacts suit your controller: the CM-46 is an SPDT switch rated 15 amps at 30 VDC with one relay.
10) If I need a hardwired push plate rather than a battery-free wireless one, which Camden CM-46 do I order?
Order the wired CM-46/4 in satin stainless steel or the blue wired version. The kinetic wireless transmitter versions, CM-46CBK/4 and CM-46K/4, send the signal to a receiver instead of running switch legs back to the operator, which is what you want on a retrofit where you cannot pull wire. Both wired and kinetic versions come in the same 4-1/2 inch square exposed-screw plate.
11) What is the difference between the Camden CM-45 and CM-46 push plates?
Both are 4-1/2 inch square push plate switches that mount to standard single or double gang electrical boxes. The CM-45 series uses concealed screws and the CM-46 series uses exposed screws. Specifications otherwise line up: SPDT contacts, optional DPDT, rated 15 amps at 30 VDC, with various graphics and architectural finishes and weather resistant or water tight configurations offered.
12) Is the Camden CM-46 push plate switch rated for commercial use and can it go on a fire door?
It is a commercial-grade access control actuator, not a residential device. It carries no fire rating, so on a fire-rated opening the plate itself is not part of the rated assembly and any door control scheme on that opening has to be worked out with the rated door and hardware.
13) Is the Camden CM-46 the right choice for a fire-rated door assembly?
The CM-46 is a commercial push plate switch and is not a fire-rated device, so it does not contribute a rating to the opening. It operates on 12VAC/DC, 24VDC or 24VAC control power and is intended as the actuator for a door operator or access control circuit. If your submittal calls for a labeled assembly, the rating comes from the door, frame and closer hardware, not the actuator.
