CAMDEN CM-48 SERIES 48" 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-48-DSU-CLR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Camden CM-48-DSU mounting post used for?
It is a 48 inch tall bollard-style post that holds a push switch, keypad, card reader, or other door activation device where mounting on the wall next to the door isn't practical, such as an open approach, a parking area, or a wide vestibule. The CM-7536 prep means the post comes machined for that switch, so you aren't cutting the tube on site. It can be hard wired, or run wireless with Camden radio controls.
2) Do I need the in-ground base, or can I bolt the Camden 48 inch post to a finished surface?
Both ways are offered. The in-ground base version is meant to be set into concrete or grade, and is available in dark bronze anodized aluminum and clear aluminum. The versions without a mounting base are ordered in dark bronze, clear, milled aluminum, and satin stainless. Pick the in-ground option for a new exterior walkway pour; pick the no-base version when you are landing it on an existing slab or an owner-supplied base.
3) What voltage does the Camden CM-48 post's control run on, and how much current does it draw?
12VAC/DC or 24VAC/DC, drawing 40 mA. That range lets it sit on the same low voltage supply already feeding most automatic operators and access control panels, so you usually don't need a separate transformer at the post.
4) Can the relay in this Camden post switch my door operator directly?
It has one SPDT relay rated 3 amps at 30 V, which handles a dry-contact activation input to an automatic operator or an access control panel. That rating is a signal-level contact, not a power contact, so do not run door strike or operator motor load through it directly.
5) Can I run this Camden post without pulling wire to it?
Yes. The post has provisions for wireless operation using Camden radio controls, which is the reason a lot of these get specified in retrofits, no trenching across a finished walkway. It still has hard-wired provisions if you prefer a wired run.
6) Is the Camden CM-48 post fail-safe or fail-secure?
Field selectable, so one part covers either. You set it at install depending on whether the opening has to release or stay locked when power drops, which matters on egress doors where the AHJ has called out a specific behavior.
7) What wiring inputs does the Camden CM-48 mounting post accept?
REX (request to exit) and a door contact input. Relay action is multi-function with event and toggle operating modes, so you can set it to pulse the operator on each press or latch the door open until pressed again, which is what you want for a delivery entrance held open during a receiving window.
8) How much room do I need around the base of the Camden 48 inch post?
The post footprint is 5.5 inches by 5.25 inches, so allow at least that plus clearance from the path of travel. Stated height is 36 inches for the body, with the series sold as a 48 inch tall post overall once the base portion is accounted for. Set it where an approaching wheelchair user can reach the switch without being in the door swing.
9) Is the Camden CM-48 post rated for commercial exterior use?
It is a commercial product, built in stainless steel or anodized aluminum with an in-ground base option specifically for exterior mounting. The aluminum anodized and stainless finishes are the ones to use outdoors; milled aluminum is the raw option and is generally kept to protected or interior locations.
10) Where can I get the install instructions for the Camden CM-42 and CM-48 mounting posts?
Camden publishes a combined manual covering both the CM-42 and CM-48 series posts, and it doubles as the spec sheet. It is the document to pull before you pour, since it has the base and anchoring detail.
