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-BSU-CLR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Where would I use a Camden CM-48 mounting post instead of just mounting the push plate on the wall?
A mounting post is what you reach for when there is nowhere suitable next to the door, open glass fronts, curbside approaches, wide vestibules, or a drive-up lane. The CM-48 post carries the switch, keypad or card reader out to where the user actually is, and it can be hard-wired or run wireless with Camden radio controls if you cannot get conduit to that spot.
2) What size device opening does the CM-48-BSU post have?
The BSU version comes with a single gang prep, so it accepts one standard single gang device, a push plate switch, keypad, card reader or similar activation device. If the device you are mounting needs a different cutout, you need a different prep in the CM-48 family rather than the BSU.
3) Do I need to order the in-ground base separately for a Camden CM-48 post?
No, the base is part of the ordering choice. Each finish is offered two ways, with an in-ground mounting base (the -IG part numbers, such as CM-48-BSU-SS-IG) or without a base (CM-48-BSU-SS). Pick -IG when you are setting the post into grade or a concrete pour; pick the plain version when you are landing it on an existing prepared surface or using your own anchoring.
4) What voltage do I need to run to a Camden CM-48 post?
It works on 12VAC/DC, 24VDC or 24VAC, drawing 40 mA, so it will sit on the same low voltage supply as most access control and operator packages. Contacts are rated 3 amps at 30 V.
5) Can the relay in the Camden CM-48 be set fail-safe or fail-secure in the field?
Yes, fail-safe or fail-secure is field selectable, so one part covers both mag lock and electric strike jobs. There is one relay, SPDT, with multi function action and Event or Toggle operating modes.
6) What finishes does the Camden CM-48 single gang post come in, and which are exterior grade material?
Four: dark bronze anodized aluminum, clear anodized aluminum, milled aluminum and satin stainless steel. The bronze and clear anodized are the two with an applied anodic finish; milled is bare aluminum; satin stainless is the stainless steel body. For exposed exterior installs most specifiers go stainless or anodized rather than mill.
7) Can I wire a request to exit and a door contact into the Camden CM-48 post?
Both are supported inputs, REX and door contact. That lets the post handle egress signalling and door position monitoring alongside the activation device it houses, instead of running those back to a separate controller.
8) How wide is the Camden CM-48 mounting post footprint?
Published dimensions are 5.5 inches by 5.25 inches, useful when you are checking clearance against a walkway, a guide rail or a bollard line before setting the base.
9) Can I use a wireless push button on the CM-48 post so I do not have to trench for conduit?
Yes. The post is built with provisions for wireless operation using Camden radio controls as well as for hard-wiring, which is the usual way around a long exterior run or a finished hardscape you do not want to cut.
10) Is the Camden CM-48 post rated for commercial door openings?
It is a commercial access control product, not residential, intended for door activation devices on commercial and institutional openings, and it is offered in stainless steel or aluminum construction.
