Camden CM-5085PTE-R Single Gang-DPST 1-60 Second Pneumatic Red

5000 Series of push switches are heavy duty pushbuttons, specially designed and manufactured to meet the stringent demands of exit controls. Buttons are available in either green, red, or blue, 2-3/8” diameter. They are supplied with a 1/4” thick brushed aluminum plate in 2-3/4” width. Optional duranodic finish (US 40) is also available. No set screws are required, due to the bayonet interlocking of the modular assembly. Buttons are free spinning, for additional protection against vandalism. The switches are UL/CSA approved, rated at 6 amps @ 30 VDC. The design of the Camden push button is modular, so that the contact block switches can be stacked to control up to six distinct functions simultaneously. They can be configured for either spring return (momentary), push / pull (maintained), or push/turn to release (maintained) operation. Optional 1-60 second pneumatic timer. Pneumatic timer features 6 amps @ 30 VDC form Z (N/O and N/C) contacts. Push switches are designed to control overhead doors, electric locks, electro-magnetic locks, electric strikes, automatic doors, and handicap operators. They may also be used for shunting, bypassing alarms, request to exit, timed functions, and other applications. The switches are made for high frequency usage, in an indoor or outdoor environment. Push switches are versatile, and are supplied in various configurations to suit commercial, industrial and residential applications.

Camden Door Controls CM-5085PTE-R – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the pneumatic timer on the Camden CM-5085PTE-R actually do when someone presses the button?
Pressing the CM-5085PTE-R button trips a pneumatic time delay adjustable from 1 to 60 seconds, so the door stays unlocked for however long you set rather than only while the button is held. It's a spring return DPST switch with form Z (N/O and N/C) contacts rated 6 amps at 30 VDC, engraved 'Push to Exit'. That combination is what lets it release a maglock and hold the release long enough for someone to get through, which is the usual request-to-exit application.
2) Will the Camden CM-5085PTE-R switch handle a 12 or 24 VDC maglock circuit?
Yes. The switch is specified at 12/24 VDC with a contact rating of 6 amps at 30 VDC, UL/CSA approved, which covers the low voltage DC circuits used for electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, electric locks, overhead doors, automatic operators and handicap operators. Wiring is by color coded 18 AWG spade connections. It is a dry contact switch, not a power supply, so the lock power still comes from your access control or power supply.
3) Can the CM-5085PTE-R push button be mounted outside on an exterior door?
It is rated for indoor or outdoor use, with an operating range of -13 F to 158 F (-25 C to 75 C), so an exterior entrance in a cold or hot climate is within spec. The button sits on a 1/4 inch thick brushed aluminum plate, the button spins freely so it can't be unscrewed, and tamper proof screws are supplied, which is what you want on a public exterior wall.
4) Will a single gang Camden CM-5085 plate fit a hollow metal door frame, or do I need a wall box?
The CM-5000 Series is made for door frame, wall and pedestal mounting. The plate is 2-3/4 inches wide with a 2-3/8 inch (60 mm) diameter button, and the assembly measures 4 in L x 3 in W x 4.75 in H, so you need that much depth behind the plate for the switch body and pneumatic timer block. On a narrow frame mullion, check the stile face will take a 2-3/4 inch wide plate before you order.
5) Should I pick the timed CM-5085PTE-R or a plain momentary exit push button?
Pick the CM-5085PTE-R when the release has to stay open after the hand comes off the button, which is the normal case for a maglock request-to-exit on a delayed or slow-closing opening. If you only need contact closure while the button is held, a plain momentary switch in the same family covers it: the CM-5000 is spring return N/O SPST, the CM-5010 is spring return N/C SPST, and the CM-5020 is spring return N/O and N/C DPST. If you need the door to stay released until someone deliberately resets it, use a maintained model instead, such as the push/pull CM-5050 or the push/turn to release CM-5080, both red button only.
6) What else could I use instead of the Camden CM-5085PTE-R for a push to exit button?
For a single gang mushroom exit release with the same kind of engraving, the Dortronics 5210 Series (DRT5211-MP23) is a 1-9/16 inch diameter red mushroom button marked 'Push to Exit'/'Emergency Release'. If you want the button lit, SDC's 410 Series is an illuminated push button exit switch on a narrow frame mount, and the 420 Series is an illuminated switch with 2 inch buttons. For a larger emergency face, SDC's 440 Series uses a 2-5/8 inch diameter mushroom button, and the 430 Series is an industrial 1-1/2 inch round button. None of those alternates is described with a built-in pneumatic time delay, so if you need the 1-60 second hold at the button rather than at the controller, stay with the Camden.
7) What is the closest alternative to the Camden CM-5085PTE-R push to exit button from another brand?
The Dortronics 5211-MP23 is the nearest match in form and labeling: it is an exit release with a red mushroom push button mounted on a single gang plate and marked "Push to Exit"/"Emergency Release", the same single gang plate format and red push-to-exit labeling as the Camden CM-5085PTE-R. The two differ in button size - the Dortronics button is 1-9/16 inch diameter, while the Camden 5000 Series button is 2-3/8 inch (60 mm) diameter. The Camden unit also carries a 1-60 second pneumatic time delay with DPST form Z (N/O and N/C) contacts, which is the feature to confirm if your request-to-exit circuit needs a timed release rather than a straight momentary contact.
8) I need an exit button with a lighted button instead of a plain red one - what should I look at?
The Camden CM-5085PTE-R uses an unlit free-spinning red button on a 1/4 inch brushed aluminum plate. If you want the button itself illuminated, look at the SDC 410 Series illuminated push button exit switch, which is built for narrow frame mounting, or the SDC 420 Series illuminated push button exit switch with 2 inch buttons. Note that the Camden unit's distinguishing feature is its 1-60 second pneumatic time delay, so if the illuminated option is chosen you would need to handle any exit delay timing elsewhere in the circuit.
9) The Camden CM-5085PTE-R plate is too wide for my narrow aluminum door frame - what is the alternative?
The Camden CM-5085PTE-R is supplied on a 2-3/4 inch wide single gang aluminum plate carrying a 2-3/8 inch diameter button, which is more width than a narrow aluminum stile will accept. The SDC 410 Series illuminated push button exit switch is built specifically with a narrow frame mount for that condition. If you have the wall or mullion space and simply want the smaller footprint, the Dortronics 5211-MP23 uses a 1-9/16 inch diameter mushroom button on a single gang plate.
10) Does the Camden 5000 Series push button meet ADA requirements for an accessible entrance?
The 5000 Series buttons are stated to meet ADA requirements, helped by the 2-3/8 inch diameter button face that can be operated with a closed fist or elbow. Camden lists handicap operators among the devices these switches are built to control.
11) Do I have to order the button color separately, and can I get the CM-5085PTE-R in green or blue?
The CM-5085PTE-R comes with the red button, which is the standard color for an emergency or exit release. Camden does build the 5000 Series buttons in green (CM-xxxG) and blue (CM-xxxB) as well, so if you want a green push-to-open button and a red emergency release on the same opening you order the two colors as separate part numbers.
12) Can one Camden push button switch both the maglock and an alarm shunt at the same time?
Yes. The contact blocks are modular and stack, letting one button control up to six distinct functions at once, which is how a single press can drop a maglock and shunt the door contact or bypass an alarm. The CM-5085PTE-R itself is DPST with form Z contacts, so out of the box you have one N/O and one N/C set plus the 1-60 second delay. The bayonet interlocking assembly needs no set screws.
13) For an emergency release in a plant or industrial area, is the Camden CM-5085PTE-R the right choice or is there something more rugged?
The Camden CM-5085PTE-R is a heavy duty pushbutton on a 1/4 inch thick aluminum plate, rated for indoor or outdoor use from -13 F to 158 F and 100,000 cycles, with tamper proof screws and a free spinning vandal resistant button. For industrial machine-area duty, the SDC 430 Series is a heavy duty industrial mushroom button switch with a 1-1/2 inch round button, and the SDC 440 Series is a large mushroom button emergency exit switch with a 2-5/8 inch diameter heavy duty design. The Camden unit is the one to keep if the pneumatic 1-60 second time delay on a DPST circuit is part of the requirement.
14) Will the SDC 420 Series exit switch do the same job as the Camden CM-5085PTE-R?
They are both single-location exit switches but not interchangeable in function. The SDC 420 Series is an illuminated push button exit switch with 2 inch buttons and code compliance features. The Camden CM-5085PTE-R is a spring return DPST switch with a 1-60 second pneumatic time delay and form Z (N/O and N/C) contacts rated 6 A at 30 VDC, on a 2-3/8 inch free spinning button. If your drawing calls for a timed delay on the exit signal, the Camden's pneumatic timer is the deciding difference; if it calls for an illuminated 2 inch button, the SDC 420 is the one that matches.
15) Which exit button gives the largest button face for an ADA or gloved-hand application?
The Camden CM-5085PTE-R carries a 2-3/8 inch (60 mm) diameter button and the description states it meets ADA requirements. The SDC 440 Series large mushroom button emergency exit switch uses a 2-5/8 inch diameter button in a heavy duty design, the largest face in the group; the SDC 420 Series uses 2 inch buttons, the SDC 430 Series a 1-1/2 inch round button, and the Dortronics 5211-MP23 a 1-9/16 inch mushroom button.
16) How long will a Camden 5000 Series exit button last in a high traffic entrance?
Switch life is rated at 100,000 cycles, and the 5000 Series is built for high frequency usage, which is why it goes on exit controls in commercial and industrial openings. Camden lists these as commercial duty, with vandal and tamper resistant construction on a 1/4 inch aluminum plate.
17) Is the Camden CM-5085PTE-R a wireless or networked device?
No. It is a hard wired dry contact switch with color coded 18 AWG spade connections and no wireless communication. Everything is carried on the wiring back to your power supply or access control panel, and the 1-60 second delay is pneumatic rather than programmed, so there is nothing to configure in software.
18) Can I get the Camden 5000 Series plate in a dark bronze finish to match my storefront?
The standard plate is 1/4 inch brushed aluminum, 2-3/4 inches wide. A duranodic (US40) finish is offered as an option on the 5000 Series, which is the dark bronze look most aluminum storefront framing is finished in, so specify that if the plate needs to disappear into a bronze frame.
