Camden Door Controls CM-7436VR/4 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What voltage does the Camden CM-74/7536VR touchless push plate need?
The VR version runs on 12-24 VDC, plus or minus 10 percent. That is because the built-in hands-free activation sensor is powered; the non-sensor mechanical push plates in the CM-74/75 family are dry-contact and need no supply voltage at all. Wire it into the low-voltage output of your operator or an access control power supply within that range.
2) Will the CM-7536VR switch handle the current draw of my door operator relay?
Keep the load at or under 1 Amp @ 30 VDC. The VR sensor models switch through solid-state outputs rated much lower than the plain mechanical plates in the same series, which take 15 Amps @ 30 VDC. If you are driving anything heavier than an operator's low-voltage activation input, put a relay between the plate and the load.
3) Do I need to cut a back box into the wall for a Camden Top Load Column push plate?
No back box. The Top Load Column plates surface mount with leveling screws and sit 1-1/2 inches deep, so you are fastening to the wall face and bringing the wire out behind the plate. That is the main reason people pick this style over a recessed plate on block or existing finished walls.
4) What size is the Camden CM-74/7536VR and which width should I order?
It stands 36 inches tall, and you pick the width: 4.5 inches is the CM-74 Series, 6 inches is the CM-75 Series. Both carry the wheelchair symbol with PUSH TO OPEN in clear aluminum finish. Use the 4.5 inch on tight jamb walls or narrow returns; the 6 inch gives a larger target area and reads better from a distance in high-traffic entrances.
5) Is the Camden 36 inch touchless column plate approved for Canadian jobs?
The Top Load Column switches are OBC, NBC and CSA compliant. One exception worth knowing on a spec: the stainless steel model is not CSA compliant. The clear aluminum build carries the full compliance set.
6) Why is it called 'Top Load' and does that affect where I can mount it?
Top Load means the unit loads in from above, so you need clear space directly over the mounting location. If there is a soffit, a header, a frame return or a ceiling tight above the plate position, this is the wrong version. Where clearance is available, it gives the lowest profile of the Column mounting styles.
7) Do users still have to touch this plate, or is it fully hands-free?
Both. The VR configuration adds a built-in touchless activation sensor to the column, so a wave in front of the plate triggers the operator, and the plate still works as a push switch. That matters in healthcare and food service where facilities want no-contact activation without losing a physical fallback.
8) Can I run this Camden column plate wireless instead of pulling wire to it?
The Top Load Column line offers Kinetic or Lazerpoint wireless as an option, which is the route to take when the push post sits across an entry vestibule and there is no path back to the operator. Note the VR sensor version itself still needs 12-24 VDC to power the sensor.
9) Is this Camden push plate suitable for a commercial entrance or is it a residential product?
It is a commercial-duty access control actuator, built in aluminum and intended for automatic door operator activation at building entrances, vestibules and barrier-free openings.
