CM-9600 is single gang width (2-3/4") and the CM-9610 is only 1" & 3/4" wide, perfect for door frames or narrow areas. The large 1" round diameter button is easy to activate. Illumination and power relay is 12 to 24 VDC. Switch illumination is jumper selectable and may be set for On, Off, Green to Red, Red to Green or non-lit operation. Field selectable for N/O or N/C contact output and fail safe/fail secure operation.

Camden Door Controls CM-9600 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Camden CM-9600 push to exit switch fit a standard single gang box?
Yes. The CM-9600 uses a single gang faceplate measuring 4-1/2 x 2-3/4 x 1-1/2 inches (114mm x 70mm x 38mm), so it drops onto a standard single gang backbox. If you are mounting into a door frame or another narrow spot where 2-3/4 inches of width will not work, the narrow CM-9610 version is 4-1/2 x 1-3/4 x 1-1/2 inches instead.
2) What voltage does the Camden CM-9600 exit switch run on, and what can its contacts switch?
Illumination and the power relay run on 12 to 24 VDC. The contacts are rated 2 A at 30 VDC, with one N/C and one N/O set provided. That handles a typical maglock or strike control circuit through an access control panel or power supply; anything drawing more than 2 amps needs an interposing relay.
3) Can the CM-9600 be wired fail safe or fail secure, and normally open or normally closed?
Both are field selectable on the switch itself, so one part covers either install. You set N/O or N/C contact output and fail safe or fail secure operation at the device, which means you can stock a single button for maglock openings and strike openings alike.
4) Is the Camden CM-9600 rated for outdoor or unheated door openings?
Its operating range runs from -40F to +180F (-40C to +82C), and the piezo button with a heavy duty stainless steel faceplate gives weather and vandal resistance, so it suits exterior doors, parking structures and unconditioned areas. There are no moving mechanical contacts in a piezo switch, which is why it holds up where a mechanical plunger button wears out.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Camden CM-9600 illuminated exit switch from another manufacturer?
The SDC 410 Series is the nearest peer in concept: an illuminated push button exit switch. The difference is mounting footprint. The CM-9600 uses a single gang stainless steel faceplate measuring 4-1/2 inches by 2-3/4 inches by 1-1/2 inches, while the SDC 410 Series is built for narrow frame mounting. If the switch is going on a door frame or other narrow surface rather than a single gang box, the 410 addresses that opening directly; if you already have a single gang back box in the wall, the CM-9600 drops into it.
6) Is the Dortronics 5210 Series mushroom button a substitute for the Camden CM-9600?
They mount the same way but they are not the same device. The Dortronics DRT5211-MP23 is a 5210 Series exit release with a 1-9/16 inch red mushroom push button on a single gang plate marked for push to exit and emergency release, and the CM-9600 is also a single gang unit at 4-1/2 by 2-3/4 by 1-1/2 inches, so the back box prep carries over. What does not carry over is the electronics: the CM-9600 is a piezoelectric switch with jumper selectable red and green illumination, an integrated 1 to 40 second timer, and field selectable N/O or N/C and fail safe or fail secure operation. If your wiring relies on that onboard timer, a plain mushroom release will not replicate it.
7) How long does the Camden CM-9600 hold the door released after someone presses it?
There is an integrated timer adjustable from 1 to 40 seconds, so you can set a short release for a staff door or stretch it out for an accessible entrance where someone needs longer to get through. The adjustment is on the unit, no separate timer module needed.
8) What illumination options does the Camden CM-9600 piezo switch have?
Illumination is jumper selectable at install: On, Off, green to red, red to green, or non-lit. That lets you use the button as a status indicator (green when the door is free, red when it is secure, or the reverse) rather than just a lit target in a dark corridor.
9) Do I have to order the CM-9600 with PUSH TO EXIT printed on it?
No. The single gang CM-9600 is offered with a blank stainless faceplate or with 'PUSH TO EXIT' text engraved. Pick the text version where the authority having jurisdiction or the building standard wants the opening labeled, and the blank one where the button is doing something other than egress, like an operator or a vestibule release.
10) How does the Camden CM-9600 compare to a mushroom button exit switch?
The CM-9600 is a flush 1 inch round piezo button behind a stainless plate, so there is nothing protruding to catch or break, and no mechanical contact to wear. A mushroom button like the Dortronics 5210 Series on a single gang plate, or the SDC 430 Series with a 1-1/2 inch round button, gives a large raised target that is easier to hit with an elbow or in a panic, and the SDC 440 Series goes larger still at 2-5/8 inches for emergency release. Choose the piezo where abuse and weather are the concern, a mushroom where a big obvious emergency target matters.
11) For a high abuse or outdoor location, does the Camden CM-9600 hold up or should I move to an industrial button?
The CM-9600 is built for that kind of duty: a flush piezo button behind a heavy duty stainless steel faceplate with no moving parts to jam, rated from -40 F to +180 F. The alternative path is a mechanical industrial button such as the SDC 430 Series, a heavy duty industrial mushroom switch with a 1-1/2 inch round button, or the SDC 440 Series with its 2-5/8 inch heavy duty mushroom head. The trade is a sealed flush face against a larger mechanical actuator that is easier to hit at speed.
12) Which exit switch should I pick if my project spec calls out code compliance language?
The SDC 420 Series is described as an illuminated push button exit switch with 2 inch buttons and code compliance, so it is the one to put in front of the inspector when the drawing calls that out by name. The Camden CM-9600 is a commercial illuminated piezo switch with a 1 inch button, stainless faceplate, and selectable fail safe or fail secure output, which suits general access control releases where the specifier has not named a compliance series.
13) What finish does the Camden CM-9600 faceplate come in, and will it match other hardware on the door?
The faceplate is heavy duty stainless steel in US32/C32D, which is satin stainless. That is the same standard finish family as most commercial lever trim, exit device push bars and strikes specified in 630, so it blends on typical brushed stainless openings.
14) Is the Camden CM-9600 a wireless or battery device?
No, it is a hardwired commercial device. There is no wireless communication, so it needs a 12 to 24 VDC feed from your access control panel or power supply and a run back to the lock circuit.
