Camden Door Controls CX-ED1079 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How do I know whether to order the CX-ED1079 or the CX-ED1079D?
It comes down to the latch projection on your existing lockset. The CX-ED1079 is the low profile body and takes a 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch latch throw. The CX-ED1079D is standard depth and takes 5/8 inch to 3/4 inch. Measure the latchbolt projection on the door before ordering, because that is the only difference in body depth: the low profile measures 3-3/8 x 1-3/4 x 1-7/32 inches and the D version 3-3/8 x 1-3/4 x 1-3/8 inches.
2) Will the Camden CX-ED1079 electric strike work with a cylindrical lockset, or only a mortise lock?
Both. The CX-ED1079 uses centerline latch entry, which is what cylindrical and mortise locksets need. It is also non-handed, so one strike covers left and right hand openings without ordering a specific hand.
3) Do I need to buy a separate faceplate for a wood frame or an aluminum ANSI prep?
No extra faceplate purchase. Three stainless steel faceplates ship in the box: ANSI square, hollow metal, and wood door frame. The strike body and faceplate also adjust horizontally, which is what saves you when the existing prep does not line up exactly with the latch.
4) Can I set this Camden strike to fail safe in the field, or is that ordered from the factory?
Field selectable, both ways. The CX-ED1079 lets you pick fail safe or fail secure at install, and pick 12V or 24V AC or DC on the same unit. That means one part number stocked on the truck covers an egress door that has to release on power loss and a secured door that has to stay locked.
5) What does the latch monitoring option on the CX-ED1079L and CX-ED1079DL actually give me?
A latch monitor output, so your access control panel or alarm knows whether the latchbolt is actually seated in the keeper rather than just whether the strike was energized. Order the L suffix (CX-ED1079L low profile, CX-ED1079DL standard depth) if the door is monitored for forced or propped conditions. If nothing is reading that signal, the plain CX-ED1079 or CX-ED1079D is the part.
6) What is the closest equivalent to a Camden CX-ED1079 electric strike for a cylindrical lock on a fire rated opening?
The Camden CX-ED1079 is a Grade 1 ANSI strike with centerline latch entry for cylindrical and mortise locksets and selectable 12/24V AC/DC, fail safe/fail secure operation. If the opening is fire rated, the Von Duprin 4211 32D is a Grade 1 fire rated electric strike for cylindrical locks with 12/24 VDC field-selectable operation, and the Hager 2930 is a fire rated Grade 1 strike for cylindrical and mortise locks with 12/24VDC dual voltage and field reversible fail safe/secure operation. Both keep the dual-voltage and cylindrical-lock compatibility while adding the fire rating.
7) Which electric strike should I use instead of the Camden CX-ED1079 on an aluminum storefront jamb?
The Camden CX-ED1079 is a centerline latch entry strike for cylindrical and mortise locksets and ships with ANSI square, hollow metal and wood door frame faceplates, so it is aimed at hollow metal and wood frames. For a narrow aluminum jamb, the Adams Rite 7100 Series is an electric strike for aluminum jambs with a flat 1-1/4 inch x 4-7/8 inch faceplate, and the Adams Rite 7160 is another aluminum jamb strike with a 1-1/4 inch x 4-7/8 inch faceplate.
8) I need a strike for a rim exit device, not a lockset - is the Camden CX-ED1079 the right part?
No. The Camden CX-ED1079 uses centerline latch entry for cylindrical and mortise locksets. For a rim exit device, the SDC 30-4 Series is a rim mount electric strike for a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt, and the Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with field selectable fail safe/fail secure and a latchbolt monitor. For surface vertical rod devices, the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 is a complete electric strike pac for surface vertical rods.
9) What current do I need to size the power supply for on a Camden CX-ED1079 strike?
Draw is 260 mA at 12 VDC and 150 mA at 24 VDC. It is rated continuous duty, so it can sit energized indefinitely in fail safe mode without overheating. Running it on 24 VDC roughly halves the load, which matters when you are putting several strikes on one supply.
10) Will this strike buzz when it releases?
Only if you wire it AC. On AC the Camden CX-ED1079 buzzes, which some buildings want as an audible release cue at a lobby door. On DC it is silent. Since voltage type is selectable on the unit, you choose the behavior at the door rather than at the order.
11) Is the Camden CX-ED1079 strong enough for a high traffic commercial entrance?
It is an ANSI Grade 1 strike rated 1,500 lbs static and 70 ft-lbs dynamic, factory tested to 1,000,000 cycles with 250,000 cycles UL verified. That is commercial duty, and the product is listed for commercial rather than residential use.
12) What other electric strikes offer latch monitoring like the Camden CX-ED1079L and CX-ED1079DL?
The Camden CX-ED1079L is the low profile version with latch monitoring and the CX-ED1079DL is the standard depth version with latch monitoring, both Grade 1 with selectable 12/24V AC/DC. Comparable monitored strikes include the Dortronics 3300 Series, which has a latch bolt sensing switch, 12/24VDC operation and a strike plate for ANSI prep at 4-7/8 inch x 1-1/4 inch, and the Hager 2945 rim exit strike, which includes a latchbolt monitor.
13) Is there a simpler electric strike than the Camden CX-ED1079 for a light duty interior door?
The Camden CX-ED1079 is a Grade 1 strike with selectable voltage, selectable fail safe/fail secure and continuous duty operation. If you do not need the selectable modes, the Trine 001 Series is a fail-secure light commercial electric strike with a 5-7/8 inch x 1-1/4 inch faceplate, and the RCI 15BS is an economy strike for special offset latch entry with fail-secure operation. Both are fixed fail-secure rather than field selectable, so confirm the door does not need fail safe egress behavior.
14) What is a Grade 1 heavy duty alternative to the Camden CX-ED1079 for a high traffic opening?
The Camden CX-ED1079 is a Grade 1 ANSI strike rated for continuous duty with 1,500 lbs static strength and 70 ft-lbs dynamic strength. Heavy duty Grade 1 peers include the Alarm Controls AES-100, the Von Duprin 6400 32D modular strike for mortise or cylindrical locks in satin stainless steel, and the Securitron MUNL mortise unlatch strike. The Von Duprin 6400 is fail-secure and the Camden is field selectable between fail safe and fail secure, so match that to how the door has to behave on power loss.
15) Can I swap a Camden CX-ED1079 into an existing ANSI 4-7/8 inch strike cutout?
The Camden CX-ED1079 body measures 3-3/8 inch H x 1-3/4 inch W x 1-7/32 inch D and includes three stainless faceplates covering ANSI square, hollow metal and wood door frame preps, with horizontal adjustability of the faceplate and body. If you are matching an existing ANSI prep on a different brand, the Dortronics 3300 Series ships with a strike plate for ANSI prep at 4-7/8 inch x 1-1/4 inch, and the Von Duprin 4211 32D is another Grade 1 cylindrical lock strike with 12/24 VDC field-selectable operation.
16) Which strikes besides the Camden CX-ED1079 run on both 12 and 24 volts?
The Camden CX-ED1079 is selectable 12/24V AC/DC, drawing 260 mA at 12 VDC and 150 mA at 24 VDC, and it buzzes on AC while running silent on DC. Other dual voltage options are the SDC 15 Series with 12/24 VDC operation for a 5/8 inch latchbolt, the Dortronics 3300 Series at 12/24VDC, the Hager 2930 with 12/24VDC dual voltage, and the Von Duprin 4211 32D at 12/24 VDC field-selectable. The SDC, Dortronics and Von Duprin options are DC only, so the Camden is the one that also accepts AC.
17) I need a fire rated strike with a radius corner faceplate instead of the Camden CX-ED1079 - what fits?
The Camden CX-ED1079 includes ANSI square, hollow metal and wood door frame faceplates. If the frame prep calls for a radius corner faceplate on a fire rated opening, the SDC 45F Series is a fire-rated electric strike with 5/8 inch latchbolt compatibility and a radius corner faceplate, which matches the same 5/8 inch throw the low profile Camden covers.
18) Is the SDC 25 Series a substitute for the Camden CX-ED1079?
They cover different latch throws. The Camden CX-ED1079 handles 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch projection and the CX-ED1079D handles 5/8 inch to 3/4 inch, with selectable 12/24V AC/DC and selectable fail safe/fail secure. The SDC 25 Series is a value strike listed for 1/2 inch latchbolt compatibility, so it overlaps only the shorter throw range and does not carry the selectable mode feature. If you want the SDC family with a 5/8 inch latchbolt and 12/24 VDC, that is the SDC 15 Series.
