Camden Door Controls CX-ED1379 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to order the Camden strike in a specific voltage or fail safe version?
No. The CX-ED1379 is a universal strike: 12 or 24 volts, AC or DC, and fail safe or fail secure are all selected in the field on the unit itself. One part number covers all of it, so you can stock a single strike for a mix of access control panels. Current draw is 260mA at 12VDC and 150mA at 24VDC.
2) What is the difference between the Camden CX-ED1379 and the CX-ED1309?
Same strike body, different packaging. The CX-ED1309 is the body sold on its own, and you pick the face plate separately (ANSI square, ANSI round, hollow metal or wood, in brushed aluminum or dark bronze). The CX-ED1379 ships the body with two ANSI round face plates already included, one brushed aluminum and one dark bronze, so you can match the frame on site without a second order.
3) If the power drops, does the Camden strike lock or unlock?
Either, depending on how you set it. Fail safe and fail secure are selected in the field on the CX-ED1379, so the same unit covers an egress door that must release on power loss and a perimeter door that must stay locked. Set it before you close up the jamb.
4) I need a fire rated electric strike for a cylindrical lock - the Camden CX-ED1379 is not what I need, what should I use?
The Camden CX-ED1379 is a narrow stile aluminum frame strike for cylindrical locksets and spring latches with 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch latch projection. If the opening requires a fire rating, look at the Adams Rite 7240, a fire-rated electric strike for cylindrical locksets with 5/8 inch latchbolt projection, the Hager 2930 fire rated Grade 1 strike for cylindrical and mortise locks with 12/24VDC dual voltage, or the Von Duprin 4211 32D for cylindrical locks, 12/24 VDC field-selectable and Grade 1.
5) What else works in a narrow stile aluminum storefront jamb besides the Camden CX-ED1379?
The Camden CX-ED1379 is built specifically for narrow stile aluminum door frames of the kind used on storefront retail doors, and it ships with the strike body plus two ANSI round face plates, one brushed aluminum (BHMA 628) and one dark bronze (BHMA 710). For the same aluminum jamb application, Adams Rite offers the 7100 Series electric strike for aluminum jambs with a flat 1-1/4 inch x 4-7/8 inch faceplate, and the 7160 with a 1-1/4 inch x 4-7/8 inch faceplate. Both Adams Rite options are single-configuration bodies, while the Camden is field selectable for 12/24V, AC or DC, and for fail safe or fail secure operation.
6) The jamb is hollow metal or wood, not aluminum - what replaces the Camden CX-ED1379 there?
The Camden CX-ED1379 is designed for narrow stile aluminum door frames, though the CX-ED1309 strike body can be ordered with a hollow metal or wood door face plate instead. If you would rather buy a strike built for that frame from the start, the Adams Rite 7170 is an electric strike for hollow metal and wood jambs with a 1-1/4 inch x 4-7/8 inch faceplate.
7) I need latchbolt monitoring - does the Camden CX-ED1379 do that, and if not what does?
The Camden CX-ED1379 packages the strike body with two ANSI round face plates and provides field selectable voltage and fail safe/fail secure operation; its published feature set covers the strike function itself. If your access control head end needs door position or latch status back, the Dortronics 3300 Series is an electric strike with a latch bolt sensing switch, 12/24VDC, with a strike plate for ANSI prep at 4-7/8 inch x 1-1/4 inch, and the Hager 2945 fire rated rim exit strike includes a latchbolt monitor.
8) Is the Camden CX-ED1379 the right strike for a rim exit device or a vertical rod device?
No. The Camden CX-ED1379 is for cylindrical locksets and spring latches with 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch latch projection in narrow stile aluminum frames. For a rim exit device, the SDC 30-4 Series is a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt rim mount strike in stainless steel, and the Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike. For surface vertical rod devices, the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 is a complete strike pac built for that application.
9) What should I use instead of the Camden CX-ED1379 on a mortise lock opening?
The Camden CX-ED1379 is intended for cylindrical locksets and spring latches. For mortise locks, the Securitron MUNL Mortise UnLatch is a Grade 1 fire rated strike, the Von Duprin 6210 is a heavy duty Grade 1 strike for mortise locks at 24 VDC fail-secure with UL 10C fire rating, and the Von Duprin 6400 32D is a Grade 1 modular strike that handles mortise or cylindrical locks in satin stainless steel.
10) Can I run the Camden CX-ED1379 on an existing AC transformer, or do I need a different strike?
The Camden CX-ED1379 is field selectable for 12/24V, AC or DC, drawing 260mA at 12V DC and 150mA at 24V DC, and it buzzes on AC while running silent on DC. If your supply is AC only, the Trine 004 strike runs 8-16VAC with a 6-1/4 inch x 1-3/8 inch faceplate and up to 5/8 inch throw, and the Trine 2001 runs 16-24VAC/DC with a 5-7/8 inch x 1-1/4 inch faceplate and up to 5/8 inch throw.
11) Which finishes do the face plates come in, and will they match my existing aluminum storefront?
Both finishes come in the box: brushed aluminum (BHMA 628) and dark bronze (BHMA 710). Those are the two standard storefront colors, so a clear anodized frame and a bronze anodized frame are both covered by the same purchase.
12) Will the Camden CX-ED1379 buzz when it releases?
On AC it buzzes; on DC it is silent. Since voltage type is field selectable on this strike, wire it for DC if you want quiet release at a lobby or office door, or AC if the buzz is wanted as an audible signal to the person at the door. Duty is continuous either way, so it can be held unlocked during business hours.
13) Is the Camden CX-ED1379 strong enough for a high traffic retail entrance?
Static strength is 1,500 lbs and dynamic strength 70 ft-lbs, with endurance of 1,000,000 cycles on factory test and 250,000 cycles UL verified. Camden describes the series as grade 1 ANSI. That is a commercial-duty rating suitable for a storefront door cycled all day.
14) What is a simpler single-voltage alternative to the Camden CX-ED1379 for a light duty interior door?
The Camden CX-ED1379 is a commercial strike with field selection of 12/24V AC/DC and fail safe or fail secure, rated 1,500 lbs static and 70 ft-lbs dynamic. If the opening does not need that flexibility, the SDC 15 Series is a value strike for 5/8 inch latchbolt with 12/24 VDC operation, the SDC 25 Series covers a 1/2 inch latchbolt, and the Trine 001 Series is a fail-secure light commercial strike with a 5-7/8 inch x 1-1/4 inch faceplate. The RCI 15BS is an economy fail-secure strike for special offset latch entry.
15) Which heavy duty electric strikes compare to the Camden CX-ED1379 for a high traffic entrance?
The Camden CX-ED1379 is rated for continuous duty with 1,500 lbs static strength, 70 ft-lbs dynamic strength, and endurance of 1,000,000 factory test cycles with 250,000 UL verified cycles. Peers catalogued at heavy duty include the Alarm Controls AES-100 Grade 1 heavy duty strike, the Locknetics MDS100 US32D and MS100 US32D heavy duty strikes, and the Von Duprin 4211 32D, a heavy duty Grade 1 strike for cylindrical locks with 12/24 VDC field selection.
16) I do not want to cut the frame - is there a no-cut alternative to the Camden CX-ED1379?
The Camden CX-ED1379 uses a 4-7/8 inch H x 1-11/16 inch W x 1-5/8 inch D body set into a narrow stile aluminum frame with an ANSI round face plate. If cutting the existing frame is not an option, the Locknetics NC450 US32D is a no cut electric strike. The Von Duprin 6400 32D is a modular Grade 1 strike that covers mortise or cylindrical locks from one body if you are trying to reduce the number of preps you stock.
17) Is the Camden CX-ED1379 suitable for a pair of doors at the inactive leaf?
The Camden CX-ED1379 is a single narrow stile aluminum frame strike supplied with two face plate finishes, brushed aluminum and dark bronze, so one order covers one opening in either finish. For a double door application, the Rockwood double door electric strike with a 3/4 keeper is a Grade 1 fire rated strike in the 310-1 series built for that configuration.
