Camden Door Controls CX-ED1689L-4 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 work with a mortise lock, or only a cylindrical lockset?
Both. The CX-ED1689L is built for mortise and cylindrical locksets, and the -4 package ships with four stainless steel faceplates for latch bolts so you can match the latch you actually have in the door instead of ordering a separate plate. Strike bodies and individual faceplates can also be ordered separately if you need a different plate later.
2) Can this Camden strike be used on a fire rated door opening?
Yes. The CX-ED1689L carries a 3-hour fire rating, so it is intended for rated openings. Note that on a rated door the strike has to run fail secure, since a fire rated opening must stay latched when power drops. The mode is field selectable on this unit, so set it to fail secure for that application.
3) Do I have to order a specific voltage version of the CX-ED1689L-4?
No separate voltage part number. It is field selectable 12 or 24V, AC or DC, on the same unit. Current draw is 300mA at 12V AC/DC and 150mA at 24V AC/DC, so size your power supply from whichever rail you set it to. Fail safe or fail secure is also selected in the field, not at order time.
4) How do I monitor whether the door is actually latched and locked with this Camden strike?
Monitoring is built in, no add-on kit. The CX-ED1689L includes latch monitoring, a magnetic door position switch, and a strike power monitor. Lock monitor output is 2 x SPST rated 100mA at 24V DC resistive, and the strike monitor is SPDT at the same rating. Wire those into your access control panel for door position and latch status. If you also need deadbolt monitoring, step up to the CX-ED1799L dual monitor strike, which in the -8 package includes 8 faceplates covering latch bolts and dead bolts.
5) What size pocket do I need to cut in the frame for the Camden CX-ED1689L-4?
The strike body measures 4-7/8 inches H x 1-5/8 inches W x 1-3/8 inches D (124 x 41 x 36mm). That 1-3/8 inch depth is the number that decides whether it drops into your jamb, and it is the low profile version, shallower than the CX-ED1799L dual monitor body at 1-21/32 inches (42mm) deep. On tight aluminum or existing hollow metal preps the shallower body is usually why you pick this one.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 electric strike from another manufacturer?
The Camden CX-ED1689L-4 is a fire rated, field selectable fail safe / fail secure strike for mortise and cylindrical locksets running 12/24V AC/DC. The closest cross-brand match is the Hager 2930, a fire rated Grade 1 electric strike for cylindrical and mortise locks with 12/24VDC dual voltage and field reversible fail safe/secure operation. The Von Duprin 6400 32D is another Grade 1 modular strike for mortise or cylindrical locks with a 3-hour UL 10C fire rating, though it is a fail-secure strike rather than field selectable.
7) The Camden CX-ED1689L-4 is for mortise and cylindrical locks - what should I use on a rim exit device or vertical rod instead?
The CX-ED1689L-4 strike bodies are built for mortise and cylindrical locksets, so a rim exit device or vertical rod opening needs a different family. For rim exit devices, the Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with field selectable fail safe/fail secure and a latchbolt monitor, and the SDC 30-4 is a rim mount strike for a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt in stainless steel. For surface vertical rods, the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 is a complete strike pac.
8) I do not need latch monitoring on this opening - what fire rated electric strike should I use instead of the Camden CX-ED1689L-4?
The CX-ED1689L-4 package is built around latch monitoring, with monitoring switches, a magnetic door position switch and a strike power monitor. If the opening only needs release, the Von Duprin 4211 32D is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated strike for cylindrical locks with 12/24 VDC field-selectable voltage, and the Von Duprin 6210 is a Grade 1 heavy duty strike for mortise locks at 24 VDC fail-secure with a UL 10C fire rating. The Securitron MUNL mortise UnLatch strike is another Grade 1 fire rated option.
9) Which electric strikes look like alternatives to the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 but are not fire rated?
Several strikes in the same 4-7/8 inch faceplate world are not fire rated and cannot substitute for the CX-ED1689L-4 on a rated opening: the Adams Rite 7100, 7160 and 7170 series, the RCI 15BS economy strike, the Trine 001 series light commercial strike, and the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 strike pac for surface vertical rods. If the door assembly is rated, stay with a strike that carries the rating, such as the Adams Rite 7240 fire-rated strike for cylindrical locksets or the SDC 45F.
10) Will this strike buzz when someone presses the release button?
Only on AC. Wired to AC the strike buzzes; on DC it releases silently. If you are putting this on an office or healthcare corridor where noise matters, run it on DC. If you want the audible cue at an apartment entry so the visitor knows to push, AC gives you that. Duty is continuous either way.
11) Is this Camden electric strike strong enough for a high traffic commercial entrance?
It is a Grade 1 commercial strike. Static strength is 1,500 lbs, dynamic strength 70 ft-lbs, and endurance is factory tested to 1,500,000 cycles with 250,000 cycles UL verified. Duty is continuous, so it can be held energized in fail safe mode without overheating. That covers school, multi-family and institutional main door traffic.
12) Can I buy just the strike body or an extra faceplate for the Camden CX-ED1689L?
Yes. Strike bodies and individual faceplates can be ordered separately, which is how most locksmiths handle a plate that got damaged or a latch that turned out different once the frame was open. The -4 package is the complete unit with four latch bolt faceplates included.
13) Should I set this Camden strike to fail safe or fail secure?
Fail secure means the door stays locked when power drops and you need power to release it; fail safe unlocks on power loss. Stairwells and egress paths that must free up on an alarm typically call for fail safe, while any rated door or exterior entry stays fail secure. The CX-ED1689L is field selectable, so one part covers both and the decision is made at install rather than at order.
14) Will the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 work in an aluminum storefront jamb?
The CX-ED1689L-4 body is 4-7/8 inch H x 1-5/8 inch W x 1-3/8 inch D and is built for mortise and cylindrical locksets rather than narrow aluminum stile prep. For aluminum jambs, the Adams Rite 7100 Series with a flat 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch faceplate and the Adams Rite 7160 with a 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch faceplate are made for that frame type; note that both are catalogued without a fire rating, so confirm the rating requirement for the opening. For hollow metal and wood jambs, the Adams Rite 7170 uses the same faceplate size.
15) Is there a simpler fire rated electric strike than the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 for a single 5/8 inch latchbolt door?
Yes. The CX-ED1689L-4 ships as a universal package with four stainless steel faceplates and selectable voltage so one part covers many prep conditions. For a single known opening with a 5/8 inch latch, the SDC 45F fire-rated strike is sized for 5/8 inch latchbolts with a radius corner faceplate, and the Adams Rite 7240 fire-rated strike suits cylindrical locksets with 5/8 inch latchbolt projection. The Hager 2925 is a 5/8 inch latch strike with field reversible fail safe/secure operation.
16) I need to avoid cutting the existing frame - is the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 the right choice, or is there another option?
The CX-ED1689L-4 is a low profile strike body measuring 4-7/8 inch H x 1-5/8 inch W x 1-3/8 inch D, which still requires a cavity in the jamb. Where cutting the frame is not an option, the Locknetics NC450 is a no cut electric strike. If the frame already has standard ANSI prep, the Dortronics 3300 Series strike ships with a strike plate for ANSI prep at 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch and includes a latch bolt sensing switch at 12/24VDC.
17) The Camden CX-ED1689L-4 covers a single latch - what if the door has a deadbolt too?
The CX-ED1689L-4 is the low profile single monitor package with four faceplates for latch bolts. For an opening with both a latch and a deadbolt, Camden's CX-ED1799L-8 is the dual monitor version and includes eight faceplates covering latch bolts and dead bolts. On a pair of doors, the Rockwood double door electric strike with a 3/4 keeper is a Grade 1 fire rated alternative.
18) I am specifying heavy duty electric strikes across a facility - how does the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 compare with other Grade 1 options?
The CX-ED1689L-4 is rated 1,500 lbs static and 70 ft-lbs dynamic strength with continuous duty and 1,500,000 factory tested cycles. Other Grade 1 heavy duty candidates for a standardization program include the Alarm Controls AES-100, the Von Duprin 4211 32D and 6210, the Von Duprin 6400 32D modular strike, and the Securitron MUNL. The Locknetics MDS100 and MS100 are also catalogued as heavy duty strikes.
