Camden Door Controls CX-ED1799L-8 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the -8 mean on the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 electric strike, and what faceplates come in the box?
The -8 is the faceplate package. The CX-ED1799L-8 ships as a dual monitor strike body with latch monitoring plus 8 stainless steel faceplates covering latch bolt and dead bolt applications, so you can fit a range of preps without a separate plate order. Camden also sells strike bodies and individual faceplates separately if you only need one.
2) Will the Camden CX-ED1799L work with a mortise lock, or only cylindrical?
Both. The CX-ED1799L Grade 1 strike is built for mortise and cylindrical locksets, and the 8-faceplate package covers latch bolt and dead bolt keepers, which is what a mortise lock with a deadbolt needs.
3) Is this Camden electric strike fire rated for a labeled door opening?
Yes, the CX-ED1799L carries a 3-hour fire rating. Note that fire rated openings require the strike to hold the latch, so on a labeled door it is set to fail secure, not fail safe.
4) What monitoring outputs does the Camden CX-ED1799L give my access control panel?
Three sets of contacts. Two SPST lock monitor switches rated 100mA at 24V DC resistive cover latch and deadbolt position, and a separate SPDT strike power monitor, also 100mA at 24V DC resistive, tells the panel the strike itself is energized. There is also a magnetic door position switch built in, so you do not need a separate DPS on the frame for that opening.
5) How much frame cutout do I need for the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 strike body?
The body measures 4-7/8 in H x 1-5/8 in W x 1-21/32 in D (124mm x 41mm x 42mm). That 1-21/32 inch depth is deeper than the single-monitor CX-ED1689L body at 1-3/8 inch, so verify your frame cavity before swapping up to the dual monitor version.
6) What is the difference between the Camden CX-ED1689L and the CX-ED1799L?
The CX-ED1689L is the low profile body with single latch monitoring, and the -4 package adds 4 faceplates for latch bolts. The CX-ED1799L is the dual monitor body, and the -8 package adds 8 faceplates covering both latch bolts and dead bolts. Pick the 1799L when you need to monitor a deadbolt as well as the latch; pick the 1689L when frame depth is tight and latch monitoring alone is enough.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 electric strike from another manufacturer?
The Camden CX-ED1799L-8 is a fire rated Grade 1 strike for mortise and cylindrical locksets with field selectable fail safe/fail secure operation and 12/24V AC/DC voltage. The closest peer 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 also a Grade 1 modular strike for mortise or cylindrical locks with a 3-hour UL 10C fire rating, though it is fail-secure rather than field selectable.
8) Can I use the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 in an aluminum storefront jamb, or is there a better choice?
The CX-ED1799L-8 body measures 4-7/8 in H x 1-5/8 in W x 1-21/32 in D, which is a mortise/cylindrical lockset strike rather than a narrow aluminum jamb strike. For aluminum jambs, the Adams Rite 7100 Series with a flat 1-1/4 in x 4-7/8 in faceplate and the Adams Rite 7160 with a 1-1/4 in x 4-7/8 in faceplate are built for that application; both are non fire rated. The Adams Rite 7170 covers hollow metal and wood jambs with the same 1-1/4 in x 4-7/8 in faceplate.
9) I need latch monitoring on an electric strike but do not need eight faceplates. What are the alternatives?
The Camden CX-ED1799L-8 is a dual monitor strike packaged with 8 stainless steel faceplates covering both latch bolts and dead bolts, and the Camden CX-ED1689L-4 is a low profile latch monitoring strike packaged with 4 faceplates for latch bolts only. If you want monitoring without a faceplate package, the Dortronics 3300 Series ships with a latch bolt sensing switch, 12/24VDC operation and a single strike plate for ANSI prep (4-7/8 in x 1-1/4 in). The Hager 2945 is a fire rated rim exit strike with field selectable fail safe/fail secure and a latchbolt monitor.
10) Which electric strikes look like a substitute for the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 but will not work on a mortise or cylindrical lockset?
The CX-ED1799L-8 is made for mortise and cylindrical locksets. Rim and vertical rod strikes are not interchangeable with it: the SDC 30-4 Series is a rim mount strike for a 3/4 in Pullman latchbolt in stainless steel, the Hager 2945 is a rim exit strike, and the HES Folger Adam 310-4-2 is a complete strike pac for surface vertical rods. The Rockwood 310-1 Series strike is configured for a double door with a 3/4 keeper.
11) How much current does the Camden CX-ED1799L draw so I can size the power supply?
300mA at 12V AC/DC, or 150mA at 24V AC/DC, and it is rated continuous duty so it can sit energized all day in a fail safe setup. Running it at 24V halves the load, which matters when you have several strikes on one supply.
12) Will the Camden CX-ED1799L buzz when it releases?
On AC it buzzes, on DC it is silent. Wire it for DC on offices, dorms and healthcare corridors where noise is a complaint. Keep AC where staff rely on the buzz as an audible cue that the door has released.
13) How durable is the Camden CX-ED1799L for a high traffic entry?
It is a Grade 1 strike rated to 1,500 lbs static strength and 70 ft-lbs dynamic, with 1,500,000 cycles factory tested and 250,000 cycles UL verified. That is main-entrance and stairwell territory, not just interior offices.
14) What is a simpler electric strike than the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 for a job that does not need monitoring?
The CX-ED1799L-8 carries two latch and deadbolt monitoring switches, a magnetic door position switch and a strike power monitor. On openings where none of that is wired, the SDC 15 Series value strike takes a 5/8 in latchbolt with 12/24 VDC operation, and the SDC 25 Series value strike suits a 1/2 in latchbolt. The Trine 001 Series is a light commercial fail-secure strike with a 5-7/8 in x 1-1/4 in faceplate, and the RCI 15BS is an economy fail-secure strike for special offset latch entry; neither the Trine 001 nor the RCI 15BS is fire rated.
15) Is there an electric strike that avoids cutting the frame the way the Camden CX-ED1799L-8 requires?
The CX-ED1799L-8 is a strike body 4-7/8 in H x 1-5/8 in W x 1-21/32 in D that mortises into the jamb. If cutting the existing frame is not an option, the Locknetics NC450 US32D is a no cut electric strike. Among prepped options, the Locknetics MS100 US32D and MDS100 US32D are heavy duty strikes, and the Alarm Controls AES-100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty strike.
