Camden Door Controls CM-324/42 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What voltage does the Camden CM-324 touchless switch run on, and how much current does it draw?
The CM-324 SureWave switch accepts 12VAC/DC, 24VDC or 24VAC, so it can share the same low voltage supply as most door operators and mag locks. Draw is 40 mA, which is light enough that adding it to an existing access control power supply rarely means resizing the supply. Its relay contacts are rated 3 amps at 30 V.
2) How far away does your hand have to be for the Camden SureWave CM-324 to trigger?
Operating range is adjustable from 1 inch out to 30 inches, so you can set it tight for a switch beside a door where passers-by shouldn't trip it, or wide open for a hands-full approach at a restroom or vestibule. Time delay on the output adjusts from 1 to 5 seconds. It's an active infrared air sensor and holds performance across ambient lighting conditions, including bright lobbies.
3) Will the CM-324 fit a standard single gang box, or do I need a different back box?
Faceplate size is what you pick at order time. Single gang and narrow plates are offered, along with a double gang plate (the /W suffix) and a 6 inch round plate (the /R suffix). Choose the plate that matches the box already in the wall or the jamb space you have. The switch itself is 4 inches long, 1 inch wide and 0.5 inch deep.
4) Does the CM-324 latch on and stay on, or is it a momentary push?
Both, and it's field selectable. The relay is multi function with Event and Toggle operating modes: Event gives you a timed output (1 to 5 seconds) for an automatic operator or door release, Toggle holds the state until the next wave, which is how you'd run a hold-open or a light. Fail-safe versus fail-secure is also field selectable, so you wire it to release on power loss or stay locked depending on the opening.
5) Can the Camden CM-324 wave switch be mounted outside in the weather?
Yes. The CM-324 is rated weather resistant, so it suits an exterior approach side at a main entrance or a garage vestibule. Stainless steel faceplates are available if you want the more corrosion-tolerant plate on an exterior wall; black is the other finish.
6) Do I need one CM-324 switch or two for an automatic door opening?
Each CM-324 is a single relay switch with one output, so a typical accessible entrance uses two: one on the approach side and one on the egress side, each wired to the operator's actuator input. If you're doing a vestibule with an interior and exterior door, count a switch per side of each leaf.
7) Which faceplate graphic does the CM-324/42 come with?
The /42 faceplate carries the hand icon, 'Wave to Open' text and the wheelchair symbol together. That combination is what building owners usually want at an accessible entrance, because the wave gesture isn't self-explanatory to everyone and the text plus symbol makes the function obvious without extra signage.
8) Is the CM-324 the model with the light ring and wireless transmitter, or the basic one?
It's the basic wired version. The CM-324 is the economical single relay switch with no inputs, no wireless and no illuminated light ring. If you need a lit ring for visual feedback or a wireless transmitter to avoid running wire to the switch location, look at another SureWave model rather than the CM-324.
9) What finish and plate combinations can I actually order on the CM-324/42?
Black comes in single gang, narrow, double gang and 6 inch round. Stainless steel comes in single gang, narrow, double gang and 6 inch round as well. If you're standardizing a building, black reads better on dark frames and painted walls, stainless matches existing brushed hardware and holds up better outdoors.
