SUREWAVE CM-325 SERIES HAND ICON/'WAVE TO OPEN' TEXT/WHEELCHAIR SYMBOL FACEPLATE TOUCHLESS SWITCH

The CM-325 from Camden is a short-range hands-free switch that’s part of the Sure-Wave Hands-Free Switches line. This wired momentary switch comes with two infrared sensors that will detect body and hand motion. It uses Camden’s ‘microburst’ sensing technology to give the most accurate readings. The switch has an adjustable time delay of anywhere between 1 to 5 seconds and a response time of 100 MS.

As a short-range switch, it’s activation range is from 2” to 18” and it can be set to be either a failsafe or fail secure. This is a single relay switch.

Camden Door Controls CM-325/42 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the activation range on the Camden SureWave CM-325 touchless switch?
The CM-325 is a short range switch, active from 2 inches out to 18 inches. Two infrared sensors pick up hand and body motion using Camden's microburst sensing, with a 100 ms response time. If you need someone to trigger the door from several feet back while pushing a cart or a wheelchair, this is the wrong range class, since the user has to bring a hand within about a foot and a half of the plate.
2) Will the Camden CM-325 wave switch fit a standard single gang electrical box?
Yes. Single gang is one of four faceplate formats, alongside a narrow plate for mullions and tight jambs, a double gang, and a 6 inch round. The overall part measures 5.5 x 5.25 x 2 inches, so allow for the plate footprint and the depth behind the wall when you pick the box location.
3) What voltage does the Camden SureWave CM-325 run on, and can I power it off my existing access control supply?
It accepts 12VAC, 12VDC, 24VAC or 24VDC, and draws 40 mA. That covers the usual 12 and 24 volt access control power supplies, so in most cases you can pull it off the same supply feeding the operator or the lock, provided the supply has 40 mA of headroom.
4) Can the CM-325 switch the lock directly, or does it have to go through a controller?
The relay is rated 3 Amps at 30 V, which is a dry contact suited to signalling an operator, a controller input or a small lock load within that rating. Anything drawing more than 3 amps, or running on line voltage, needs an interposing relay between the switch and the load. There is one relay on board.
5) Is the Camden CM-325 fail safe or fail secure?
Either. Fail safe versus fail secure is field selectable on the switch, so one part covers both. That matters on egress openings where the door has to release on power loss, and on exterior doors where it must stay locked, without ordering two different SKUs.
6) How long does the CM-325 hold the door open after someone waves at it?
The time delay is adjustable from 1 to 5 seconds. Set it short on a high traffic interior opening, longer on a restroom or a door where a wheelchair user needs the extra dwell before the operator times out.
7) Can I use a Camden SureWave CM-325 outdoors or in a washdown area?
It carries a NEMA 4 application rating, which covers dust, splashing water and hose directed water. That makes it workable on exterior entrances, kitchens, and wash areas where a standard indoor push plate would fail.
8) What wiring inputs does the CM-325 have besides the sensor?
There are REX and door contact inputs on the switch, plus multi function relay action with Event and Toggle operating modes. Event mode gives a timed momentary pulse for a door operator; Toggle latches the relay on and off with successive waves, which is how you drive a hold open or a latching function.
9) Does the CM-325 faceplate have the wheelchair symbol for an accessible entrance?
The 42 faceplate carries a hand icon, the words Wave to Open, and the wheelchair symbol. That is the graphic package facility buyers usually want on a barrier free opening so the actuator reads correctly to the public.
10) What finishes does the Camden CM-325 wave switch come in, and can I match them across a building?
Two finishes: black and stainless steel, and both are offered in all four plate formats (single gang, double gang, narrow and 6 inch round). So you can run stainless on the public entrances and the same switch in black on back of house without changing product lines.
11) Is the Camden CM-325 a wireless switch or does it need to be wired?
It is a wired momentary switch, and the series also supports wireless communication. Plan on running conductors to the box for power and the relay contacts on a standard install.
12) Where do I find the wiring diagram and mounting details for the Camden CM-325?
Camden publishes both a CM-324/325 specification sheet and a SureWave installation manual, and both are attached to the product record. The manual covers the DIP settings for time delay, fail safe or fail secure selection, and the Event versus Toggle relay modes.
