Camden Door Controls CM-333 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What voltage does the Camden SureWave CM-333 touchless switch run on, and how much current does it draw?
The CM-333 is line powered and accepts 12VAC/DC, 24VDC or 24VAC, drawing 40 mA. That lets it share the same low voltage supply already feeding most operators, mag locks or strikes, so you generally don't need a separate power source at the opening. It's a commercial, indoor-rated device.
2) Can the Camden CM-333 switch directly control a maglock or electric strike?
It has one relay rated 3 amps at 30 volts, and the relay action is multi-function with field selectable fail-safe or fail-secure contacts. That handles a typical low voltage strike or a mag lock circuit within that rating. If your load draws more than 3 amps or runs above 30 volts, switch it through a contactor or power supply relay rather than off the switch directly.
3) Will a Camden CM-333 touchless switch fit my existing single gang electrical box?
Faceplate size is an ordering choice: single gang, double gang, or narrow. Pick the one that matches the box or mullion you're mounting to. Single gang drops onto a standard single gang box; narrow is the one to order when you're mounting on a door frame or a narrow mullion where a gang plate won't sit flat. Each size comes in black or stainless steel.
4) How does the Camden SureWave switch detect a hand, and does it work through a glove?
Detection is active infrared, using an air sensing field in front of the faceplate rather than a capacitive touch pad. Because it reads reflected infrared and not skin contact, a gloved hand, a sleeve or an elbow triggers it the same way. Operating range is adjustable, and motion sensing is selectable, so you can tighten the field in a tight vestibule to stop passing traffic from false triggering.
5) What is the difference between event mode and toggle mode on the Camden CM-333?
The relay has two selectable operating modes. Event mode fires the relay for the length of the hold open timer each time a hand passes the sensor, which is what you want for an automatic operator or a momentary door release. Toggle mode latches the relay on with one wave and off with the next, used for holding a door unlocked or keeping an operator in a held state until someone waves again.
6) Does the CM-333 touchless switch accept a request-to-exit and door position input?
It has REX and DPS inputs built in. The door position switch input lets the switch see whether the door is open or closed so the relay isn't retriggered mid-cycle, and the REX input lets another device, like an exit device switch or a second activation point, trigger the same relay. For integrators that means one CM-333 can serve as the logic point at the opening instead of adding a separate timer module.
7) Can the Camden CM-333 trigger a door operator wirelessly instead of running wire across the opening?
Yes, the CM-333 supports a wireless transmitter option, so a second activation point can signal the operator without pulling wire through a finished wall or across a vestibule. The switch itself still needs low voltage power at its location; the wireless option covers the signal path, not the power.
8) Can I use a Camden CM-333 touchless switch outdoors on an exterior entrance?
No. The CM-333 is rated for indoor use, so it belongs on the interior side of an entry, in a vestibule, or on a restroom or corridor opening. For an exterior push side you need a switch built for outdoor exposure instead.
9) Do I need to order a separate finish for the black CM-333 versus stainless?
Finish is part of the model choice. Black is the CM-333-W, and stainless steel covers CM-333-SW and CM-333-S. On size, CM-333-S is the single gang plate and the /W models, CM-333-SW and CM-333-W, are double gang. Match the plate to the box, then pick the finish that matches the other plates in the building.
10) Does the Camden CM-333 have a light ring, and which faceplates take it?
The light ring is a plug-in option available for single gang, double gang and 6 inch round stainless steel faceplates. It shows red, green or blue, driven either by the switch itself or remotely from your access control, which is useful where staff need a visible lock status at the door. Note the ring is listed for stainless steel faceplates.
11) What are the overall dimensions of the Camden CM-333 touchless switch?
The published figures are 5.5 inches wide, 5.25 inches long and 2 inches high, at 0.4 lb. The 2 inch figure is the piece that catches people out on retrofits, so check your clearance behind and in front of the faceplate before you commit, especially on a shallow mullion box.
