Camden Door Controls CM-336/40 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Camden SureWave CM-336 touchless switch need wiring run back to the door controller?
No wiring run is needed from the switch itself. The CM-336 has a built-in 915MHz spread spectrum wireless transmitter and runs on two AA alkaline batteries that come supplied, so the faceplate mounts where you want it without pulling cable. You still need a Camden Lazerpoint RF 915MHz receiver on the door side, since that is the family the switch transmits to. That makes it a common pick for retrofit openings in existing walls where fishing wire is the expensive part of the job.
2) How far away does your hand have to be for a CM-336 touchless switch to trigger?
Activation range is 1 inch to 12 inches (25.4mm to 304mm) from the single active infrared sensor. That is a deliberate short range so people walking past in a corridor don't set the door off, but it's far enough that a user never contacts the plate. Operating mode is momentary, so it sends one activation per wave rather than latching.
3) Which faceplate size of the Camden CM-336 wireless switch should I order for my wall?
Four plate formats are offered: single gang, double gang, narrow, and 6 inch round. Single gang drops into a standard switch box, narrow is the one for mullions and door frames where there isn't room for a full gang plate, and the 6 inch round is the high-visibility option usually used at barrier-free restroom and entrance approaches. Each comes in black or stainless steel.
4) How long do the batteries last in a Camden CM-336 touchless switch, and how do I know when to change them?
Roughly 4 years at 100 activations per day on the supplied AA alkalines. If the opening sees heavier traffic, order the lithium battery option, which is a selectable choice on every faceplate size and finish and extends that further. For maintenance staff, the switch has a low battery alarm and an on-board battery test gauge, so you aren't guessing during rounds or waiting for a dead door.
5) Can the Camden CM-336 switch be set up to unlock on power loss for a fire exit?
Fail-safe versus fail-secure is field selectable on the CM-336, so the installer sets the behaviour at commissioning rather than ordering a different part number. It carries one relay with multi-function action and two relay operating modes, event and toggle, letting you run it as a momentary release or as a latching hold-open.
6) Will the CM-336 relay handle switching my maglock or strike directly?
The relay is rated 3 amps at 30 V, and the unit operates on 12VAC/DC, 24VDC or 24VAC drawing 40 mA. That covers typical 12V and 24V electric strikes and magnetic locks, but check the inrush and holding current of your specific lock against the 3 amp contact rating before wiring it straight through. Anything above that needs an interposing relay or a dedicated power supply relay board.
7) Can I wire a door position switch or request-to-exit signal into the Camden CM-336?
Yes. The CM-336 accepts two inputs, REX (request to exit) and DPS (door contact). Tying in the door position switch lets the switch respond to actual door state rather than firing blind, which is how integrators keep an automatic operator from re-triggering on a door that's already open.
8) Is the Camden SureWave CM-336 touchless switch rated for outdoor use?
Indoor only. The CM-336 is specified for indoor commercial applications, so exterior entrances, loading docks, and unconditioned vestibules need a switch rated for those conditions instead. Inside, it's a standard fit for healthcare corridors, restrooms, clean areas, and multi-family common doors.
9) What size opening do I need to cut for a Camden CM-336 faceplate?
Published overall dimensions are 5.5 inches wide by 5.25 inches long by 2 inches high, at 0.4 lbs. Note that the 2 inch figure includes the battery compartment depth behind the plate, so allow clearance in the box or mullion cavity, not just the plate footprint on the wall.
10) Wireless touchless switch or hardwired one, which makes more sense for an existing building?
The deciding factor is usually the wall, not the switch. A hardwired touchless switch needs conduit or cable back to the controller, which on a finished masonry or tile wall is the bulk of the labour. The wireless CM-336 removes that run entirely by transmitting on 915MHz spread spectrum to a Lazerpoint RF receiver, and it is battery powered at around 4 years of life. The trade is battery maintenance and the need for a compatible receiver at the door. New construction with the walls open often goes hardwired; retrofits and restroom remodels go wireless.
