Camden Door Controls CM-336/41S – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Camden SureWave CM-336 touchless switch need to be wired back to the door controller?
No wiring run is needed for the switch itself. The CM-336 has a built-in 915MHz spread spectrum wireless transmitter and runs on two AA batteries that ship with it, so the faceplate mounts at the opening with nothing pulled to it. It talks to Camden's Lazerpoint RF family of 915MHz receivers, which is where the relay contacts land. If you are retrofitting a door in a finished corridor or a historic wall you cannot cut, that is the reason to pick this over a hardwired switch.
2) How far away does your hand have to be to trigger the Camden CM-336 wave switch?
Activation range is 1 inch to 12 inches (25.4mm to 304mm) from the faceplate, using a single active infrared sensor. That is a deliberate short range: it takes an intentional wave in front of the plate, so people walking past in a corridor do not fire the door. If you need someone to trigger it from several feet back, or from a wheelchair approach lane, this is not the device for that.
3) What size electrical box or faceplate do I need for a Camden CM-336 touchless switch?
Three faceplate formats are offered: narrow, single gang, and double gang. Narrow is what you use on a mullion or a jamb where there is no room for a standard plate; single gang drops onto a normal box; double gang is for where you are matching an existing two-gang opening or a larger signage plate. Each of the three comes in black and in stainless steel. Measure the wall opening before you pick, because the faceplate is the mounting.
4) Can a Camden CM-336 wave switch be used outside on an entrance door?
It is specified for indoor application only. Use it on interior openings, vestibule inner doors, restroom entries, clean corridors, and patient room doors. For a weather-exposed exterior push side you need a device rated for outdoor use instead. The rest of the spec is commercial duty, so the indoor limit is about exposure, not traffic.
5) I already have Camden wireless door controls in the building. Will a CM-336 work with them?
If the existing equipment is from Camden's Lazerpoint RF family, yes. The CM-336 transmits on 915MHz spread spectrum and is stated compatible with that line, so it joins an installation you already have rather than needing its own receiver and its own frequency plan. For a property manager standardizing wave switches across a portfolio, that is the argument for staying on one platform: the same plate, the same battery cycle, the same receivers on every door.
6) How long do the batteries last in a Camden SureWave CM-336 wireless switch, and does it warn you before they die?
Estimated life is 4 years at 100 activations per day on the two supplied AA alkalines. There is a low battery alarm and an on-board battery test gauge, so a maintenance tech can check state without pulling the plate or waiting for a dead door. Lithium AAs are offered as an option on every faceplate size and finish, and those run longer, which is worth specifying on an exterior-facing or cold vestibule opening or anywhere a service call is expensive.
7) Should I use a wireless touchless switch or a hardwired one for a door opener retrofit?
The decision comes down to whether you can get a wire to the switch location. A hardwired switch needs a conduit run or a fished cable back to the operator or controller, and it never needs a battery. The CM-336 puts a 915MHz transmitter and two AA cells in the faceplate, so it mounts on a finished wall, a glass mullion, or the far side of a corridor with no wire pulled, and you accept a battery change roughly every 4 years at 100 uses a day. On new construction where the conduit is already in the wall, hardwired is the simpler long-term answer. On an occupied building, the wireless version is what makes the job a one-day install.
8) Does the Camden CM-336 switch latch the door open, or does it just pulse the operator?
The switch itself operates in momentary mode, so each wave sends one activation pulse rather than holding the output on. At the receiver end the relay is multi-function with event and toggle operating modes, and the relay output is field selectable fail-safe or fail-secure, so you set the dwell and the locked-state behavior in the access control rather than at the plate. One relay is provided.
9) What voltage and current does the Camden CM-336 system run on, and will its relay switch my door strike?
Input is 12VAC/DC or 24VAC/DC, drawing 40 mA. The relay is rated 3 amps at 30 volts, which covers a typical low voltage electric strike, maglock, or an operator's dry-contact activation input, but it is not a line-voltage contact. If your device draws more than 3 amps or runs on 120V, switch a contactor with it instead of loading the relay directly.
10) Can the Camden CM-336 be used as a request-to-exit device and monitor the door position?
Yes on both counts. The inputs are request to exit (REX) and external door contact, listed as REX and DPS. That means the same unit can serve as the egress request on the inside of a controlled door and take a door position switch input, so the access control panel sees both the exit request and whether the door actually opened. For an integrator building a monitored opening, that removes a separate REX device from the parts list.
11) What does the faceplate on the Camden 41 wave switch actually say, and will people understand it?
The /41 faceplate carries a hand icon plus the words "Wave to Open," so it reads without training or a separate sign. That combination matters in public-facing buildings, healthcare waiting areas, and schools, where a bare icon gets pushed like a button. It is offered in black or stainless steel to match the other plates and trim on the opening.
