Camden Door Controls CM-336/42 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Camden SureWave CM-336 touchless switch need wiring back to the door operator?
No wiring run is needed. The CM-336 has a built-in 915MHz spread spectrum wireless transmitter and runs on two AA alkaline batteries that come with it, so the switch mounts where the user needs it without pulling cable back to the operator. It pairs with Camden's Lazerpoint RF family of 915MHz wireless products, which is what receives the signal at the door side. That makes it the practical choice for retrofits into finished walls, glass surrounds, or anywhere core drilling for conduit is not on the table.
2) How close does someone have to get their hand to a Camden CM-336 wave switch for it to activate?
Activation range is 1 inch to 12 inches (25.4mm to 304mm) using a single active infrared sensor. That is a deliberate short range: a hand deliberately waved in front of the plate triggers it, while someone walking past in a corridor does not. It operates momentary, so the relay pulses on the wave rather than latching, which is what a door operator expects for a single open cycle.
3) What faceplate sizes does the Camden SureWave CM-336 come in, and which one fits a standard electrical box?
Four plate formats: single gang, double gang, narrow, and 6 inch round. Single gang covers a standard single gang box, double gang covers a two gang box, and the narrow plate is the one for mounting on a door frame or a mullion where there is no room for a gang plate. The 6 inch round is the large-target format for ADA-style approach activation. All four are offered in black and in stainless steel.
4) How long do the batteries last in a Camden CM-336 wireless wave switch, and will I know before they die?
Estimated four years at 100 activations per day on the supplied AA alkalines. There is a low battery alarm and an on-board battery test gauge, so a maintenance tech can check state at the plate instead of waiting for a dead opening. If the door sees heavier traffic than that, the switch can be ordered with AA lithium batteries for longer service between changes. For a property manager standardizing across a building, the test gauge is what makes a scheduled battery sweep possible rather than reactive.
5) Can a Camden CM-336 switch the door operator or maglock directly, or do I need a separate relay?
There is one on-board relay rated 3 amps at 30 volts, with multi-function relay action and both event and toggle operating modes. Fail-safe or fail-secure is field selectable, so the same part works on a maglock circuit that drops on activation or on a strike that energizes. That rating handles a low-voltage operator trigger input directly. It is not a device for switching line voltage or a large inductive load, so anything above 3A at 30V needs an interposing relay between the switch and the load.
6) Can a Camden CM-336 wave switch be used outside on an exterior entrance?
Indoor only. The CM-336 is rated for indoor application, which puts it on the inside face of a vestibule, a corridor cross door, a restroom, or a patient room, not on a weather-exposed exterior wall or an open loading area. For a two-door vestibule the usual arrangement is the CM-336 on the protected interior side and a weather-rated actuator on the outside face.
7) Should I buy the lithium battery version of the Camden CM-336 or the standard alkaline one?
Every faceplate size and both finishes are available either way, so it is purely a service-interval decision. Alkaline is supplied as standard and rated four years at 100 operations a day. Lithium is the option to specify where the switch sees higher traffic, sits in an unheated vestibule, or is somewhere a lift or a lock-out makes battery changes expensive. Specify it at order time; it is a variant choice, not a field upgrade you make later out of the parts bin.
8) What do the REX and door contact inputs on the Camden CM-336 do?
The switch takes a request-to-exit input and a door position switch (door contact) input. In practice the REX input lets the CM-336 signal an access control panel that the exit was authorized so the door does not read as a forced open, and the door contact input tells it the actual door state so the relay can be timed or held against a real position rather than a guess. For an integrator tying a touchless actuator into an existing panel, those two inputs are what keep the alarm log clean.
9) What voltage does a Camden SureWave CM-336 run on if I am powering it rather than using batteries?
Operating voltage is 12VAC/DC or 24VDC/24VAC, drawing 40 mA. That covers the standard low voltage supplies already on an access control or operator installation, so it lands on the same 12 or 24 volt bus as the strike and the panel. The batteries are what let it go on a wall with no cable at all; where power is already in the box, the same switch works on either of those standard supply voltages.
10) Will a Camden CM-336 wave switch work with my existing access control panel and card reader setup?
It ties in on the relay and the inputs, not on the credential side. The single multi-function relay, rated 3A at 30V with event and toggle modes and field selectable fail-safe or fail-secure operation, drops into a panel input or an operator trigger the same way a push plate would. The REX and door contact inputs let it report the exit to the panel. The wireless side is Camden's own Lazerpoint RF 915MHz system, so the receiver at the door has to be Lazerpoint RF, not a third party wireless bridge.
11) How big is the Camden CM-336 touchless switch faceplate?
The switch measures 5.5 x 5.25 x 2 inches and weighs 0.4 lb, with the width and length figures covering the plate footprint and the 2 inch figure the depth off the wall. Worth checking against a crowded jamb or a narrow mullion before committing to a gang plate, since the narrow faceplate format exists for exactly the spots where a gang plate will not sit flat.
12) What is printed on the Camden CM-336/42 faceplate?
The /42 faceplate carries the hand icon, the words Wave to Open, and the wheelchair symbol. That combination is the one to specify where the switch serves a barrier-free opening and the graphic has to read to a first-time visitor without instruction. If a building is standardizing signage across openings, this is the plate legend that puts all three elements on one face.
