Camden Door Controls CM-336/44B – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Camden SureWave CM-336 touchless switch need wiring run back to the door controller?
No wire run to the controller. The CM-336 has a built-in 915MHz spread spectrum transmitter and runs on (2) AA alkaline batteries that ship with it, so the switch itself is a standalone mount. It talks to Camden's Lazerpoint RF family of 915MHz receivers, which is what actually switches the operator or the lock. That is the whole reason to pick this over a hardwired push plate: no conduit, no fishing wire through a finished wall, no core drilling a jamb on an occupied building.
2) How close does a hand have to be to activate the Camden CM-336 touchless switch?
Activation range is 1 inch to 12 inches (25.4mm to 304mm) off the face of the plate, using a single active infrared sensor. That matters for placement: mount it where a passerby in a corridor will not sweep through the field, because at 12 inches it will fire on anything that enters that zone, not just a deliberate hand wave. Output is momentary, so the operator gets one pulse per wave rather than a latched contact.
3) What faceplate sizes does the Camden CM-336 wireless touchless switch come in, and which one fits a narrow aluminum door frame?
Four plate formats: narrow, single gang, double gang, and 6 inch round, each in black or stainless steel. The narrow plate is the one for a storefront or aluminum entrance stile where there is no room for a gang plate. Single gang drops onto a standard switch box, and the 6 inch round is the format most people use for the wall-mounted actuator beside an operator door. All four carry the hand icon and wheelchair symbol graphic.
4) What relay and contact rating does the Camden CM-336 wireless switch system provide for switching a door operator or maglock?
One relay, multi-function, with a contact rating of 3 amps at 30V and operating voltage of 12VAC/DC or 24VAC/VDC. Current draw is 40mA. The relay is field selectable fail-safe or fail-secure, which is the setting that decides whether the lock releases or holds when power drops, and it runs in event or toggle mode. Confirm your operator or mag lock draw sits inside 3 amps at 30V before you land the wires on it.
5) Can the Camden CM-336 touchless switch be mounted outside on an exterior entrance?
Yes, it is rated for indoor and outdoor use, so an exterior actuator post or the outside face of a vestibule is in scope. Being battery powered and wireless, it also solves the usual outdoor problem of getting a wire from a bollard or a remote actuator post back into the building.
6) How often do the batteries in a Camden SureWave CM-336 have to be changed, and will I know before it dies?
Estimated battery life is 4 years at 100 operations per day on the supplied AA alkalines, and there is an optional AA lithium cell for longer service. It has both a low battery alarm and a battery test gauge, so a maintenance tech can check state without pulling the plate and there is warning before the switch goes dark. For a property manager running a fleet of restroom and entrance doors, that is a once-every-few-years PM task rather than a nuisance call.
7) Should I use a wireless touchless switch like the Camden CM-336 or a hardwired push plate?
The deciding factor is the wire run, not the switch. A hardwired plate is the simpler choice on new construction or anywhere conduit is already in the wall. The CM-336 earns its place on retrofit: finished walls, stone or tile, an actuator across a lobby, or an exterior post where getting a cable back to the operator means trenching. It transmits at 915MHz to a Camden Lazerpoint RF receiver, so you are adding a receiver at the door as part of the package. It also gives you no-touch operation, which a mechanical push plate cannot, in healthcare and food service where surface contact is the concern.
8) Can I tie a request-to-exit or a door position switch into the Camden CM-336 system?
Yes. Inputs accept a request to exit signal and an external door contact (DPS). That lets the system see door position rather than just firing blind on a hand wave, which is how you keep an operator from re-triggering on a door that is already open, and how a REX from an exit device or a card reader shares the same door.
9) What are the dimensions of the Camden CM-336 touchless switch?
The CM-336 measures 5.5 x 5.25 x 2 inches and weighs 0.4 pounds. The 2 inch figure is the depth you need to account for behind or in front of the mounting surface, so check clearance if it is going on a narrow stile or where a door leaf swings past.
10) Is the Camden CM-336 touchless switch suitable for a commercial building, or is it a residential product?
It is a commercial product, and the specification reflects that: multi-function relay logic, REX and door contact inputs, field selectable fail-safe or fail-secure operation, and a hand icon with wheelchair symbol faceplate for barrier-free entrances. Standardizing across a facility is straightforward since all four plate formats and both finishes run the same electronics.
