Camden Door Controls CM-221/46 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Camden ValueWave CM-221 touchless switch work outdoors on an exterior door?
Yes. The ValueWave no-touch switch is IP 65 rated, so it can go on an exterior opening as well as an indoor one, and it operates from 14 to 122 degrees F (-10 to +50 degrees C). That temperature band is the number to check against your climate before mounting it on an unheated garage or a north-facing entry in a cold region.
2) What size electrical box do I need for a Camden CM-221 wave to exit switch?
Faceplate size is an ordering choice, so pick it to match the box you have. The switch comes with a single gang, double gang, or narrow stainless faceplate. Narrow is what you use on a mullion or a tight glass front stile where a standard single gang plate will not land flat; double gang is for ganging with another device or covering an existing two gang opening.
3) Can the Camden wave to exit switch trigger my automatic door operator directly, or does it need a relay module?
The switch has its own relay on board, rated 1 amp at 30 VDC. That is a dry contact you land straight on the actuator input of a low voltage door operator or an access control input, no interposing relay needed. It is not rated to switch a mains load or a magnetic lock drawing more than an amp, so anything heavier gets its own relay.
4) Does the Camden CM-221 switch latch on, or is it just a momentary pulse for a door release?
Relay action is multi function, so the output is configurable rather than fixed at one behavior. That matters when the same switch has to do a timed release on one opening and a different hold behavior on another; you set the mode at the device instead of ordering a different part number.
5) How close does a hand have to get to a Camden ValueWave switch to activate it?
It uses an active infrared sensor, which reads a hand presented in front of the plate rather than a capacitive touch or a push. There is no contact with the plate at all, which is why these go on healthcare, food service, and high traffic restroom and vestibule doors where hand contact is the thing being designed out.
6) What does the /46 mean on a Camden CM-221 part number?
The /46 designates the faceplate graphic, in this case the 'Wave to Exit' symbol. Camden builds these switches from the same electronics with a range of plate graphics, so the suffix is how you specify which legend is etched on the stainless. Order /46 when the switch is releasing an egress door and the user needs to be told to wave rather than push.
7) What is the difference between the red/green and blue/green Camden ValueWave switches?
Those are the two illumination options, and the choice is a facility standard rather than a functional one. Red/green reads as stop/go, which suits a secured opening where the switch is not always live. Blue/green is the common accessible entrance convention. Both are available in single gang, double gang, and narrow plates, with or without the power supply.
8) Will the Camden switch faceplate match the other stainless hardware in the building?
Faceplates are satin stainless steel across every size and graphic option, so they sit alongside 630 satin stainless push plates, pulls, and cover plates without looking off. For a property manager standardizing a fleet of openings, that is one finish decision made once.
