Camden Door Controls CM-221/42 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Camden CM-221 touchless switch be mounted outdoors on an exterior door?
Yes. The ValueWave CM-221 touchless actuator is IP 65 rated for indoor or outdoor use, and it operates from 14 F to 122 F (-10 C to +50 C). That temperature band is the limit to watch in cold climates: an unheated vestibule in a northern winter can drop below -10 C, so mount it where it stays inside that range.
2) Which faceplate size of the Camden CM-221/42 switch do I need for my box?
Three plate sizes are offered: single gang (CM-221/42), double gang (CM-221/42W) and narrow (CM-221/42N). Pick the one that matches the box or mullion you are mounting to. Narrow is the one to use on a hollow metal jamb or a narrow stile where a single gang plate will not sit flat. All plates are satin stainless steel.
3) Is the CM-221/42 faceplate the right one for an ADA barrier-free entrance?
The /42 graphic carries a hand icon, 'Wave to Open' text and the wheelchair symbol, which is the plate specified for barrier-free power door entrances where users need both the instruction and the accessibility marking. If you want a plate without the wheelchair symbol, you need a different graphic suffix in the CM-221 series.
4) How does a wave-to-open switch differ from a push plate actuator?
The CM-221 uses an active infrared air sensor, so the user passes a hand in front of the plate and nothing is touched. A mechanical push plate needs contact and has moving parts that wear in high traffic. Touchless is what gets specified in healthcare, food service and washrooms where hygiene drives the decision; a push plate is still the simpler choice where there is no power at the jamb.
5) Can I set a hold time on the Camden CM-221 relay output?
The relay is multi-function, so the output behaviour is selectable rather than fixed at a single momentary pulse. Set it on the board to suit whether you are pulsing a door operator input or holding an access control contact.
6) What are the dimensions of the Camden CM-221/42 switch?
The stated figures are 4.5 inch height, 1-3/4 inch width and 1.75 inch length, with a unit weight of 0.35. Those are the single gang plate proportions; the narrow and double gang versions change the plate footprint.
7) Is the Camden ValueWave CM-221 suitable for a commercial building or is it a residential product?
It is a commercial-grade device, built for high traffic openings with a stainless steel faceplate. Property managers standardizing across a portfolio can use the same /42 graphic on every barrier-free opening and just vary the plate size to suit each box.
