Command Access ETMM4540 629 CH-CB80 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can one hinge both power an electric lockset and monitor door position, or do I need two hinges?
One unit does both. The Command Access ETM Energy Transfer Monitor hinge carries low voltage from the hinge jamb to the lockset and contains a concealed magnetic or mechanical switch that signals whether the door is open or closed. That means a single electrified hinge in the opening instead of a separate power transfer hinge plus a surface or recessed door position switch, and fewer preps in the frame.
2) Will the ETM hinge handle the current draw of my electric strike or electrified lock?
The ETM is rated 50-100 mA at 30VDC with 0.5 A maximum in-rush current, on both the normally closed and normally open contacts. That covers typical low voltage electrified lock and monitoring circuits. A continuously energized electric strike or a mag lock drawing several hundred milliamps steady state is beyond that rating, so check your device's holding current against the 50-100 mA figure before you spec it.
3) Is this hinge heavy enough for a high traffic exterior entrance door?
The ETM is a 3 knuckle standard weight hinge with a medium duty rating and stainless steel base material. It suits commercial interior and moderate traffic openings. For a heavy or high frequency exterior door you want a heavy weight electrified hinge instead, such as the BEST CECB179-12C full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with 12-wire quick connect, or the Stanley Security CECB1900R concealed bearing concealed conductor architectural hinge.
4) Will the connectors on the ETM hinge plug into an Assa Abloy or Allegion access control system?
Optional Molex connectors are available to match either the Assa Electronyx system or the Allegion CON system. That has to be called out when you order, since it is an option rather than the default. If your electrified lock is on either of those platforms, specifying the matching connector saves splicing in the frame.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Command Access ETM-CB80 electrified hinge from another manufacturer?
The nearest peers are the Stanley Security CECB1900R54L and the BEST CECB179-12C. The Stanley CECB1900R54L is a three knuckle concealed bearing concealed conductor architectural hinge, steel full mortise, standard weight, 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 square corner, left-handed, 4-wire, and the BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect. The ETM-CB80 is a 3 knuckle standard weight hinge with a stainless steel base, and it differs from both in that it adds a concealed magnetic or mechanical monitor switch for door position signalling alongside the power transfer path. Its wire options run from 2W (2/20ga) through 10W (10/28ga), plus an M monitor-only build with no transfer conductors.
6) I need more than 10 conductors through the hinge - what should I use instead of the ETM-CB80?
The ETM-CB80 tops out at a 10W (10/28ga) wire option. For a higher conductor count, the BEST CECB179-12C is a steel full mortise concealed bearing electrified hinge with a 12-wire quick connect. Note that the BEST hinge is a power transfer hinge only, while the ETM-CB80 also carries a concealed door position monitor switch, so if you need position feedback on that opening you would add a separate door contact.
7) Can I use a Don-Jo HWBB74545 ball bearing hinge in place of a Command Access ETM-CB80?
No. The Don-Jo HWBB74545 is a heavy weight full mortise ball bearing hinge in 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 satin chrome with a heavy duty rating - a purely mechanical hinge with no conductors and no switch. The ETM-CB80 is an electrified hinge that transfers low voltage power from the hinge jamb to the lockset and carries a concealed monitor switch for door position. Swapping in the Don-Jo leaves the electrified lock without power and the access control system without a position signal.
8) What hinge sizes and finishes does the Command Access ETM come in?
Four sizes: 4.5 x 4 inch, 4.5 x 4.5 inch, 5 x 4.5 inch, and 5 x 5 inch. Two finishes, both stainless: 629 bright stainless steel and 630 satin stainless steel. Most commercial openings land on 4.5 x 4.5 in 630, which is the standard match for satin stainless and satin chrome hardware already on the door. Size the hinge to match the existing frame prep so you are not re-drilling the jamb.
9) Can someone tamper with the wiring on an energy transfer monitor hinge?
No exposed wires, cables, or switches on the ETM. The conductors and the monitor switch are concealed inside the hinge, so from the secure or non-secure side it looks like an ordinary non-power-transfer hinge. That is the main reason integrators pick a monitor hinge over a surface mounted door contact on openings where the hardware is reachable by the public.
10) Is the monitor switch in the Command Access ETM hinge normally open or normally closed?
Both contact states are covered by the rating: 50-100 mA at 30VDC with 0.5 A maximum in-rush is stated for the NC and the NO contacts alike. So whether your panel input expects a closed loop when the door is shut or an open one, the switch is rated for the circuit.
11) What is the difference between this and a plain concealed bearing commercial hinge like the Ives 3CB1?
Mechanically they occupy the same slot, 3 knuckle full mortise medium duty, and the Ives 3CB1 is a concealed bearing full mortise hinge rated medium duty. The difference is electrical: the Command Access ETM runs power through the hinge to an electrified lockset and adds a concealed door position switch. If the opening has no electrified hardware and no monitoring requirement, a standard hinge like the 3CB1 does the job and costs you nothing in wiring. Only one hinge per opening needs to be the ETM; the rest of the leaf can be standard.
12) We only need door position monitoring, not power to the lock - what are the options?
The ETM-CB80 is offered in an M monitor-only wire option, which provides the concealed position switch without transfer conductors, so you keep the look of a conventional hinge with no surface-mounted door contact. If the opening needs no electrical function at all, a standard mechanical hinge such as the Ives 3CB1 3-knuckle concealed bearing full mortise medium duty hinge covers it.
13) The opening does not need power transfer or monitoring - what plain hinge matches the ETM-CB80 geometry?
For a non-electrified opening, the Ives 3CB1 is a steel 3-knuckle concealed bearing full mortise hinge with a medium duty rating, which matches the ETM-CB80's 3 knuckle, medium duty, concealed-bearing style appearance. The Hager 920 is a full mortise concealed plain bearing hinge in 2 knuckle steel construction if a two knuckle profile suits. Neither carries conductors or a switch; the ETM-CB80 is the electrified version with power transfer and a concealed position switch.
14) Is a heavy weight hinge available if the ETM-CB80 medium duty rating is not enough for the door?
The ETM-CB80 is rated medium duty in a 3 knuckle standard weight build. For a heavier non-electrified option, the Ives 3CB1HW is a steel heavy weight concealed bearing full mortise hinge with 3 knuckles at a heavy duty rating, and the Hager BB1168 is a full mortise ball bearing heavy duty hinge with a non-removable pin. Both are mechanical only, so on an electrified opening they are typically used as the second and third hinges with the ETM-CB80 carrying the wiring.
15) For a detention or high-security opening, is the ETM-CB80 the right hinge?
The ETM-CB80 is a commercial medium duty electrified hinge with a tamper-resistant design that hides wires and the switch inside the hinge, suited to access control openings in schools, healthcare, and government buildings. For detention work, the BEST BB855 is a heavy-duty steel double weight concealed ball bearing prison hinge and the Hager 990 STEEL is a full surface prison hinge 3 by 4 with a welded tip at a heavy duty rating. Those are mechanical hinges without power transfer or position monitoring.
16) Is the Command Access ETM hinge suitable for a residential door?
It is a commercial product, built for access control openings in schools, hospitals, government buildings, and industrial facilities. For a house you would be better served by a residential hinge such as the Emtek 91013 plain bearing pair or the Delaney 4 inch bulk residential hinges, neither of which carries electrical capability you would not use.
17) Will a McKinney MP79 or MPB79 work on the same opening as an ETM-CB80?
The McKinney MP79 MacPro and MPB79 MacPro are 5-knuckle full mortise standard weight hinges at a standard duty rating, and they are non-electrified. The ETM-CB80 is a 3 knuckle standard weight hinge carrying both low voltage conductors and a concealed monitor switch. They can share an opening as the non-electrified hinges in the set, but the knuckle count differs visually, so many specifiers pair the ETM-CB80 with 3 knuckle concealed bearing hinges such as the Ives 3CB1 instead.
