The UL Listed SPDT momentary-contact switch fits single or 2-gang electrical boxes and MS Sedco surface mount boxes. Available in stainless steel and powder-coated aluminum finishes with etched and paint-filled legends.

MS Sedco 59-HSS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the MS Sedco 59 BioPlate push plate mount to the single-gang box already in my wall?
It will. The 59 BioPlate switch mounts to a single-gang or a 2-gang electrical box, so an existing single-gang rough-in works without changing the box. Where there is no box in the wall at all, or the wall is block, glass, or a mullion you cannot cut into, it also mounts to the MS Sedco #1020 surface box, which is ordered separately. The 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch formed stainless back plate sits behind the face and covers the wall surface around the opening.
2) How does a 59 Series push plate switch wire into an automatic door operator?
The 59 BioPlate uses a UL Listed SPDT momentary microswitch with NO, NC and COM wire leads. That is a dry contact, so it carries no voltage of its own and lands directly on the activation input of an operator that expects a dry closure. For a normal push-to-open activation you use COM and NO. The NC leg is there when the control logic needs a contact that opens on press, which is how vestibule interlocks and some monitoring circuits are wired. Because the contact is momentary, the plate signals on press and releases, leaving hold-open time to the operator.
3) Can this MS Sedco push plate go on an exterior door that gets rained on?
Only in the weatherproof build. An IP68 weatherproof option is offered on the 59 Series 4-1/2 inch square plate, and that is the one to specify for an exterior wall, a loading entrance, or anywhere the plate sees rain or washdown. The standard configuration is the interior build. Specify the option at order time rather than trying to seal a standard plate in the field.
4) We can't run wire to where the push plate needs to go. Is there a wireless version of the 59 BioPlate?
Yes. The 59 BioPlate is offered in a wireless version for openings where pulling a cable to the plate location is impractical, which is the usual case on a glass sidelite, a freestanding bollard position, a masonry wall across a corridor, or an occupied space you cannot open up. The wired version uses the same SPDT momentary switch with NO, NC and COM leads, so the plate itself and its mounting are unchanged; the wireless option only changes how the signal reaches the operator.
5) I'm replacing an old 4-1/2 inch square push plate at a hospital entrance. Will this drop into the same spot?
In most cases yes. The 59 BioPlate is the standard 4-1/2 inch square format with a 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch back plate, and it mounts to a single or 2-gang electrical box, which is what the plate coming off the wall is almost certainly sitting on. The old wiring reconnects to NO and COM on the SPDT switch for standard activation. What to confirm before you order is the box in the wall, since a plate that was mounted on a surface box needs the MS Sedco #1020 surface box, ordered separately, to sit correctly.
6) Is the Camden CM-46 Series push plate switch an equivalent to the MS Sedco 59 BioPlate?
They overlap on size and diverge on what the plate itself does. The Camden CM-46 Series is a 4-1/2 inch square push plate switch, and the MS Sedco 59 BioPlate uses a 4 inch by 4 inch all-active face plate backed by a 4-1/2 inch by 4-1/2 inch formed stainless steel back plate, so both occupy the same nominal square on the wall. The 59 BioPlate carries antimicrobial additives integrated directly into the faceplate material, and its switching device is a UL Listed SPDT momentary-contact microswitch wired NO/NC/COM on leads, mounting to a single or 2-gang electrical box or an MS Sedco #1020 surface box. If the antimicrobial faceplate is what the specification calls out, the 59 BioPlate is the part that carries it. If the requirement is a 4-1/2 inch square activation plate on a momentary contact, the Camden CM-46 Series covers that footprint.
7) Which finish and legend do I order on the MS Sedco 59 BioPlate square push plate?
Three combinations are offered: blue background with white legend, stainless steel with blue legend, and stainless steel with black legend. The blue background plate is the high-visibility choice most often used to flag an accessible entrance, while the stainless plates with blue or black legends blend into a stainless or brushed hardware set. Finishes are stainless steel and powder-coated aluminum, and the legends are etched and paint filled rather than screen printed on top, so the lettering survives constant hand and elbow contact.
8) Does a user have to hit a specific button on the 59 BioPlate, or does the whole plate work?
The whole face is active. The 4 x 4 inch faceplate is all-active, so pressure anywhere on it triggers the switch. That matters for the people these plates exist for: someone in a chair pushing with a forearm, a nurse with a cart, or a person carrying boxes bumping it with a hip all make contact without aiming for a target. The face sits on a 4-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch formed stainless back plate that takes the abuse against the wall.
9) Will the antimicrobial protection wear off when housekeeping wipes the plate down with disinfectant every shift?
The antimicrobial additive is compounded into the faceplate material itself, not applied as a surface coating, so there is no topical layer to scrub away or wear through at the contact point. Appearance and switch performance are unchanged by the additive. That is what makes the BioPlate a fit for hospitals, clinics, and medical office buildings where the plate gets cleaned repeatedly and a coated plate would eventually be polished bare.
10) Is there a braille push plate option for an accessibility upgrade?
Braille faceplates are an option on the 59 Series square push plate, offered to support ADA accessibility requirements. It is specified at order, not added later, so decide it with the finish and legend when you write the order. Everything behind it stays the same: the UL Listed SPDT momentary switch and the single or 2-gang box mounting.
11) What other brand makes a 4-1/2 inch square push plate switch if I need to match an existing building standard?
Camden Door Controls builds the CM-46 Series in the same 4-1/2 inch square format, so it is the closest cross-brand match on plate size and cutout. The difference that decides it is the face: the MS Sedco BioPlate carries the antimicrobial additive in the faceplate material and offers a braille faceplate option, which is why it lands in healthcare and public facilities. If a facility has already standardized on Camden plates elsewhere, matching the CM-46 keeps the look consistent; if the spec calls for an antimicrobial activation surface, the BioPlate is the one that answers it.
12) Is the MS Sedco 59 BioPlate rated for commercial traffic in a school or public building?
It is a commercial-grade activation switch, built around a UL Listed SPDT momentary microswitch behind a formed stainless steel back plate, and it is used in schools, government and municipal buildings, retail centers, and commercial offices. The stainless back plate is what takes the load into the wall, and the legends are etched and paint filled, so heavy daily use does not scrub the lettering off the way it does on a printed face.
13) Does the Camden CM-46 Series push plate switch carry a fire rating?
No, the Camden CM-46 Series 4-1/2 inch square push plate switches carry no fire rating. On the MS Sedco 59 BioPlate, the certification to write into a submittal is the UL Listed SPDT momentary-contact switch, which is a listing on the switching device, and the unit is a commercial grade device with optional braille faceplates for ADA-compliant accessibility requirements. Both plates mount to a box in the wall beside the opening rather than into the door leaf, so on a rated opening the questions that decide approval are the listed switch and the box, not a rating stamped on the plate.
