Camden Door Controls CM-1160 Keyswitch 2 Spdt Maintained

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CM-1160 is a maintained-contact keyswitch designed for access control applications in commercial and institutional door systems. It features two single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switching circuits in a maintained-action configuration, meaning the switch holds its position after the key is turned rather than returning to neutral on key removal. Licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians install this type of device to provide secure, key-operated control of electric door hardware, magnetic locks, electric strikes, and related access control equipment.

The CM-1160 is suited for commercial entry points, vestibule doors, stairwell egress doors, and secured interior access zones. Maintained keyswitches are a common choice when the controlled device must remain energized or de-energized until deliberately switched back, such as holding a mag-lock released during a loading operation or disabling a door access reader for maintenance. The dual SPDT output configuration allows simultaneous control of two independent circuit paths from a single key operation, supporting more complex access control wiring layouts.

Key Features

• Maintained-action switching holds circuit state after key is turned and removed
• Dual SPDT contacts provide two independently switchable circuit paths
• Key-operated actuation restricts control to authorized personnel
• Designed for integration with electric locks, strikes, and access control panels
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style component for commercial access control systems requiring key-operated maintained switching at door entry points.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or certified low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for access control wiring. De-energize all connected door hardware and access control panel circuits before wiring or replacing the keyswitch. Verify that the maintained switching mode is appropriate for the controlled device, as using a maintained switch in place of a momentary switch can result in unintended latch or lock states. Confirm correct circuit polarity and contact orientation before restoring power.
