Camden Door Controls CM-1290-7212 Dpdt Maintained Keyswitch

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CM-1290-7212 is a double-pole double-throw (DPDT) maintained-contact keyswitch with integrated 12-volt LED indicators. Maintained-contact operation means the switch holds its actuated position after the key is turned, rather than returning to neutral when released. This makes the CM-1290-7212 well suited for access control and door-locking applications where a sustained signal is required. The built-in 12V LEDs provide a clear visual status indication at the switch face. Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or low-voltage access control technician.

The CM-1290-7212 is used in commercial and institutional door control systems, including electrically controlled egress doors, magnetic lock circuits, and access control panels. Typical applications include office entry points, secure facility doors, and ADA-compliant door operator systems where a key-operated maintained switch is required to control locking or unlocking functions. The unit ships individually and is suited for both new installations and field replacements of existing keyswitches.

Key Features

• DPDT contact configuration allows simultaneous control of two independent circuits from a single key operation
• Maintained-contact action holds switch position after actuation, no continuous key pressure required
• Integrated 12-volt LEDs provide on-site status indication without external indicator wiring
• Key-operated for controlled access, restricting unauthorized switch activation
• Sold as a single unit, suitable for direct field replacement or new installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation keyswitch for commercial access control and door operator systems requiring a DPDT maintained-contact configuration with 12V LED indication.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage access control technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the access control panel and any connected locking hardware before beginning wiring. Verify that the supply circuit voltage matches the 12V LED rating before connecting power. Confirm maintained versus momentary operation is appropriate for the door control application before finalizing the installation.
