Camden Door Controls CM-221/A42 Single Gang Active Switch

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CM-221/A42 is a single-gang active pushbutton switch designed for access control and automatic door activation applications. It serves as a wave-to-open or touchless activation switch, triggering automatic door operators, access control panels, or electric strike systems without requiring physical contact. The active designation indicates the unit uses an internal sensor or powered switching mechanism rather than a passive dry-contact output. Installation is performed by access control technicians and low-voltage electricians in commercial and institutional entry systems.

This switch is suited for commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, retail entrances, and any location requiring hands-free or assisted-entry door activation. It mounts in a standard single-gang wall box, making it compatible with conventional electrical rough-in work. The unit integrates into automatic door operator systems and access control infrastructure where code-compliant accessible entry is required.

Key Features

• Single-gang form factor fits standard electrical wall boxes
• Active switching output for integration with automatic door operators and access control panels
• Hands-free or touchless activation reduces contact at high-traffic entry points
• Compact, surface-ready design for straightforward field installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for single-gang active pushbutton switch applications in commercial access control and automatic door operator systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage electrician or certified access control technician. De-energize all connected door operator and access control circuits before wiring. Mount in a standard single-gang electrical box per local building and electrical code requirements. Verify output signal type and voltage compatibility with the connected door operator or controller before commissioning.
