Camden Door Controls CM-221M/42 Wave to Open Switch

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CM-221M/42 is a touchless wave-to-open switch designed for hands-free door activation in access control and automatic door systems. The unit uses proximity sensing to detect a hand gesture, triggering the door operator without physical contact. This makes it well suited for installations where hygiene, accessibility compliance, or high-traffic flow is a priority. The CM-221M/42 is installed by licensed electricians or door system technicians as part of a complete automatic door or access control assembly.

The CM-221M/42 is used in commercial and institutional settings including healthcare facilities, food service environments, offices, and public buildings where touchless entry is required. It integrates with standard automatic door operators and access control panels. The wave-to-open function reduces cross-contamination risk and supports ADA-compliant door activation workflows in both new construction and retrofit applications.
