Camden Door Controls CM-221M/46N Exit Device with Override

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CM-221M/46N is a Valuewave NG series exit device with override, designed for access-controlled door applications in commercial and institutional buildings. This unit serves as a push-to-exit or request-to-exit component, allowing free egress while integrating with electronic access control systems. The override function gives facility managers or security personnel the ability to bypass normal exit logic when conditions require it. Licensed electricians and low-voltage access control technicians are the primary trades responsible for installation and commissioning of this device.

The CM-221M/46N is suited for commercial entry and exit points where controlled egress is required, such as office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and secured corridors. It fits into access control systems where a push-button exit trigger or request-to-exit signal must be generated at the door. The override capability supports scenarios where standard exit logic must be temporarily suspended, making it practical for security desk integration or emergency egress management workflows.
