Camden Door Controls CM-5020RE Red Palm Switch Exit

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CM-5020RE is a red palm switch designed for access control and door release applications. It provides both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contact outputs, giving installers flexibility when wiring to a wide range of access control panels and electric locking hardware. The CM-5020RE is suited for use in commercial and institutional buildings where a large, highly visible actuator is required for egress or door activation. Security integrators, low-voltage electricians, and access control technicians typically specify this switch for exit device installations.

The CM-5020RE is commonly installed at doorways requiring hands-free or large-target activation, such as corridors, service entries, and accessible routes requiring ADA-compliant actuator sizing. It fits into access control systems as an exit request device, triggering an electric strike, magnetic lock, or door operator upon contact. The large red palm plate provides immediate visual identification for building occupants and emergency egress scenarios.

Key Features

• Dual NO and NC contact outputs for flexible wiring to most access control systems
• Large red palm plate for high visibility and easy actuation
• Suitable for exit request and door release applications in commercial environments
• Single unit per package for straightforward individual installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style exit request device compatible with standard access control panels and electric locking hardware that accept dry-contact NO or NC input signals.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or access control integrator. Disconnect power to the access control panel and any associated electric locking hardware before wiring. Follow local building codes and applicable NEC requirements for low-voltage wiring and device mounting height, particularly where ADA compliance is required. Do not exceed the rated switching capacity of the contacts when connecting to downstream control equipment.
