Camden Door Controls CM-8020GE Exit Switch Green Button

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CM-8020GE is a single-gang exit switch featuring a 1-inch green pushbutton actuator and a double-pole single-throw (DPST) contact configuration. This type of device is used in access control systems to provide a momentary signal that releases an electric strike, magnetic lock, or other electrified hardware, allowing egress from a secured door. The DPST contact arrangement gives the installer two independent switching circuits in a single actuator, which is useful when the access control panel and a separate monitoring or alarm circuit both need to see the switch event. Licensed electricians and low-voltage access control technicians are the primary installers of this device.

The CM-8020GE is suited for commercial and institutional interior door applications where a clearly visible, code-compliant egress switch is required. Common install locations include office corridors, healthcare facilities, educational buildings, and any interior door controlled by an electromagnetic locking system that must comply with egress release requirements. The single-gang form factor fits a standard electrical box, keeping the installation straightforward in new construction and retrofit work alike.

Key Features

• 1-inch green pushbutton actuator provides a high-visibility egress activation point
• DPST contact configuration supports two independent switching circuits from one actuator
• Single-gang form factor mounts to a standard electrical box
• Designed for momentary-contact egress and access control applications
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation exit switch for single-gang access control and electrified door hardware systems requiring a DPST momentary pushbutton egress device.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or certified low-voltage access control technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements and local building codes. De-energize the access control panel and any associated electrified door hardware before wiring the switch. Verify that the contact rating of the switch is compatible with the load requirements of the connected hardware before completing the circuit. Do not apply line voltage to low-voltage access control wiring.
