Camden Door Controls CM-8085GE Pneumatic Exit Switch

Product Description

The Camden Door Controls CM-8085GE is a green pneumatic request-to-exit (REX) switch designed for access control applications. Pneumatic REX switches detect pressure applied to a push pad and generate a signal to release an electric door strike or magnetic lock without requiring direct electrical contact at the button surface. This makes them a reliable choice in environments where hygiene, vandal resistance, or intrinsically safe operation is a priority. The CM-8085GE is identified by its green color, which is the conventional indicator color for exit and egress hardware in access control installations. Licensed electricians and low-voltage access control technicians are the primary installers of this device.

Pneumatic REX switches like the CM-8085GE are used in commercial and institutional access control systems, including office buildings, healthcare facilities, schools, and secured entry points where touchplate or wave-to-open egress is required. The switch mounts at the door to provide a means of egress request, typically wired back to an access control panel, electric strike, or magnetic lock controller. It is suited for both interior and exterior door applications where a durable, low-maintenance exit device is needed.

Key Features

• Pneumatic actuation eliminates direct electrical contact at the push surface
• Green color finish aligns with standard egress hardware color conventions
• Designed for request-to-exit (REX) applications in access control systems
• Sold as an individual unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation component for commercial access control systems requiring a pneumatic request-to-exit switch. Confirm panel and lock controller input compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician familiar with access control wiring and local building codes. Power down or de-energize the connected access control panel and any electric locking hardware before making wiring connections. Follow all applicable local electrical codes and the door hardware manufacturer wiring diagrams. Do not install in applications exceeding the rated electrical parameters of the device.
