Camden 4-1/2\" Push Plate Switch Wheelchair \& - CM-45/455SE1

Camden CM-45/455SE1 Push Plate Switch, Wheelchair & Push to Open

Overview

The Camden CM-45/455SE1 is a 4-1/2" push plate access control switch designed for door release and push-to-open applications in networked security environments. This model integrates wheelchair-accessible activation with standard push-button operation, making it suitable for facilities requiring ADA compliance alongside conventional access patterns. The CM-45/455SE1 communicates via TCP/IP protocol and operates at 30VDC, enabling seamless integration into IP-based access control systems without dedicated hardwired control lines.

Key Features

• 4-1/2" Form Factor: Large push plate surface area accommodates wheelchair users and reduces activation force requirements for accessibility compliance.
• Dual-Mode Activation: Supports both wheelchair access operation and standard push-to-open door control from a single device.
• TCP/IP Communication: Network-connected architecture eliminates analog relay lines, reducing installation complexity and enabling remote monitoring and control through your IP access management platform.
• 30VDC Operating Voltage: Low-voltage design integrates with standard access control power supplies and strike systems commonly deployed in commercial security installations.
• Strike/Lock Interface: Functions as a lock/strike control device within access control topology, triggering door release mechanisms upon authorization.
• IP Network Integration: Direct TCP/IP connectivity allows the CM-45/455SE1 to report activation events, receive commands, and participate in networked access policies without intermediate relay controllers.

Integration & Compatibility

The CM-45/455SE1 (often searched as CM 45/455SE1) integrates directly into TCP/IP-based access control systems. Its network-native design allows security integrators to eliminate traditional hardwired strike circuits, reducing conduit runs and simplifying troubleshooting. The push plate connects to any access control panel or controller supporting TCP/IP device endpoints, with activation events logged as standard access transactions. The 30VDC requirement aligns with existing access control power infrastructure, allowing straightforward retrofit into established door release circuits or new deployment alongside modern IP intercoms and readers.

For facilities with mixed accessibility requirements, the dual-mode operation supports both ADA wheelchair-accessible activation and conventional foot-traffic push-to-open patterns, eliminating the need for separate devices. Integration with entry scheduling, vestibule control, and emergency unlock scenarios depends on your access control platform's capabilities—confirm TCP/IP device support and event logging with your system administrator before ordering.
