Camden CM-9600 Illuminated Piezoelectric Push Button

Overview

The CM-9600 is an illuminated piezoelectric push button for door strike and lock control in access control installations. It operates on 24VDC and is built around a heavy-duty stainless steel faceplate rated for weatherproof and vandal-resistant outdoor or high-traffic indoor use. The piezo actuation (no mechanical switch) eliminates moving parts subject to wear, and the built-in illumination (red/green selectable via jumper) provides user feedback during credential entry. The integrated 40-second adjustable timer controls relay hold time, making it suitable for automatic door operators, electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, and request-to-exit (RTE) applications. Field-selectable N/O and N/C contacts (rated 2A @ 30VDC) support both fail-safe and fail-secure configurations.

Compatibility

The CM-9600 integrates into standard access control system architectures where a 24VDC push-button actuator is required. It pairs with door strike controllers, automatic door operators, and electric lock systems that accept a 24VDC relay contact input. The stainless steel faceplate and piezo design make it suitable for retrofit into existing single-gang openings (flush-mount installations). Compatible with systems requiring momentary or timed activation; the adjustable timer accommodates hold-time configurations from seconds to 40 seconds depending on the door operator's dwell requirement.

Installation Notes

Mount flush in a single-gang faceplate opening. Requires 24VDC power supply and control wiring to the strike or lock relay. Illumination and relay function are jumper-selectable on the unit for red/green/off lighting and N/O/N/C contact mode. The stainless steel construction handles outdoor exposure and high-moisture environments; no special sealing required beyond standard electrical box installation practices. Wiring: supply 24VDC, ground, and two relay contacts to the downstream strike or lock controller.
