Camden CM-5040 Push/Pull Electronic Strike

Overview

The Camden CM-5040 is a 30VDC push/pull electronic strike configured for maintained N/C (normally closed) operation. It fits secured doorway installations where you need a fail-secure strike that remains engaged until explicit de-energization. Red finish provides visual identification in access control deployments. The CM-5040 integrates into systems requiring manual push/pull activation — typical for retrofit scenarios, high-traffic entries, and installations where credential reader integration happens upstream at the controller level.

Compatibility

The CM-5040 operates at 30VDC, making it compatible with standard access control power supplies and maintained relay outputs. It supports N/C contact wiring — the strike remains locked until energized to release. Use this model in systems where your access control panel or reader interface can source 30VDC to the strike coil. Works with any electromagnetic lock or strike driver rated for 30VDC DC solenoid control. Confirm your power supply can deliver sustained current draw before deployment.

Installation Notes

Mount the strike to the door frame using the bolt pattern and hardware supplied with the unit. Ensure wiring runs 30VDC positive and negative directly from your control panel or maintained relay output to the strike terminals. For fail-secure operation, wire N/C so the strike defaults locked (de-energized). Run wire in conduit where exposed to traffic or environmental stress. Verify voltage at the strike terminals before final commissioning — voltage drop over long runs (50+ feet) may require gauge upgrade or a dedicated 30VDC supply closer to the door.
