Camden CM-5050 Push/Pull Maintained Strike
Overview
The Camden CM-5050 is a 30VDC push/pull maintained strike rated for 6 amps, supplied with both normally open (N/O) and normally closed (N/C) contact configurations. Red finish provides visual identification on secured entry points. Maintains its state (held open or held closed) after button release—unlike momentary switches—making it suitable for sustained access control signals or timed hold-unlock sequences. Designed for high-traffic commercial environments including storefronts, building exits, and institutional access points.
Compatibility
The CM-5050 integrates with any standard access control system that supplies 30VDC switching logic and requires dual-contact (N/O + N/C) strike control. Common integration points include legacy hardwired panels, relay-driven lock controllers, and modern IP-based access platforms with 24/30VDC output modules. The dual-contact design permits fail-secure wiring (N/C contact locks the door on power loss) or fail-safe wiring (N/O contact unlocks on authorized signal), depending on system architecture and security policy. Verify your access control panel or reader output can deliver the required 30VDC and switch capacity before installation.
Installation Notes
Mount using the supplied brushed aluminum mounting plate (2 3/4" width). The CM-5050 uses bayonet interlocking—no set screws required. Wiring must terminate the N/O and N/C contacts to the access control strike circuit; confirm polarity and voltage compliance before powering. Operating environment should be indoor or protected outdoor (the datasheet does not specify IP enclosure rating, so moisture-heavy applications require review). The free-spinning button design resists tampering but requires periodic inspection in high-use corridors.
