Camden CM-6040 Electronic Push-to-Lock Strike
Overview
The Camden CM-6040 is a 30VDC electronic strike rated for push-to-lock operation with key-to-release capability. This unit is designed as a maintained (N/C) strike—meaning it holds the door locked when powered and releases only when the access control system de-energizes the coil or a physical key overrides the lock. Deploy this in commercial door frames where you need both automated card/badge control and manual mechanical override for emergency egress or maintenance bypass.
Compatibility
The CM-6040 integrates with access control systems that support 30VDC strike control outputs. It is compatible with HID credential reader platforms and standard enterprise access control panels that provision strike relay outputs rated for 30VDC loads. Consult your panel documentation to verify the strike output is wired for maintained (continuous) voltage rather than momentary pulse control; this unit is not suitable for impulse-only architectures.
Installation Notes
Wire the CM-6040 directly to the strike output on your access control panel or power controller. Verify the panel supplies stable 30VDC under load before commissioning. The red housing provides high visibility for emergency bypass. If your door frame is already cut for a standard electric strike, confirm the footprint and edge-mount orientation match your frame preparation. Key override should be tested during final walkthrough—confirm the mechanical key release functions smoothly and does not jam under power-down conditions.
