Camden CM-420RPTE Single Gang Red Push Button
Overview
The CM-420RPTE is a single gang red push button switch designed for door activation in access control installations. It provides dual contact outputs—normally open (N/O) and normally closed (N/C)—allowing flexible integration with strike hardware and control panels. The form factor fits standard electrical boxes, making it suitable for retrofit and new construction scenarios where a tactile, immediate door release is required alongside or instead of credential readers.
Compatibility
The CM-420RPTE works with access control systems operating 12V or 24V control circuits. The N/O and N/C contact pairs are compatible with most electric strike hardware and access control panel inputs. Integrators can wire the N/O contact for active release (strike de-energize on press) and retain the N/C contact for alarm or secondary logic. Confirm your panel's input voltage and contact rating before installation—verify the strike or solenoid draw does not exceed relay capacity.
Installation Notes
The single gang mounting footprint accommodates standard US electrical boxes. Mounting hardware and stainless steel fasteners are included. Hard-wire the N/O and N/C terminals to your strike circuit or panel input. No batteries, wireless modules, or additional power supplies are required—the button operates passively as a mechanical switch. Ensure proper strain relief on wiring to prevent fatigue at terminal points. Test both contact paths (N/O close, N/C open) before final panel commissioning.
