Camden CM-43CBLA Watertight Surface Mounting Reader Box
Overview
The CM-43CBLA is a watertight surface-mounting enclosure designed to house keypad readers in outdoor and moisture-exposed installations. This box solves the deployment problem of protecting credential readers on building exteriors, loading docks, and utility areas where flush-mount or recessed installation is not practical. The weathertight construction shields internal keypad electronics from rain, dust, and environmental stress while maintaining tactile access to the keypad itself. Install this enclosure on any standard wall surface using supplied mounting hardware—no special framing or rough-in required.
Compatibility
The CM-43CBLA accommodates standard keypad readers and key switch mechanisms. Designed to integrate into wired access control systems. Confirm your specific keypad model (HID, Salto, Honeywell, or equivalent) fits the internal cavity before ordering—enclosure dimensions and mounting preps vary by reader type. Surface-mount orientation works on vertical walls, pole-mounted frames, or gate posts.
Installation Notes
Mounting hardware is stainless steel; use provided fasteners to secure the box to wood, metal, or masonry surfaces. The cap design features a peaked roof profile to shed water and unscrews with an Allen key for easy access to batteries or wireless transmitter components if applicable. Ensure adequate drainage around the base—do not install in areas where standing water pools at the foundation. Hard-wired configurations require low-voltage conduit entry through the base or side knockouts; plan cable runs to avoid water ingress at entry points.
