Description
The Camden Door Controls CM-1070 is a surface-mount key switch designed for access control and door activation applications. It operates on a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) momentary contact configuration, making it suitable for controlling electric strikes, magnetic locks, and door release circuits. The switch is intended for surface installation on walls, door frames, or control panels where a keyed, momentary actuation signal is required. Licensed electricians and access control technicians are the primary installers of this device in commercial and light-industrial environments.
The CM-1070 is used in commercial access control installations where a keyed input is needed to trigger a momentary signal. Typical applications include door release stations, gate control systems, and security panels where only authorized personnel with a physical key should be able to activate the circuit. It is suited for both new construction and retrofit projects requiring a discrete, surface-mounted control point.
Key Features
- Surface-mount design allows direct wall or frame installation without a recessed housing
- SPDT momentary contact configuration supports a wide range of control circuit wiring schemes
- Keyed operation restricts actuation to authorized users
- Compact form factor suitable for door frames, vestibules, and control panels
- Sold as an individual unit (each)
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style surface-mount key switch for commercial access control and door release systems.
Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or certified access control technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Disconnect and de-energize all associated circuits before wiring the switch. Verify that the SPDT momentary contact ratings are compatible with the connected load before commissioning. Do not use this switch to directly control high-voltage loads beyond its rated contact capacity.
