Section 1__________________
General Description

Camden model EMF-2 (EMF-2m or EMF-2ABM) is a
microprocessor controlled multi-function relay. This
all-in-one design replaces our previous models
EMF-1, EMF-1m or EMF-1ABM.

The EMF-2 is designed for specialized applications
such as ABM vestibules, one or two-door restrooms
in shared-use facilities, 2 – 5 door airlocks, and
secure man-traps.

Dip switches let you easily choose the mode, and the
unit automatically programs the inputs, outputs and
potentiometers accordingly.

Removable terminal strips simplify wiring chores, and
all adjustments are conveniently located on one end
of the case.

IMPORTANT: Do not apply power to the unit until
you have read the instructions fully and made the
required adjustments.

Section 2__________________
Installation

Mounting

The EMF-2 should be mounted in a clean dry location
out of direct contact with the elements. Suitable
locations include inside a metal box, operator header,
or above a false ceiling. If placed on top of a header,
ensure that unauthorized personnel cannot tamper
with the unit.

If used in an Airlock or Mantrap application, the relay
may be located at either door location, or, centrally to
all doors. You must bring wiring from all door
actuators to this unit (as well as the lock, operator,
and door contact outputs as appropriate).

The EMF-2 is also available in an attractive lockable
metal cabinet version (EMF-2m or EMF-2ABM),
suitable for wall mounting.

barrier-free washroom applications where the strike
power may be maintained from a few minutes to
many hours. We offer a low-cost board-only
regulated power supply - CX-PS13 V2, which in turn
can be powered from a small 24VAC transformer, (or
the auxiliary power on the door control) and will
supply clean, filtered & regulated 24VDC power for
the strike and EMF-2.

Section 3A________________
Set-up Instructions

ABM Vestibule Controller (Mode 1)

The EMF-2 is a compact unit designed to interface an
automatic door operator with a card reader and lock
system such as those used on banks.

When in “Day Mode” the strike is retracted (manually,
or electrically) and the card reader is out of the
circuit. Pressing either exterior or interior wall switch
will activate the door operator.

When the EMF-2 is switched to “Night Mode” the
electric strike is energized (door is locked), and the
exterior activator (ie - wall switch) is removed from
the circuit. When a valid card is inserted, the strike
unlocks immediately, and the exterior switch is put
back into the circuit for an adjustable period, so that if
pushed by the user, it will open the door
automatically. The inside switch will unlock and open
the door at all times.

A new feature of the EMF-2 is the ability to add an
“Emergency - Push-to-Lock” switch near the ATM
machine that when activated “locks out” the card
reader input in order to afford the user extra security.
Opening the door from the inside resets the system.
(The system will also reset automatically after 10
minutes.)

Model EMF-2 ABM provides for a lockable cabinet to
house the relay, c/w two lighted push-button switches
– one to turn the relay power
other to select DAY or NITE modes.

Step 1

Select

Push dipswitch #6
which is to be energized during “Day Mode”. If using
an intermittent duty strike and/or the latch is to be
mechanically retracted during “Day Mode”, then leave
switch #6

Use of Relay 5 is optional, and set according to
dipswitches #4 & 5. (See diagram 1 for location).

If you are using this system with our Model #51T2B

card reader – then refer to the 7-pin
and make wiring connections as per the respective
card-reader wiring diagram.

If using our model #ECI-210, or another type of card
reader, or dry contact - wire to terminals 1 & 2 of the

Digital I/O strip. (Re-insert connector firmly if

removed.)
Finally, connect 12 or 24 Volt AC or DC supply to

terminals 1 & 2 of the 2-pin Power Connector.
(The terminals are not polarity sensitive).

operating times.

Activate exterior switch. Door should remain closed
and locked. Now activate the card reader input. The
door should unlock. Adjust Timer 1 for sufficient time
on the strike.

When the card reader is activated, the exterior switch
is “put into the circuit” for a limited time. This time is
adjustable from 1 – 30 seconds via pot # 4.

Re-activate the card reader, and within the time
frame, press the exterior switch. The door should
now open.

Turn the Key switch (or other type switch) to “Day
Mode”. If the strike is to be dogged back
mechanically, then do so. If it is to be powered all
day long, then confirm that it is powered and
released.

Now both the interior and exterior switches will open
the door when activated. The card-reader has no
effect on operation (it has been electronically de­activated).

A new option on the EMF-2 is the provision for an
emergency “Lock Down” switch to be added. This
momentary contact switch only functions in night
mode. This test will take two persons – one to
depress the switch inside, and another person
outside to confirm the card-reader input has been
disabled. Opening the door from the inside (either
manually or automatically) will reset the system (a
N/C magnetic door contact switch is required).

Once the desired operation is achieved, proceed to
Section 4, for System Inspection Instructions.

Section 3B________________
Set-up Instructions

Unsecured Restroom (Mode 2)

This application is a shared-use single (normally
unlocked) restroom door in facilities such as nursing
homes, hospitals, shopping malls, etc. The relay
provides control of the lock, operator, and switches,
to provide the utmost in flexibility, safety for the
occupants, yet still be easy to install and program.

The door is opened automatically by pressing the
exterior wall switch. Once the door has closed,
pressing the “Push to Lock” button inside then locks
the door – the strike is energized, and the exterior
switch is removed from the circuit. To exit the
restroom, simply push the interior wall switch. The
door unlocks, opens and resets the system. Should
the door be opened manually, the magnetic contact
switch will reset the system.

Unique to the EMF-2 is the emergency input, which
allows a panic button to unlock, open the door
(optional), and send an emergency signal for
assistance. The output can be maintained or pulsed.
As an added safety feature, the EMF-2 can be set to
automatically reset (and unlock) after 15 minutes
time.
