CM-30EE & CM30EE/LED

Section 1 __________________
General Description

Camden models CM-3 0 EE/ LED ar e i lluminated Exit
switches incorporating a 30 second timer. The stainless
steel faceplate is designed to mount into a 2 ½” deep
single gang electrical box, includ ed.

The large 2” translucent but ton is easy to push. CM­30EE model is supplied with a 12V AC/DC
incandescent light bulb, which is accessed through the
front or rear of the switch. CM-30EE/LED model is
supplied with a 12V DC long-life LED. If the unit is

powered 24VDC, the supplied in-line resistor must
not be removed.

This switch has been designed specifically to release a
magnetic lock from the inside, as per the BOCA code.
When the button is pushed and released, the lock will
release for 30 seconds. Re-trigger is possible at any
time.

The “double break” circuitry has been designed so that
even if the timer fails, depressing the switch will interrupt
power to the magnetic lock.

Installation

Mounting

The unit is completely pre-wired for easy installation.
Connect the appropriate wired to your devices as per the
enclosed wiring diagram. Tuck wiring into box (retrofit
box included), and fasten switch plate using standard or
tamper screws provided.

Wiring

Six color coded leads are provided. This unit will
operate on 12 or 24 VDC, with no jumper change
required. For convenience it may be powered by the
same power that supplies the magnetic lock. The two
pairs of Red & Black wires connect to 12 or 24 VDC.
One pair supplies power to the timer, and the other pair
powers the light.

The internal timer and the push button are connected in
series with the Green & White wires. This is how the
“double break” feature works. Therefore, the unit must

be wired as shown

The Green wire goes to the positive input wire of the
magnetic lock, and the White wire goes to a source of +
Voltage. Please refer to the enclosed wiring diagram for
typical hook-up.

Important

CM-30EE models have a connected lead wire wit h
black-colored heat shrink (over an in-line resistor).
CM-30EE/LED models have a connected lead wire with
blue-colored heat shrink (over an in-line resistor).

If powered 24V; Do not remove in-line resi stor
If powered 12V; Cut (remove) in-line resistor

NOTES:

The light bulb (incandescent or LED), can be accessed from
the front, by using a small slot (flat) screwdriver to remove the
plastic lens cover or from the back. To access from the back,
detach the contact block from the light fixture assembly, held in
place by two plastic retaining pins. Squeeze the retaining pins
and gently pull the contact block to remove the light fixture
assembly.

The contact block can be reassembled into the light assembly
by simply pressing it in place.
