CAMDEN CM-1010 (01) PDF DOCUMENT

The package for the CAMDEN CM-1010 includes the following items:

(1) Heavy duty diecast surface box

(1) Heavy duty 1/4″ thick aluminum faceplate

(2) Tamper proof screws and driver

(1) Color coded 18 AWG soldered leads

(1) Weatherproof gasket

(1) Lock ring

Note: A Mortise Cylinder is Sold Separately.

1. The switch(es) provided may be mounted in either the left or the right hole on the back of the faceplate. Thread the octagonal nut (spacer ring) on to the bushing (stem) of the switch before placing the switch in the hole.

2. Insert the switch up through the bottom of the desired hole. Secure the switch in place by screwing the round threaded washer onto the top of the switch.

3. Fit the mortise cylinder through the front of the face plate being sure to align the grooves on the sides of the cylinder with the corresponding “retainers” on the back of the face plate.

4. Push firmly on the cylinder, until it snaps into place, lying flush in the front of the face plate (aluminum models only).

5. Thread the brass cylinder lock ring onto the back of the cylinder, and tighten in place.

6. Turn the key in the cylinder, and ensure the cam hits the top of the switch squarely in the center. Adjust the switch in the slotted hole until the cam hits in the center. It does not affect operation of the cam if the cylinder rests against the switch, so long as the switch is not fully depressed until activated by a turn of the key. If the cam does not depress the switch, or blocks the switch from resetting, raise or lower the octagon nut located under the switch, as needed. Extra spacers are provided and may be used as required.

7. Once the electrical connections are completed, attach the faceplate assembly to the surface box using the supplied tamperproof or stainless steel Phillips screws. For outdoor use, place the rubber weather proofing gasket behind the face plate prior to securing to the surface box.

Some cylinders may appear not to fit in the face plate. If the grooves on the side of the cylinder are irregular and do not align with the retainers on the back of the faceplate, use a metal file to file down the retainers slightly.

Note – do not file the retainers off completely as they prevent the cylinder from spinning in the face plate.

Certain operations may require different cams. For this application, use a standard cam with a minimum length (L) of 0.550″ and a maximum length (L) of 0.785″.

SPST Switch:

Momentary: When the switch is pressed the current pole will change to the opposite state until released.

Maintained: When the switch is pressed it will provide the opposite pole until the button is pressed again.

SPDT Switch:

Momentary: When the switch is pressed it will provide a change of state on the N.O. & N.C. poles until released.

Maintained: When the switch is pressed it will provide a change of state on the N.O. & N.C. poles until button pressed again.

DPDT Switch:

Momentary: When the switch is pressed it will provide a change of state on both of the N.O. & N.C. poles until released.

Maintained: When the switch is pressed it will provide a change of state on both of the N.O. & N.C. poles until pressed again.

Key Switches may be ordered with optional LEDs, which are designed for DC Voltage only. The 560Ω resistor is integrated with the LED.

RED, GREEN, or AMBER LED (12 VDC):

Connect the RED wire to positive (+) and the BLACK wire to negative (-).

RED, GREEN, or AMBER LED (24 VDC):

Connect the RED wire to positive (+). The positive wire includes a 1.5 k ohms resistor. Connect the BLACK wire to negative (-).

Bi-Colour LED (12 VDC):

Connect the RED wire for one color and the GREEN wire for the other color to the SPDT switch. Connect the BLACK wire, which includes a 560 ohms resistor, to the positive (+) voltage source.

Bi-Colour LED (24 VDC):

Connect the RED wire for one color and the GREEN wire for the other color to the SPDT switch. Connect the BLACK wire, which includes a 1.5 k ohms resistor, to the positive (+) voltage source.
