Note: The Mortise Cylinder is sold separately.

The CAMDEN CM-1092 key switch is designed to work with most 1″, 1 1/8″, or 1 1/4″ mortise cylinders, and with different types of cams. It can be installed with one or two switches, which can be either momentary and/or maintained (alternating on/off).

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). Note that 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.

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.

The CAMDEN CM-1092 is designed to work with most 1″, 1 1/8″ or 1 1/4″ mortise cylinders. For this application, use a standard cam with a minimum length (L) of 0.550″ and a maximum length (L) of 0.785″.

The CAMDEN CM-1092 model comes equipped with two (2) DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) maintained contact switches. The part number for each switch is 60-68D055, and each is rated for 6A @ 125V AC, 3A @ 30V DC.

The CAMDEN CM-1092 uses a DPDT Maintained switch (Type 6). The wiring color code is as follows:

Functionality (Maintained): When the switch is pressed, it will provide a change of state on both of the N.O. (Normally Open) & N.C. (Normally Closed) poles until the switch is pressed again.

The CAMDEN CM-1092 can be ordered with optional LEDs. These LEDs are designed for DC Voltage only. The wiring configurations are as follows:

For a single RED, GREEN, or AMBER LED (12 VDC):

Connect the positive (+) wire to the RED wire of the LED. Connect the negative (-) wire to the BLACK wire of the LED. A 560 ohm resistor is integrated with the LED.

For a single RED, GREEN, or AMBER LED (24 VDC):

Connect the positive (+) wire to the RED wire of the LED. Connect the negative (-) wire to the BLACK wire of the LED through a 1.5k ohms resistor.

For a Bi-Colour LED (12 VDC):

The LED has a RED, GREEN, and BLACK wire. Connect the positive (+) source to a SPDT switch. Connect the RED and GREEN wires to the switch terminals. Connect the BLACK wire to the negative (-) source through a 560 ohms resistor.

For a Bi-Colour LED (24 VDC):

The LED has a RED, GREEN, and BLACK wire. Connect the positive (+) source to a SPDT switch. Connect the RED and GREEN wires to the switch terminals. Connect the BLACK wire to the negative (-) source through a 1.5k ohms resistor.
