Camden CM-5085RPTE – Red PUSH TO EXIT Mushroom Button with Adjustable 1–60 Second Pneumatic Time Delay is a heavy-duty request-to-exit switch for commercial electronic locking and door-release systems. The preconfigured switch pairs a clearly labeled 2-3/8-inch (60 mm) red mushroom actuator with spring-return operation, an adjustable pneumatic timer, and DPST switch contacts on a durable single-gang brushed aluminum faceplate.

Designed for high-traffic and security-controlled openings, the CM-5085RPTE provides an easy-to-recognize manual release button with a built-in mechanical delay. A 1/4-inch-thick faceplate, vandal-resistant design, and color-coded contact terminations support professional installations in offices, retail centers, institutional facilities, warehouses, and commercial service entrances. This is the complete factory CM-5085RPTE red PUSH TO EXIT model; Camden does not list separate finish or engraving options for this exact model.

Key Features & Benefits

• Large red exit actuator: 2-3/8-inch palm-style mushroom button prominently marked PUSH TO EXIT for easy recognition.
• Mechanical time delay: 1–60 second adjustable pneumatic mechanism built into the switch; no separate electronic timer module required.
• Double-pole contact arrangement: DPST contacts provide switching for correctly engineered release and monitoring circuits.
• Spring-return push action: Returns to normal actuator position when released, with contacts operating according to the timed pneumatic mechanism.
• Heavy-duty faceplate: Single-gang, 1/4-inch-thick brushed aluminum plate resists wear and abuse.
• Commercial-duty construction: Vandal- and tamper-resistant design suited to frequent use.
• Current rating: 6 amps at 30 volts DC for compatible door-control circuits.
• Broad operating conditions: Camden specifies -13°F to 158°F operation.
• Installer-friendly connections: Color-coded spade terminal connections simplify correctly wired installations.
• Service life and warranty: 100,000-cycle switch life and Camden 3-year limited warranty.

Technical Specifications

Commercial Applications

For properly designed commercial request-to-exit installations, electromagnetic lock release circuits, security-controlled entries, institutional doors, tenant access points, industrial facilities, and monitored service openings. The timed DPST contacts can be used with a compatible door-release circuit or control relay according to the current Camden wiring instructions and the applicable release sequence.

Installation & Ordering Information

• Verify contact configuration and ratings: Confirm DPST wiring and 6A at 30VDC maximum contact rating against the locking-device control circuit. Where load rating or circuit design requires, use an appropriately rated interposing relay.
• Pneumatic timer: The delay mechanism is mechanical. The switch itself does not require a separate timer power supply, although the connected lock, controller or access-control system may require power.
• Single-gang installation: Check the faceplate, mounting depth, electrical box, protection from weather and terminal clearance before ordering.
• Egress and life safety: A timed REX button is not by itself a substitute for independent emergency unlocking, fire-alarm release, or required exit hardware. Verify the complete door-control system with applicable fire, accessibility, building and electrical codes.
• Sold individually: One complete CM-5085RPTE pushbutton assembly; maglocks, electric strikes, power supplies, wiring, enclosures and other accessories are not included unless expressly stated.

Commercial Door Worx supplies Camden exit-control switches, access-control relays, electric locks, commercial door hardware, and replacement components for security installers, general contractors and facility maintenance teams.

Timed Pneumatic REX Button Applications

The Camden CM-5085RPTE is a heavy-duty, red PUSH TO EXIT pneumatic mushroom switch for commercial request-to-exit circuits. The mechanical pneumatic timing arrangement offers an adjustable output interval of approximately 1 to 60 seconds without relying on a separate electronic timer module.

Key Configuration Details

• High-visibility activation: Large red 2-3/8-inch mushroom actuator marked for exit release.
• Adjustable delay: Pneumatic timer provides a user-configurable 1–60-second timed contact sequence.
• Switch circuit: DPST contacts for properly rated compatible access-control wiring.
• Architectural plate: Brushed aluminum faceplate suitable for mounting at a designated commercial exit.
• Commercial durability: Designed for frequent mechanical actuation at controlled access doors.

Wiring and Safety Checklist

1. Verify the device is the correct contact configuration for the controller or lock-release circuit.
2. Confirm switch voltage/current ratings and whether the design uses a separate relay interface.
3. Set the pneumatic interval appropriate to the door's release and re-locking sequence.
4. Check the mounting plate, junction box, accessibility placement and clearly visible exit labeling.
5. Test emergency release, fire-alarm interfaces and free egress under applicable building and life-safety requirements.

Important: This switch is a request-to-exit device, not a complete access control system, door closer, magnetic lock or listed delayed-egress controller. Determine the entire system's egress requirements before specifying switching or relocking times.
