FEATURES AND APPLICATIONS
SureWave™ switches have been designed for use in a wide range of door control applications, including ADA compliant activation of automatic door operators, as a ‘Request To Exit’ switch in access control systems, or in other life safety or service applications. This section explains the specifications and features of the 6 different SureWave™ switch models, with examples of their typical application.
-
Sensor Range
There are 3 ranges of sensor activation supported by SureWave™ switches to select the perfect switch for any application:-
Standard Range
An adjustable 3 inch to 28-inch detection range is supported by SureWave™ line powered, wired switches, including CM-324, CM-331, and CM-332 series. -
Applications: Standard range models are used for most door control applications, including where a ‘knowing act’ device is required.
-
Short Range
An adjustable 1 inch to 12-inch detection range is supported by SureWave™ CM-325, CM-330 and CM-333 series switches. -
Applications: Short range models are used in confined spaces (ie. inside a restroom) or where mirrored surfaces (ie. chrome equipment in hospital application) can cause standard range models to false activate.
-
Extended Range
With a range of up to 6 feet, CM-331 and CM-332 automatically detect the horizontal range available and adjusts to that distance. -
Applications: The extended range feature allows SureWave™ switches to be used as a door activation motion detector, in applications such as across a hallway.
-
-
Wired/Wireless
SureWave™ offers the largest selection of touchless switch models to make installation easy in any application.-
a. Power (line or battery)
-
SureWave™ 12V/24, AC/DC powered switches include CM-324, CM-325, CM-331, and CM-332 series switches.
-
Applications : Line powered switches are used for most door control applications and line power must be used if the switch has light ring illumination.
-
SureWave™ battery powered (‘AA’ alkaline or lithium) switches include CM-330 (wireless) and CM-333 (hybrid) series switches, which provide over 2 years of battery life (with 100 operations per day).
-
Applications : Installing battery powered wireless switches is typically half the cost of installing line powered, wired, switches.
NOTE : Optional lithium batteries (CM-LP1) are recommended for (outdoor) winter environments, below 32F/0C, and more than double the battery life of the switch, and reduce maintenance costs -
Signal (wired or wireless)
-
SureWave™ offers a range of hardwired models with Form C relay outputs, including CM-324, CM-325, CM- 331 and CM-333 (1 relay), and CM-332 (2 relays) series.
-
CM-331, CM-332, and CM-333 series switches have hardwired contacts and also give you the option to install a plug-in wireless transmitter, so you can activate multiple hardwired and wireless circuits with 1 switch.
-
NOTE: CM-330 series switches and CM-TX99 plug-in transmitters are 915Mhz. spread spectrum wireless devices that require a compatible CM-RX90 (1 relay) or CM-RX92 (2 relays) receiver.
-
Hybrid (battery powered, wire)
CM-333 (hybrid) series switches support retrofit applications by providing battery power for the switch (sensor) and use the (2) existing wires for the signal. This design enables the replacement of a non-powered push button with a touchless switch in minutes!
-
-
Activation Inputs
SureWave™ touchless switches offer a number of exclusive switch activation features that are not available elsewhere. These features enable SureWave™ switches to be used in more applications than simply as a stand-alone activation switch.-
Switch Activation Modes
SureWave™ touchless switches are unique in providing the option for different device operations, depending on how it is programmed. -
Momentary Wave
All SureWave™ Series: A wave of the hand in front of faceplate activates the relay.
Applications: Ideal for most door control applications. -
Momentary Wave with Alarm
CM-330, 331, 332 & 333 Series: Switch alarm will sound if hand or object is held in front of the switch for more than 30 seconds.
Applications: Ideal for security doors that are to remain closed. -
Toggle Wave (Maintained)
All SureWave™ Series: A 1st wave of the hand in front of faceplate activates the relay. A 2nd wave of the hand deactivates the relay.
Applications: Ideal for occupancy sensing and control of equipment or building systems, such as lighting. -
Held Presence (Maintained)
CM-331 & 332: A hand or object held in front of the faceplate will maintain the relay as long as the hand or object is detected.
Applications : Ideal for healthcare applications where hospital beds or equipment need the doors held open for longer periods of time. -
Extended Range Mode
CM-331 & 332 Series: The switch will automatically sense range up to 6 ft. and adjust to detect ‘momentary wave’ motion within that range.
Applications : Ideal for door control across hallways -
b. ‘Request To Exit’ Input
-
SureWave™ CM-330, 331, 332 & 333 Series switches have a REX input for use with access control systems.
Applications: In this application, the door is unlocked/opened by either the
SureWave™ switch or a REX switch. Using the REX input of SureWave™ switch eliminates the requirement for a REX switch to be wired back to the access control system -
c. Door Contact Input
-
SureWave™ CM-331, 332 Series switches have a door contact input to be able to sense the door position.
-
Applications: This is typically used for door sequencing, where a second door is allowed to open before the 1st door is closed.
-
External Light Ring Control
-
SureWave™ CM-331, 332 Series switches provide the option for an LED light ring with an external control input. The idle and activation illumination of the
light ring can be configured ‘off’, red, green or blue.
Applications: The most common use of external light ring control is for door control in restrooms, where the light ring illuminated is controlled by a CX-33 relay – to indicate a door locked/occupied status of the restroom.
-
-
Control Outputs
SureWave line powered touchless switches are available with 1 or 2 relay contacts, with some models also providing the option to install a (CM-TX99) plug-in wireless transmitter. CM-333 series switches offer 1 battery powered relay contact. CM-330 is a wireless series, and the installer able to select the operation of the wireless receiver relays to suit their specific project requirements.-
