Camden Door Controls, a provider of door activation and locking devices, has added the new CX-LRS series latching relays, enabling the use of momentary ‘request for assistance’ switches, to their line of next generation emergency call systems.

CX-LRS latching relays

The CX-LRS latching relays give customers the option for either push button or key switch system reset. In addition to individual 12 and 24 V latching relays, Camden also offers latching relay system kits—the CX-WEC11 and CX-WEC12.

While these emergency call systems and components are specifically designed to meet the latest requirements of Ontario regulation 368/13 amendment to the 2012 Ontario Building Code, they are designed to provide emergency call assistance in any universal restroom, with or without low energy door operators.

LED annunciator with adjustable sounder

The emergency call system kits include a push/pull mushroom ‘PRESS FOR ASSISTANCE’ switch, or the option to use a momentary switch, such as a tape/ribbon switch, with CX-LRS latching relay. Audible and visual annunciation of the request for assistance is provided inside the restroom by a flush mount single gang LED annunciator with adjustable sounder, and outside the restroom by a single gang LED dome light with adjustable sounder.

If activation and annunciation in one product is desired, a double gang mushroom button and LED annunciator combo unit is offered. All equipment packages include an ‘IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY’ instructional sign, with 1” (25mm) lettering, as required by code. CX-WEC Series emergency call systems are available in English, French and Bilingual.
