Camden CM-RQE70A PIR Request-to-Exit Detector
Intelligent, Touch-Free Exit Detection in a Compact Door-Frame Design
The Camden CM-RQE70A is a compact passive infrared motion detector designed to provide touch-free request-to-exit activation for access-controlled doors. Mounted above the doorway on the secure side, it detects an approaching occupant and signals the access-control system to release the locking hardware.
With dual Form “C” relay contacts, adjustable detection coverage, multiple operating modes, and convenient push-button programming, the CM-RQE70A provides installers with a flexible solution for commercial access-control and automatic-door applications.
