  • Camden's CX-WC18 switches enhance restroom privacy with ADA, NBC, CSA, compliance.
  • New touchless sensor brings user convenience, reducing costs with single-activation device.
  • Available in various finishes, these switches fit confined spaces with low visibility.

Camden has introduced the CX-WC17 and CX-WC18 lines of Restroom Control Systems, featuring built-in LED annunciation. These systems are equipped with VR models that include Column switches incorporating a touchless sensor, which can also function through mechanical activation by pressing the full-length center actuator.

Notably, the CX-WC18 series offers slim Column switches that are 4-1/2 inches wide, designed to minimize intrusiveness. All models boast a robust extruded aluminum construction and CSA-compliant activation plates, available in 'Side Load' and 'Top Load' configurations.

CSA Compliant Activation Plates

The 'Top Load' models are ideal for scenarios where there are no obstructions above the installed unit and a discreet, shallow profile (2-1/4 inches or 57mm deep) is preferred. These are mounted vertically on walls using adjustable leveling screws.

On the other hand, 'Side Load' models are tailored for tight spaces with physical obstructions

On the other hand, 'Side Load' models are tailored for tight spaces with physical obstructions, such as a hand-dryer above or narrow curtain walls where the Column switch spans a glass panel. Their compact design makes these switches perfect for maintaining restroom privacy, especially when multiple switches are installed together.

Latest Compliance Requirements

In response to evolving building codes across North America, which increasingly demand single touchless activation devices rather than dual high/low switches, the Column switches enhance user convenience and reduce installation costs.

The CX-WC18VR series complies with the latest requirements from ADA, NBC, CSA, CSBC, OBC, and the California Building Code. These switches are available in clear aluminum, black, and bronze anodized finishes. The 'PS' models include a pre-wired metal enclosure complete with the CX-33PS Power Supply, Transformer, and the CX-ED2079 Electric Strike. Also available are diverse faceplate graphic options and multi-language signage to cater to various needs.
