CAMDEN WC17PS Series Restroom Control
WC17PS Series Restroom Control
General Description
The CX-WC17PS Restroom Control Kit allows access in and out of a restroom with the ability to secure the door once inside. The kit provides annunciation by including an Occupied light. The designation of “PS” in the part number reflects that this kit comes pre-wired in a metal enclosure with a power supply, ready to accept all field wiring.
The kit is controlled by Camden’s advanced relay logic controller CX-33. It has two modes: Mode 7 for a normally unlocked restroom and Mode 8 for a normally locked restroom. In Mode 7, pressing the exterior PUSH to OPEN column switch triggers the door operator to open the door. In Mode 8, it unlocks the strike and triggers the door operator to open the door. Once inside, pressing the PUSH to LOCK column switch keeps the door locked, disables the exterior PUSH to OPEN switch, and activates the Occupied light. Exiting the restroom can be done by pressing the inside PUSH to OPEN switch or using the crash bar, paddle, or knobset to break the door contact circuit, unlocking the door and resetting the system. The Occupied light will turn off, signaling the restroom is available.
Installation
Operation at a Glance
Pressing the exterior PUSH TO OPEN column switch sends a momentary closure to the outside PUSH TO OPEN terminal on the CX-WC17PS, allowing the door to swing open. Pressing the interior PUSH TO LOCK column switch sends a momentary closure to the inside PUSH TO LOCK terminal, locking the restroom and turning on the Occupied light. Pressing the inside PUSH TO OPEN column switch sends a momentary closure to the inside PUSH TO OPEN terminal, unlocking and opening the door. The Occupied light turns off, signaling the restroom is vacant. The restroom can also be unlocked by opening the door from the inside, breaking the door contact circuit, causing the CX-WC17PS to reset and unlock the door.
Mounting
IMPORTANT: Do not apply power to the unit until you have fully read the instructions and made the required adjustments. The CX-WC17PS cabinet should be mounted in a clean, dry location out of direct contact with the elements.
Wiring the CX-WC17PS Series Restroom Control Kit
The CX-WC17PS comes pre-wired with the CX-33 to a labeled set of two terminal strips. This simplifies the wiring of the push buttons, eliminating the need to directly reference the wiring manual for termination points. A complete wiring diagram is adhered to the inside of the door for reference when wiring field devices to the kit.
The left terminal strip is used for power to the CX-33, the PUSH TO OPEN and PUSH TO LOCK column switch, the door position switch, and the Wet trigger. The right strip is for outputs to drive the strike (Relay 1), door operator (Relay 2), Occupied light (Relay 3), and provide VDC power for the door strike.
Once all field devices are wired to the CX-WC17PS, AC power can be wired in. IMPORTANT: Confirm the electrical panel’s breaker is off. Do not wire the primary terminals of the transformer until the secondary terminals are connected first. The supplied CX-TRX-5024 transformer will have its secondary terminals wired to the terminals on the top of the left terminal strip marked as AC. Next, wire the primary terminals to the AC feed to be used. Confirm your connections and apply power by turning on the electrical panel’s breaker.
Selecting a Mode
The CX-WC17PS has two restroom applications built in (Mode 7 & 8). The default mode is Mode 7 (normally unlocked). Determine the correct mode based on whether the restroom will be normally unlocked (Mode 7) or normally locked (Mode 8).

Mounting
IMPORTANT: Do not apply power to the unit until you have fully read the instructions and have made the required adjustments.
The CX-WC17PS cabinet should be mounted in a clean dry location out of direct contact with the elements.
Wiring the CX-WC17PS Series Restroom
Control Kit is as follows
- The CX-WC17PS comes from Camden with the CX-33 pre-wired to a labeled set of two terminal strips. This will make the wiring of the push buttons easier since the wiring manual will no longer need to be directly referenced for termination points. A complete wiring diagram is adhered to the inside of the door to provide a layout of the wiring as a reference when wiring the field devices to the kit.
- There are two terminal strips that mirror the locations on the CX-33. The left strip is used for power to the CX-33, the PUSH TO OPEN and PUSH TO LOCK column switch, the door position switch, and the Wet trigger. The right strip is for the outputs to drive the strike (Relay 1), door operator (Relay 2), Occupied light (Relay3), and to provide VDC power for the door strike.
- Once all field devices are wired to the CX-WC17PS then AC power can be wired in.
IMPORTANT: Confirm the electrical panels breaker you are going to be using is currently off. Do not wire the primary terminals of the transformer until the secondary terminals are connected first.
The supplied CX-TRX-5024 transformer will have its secondary terminals wired to the terminals on the top of the left terminal strip marked as “AC”. Next, wire the primary terminals to the AC feed to be used. Confirm your connections and apply power by turning on the electrical panels breaker.
Selecting a Mode
The CX-WC17PS has two restroom applications built in (Mode 7 & 8). The default mode for the CX-WC17PS is Mode 7 (normally unlocked).
Determining which mode is correct for you will be based on whether the restroom will be normally unlocked (Mode 7) or normally locked (Mode 8).
There are three LED displays that will allow you to see what mode you have selected when advancing through the modes. To change the mode of the CX-WC17PS simply press the MENU button once and use the UP button to advance to the desired mode.
Editing the Settings for a Mode
Camden builds in typical times for lock release and door operator activation and is ready to use without changing any parameters. If you need to change the timing or delay for an output, it can be done by pressing the “MENU” button within the mode you selected. Once the option is selected you can use the “UP or DOWN” buttons to select the timing needed. The first option (H & 1 flashing) will be how long relay 1 will be activated for (0-50 seconds). The second option (d & 1 flashing) will be how long to wait before activating relay 2 (0-15 seconds).
The third option (H & 2 flashing) will be how long relay 2 will be activated for (0-50 seconds). The fourth option (d & 2 flashing) will be how long to wait before activating relay 3 (0-15 seconds). The fifth option (H & 3 flashing) will be how long relay 3 will be activated for (0-50 seconds). See chart below.
Factory Reset (Defaulting the CX-33)
To return the CX-33 back to its factory default settings you will need to remove power, then hold down the “MENU” button while powering up the CX-33. Once started you will see the firmware version listed then a number “1” will be displayed. Reconnect your power and press the “MENU” button once then use the “UP” or “DOWN” button to advance to the desired mode.

CM-AF503 MOUNT INSTALLATION
Flush Mount Installation
With the back box already roughed-in, position the CM-AF503 so that the holes on the faceplate line-up with the screw holes on the back box and tighten with supplied #6-32 screws securely in place and completely tighten the #6-32 screws in place.
CM-7536 MOUNT INSTALLATION
Code Requirements: If installed according to these instructions the CM-7536 Column switch will meet the requirements of the California Building Code (Section 1117B.6, Date: 2009), and Section 3.8.3.3.17(b) of the Ontario Building Code.
Installation Steps
- Remove the assembled unit from packaging. The unit must be disassembled to be installed. To do this, remove the two small Phillips screws holding the top cap in place.
Remove the cap. Then, grasping the center (metal) actuation bar, pull vertically until the entire actuation bar is removed from the base unit. Set the actuation bar aside and protect from surface damage. - Determine the optimum height from the finished floor. See illustration (above) for common height. If utilizing an in-wall electrical box, center the backplate over the box, while lining up the top edge with your mark.
- Using a level, ensure the base unit is plumb and level, and mark the 4 mounting locations through the adjustable nylon inset screws onto the wall surface (if on drywall use a pencil, and if on concrete a narrow Sharpie or similar).
- a) Drill the wall at the 4 marked locations, and tap in the appropriate wall plugs. We supply both drywall and concrete anchors for the included #14 screws.
- If mounting the Column Switch to an aluminum post or framing section, drill and tap 4 holes for 1/4”-20 Stainless Steel Machine screws (also provided).
- If hardwiring: Use the supplied wirenuts to make your wire connections. Push excess wire into the back box and ensure cable is not exposed to the moving parts of the switch, or pinched between the back of the base unit and wall surface.
- nylon inset screws may be turned in or out to help plump up Column switch and adjust for wall irregularities. Check with a level. When satisfied, install the 4 mounting screws and tighten.
- If using Lazerpoint RF: The cap includes a snap-in compartment for our TX-9 transmitter. Place transmitter in the cap, with the wires hanging down and to the front of the cap. Using the supplied wirenuts, connect the two activating wires to the Column switch lead wires. Slide the battery and the extra wiring into the center (rear) channel provided. Do not slide all of the wire into the channel, so that the cap can hang off to one side while you perform the next step.
Using the supplied wirenuts, connect the two activating wires to the Column switch lead wires. Then, slide the battery and the extra wiring into the center (rear) channel provided. Do not slide all of the wire into the channel, so that the cap can hang off to one side while you perform the next step. - If using other RF: Using the supplied wirenuts, make your wire connections to the RF transmitter and tuck the transmitter and excess wire into the back box (or wall cavity). Ensure cable is not exposed to the moving parts of the switch, or pinched between the back of the base unit and the surface of the wall.
- Reassemble the (center) actuation bar into base unit. This is done by holding the hanger (located at the top center) vertically ‘up’ – then carefully sliding actuation bar down the length of the base unit, being careful not to bend or break the springs or internal switches.
When the bottom edge of the actuation bar reaches the height of the springs, use your free hand to tuck in the spring and switches under the actuation bar as it slides over them. When activation bar is approx 2” from bottom, position hanger so it falls into the slots provided at the top of the base unit. Slide actuation bar down until it rests on the hanger. Actuation bar should now move freely within the base unit. Test the operation of the switch before mounting the cap. - When satisfied with the switch operation, place cap back on top, and screw in the two small self-tapping Phillips screws.
