Issue No. 012
Spring 2015
Greetings!

Finally, the smell of spring is in the air. I am sure you are as glad as we are to see the end of winter! What a long, cold, snowy time! As we enjoy some improved weather, we encourage you to take advantage of some new opportunities in business, too.

 

We've been working hard to bring you new products, solutions and value! This newsletter highlights how we've introduced a new industry benchmark in two door access control systems with our MProx2™. Check out our new door prop alarms and the incredible CM-120TX battery powered wireless keypad. And we've added even more great features to our single gang LED annunciator - without raising the price. If you'll be at ISC West, we will be introducing a wide range of Camden products for the first time! This includes a 'universal' electric strike, 'designer series' Wiegand keypads and prox readers, as well as biometric readers.
Why 'Camden Tough' should be the only switches you Install!
Do you believe that all switches are the same or that the differences don't matter? We believe that even small differences in design can have a big effect on the switch performance, durability, and ease of installation.
- differences that directly affect your success and profitability! When you also consider that activation switches are used by your customers every day, doesn't it make sense to install a brand that is as concerned about your reputation as you are?
Camden switches offer
:
  • Highest Contact Ratings: Heavy duty 4, 6 or 10 amp. contacts
  • 'Agency Approved': UL294 and UL61058-1 compliant models
  • Easier Installation: Wiring terminals and no-cost tamperproof screws and driver
  • Thicker Face Plates: Full 1/4" cast aluminum or heavy gauge stainless steel
  • Better Buttons: Flame and impact/vandal resistant polycarbonate and metal
  • Longer Lasting Graphics: Engraved and paint filled symbols and text
  • Complete Solutions: Full selection of economical mounting boxes for virtually any application

And because we believe in the manufacturing quality of our 'Camden Tough' switches, we are able to offer a three year warranty that blows away the competition. If shown to be a manufacturer's defect we will replace on a '2 for 1' basis!
