CX-EMF-2 / EMF-2m 

Multi-Function Timer

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Camden's EMF-2 (EMF-2m or EMF-2ABM) is a microprocessor controlled multi-function relay. This all-in-one design replaces our 
previous models EMF-1, EMF-1m or EMF-1ABM. The EMF-2 is designed for specialized applications such as ABM vestibules, one or two-
door restrooms in shared-use facilities, 2 – 5 door airlocks, and secure man-traps. 
Dip switches let you choose the mode, and the unit automatically programs the inputs, outputs and potentiometers accordingly. 
Removable terminal strips simplify wiring chores, and all adjustments are conveniently located on one end of the case. 

IMPORTANT:

 

Do not apply power to the unit until you have read the instructions fully and made the required adjustments. 

2. INSTALLATION

Mounting

EMF-2: Double-sided foam tape or (2) #6 screws
EMF-2M & EMF-2ABM: 4 x Metal screws & 
anchors (provided)

Enclosure

EMF-2: Formed Plastic Housing 
EMF-2M & EMF-2ABM: Beige Metal Cabinet

Dimensions

EMF-2

7” H x 3” W x 7/8” D 
(178mm x 76mm x 22mm)

EMF-2M & 
EMF-1ABM

12” H x 7-1/2” W x 3-3/4” D 
(305mm x 191mm x 95mm)

In addition to the above, Model EMF-2 ABM includes a lockable 
metal cabinet to house the relay. The cabinet is equipped with two 
lighted push-switches - on to turn the relay power on or off, and the 
other to control the DAY/NITE function.

Mounting

The EMF-2 should be mounted in a clean dry location out of direct 
contact with the elements.  Suitable locations include inside a 
metal box, operator header, or above a false ceiling. 

If placed on top of a header, ensure that unauthorized personnel 
cannot tamper with the unit.

If used in an Airlock or Mantrap application, the relay may be 
located at either door location, or, centrally to all doors. 

You must bring wiring from all door actuators to this unit 
(as well as the lock, operator, and door contact outputs 
as appropriate).

The EMF-2 is also available in an attractive lockable metal cabinet 
version (EMF-2m or EMF-2ABM), suitable for wall mounting. 

Wiring

Wiring of this unit is dependant on the mode desired. Select 
your intended application, then proceed to the section indicated.  

Note: 

Do not wire Safety devices to the EMF-2.  If installed, wire 

your safety device directly to the operator control box. 

IMPORTANT:  Changes to the Mode and Out2 do not take 
effect until a power reset.  It is therefore best to make these 
adjustments with the power turned off! 

NOTE:  

We highly recommend the use of a regulated power 

supply when powering equipment for barrier-free washroom 
applications where the strike power may be maintained from 
a few minutes to many hours.  We offer a low-cost board-only 
regulated power supply - CX-PS13 V2, which in turn can be 
powered from a small 24VAC transformer, (or the auxiliary power 
on the door control) and will supply clean, filtered & regulated 
24 VDC power for the strike and EMF-2.
