1. 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 
also provides annunciation by including an Occupied light. The 
designation of “PS” in the part number reflects that this kit now 
comes pre-wired in a metal enclosure with a power supply which 
is ready to accept all field wiring.
The CX-WC17PS Restroom Control Kit is controlled by Camden’s 
advanced relay logic controller CX-33. The CX-WC17PS has two 
modes. One is Mode 7 for a normally unlocked restroom and 
the other is Mode 8 for a normally locked restroom. In Mode 7 
when the exterior PUSH to OPEN column switch is pressed it will 
trigger the door operator to open the door. In Mode 8 when the 
exterior PUSH to OPEN column switch is pressed it will unlock the 
strike and trigger the door operator to open the door. Once in 
the restroom and the PUSH to LOCK column switch is pressed, it 
will keep the door locked in either mode, and disable the exterior 
PUSH to OPEN column switch, as well as, providing annunciation 
with an Occupied light. When exiting the restroom, you can 
either press the inside PUSH to OPEN column switch to unlock 
the door and open the door or you can push the crash bar, 
paddle or turn the knobset to break the door contact circuit, 
which will also unlock the door and reset the system. The 
Occupied light will turn off, signaling the restroom is available.

Operation at a Glance

When the exterior PUSH TO OPEN column switch is pressed it 
will send a momentary closure to the outside PUSH TO OPEN 
terminal on the CX-WC17PS allowing the door to swing open. 
When the interior PUSH TO LOCK column switch is pressed it 
will send a momentary closure to the to inside PUSH TO LOCK 
terminal on the CX-WC17PS causing it to lock the restroom and 
turn on the Occupied light. When the inside PUSH TO OPEN 
column switch is pressed it will send a momentary closure to 
the inside PUSH TO OPEN terminal on the CX-WC17PS causing it 
to unlock the door and open it. The Occupied light will now turn 
off signalling the restroom is now vacant. The restroom can also 
be unlocked by opening the door from the inside which will break 
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 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.  
Fully test the operation of the CX-WC11PS for proper functionality.
