DOOR FRAME: CM-324N
1a. If mounting directly in a 1” wide aluminum jamb, make a
cutout in the door frame at the intended location as per
Diagram 2.
Drill and tap two mounting holes as shown.
1b. If mounting the unit in CM-23d deep jamb box, rst mount
the jamb box according to the instructions packaged with the

WIRING
CAUTION: Do not apply power to the unit until all secondary
wiring is complete, and dip-switches have been set.
The CM-324 can be powered from 12 or 24 volts, AC or DC.
Connect the two Red wires, (non-polarity sensitive) to the
power source.
The output is a form C relay. N.O is Blue, N.C. is Violet, and
Common is Green. Selecting the correct output is also
dependant on the operating mode chosen (See Section 4).
Most applications will utilize the N.O. and Common terminals.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
4. APPLICATIONS & SET-UP APPLICATIONS
Switch 1 – Normal Mode/Fail-Safe Mode
Choose Normal Mode if you wish the N.O. contact to remain
open if the power were to fail. This is the factory setting.
Choose Fail-safe Mode if you wish the contacts to close upon
power fail. Move the Dip switch to OFF position, and wire your
device to the Common and N.C. wires.
Switch 2 – Time Delay Mode/Toggle Mode
Factory setting is Time Delay (Sense) mode, whereby the
contact closure will be adjustable from 1 – 5 seconds using the
Time Delay Potentiometer.
In Toggle (or Switch) mode, when the CM-324 is activated
once, the relay will stay energized until it is activated once
again (adjustable timer is inactive in this mode).
Switch 3 – LED On/LED Off
This switch disables the LED, should this feature be desired.
Factory setting is ON. Once the Dip switches have been set, and
the unit is installed in the frame or enclosure, apply power to
the unit and observe operation.
Set both potentiometers to minimum setting initially
(fully counter-clockwise). See Diagram 3 for location.
Adjust the range potentiometer by turning
the pot in a clockwise manner, and passing your hand in front of
the unit. Rotate the pot until the desired range is obtained.
See Diagram 5 for patterns.
Next, adjust the time delay potentiometer by turning clockwise
until the desired time delay is obtained. It is sometimes
benecial to leave this adjustment set to minimum and utilize
the time delay on the door operator, if present.
