Camden CM-RQE-70 Request-to-Exit Sensor is a passive infrared Self-Test

(PIR) detector designed for interior use. This device is UL listed as When power is first applied to the CM-RQE70, the sensor will

Class I for UL Canada under ULC-S319 when it is connected to a UL functions are within acceptable operating parameters. The self-test
approved access control system. checks the input voltage, switch operation and sensor function.
If the sensor passes all tests, there is a single beep and normal
operation begins. If the sensor fails any of the tests, the unit will
provide a series of audible beeps indicating the failure. This is take
approximately 30 seconds.

Post-Test Failure Beeps

If the sensor fails a test, the unit will perform one or more short

the relays remain de-energized normally. The relays will energize
when a person is in the field of view (normal operation). The relays
remain de-energized during a power outage, therefore, keeping the
controlled device secure.
