Aura™ CM-55i
Flush Mount Illuminated Enclosure
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Door Activation Devices
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Camden Aura™, Model CM-55i provide the Industry’s 1st
“Changing State” illuminated switch enclosures.
They offer eld selectable red/green/blue illumination,
activated directly by the switch or remotely by a relay* such as
our CX-33 or EMF-2, a time-clock or access control system.
User selectable features include a 3 Amp Form C relay, and
piezo speaker for audible annunciation, as well as control
over the idle and active LED colours. Another exclusive is the
ability to plug in a TX-9 RF transmitter, thereby requiring only 2
conductors be run for power (no batteries required).
The box is made of impact and ame resistant black ABS, and
compatible with any Camden CM-41, CM-45, or CM-46 series
switch. The illumination is provided by an array of super-bright
and energy ecient LED’s, which can be powered by 12 or 24
volts AC/DC.

3. SETUP
Switch SW1 contains a bank of 3 dipswitches.
Dipswitch # 3 turns the speaker on or off. Dipswitch # 2 toggles
operation of the relay, and # 1 allows you to choose whether
the color will be changed locally via the push switch or remotely.
* NOTE: The CX-12 Plus Multi-Function Relay may be used
with the Aura™, however an isolating relay must be wired in
parallel with the lock, and the relay’s dry contact output wired
into the CM-55i.
