General Description
Camden Aura™, Model CM-55i provide the Industry’s 1st
“Changing State” illuminated switch enclosures.
They offer eld selectable blue/green/red 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 efcient LED’s, which can be powered by 12 or 24
volts AC/DC.

*Note: The CX-22 Washroom 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 .
