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 efcient LED’s, which can be powered by 12 or 24
volts AC/DC.

Setting the Active Color (SW2)

Switch Position Description

1 ON = Green LED when Active

2 ON = Red LED when Active

3 ON = Blue LED when Active

Setting the Active Color (SW3)

Switch Position Description

1 ON = Green LED when IDLE

SW3

2 ON = Red LED when IDLE

3 ON = Blue LED when IDLE

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 colour will be changed locally via the push

switch, or remotely.

*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 .

Note: If all DIP switches are in the OFF position,
there will be no color illuminated. This allows for no

Idle color or no Active color.

Once all DIP switches are set, proceed to Section 3 – Installation

NOTE: If you will be including the optional Aura™ signage,
follow that product’s installation instructions before installing

Aura™ CM-55i Flush Mount Illuminated Enclosure Installation Instructions

1. Assemble the drywall clamp to the box as per diagram

1. Determine the wire access location and drill hole of

sufcient size, or use center knock-out plug.

2. Using the template, cut a hole in the drywall. Pull the

wiring through the access hole and push the box through
until the drywall clamp is on the back of the drywall.
Tighten the 8-32 screws until the box is rmly mounted.

3. Remove circuit board from package and locate into the
box Pull the wire through the hole in the centre of the
circuit board, and then secure with the two small self­tapping screws (provided).

4.a Wire as per diagram 2 (typical installation). Route the

switch wiring through opaque diffuser panel, and install
diffuser panel into box. It should t snuggly.

4.b If using a TX-9 transmitter to send the signal to an

RX-91 or RX-92 Receiver, attach the transmitter and wire
it before installing circuit board into the enclosure and
tting diffuser. See Diagram 3.

5. Screw in two #6-32 Allen-head screws (provided with
switch) into the threaded center inserts, then attach wires

to switch and install switch over screws. Using the Allen key

(provided), locate the screws and tighten (by hand only).

6. Re-connect power and test for proper operation.
