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.
2. SPECIFICATIONS
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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
4. INSTALLATION
NOTE: If you will be including the optional Aura™ signage,
follow that product’s installation instructions before
installing Aura™
1. Assemble the drywall clamp to the box as per diagram.

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 centre of circuit board, and
then secure with the two small self-tapping screws (provided).
4a. 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.
4b. 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),
