Camden CM-AF500 Single Gang LED Illuminated Annunciator

Overview

The CM-AF500 is a single gang LED illuminated annunciator for access control and electrified lock systems. It delivers high-visibility status indication—text and graphics remain invisible until the LED illuminates, preventing tailgating cues or credential bypass attempts. Operates at 30VDC, integrating directly into standard access control power supplies and strike circuits. Weatherproof and vandal-resistant construction suits both indoor lobbies and semi-exposed entry points (vestibules, covered loading areas). Comes with 6 pre-printed message labels: Occupied/Occupé (Red & Green), Occupied (Red), Armed (Red), Locked (Red), and Unlocked (Green).

Compatibility

The CM-AF500 is field-selectable for 12/30V AC/DC operation, making it compatible with most low-voltage access control systems—automatic door operators, badge readers, and relay-triggered strike circuits. Single gang form factor mounts flush in standard electrical boxes alongside push buttons and card readers. If your installation requires a curved profile to match Column™ switches or a sounder for audible alerts, consider the CM-AF503 (curved, horizontal) or CM-AF501SO (with adjustable 85dB sounder).

Installation Notes

Mount in a single gang electrical box using standard wall-mount hardware. Bright LED output is visible in daylight and dim corridors alike. When not illuminated, the annunciator face remains dark—text and graphics are not legible. This invisible-when-off design prevents visual cues that could compromise security in controlled-access zones. Ensure 30VDC supply is clean and stable; voltage drops below 24V will dim the LED noticeably.
