ClareOne 16 Zone Wired Input Module

Installation Sheet

Last modified: 01/25/21

Part number: CLR-C1-WD16

Description

The ClareOne 16 Zone Wired Input Module allows the

takeover of hardwired security zones making them compatible

with the ClareOne panel. The input module has 16 wired zone

inputs each with LED status, a tamper switch input, a back-up

battery charging terminal, and 2 auxiliary power outputs for

powered sensors, capable of outputting 500mA @ 12VDC. The

module supports powered and unpowered sensors, including

contact zones (open/close), motion sensors, and glass break

detectors. Input zones 1 and 2 have an optional 2-minute

communication time delay which can be enabled to prevent

repeated signals from motion sensors being sent to the panel.

Once all sensors are wired to the module, the modules and

each zone can be paired to the ClareOne panel. Follow the

steps in this installation sheet for module and sensor

connection to the panel.

Notes

• This wireless module works with most wired sensors

that do not require a smoke loop.

• Sensors/zones must be in their normally closed state

when added to the module.

Important safety instructions

• Before you install this module, be sure to read, keep,

and follow all instructions.

• When using a supervised back up battery, if the

battery is low, replace it with a compatible lead-acid

rechargeable battery.

Installation

Use the included screws for installation. The included antennas

should be used regardless of location, for optimal RF

communication.

Note: If the module is being installed in a metal container or

equipment rack, the antennas must extend outside the

container to ensure that the RF communication is not

interrupted.

To install the module:

1. Carefully select the mounting location, verifying that the

module is vertical, and secure it in position using the

provided screws.

Note: The module should be within 1000 ft (304.8 m) of

the panel, however walls and other construction materials

may lessen that distance.

2. Attach each of the antennas to the module, one in each of

the ANT terminals on the top of the module.

Note: The antennas should be clear of obstructions and if

in a metal enclosure, should extend outside of it.

3. Wire the sensors/leads to the desired terminals marked

Zone 1 through 16.

Wiring notes:

• The module requires 4.7kΩ of end of line (EOL)

resistance on each zone. Some existing installations

may already have EOL resistors installed; it is

important to determine if this is the case and make

appropriate adjustments as needed. How the EOL

resistor is installed depends on if the sensor is

normally open (N/O) or normally closed (N/C). Refer

to Determining EOL resistance and sensor type for

Install the resistor in parallel for N/O and in series with N/C sensors. • For any powered sensors, such as motion sensors and glass break sensors, wire the Positive and Negative leads from the sensor to the “AUX” (+) and “GND” (-) terminals for device power.

Note: Complete the next step before adding another sensor. Determining EOL resistance and sensor type In some instances, it is not visually apparent what is physically connected to a zone in terms of any pre-existing EOL resistors and whether the sensor is N/O or N/C. Use a multimeter to learn this information. 1. Enter Pairing Mode. 2.
