Description
The ClareOne Outdoor Door Gate Sensor is a supervised,
wireless sensor that detects openings and closings. The
unique design allows mounting the device outdoors. The
sensor and magnet are mounted using screws (included) or
straps to secure to a post.
When activated, the sensor transmits an open (trip) or close
(restore) signal to the panel. These are the signals the unit
provides: supervisory, tamper and low battery (as needed).
The sensor is powered by (2) replaceable 3-VDC, lithium
coin-cell batteries.
Installation Guidelines
• Mounting the sensor on metal can affect the transmitting
range and magnet gap performance. Therefore, test the
sensor from the desired location using the installer sensor
test, before permanently mounting it.
• Mount the sensor on a non-moving frame or post, allowing
the magnet to move activating the sensor.
• Mount sensors at least 5 inches above the ground to avoid
damaging them.
• The sensors can be mounted to either wood or metallic
surfaces.
• The magnet should be mounted within 1.5” from the
sensor. Desired operation should be checked before
permanent installation. Based on the magnet mounting
spacing, the direction of operation, and the mounting
surface material (wood or metal); the gap for opening could
vary between 1” and 1.75”.
• After mounting the sensor, re-test the sensor using the
procedure in the section “Testing the Sensor.”
Mounting the Sensor
Mount the sensor using the supplied mounting screws for
permanent mounting installations.
Mounting Screws
1. Remove the cover screw from the sensor.
2. Mount the magnet into the desired location using the
supplied screws, making sure the alignment mark lines up
with the sensor mark.
3. Mount the sensor with 3 mounting screws.
4. Mount the magnet with 2 mounting screws.
Using Mounting Straps
1. The sensor case is designed for strap mounting. Using a
plastic tie strap wrap the strap around the mounting post
and through the sensor.
2. The magnet can also be strap mounted by running a
strap through the slot in the magnet housing
External Contact
An external contact can be connected to the transmitter by
feeding contact wiring through the rubber grommet.
Note: Only one set of contacts can be used at one time the
internal or external, for added security the internal reed
switch can be cut.
Programming
The following steps describe the general guidelines for
programming the sensor into panel memory. Refer to the
specific panel’s documentation for complete programming
details.
1. Set the panel to the program mode.
2. Proceed to the SENSORS menu.
3. Select the appropriate sensor group and sensor number
assignments.
4. When prompted by the panel to trip the sensor for
learning, remove the sensor cover and if present pull the
battery pull tabs. The system should acknowledge learning
the sensor by touchpad display and/or audio (depending on
the panel).
5. Exit program mode.
Testing the Sensor
1. Set the panel to the sensor test mode.
2. Take the sensor and magnet to the desired mounting
location, making sure to line up their alignment marks with
each other. Trip the sensor by pulling the magnet away
from the sensor.
3. Monitor the system after tripping the sensor. Refer to the
specific panel documentation for interpretation of the results
to ensure desired signal strength is achieved.
Note: Make sure straps are tight to
prevent the sensor from sliding away
from the magnet.
Note: Make sure straps are tight to
prevent the sensor from sliding away
from the magnet.
Note: Do not exceed 50ft when
wiring to an external contact.
