© 30SEP20 Clare Controls, LLC. 1 / 6 DOC ID – 1987 • Rev 03 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 2 / 6 DOC ID – 1987 • Rev 03 details on determining EOL resistance and if a sensor is N/O or N/C. •Install one of the included 4.7k Ω resistors on each zone that has a sensor attached. 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. See Figure 1: Wiring diagram on page 3. 4.Wire the tamper switch input. Notes •If using a tamper switch, wire it directly to the tamper terminals without the need for an EOL resistor. •If not using a tamper switch, simply connect a short piece of wire across the tamper input. 5.(Recommended) For any security system that is supervised, a battery should be connected to the CLR-C1- WD16. To provide an independent battery back up to the module, connect the included battery leads to a 12V, 5Ah lead acid rechargeable battery (battery not included). This battery type is common with most traditional hardwired security panels, otherwise it is recommended that you connect the module to an auxiliary 16-volt power supply with its own battery backup. Connect the power supply leads from the provided power supply to the terminals labeled +16.0V and GND on the wired input module. Note: The dashed wire is positive. 6.Plug the power supply into a 120VAC outlet. Note: Do not plug the module into a receptacle controlled by a switch. Programming The following instructions step through pairing the module to the ClareOne panel. Note: The CLR-C1-WD16 hardwired input module must be paired with the ClareOne panel to ensure proper system operation. To add the module to the panel: 1.Once the module is plugged in, open the front cover. 2.Put the ClareOne panel into sensor pairing mode, and then select "Wired Input Module" as the device type. For detailed programming instructions, refer to the ClareOne Wireless Security and Smart Home Panel User Manual (DOC ID 1871). 3.After setting the ClareOne panel to “Add mode”, press and hold the Pair button on the module for two seconds. All zone LEDs flash and then extinguish. The Pairing LED illuminates, indicating that the module is in “Pair Mode”. 4.Trip the tamper input, either by opening the tamper switch or removing the wire across the inputs. Once complete, close the tamper switch or replace the wire across the inputs. 5.Follow the ClareOne panel on-screen prompts to complete the process. Note: If you are not adding a battery backup (recommended), disable the low battery notifications by setting “Low Battery Detection" to Off under the Wired Input Module's sensor settings. To pair the zones to the module: Note: Each zone must be paired individually, one at a time. 1.Verify that the module’s Pairing LED is still illuminated. Note: If the LED is no longer illuminated, press and hold the Pair button for two seconds. 2.Put the ClareOne panel into sensor Pairing mode. 3.Trip the desired hardwired zone. Note: Once a zone is tripped, its module LED illuminates and remains lit until the module exits Pairing mode. 4.Follow the ClareOne panel on-screen prompts to complete the process. Note: If using a motion sensor, it is recommended to conn…

The difference is the result of tolerances in the measurement system that cannot be completely eliminated. To the extent that technology allows us, it has been our aim to minimize this error. Measurement uncertainty is a statistical expression of measurement error qualified by a probability distribution. A measurement uncertainty estimation has been performed for each test per our internal quality document QM205.4.6. The estimation is used to compare the measured result with its "true" or theoretically correct value. The expanded measurement uncertainty (K=2) can be found included as part of the applicable test description page. Our measurement data meets or exceeds the measurement uncertainty requirements of the applicable specification; therefore, the test data can be compared directly to the specification limit to determine compliance. The calculations for estimating measurement uncertainty are based upon ETSI TR 100 028 (or CISPR 16-4-2 as applicable), and are available upon request. The following table represents the Measurement Uncertainty (MU) budgets for each of the tests that may be conta…
