The CL-4WB is a digital, wireless multi-function keypad unit,
especially suit able for electronic security syst ems. It is designed
to transmit a radio frequency (RF) signal to a remote r eceiver as
soon as the user enters a pre-pr ogrammed, 4-di git sec ret acc ess
code.
Applications of the CL-4WB include: remote arming and
disarming of c ontrol panels, operating doors , gates, etc. The unit
can be easily incorporated into virtually any new or existing
Visonic Ltd. wireless system.
The transmitted RF signal consists of two digital codes - a
SYSTEM code and a CHANNEL code, which perform the
following functi ons:

• The SYSTEM code serves as a password – the remote
receiver ignores RF signals other than the correctly coded
ones. System code matching between the CL-4WB and the
remote receiver is obtained by selecti ng identical settings on
an 8-position CODE swi t ch i n bot h unit s. I t i s poss i ble t o sel ec t
256 different system codes (para. 3.3).

• The CHANNEL code determines which one of the remote
receiver

outputs will be activated by the

transmitted RF s ignal. This code
is selected by presetting the
CL-4WB's 4-position
"CHANNEL" selector (par a. 3.4).
"Channel 2" code is dedic ated to
tamper and PANIC alarms (a
PANIC alarm signal is
transmitted when the k and #
keys are pressed

simultaneously).
The CL-4WB is powered by a 9-volt
alkaline or lithi um battery. Its pl astic
housing is suitable for wall
mounting and opens by removal of
a single screw. A short antenna
wire extends from the bot tom of t he
case.

ELECTRICAL
Voltage: 9-volt alkaline or lithi um battery.

Security Code: 4-digits, jumper sel ectable - 5040 dif ferent code

combinations.
Code Combinations: 5040 (t he codes are not lost due to power
failures).

Automatic Reset: 5 seconds
Panic Output: Activat ed by simultaneousl y pressing the ∗ and #

keys. Channel code 2 is transmitted as the panic signal, while
these keys remain depressed.
Tamper Switch: Normal ly closed. Channel code 2 is trans mitted
as a tamper signal, when the keypad as sembl y is separ ated f rom
the back cover.
Visual Indications: Red LED lights during transmission,
provided that the battery volt age exceeds 7.5 Volt s. The indi cator
is inhibited during trans mission of the tamper and panic signal s

The CL-4WB is triggered int o transmission by a 4-digit s ecurity
code entered by the user on its fr ont panel keypad. The instal ler
programs the selected security code by linking a few on-board
terminals. This pr ogramming met hod ensures that t he code is not
lost due to power fai lures or electrical dis turbances.

To initiate trans mission, the user is required to enter the correct
(programmed) four di git code in proper s equence within about 5
seconds.

Should the user take more time than permitted, or if the user
makes an error whil e enteri ng a code, an automat ic res et r esul ts,
requiring the user to wait a f ew seconds and t hen repeat entry of
the security code. This feature virtually prevents unauthorized

people from defeating the code by randomly pressing keypad
buttons.

Once the correc t code has been entered, the keypad's transmitter
operates for 2 - 4 seconds. A front panel LED lights during
transmission, indicating the battery status (provided that the
battery voltage is above 7.5 VDC). If the LED does not light
during transmis sion, the battery must be replaced immediately.

Note: For security reasons, the LED does not light when the
tamper alarm or panic alarm are transmitted (Channel 2).

CAUTION: The keypad is only for indoor use

A. Remove the screw

from the front of the
unit. Punch out at
least two diagonally
opposed mounting
knockouts. Mark the

wall and drill holes

as required. Use wall
inserts and scr ews to
mount the unit fir m ly.

B. Select the SYSTEM

code (para. 3.3).

C. Select the CHANNEL

code (para. 3.4).

D. Program the user's

secret access code
(para. 3.5).

E. Snap the battery clip

onto the 9-volt battery terminal s .For long life, use alkaline or
lithium battery.

F. Test the unit as ins tructed in para. 3.6.

The CL-4WB has an 8-position DIP switch, marked CODE, as
shown in Figures 1 and 2. Each switc h (1 through 8) may be set
to ON or OFF, to create a uni que digital sys tem code t hat diff ers
from that used by other wireless sys tems that may be operating
in the vicinit y.

Use a ball-point pen to
set each switch lever to
match the system code
setting of the remote
companion receiver.

Note: The code combination 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 ON / 1, 3, 8 OFF is a
factory test code which must not be us ed. Also avoid codes which
are often used: all k eys ON, all keys OFF or alternating ON/OFF
settings.

CHANNEL, as shown in Figures 1 and 3. The channel code
transmitted by the CL-4WB is selected by switching the
corresponding c hannel key (1, 2, 3 or 4) to ON.
Select the channel acc ording to the remot e receiver's output you
wish to be activated by the CL-4WB.

Note: Since channel 2 code is transmitted automatically upon
occurrence of Tamper and Panic alarms, refr ain from selec ting it
for other purposes.

It is also possible to select
more than one channel for
simultaneous transmission,
which will activate the
corresponding channel
outputs at the receiver.

Programming of the user's 4-digit security access code is
accomplished by linki ng pins in ROW I to the appropri ate pins in
ROW III (the digits row) in accordance with the desir ed code ( s ee
Figure 4). Use the 4 wires supplied with t he keypad.
Note: Each unprogrammed pin i n ROW III (pins 0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 in
Figure 4) must be bridged to the pin just above it in ROW II, using
the jumpers supplied with the keypad. For convenience, it is
preferable to carry out this bridging operation first and then
connect row I pins to the remaining row III pins in the correct
order.

A. Carefully position the keypad assembly over the rear cover.

Secure both halves of the case together using the screw.

B. Have someone observe the remote receiver and report its

response to you during the following steps.

C. Operate the t ransmitter by entering t he correct acces s code.

Verify that the front panel LED lights, indicati ng good battery
condition.

D. The receiver LED should light, indicating detection of the

transmitted RF s ignal.

E. Verify activat ion of the c hannel output r elay(s) at the recei ver,

in accordance with the setting of the CL-4WB's CHANNEL
switch.

F. While monitoring receiver channel 2 (tamper and PANIC

channel), separate the CL-4WB keypad assembly from the
back cover, t hus activating the tamper switch. Verif y that the
tamper signal is received c ontinuously at receiver channel 2,
as long as the tamper switch remains activated.

G. Replace the CL-4WB keypad assembl y over the back cover

and attach with the screw. Push the round plastic cap
supplied in the package over the head of the screw. Verify
that channel 2 output at the receiver r estores (r everts to the
standby state).

H. While monitoring receiver channel 2 (tamper and PANIC

channel), simultaneously press the k and # keys, thus
activating the PANIC alarm. Verify that the PANIC signal is
received continuously at receiver channel 2, as long as the
two keys remain pr essed.

Visonic Ltd. wi reless syst ems are reliable and are t ested to high
standards. However, due to t heir low t rans mi tt ing power ( r equir ed
by FCC regulations), there are some lim itations to be c onsidered:
A. Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or

near their operating frequencies, regardless of the code
selected.

B. A receiver can only respond to one transmitted signal at a

time.

C. W ireless equipment should be tes ted regularly (at leas t once

a week) to determine if there are s ources of inter ference and
to protect against faults.

WARNING! Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void t he
