The Smallest Digital, Curtain-Type Infrared Detector

1. INTRODUCTION

1. INTRODUCTION

1. INTRODUCTION1. INTRODUCTION

The CLIP-4N is the smallest and most elegant curtain-pattern PIR
detector, designed for adjustment-free easy installation. Its function is
based on new, patented digital signal processing.

A new technology is used to include 3 different detectors in a single
case, each programmable for optimized performance at the specific
mounting location. This results in better catch performance and
virtually no false alarms.

Figure 1. CLIP -4N General View

Figure 2. Wall-Mount Curtain

The superiority of this detector over similar products is achieved by
applying an improved version of the patented True Motion
Recognition™ (TMR) algorithm. This advanced motion analysis
method allows the CLIP-4N to distinguish between the true motion of
the human body and any other disturbances that cause false alarms.

Detailed coverage patterns and mounting alternatives are given in
Figures 2 through 6 below.

3.1 Disassembly and Assembly

A. Removing the Front Cover

Insert a small screwdriver into
one of the narrow gaps at the
sides of the name plate (see Fig.

7). Lever carefully sideways, until
the name plate arches slightly out
and snaps free (do not let it fly
off). Retain the name plate and
loosen the screw within the inner
shaft (see Fig. 8). Remove the
cover carefully, to avoid dropping
the screw.

the base, with the lens in front of
the sensor, insert the screw into
its shaft and tighten it well.

Position the name plate correctly,
and insert one of the tabs into its
groove. Press the free edge
sideways against the already
seated edge, until the name plate
arches slightly outward. Then
force the other tab into its groove,
and let the name plate snap into

CLIP-4N DE1164

- (REV.

3, 1/14)

The CLIP-4N may be mounted in various positions on walls, ceilings
and door frames (see Figures 2 to 6).

CAUTION! To prevent false alarms caused by external temperature
changes and sudden air gusts, detectors should not be mounted on or
within window frames built into external walls. Moreover, it is
mandatory to seal the wiring entry holes with sealing compound such
as RTV, thus protecting the sensor from insects and air currents.

A. Select the mounting location so that the expected motion of an

intruder will cross the curtain beams.

B. When mounting on the ceiling (Figure 3), the ceiling height must

not exceed 3.6 m (12 ft). The maximum detection distance is 6 m
(20 ft), and the curtain width at that distance is 1.3 m (4.5 ft).

C. To minimize false alarms, it is

advisable to avoid aiming the
detector at heaters, sources
of light, or windows subjected
to direct sunlight. Also avoid
running wiring close to high
power electrical cables.

D. Remove the front cover as

instructed in Para. 3.1A.

E. Mount the base with the PCB

at the location and height that
gives optimum coverage. Use
the two mounting knock- outs
(see Fig. 9).

F. Always install the unit on a

firm and stable surface.

3.3 Wiring

To route wires into the detector, use the wiring knockout located at
the top left of the unit base (Figure 9). Since the knockout is angular,
the wiring may be inserted from behind the base or from the top, as
required for the particular installation. Refer to Fig. 10 and connect
wires to the terminal block in the following order:

A. Connect terminals 5 and 6

(the tamper N.C. terminals)
to a normally closed 24­hour protective loop of the
control panel. The tamper
contacts will open when the

.

B. Connect terminals 1 & 2 (the relay N.C. terminals) to a normally

closed protective loop of the control panel. The alarm output
circuit will open when motion is detected or during power loss.

C. Connect terminals 3 (–) and 4 (+) to a 10 to 16 Volt DC power

source (observe polarity). The power supply must have battery
backup. The current drain of each unit is approximately 12.5 mA.

D. It is advisable to seal all openings properly after installation.

Figure 10. Terminal Block Wiring

3.4 Setting the Coverage Range

A 3-pin jumper is used to select 3 coverage ranges for the curtain
beams (see Figure 11). The jumpers are shown as seen when the
detector is positioned with its terminal block up (refer to Figure 9).

Figure 11. Coverage Range Jumper Settings

The purpose of the range setting is is to ensure optimal signal
processing and high immunity against false alarms.

Mount the range jumper in the desired position and make sure that
the protected area is within the selected coverage range. Carry out a
walk test (refer to Para. 3.5 below) to verify proper performance.

3.5 Walk Testing

A. Apply 12 VDC and allow 1 minute for warming up and stabilizing.
B. Walk slowly across the curtain pattern (in opposite directions).

The LED lights whenever you enter or exit a curtain beam. Allow 5
seconds between each test for the unit to stabilize.

C. After testing, you may disable the LED to prevent unauthorized

tracing the coverage pattern. Remove the LED jumper from its
position across the 2 pins and install it on one of the pins.

Note: The range and coverage area should be checked at least
once a year. To assure proper continuous functioning, the user
should be instructed to perform a walk test at the far end of the
coverage pattern to assure an alarm signal prior to each time the
alarm system is armed.
