The Smallest Passive Infra Red Detector Series

,1752'8&7,21

The new CLIP series features the smallest and most elegant passive infrared
(PIR) detectors presently marketed. The series includes four models, CLIP-1
through CLIP-4, each with a different detection pattern.

False alarms caused by envi ronmental disturbances are vi rtually eliminated by a
combination of a light rejection f ilter and a low-noise pyroelectr ic detec tor. Al l four
CLIP models are equipped with a built -in two-st ep alternate polari ty pulse counter
for additional false-alarm protection. They have been designed to give reliable,
long-life, trouble-free service.

Four models are available:

• CLIP-1: W ide Angle • CLIP-3: Long Range

• CLIP-2: Pet Alley • CLIP-4: Curtain

There is a difference in shape between the four models (Figure 1). Detailed
specificat ions of the lenses employed in each model ar e given below. Detection
patterns of the CLI P -1, 2 and 3 are given in Figures 2, 3, and 4, respectively

Mounting alternatives and c over age patt er ns f or the CLI P- 4 sol i d cur t ain model are
shown in Figures 5 through 9.

The screw which att aches the front cover to the bas e is hidden
behind the miniature plastic nameplate at the front.

A. Removing the Front Cover

Remove the name-plate from
its recess by inserting the
blade of a small screwdriver
into one of the narrow gaps at
the sides, as s hown in Figure

10. Lever carefully s ide-ways,
until the name-plate arches
slightly out and snaps free (do
not let it fly free and get lost).
Retain the nameplate and
loosen the screw within the
inner shaft (see Figure 11).
Remove the cover carefully, t o
avoid dropping the screw.

B. Installing the Front Cover

Carefully fit the front cover onto the bas e, with the l ens in fr ont of
the sensor, insert the screw into its shaft and tighten it well.

Place the nameplate correctl y, and insert its left-si de tab into the
left-side groove. Pr ess the free edge of the namepl ate sideways
with your finger against the already seated left edge, until the
name plate arches sl ightly out ward. Then pres s the r ight s ide t ab
into the right s ide groove, making sure it snaps shut.

CLIP-2: 0.7 to 1.5 m (2.5 to 5 ft).
CLIP-4: Up to 3.6 m (12 ft).

intruder will cross the coverage pattern.

B. The maximum mounting height for CLIP -1 and CLIP-3 is 2. 4

m(8 ft). An acc urate adjust ment table – Tabl e 1 – serves as a
guide which provides the recommended vertical adjustment
with respect to detection range and mounti ng height.

C. When mounting the CLIP- 4 on the ceiling (see Figur e 6), the

ceiling height must not exceed 3.6 m (12 f t). The maximum
detection distance from the detector is 6 m (20 ft), and the
curtain width at t hat distance is 1. 3 m (4.5 ft).

D. Alternatively, t he pet alley model CLI P-2 may be ins talled in a

lens-up position. This will allow upward adjustment of the pet
alley, so that the lower part of the detection pattern will be
parallel to the floor.

E. CLIP is extremely immune to air turbulence and RFI.

However, to minimize possible false alarms, it is highly
recommended to avoid aiming the detector at heaters,
sources of li ght, or windows s ubjected to direc t sunlight. Also
avoid running wiring close to high power electrical cables.

F. Remove the front cover as instructed in Section 3, Para. A.

The CLIP-1 through CLIP-3 are des igned for mounting di rec tly on
walls (surface mounting). The regular wall mounting position is
with the lens down. The CLIP-4 solid curtain model may be
mounted in various positions on walls, ceilings and door frames
(Figures 5 through 9).

A. Select the mounting locati on so that the expected motion of an

G. Mount the base with the PCB intact at the location and height

selected for optimum coverage.
Use the two mounting knockouts at the back of the base

(Figure 12). Carefully sl ide the PCB up to gain access to the
bottom mounting knockout which is partly hidden.

Be sure to do so by grabbing the terminal block with two
fingers. Do not exert force on any other component!

H. Always install the unit on a firm and stable surface, and

assure that there are no moving objects within its field of view.

To route wires int o the detector, use the wi ring knock out located
at the top left of the unit base (Figure 12).

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. 13

and connect wires to the terminal block in the followi ng order.
A. Connect ter minals 5 and 6 – the tamper N.C. t erminals – t o a

normally closed 24-hour prot ective loop of the control panel.
The tamper contacts will open when t he cover is removed.

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

closed protect ive loop of t he control panel. The r elay cont acts
will open when motion is detected or dur ing power loss.

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

source, making sure that the polarity is correct. It is
mandatory that the power supply have battery backup.
Current drain of each CLIP PIR is approximately 12.5 mA.

The vertical adjust ment scale (pri nted on the lower lef t corner of
the PCB) and the plasti c pointer on the base indicate i n degrees
the approximate vertical angl e between the horizontal line of the
unit and the upper detect ion layer.

Table 1 gives the recommended scale adjustment for various
combinations of mounting height and coverage distance. The
scale permits fast, easy pattern adjustment from 0° to -12°
downward according to the installation height and the required
coverage range.

The sensors are preset to -4°. To change the vertical pattern
adjustment, remove the cover, hold the terminal block with two
fingers and sli de the PCB up or down to the desired angle.

Caution! CLIP is a delicate device due to its small size. Do
not exert force on any component other than the term inal
block. Failure to observe this may damage the detector.

The friction on the PCB should be enough to maintain t he new
position until you remount the front cover and tight en the screw.
Tightening the screw exerts additional pressure on the plastic
bushing which binds the p.c. board to the back cover.

Note: Since the beam width increases with distance from the
detector, an inverted (lens up) installation of the CLIP-2 (Pet Alley
model ) is advisable in c ertain cases. Set t he scale between -4°
and -6°, to obtain the des ired pet alley height.

The CLIP PIRs are equipped with a programmable puls e counter
which can be set to c ount 1 or 2 pulses wit h alternate polarity,
before activati ng the alarm relay. To set t he pulse counter, place
the jumper at the desired setting (ON or OFF).

ON (2 pulses). This s etting pr ovides impr oved protec tion against
false alarms c aus ed by all types of envir onmental dis t urbanc es . I t
should only be used in temper ature controlled locations (less than
30°C / 86°F).

OFF (1 Pulse). This set ting ac tuall y disabl es the pul se c ounter. It
should be used when it is necess ary to activate an alar m on the
first detected pulse, or in high security installations, when fast
"catch" performance is of greatest importance.

A. Apply 12 VDC power and allow five minutes for the unit to

warm up and stabilize.

B. Adjust the vertic al calibration angl e according to Table 1.
C. Set the pulse counter per Para. 3.5 above.
D. Walk-test the range and coverage area by walking slowly

across the field of view (i n opposite directions) and observe
the LED. The LED lights up whenever you enter or exit a
sensitive beam. Allow 5 seconds between each test for the
unit to stabilize.

E. After tes ti ng, the LED can be dis abled t o pr event unaut hori zed

persons from tracing the coverage pattern. To disable the
LED, remove the LED jumper from its position across t he 2
pins and install it on one of the pins to pr event losing it.

Note: The range and coverage ar ea should be checked at l east
once a year. To ass ure proper continuous functioning, the user
should be instruc ted to perform a walk test at the far end of the
coverage pattern t o assur e an alarm signal pr ior to each ti me the
alarm system is armed.
