The Smallest Passive Infra Red Detector Series Installation Instructions
,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 environmental disturbances are virtually eliminated by a
combination of a light rejection filter and a low-noise pyroelectric detector. All four
CLIP models are equipped with a built-in two-step alternate polarity 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: Wide 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
specifications of the lenses employed in each model are given below. Detection
patterns of the CLIP-1, 2 and 3 are given in Figures 2, 3, and 4, respectively
Mounting alternatives and coverage patterns for the CLIP-4 solid curtain model are
shown in Figures 5 through 9.

The screw which attaches the front cover to the base 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 shown in Figure
10. Lever carefully side-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, to
avoid dropping the screw.
Figure 10. Disassembly of the
CLIP PIR
B. Installing the Front Cover
Carefully fit the front cover onto the base, with the lens in front of
the sensor, insert the screw into its shaft and tighten it well.
Place the nameplate correctly, and insert its left-side tab into the
left-side groove. Press the free edge of the nameplate sideways
with your finger against the already seated left edge, until the
name plate arches slightly outward. Then press the right side tab
into the right side groove, making sure it snaps shut.

The CLIP-1 through CLIP-3 are designed for mounting directly 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 location so that the expected motion of an
intruder will cross the coverage pattern.
B. The maximum mounting height for CLIP -1 and CLIP-3 is 2.4
m(8 ft). An accurate adjustment table – Table 1 – serves as a
guide which provides the recommended vertical adjustment
with respect to detection range and mounting height.
C. When mounting the CLIP-4 on the ceiling (see Figure 6), the
ceiling height must not exceed 3.6 m (12 ft). The maximum
detection distance from the detector is 6 m (20 ft), and the
curtain width at that distance is 1.3 m (4.5 ft).
D. Alternatively, the pet alley model CLIP-2 may be installed 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.
Figure 12. Inside the CLIP
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 light, or windows subjected to direct sunlight. Also
avoid running wiring close to high power electrical cables.
F. Remove the front cover as instructed in Section 3, Para. A.
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 slide 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 into the detector, use the wiring knockout 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
Figure 13. Terminal Block Wiring
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 24-hour protective loop of the control panel.
The tamper contacts will open when the cover is removed.
B. Connect terminals 1,2 (the relay N.C. terminals) to a normally
closed protective loop of the control panel. The relay contacts
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, 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 adjustment scale (printed on the lower left corner of
the PCB) and the plastic pointer on the base indicate in degrees
the approximate vertical angle between the horizontal line of the
unit and the upper detection 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 slide 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 terminal
block. Failure to observe this may damage the detector.
The friction on the PCB should be enough to maintain the new
position until you remount the front cover and tighten 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 certain cases. Set the scale between -4°
and -6°, to obtain the desired pet alley height.

The CLIP PIRs are equipped with a programmable pulse counter
which can be set to count 1 or 2 pulses with alternate polarity,
before activating the alarm relay. To set the pulse counter, place
the jumper at the desired setting (ON or OFF).
ON (2 pulses). This setting provides improved protection against
false alarms caused by all types of environmental disturbances. It
should only be used in temperature controlled locations (less than
30°C / 86°F).
OFF (1 Pulse). This setting actually disables the pulse counter. It
should be used when it is necessary to activate an alarm on the
first detected pulse, or in high security installations, when fast
"catch" performance is of greatest importance.
:DON7HVWLQJ
A. Apply 12 VDC power and allow five minutes for the unit to
warm up and stabilize.
B. Adjust the vertical calibration angle 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 (in 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 testing, the LED can be disabled to prevent unauthorized
persons from tracing the coverage pattern. To disable the
LED, remove the LED jumper from its position across the 2
pins and install it on one of the pins to prevent losing it.
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.
