      Installation 

      Only qualified installation technicians should install the panel. Clare Controls does not assume responsibility for damages caused by improper installation, connection to the network, or use of the device.

      Installation options

      The ClareOne panel can be installed using a desktop stand or a wall mount. See the full manual for power supply options, ClareOne Wireless Security and Smart Home Panel User Manual (DOC ID 1871).

      Installation option 1: Desktop

      Option 1 uses the included kickstand.

      To desktop mount the panel:

      1. Remove the panel’s back plate by pressing down on the 2 tabs and pulling the back plate outward, exposing the battery.

      2. Route the power supply cable through the hole in the bottom right side of the kickstand.

      3. Verify that the battery is plugged in, and then attach the power supply to the panel.
        Note: For other power options, see Power supply options.

      4. Attach the panel’s back cover, gently pressing it into place. Verify that the tabs are both fully pressed in.
      5. Press the sides of the back plate against the back of the panel, making sure there is no gap between the back plate and the panel.

      6. Align the mounting holes in the back of the panel with the stubs on the kickstand, and then press kickstand to the rear of the panel.
      7. Slide the panel down, locking it into place.

      8. Plug the opposite end of the power supply into an electrical outlet.
        The panel automatically powers up.
        Note: Do not connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch.
      9. (Optional) The viewing angle of the panel can be adjusted by pressing the kickstand tab and sliding the base up or down to the desired position, locking it into place.

           

        Installation option 2: Wall mounted

        Option 2 uses the included wall mount bracket. The recommended height for mounting the panel is 48 in. +/- 12 in. based on the comfort level of the end user.

        To wall mount the panel:

        1. Select a location for the panel that is close to an outlet, and then run a connection from the 12VDC supply to the selected installation location.
        2. Place the mounting bracket against the selected wall location or gang box, ensuring that the power cable goes through the center of the mounting bracket.
          Note: The cable does not need to go through the mounting bracket if the power cable does not run through the wall.
        3. Using included screws securely attach the bracket to the gang box or wall. See the methods below.


          a. Gang box: Using 2 of the included machine screws, secure the bracket to the existing gang box.

          b. Mounting hole: Mark the locations of the 4 holes in the wall mount bracket on the wall, be sure to keep the bracket level when marking the locations. Using a power drill with 5 mm bit, drill a hole at each location. Insert one of the included wall anchors into each of the 4 holes. Match the wall mount bracket to the anchor locations. Secure the panel to the wall using the provided screws in the 4 holes.
        4. Remove the panel’s back plate by pressing down on the 2 tabs and pulling the back plate outward.

        5. Verify that the battery is plugged in, and then attach the power supply to the panel.

        6. Attach the panel’s back cover, gently pressing it into place.
        7. Press the sides of the back plate against the back of the panel, making sure there is no gap between the back plate and the panel.

        8. Press the panel onto the mounting bracket, and then slide the panel down until it locks into place.

        9. Plug the opposite end of the power supply into an electrical outlet.
          The panel automatically powers up.
          Note: Do not connect to a receptacle controlled by a switch.
