Description 

The Clare Controls CH-OS-L controller provides all device 

management services to AppModules, supports all Clare user 

interface services, and acts as the gateway to the ClareCloud 

for system updates. The controller comes complete with the 

ClareOS and all AppModules preloaded. 

Note:

 Models, and their appearance, are subject to change 

without any prior notice. 

Unpacking the CH-OS-L 

Remove all contents from the CH-OS-L packaging and ensure 

you have the following items. 

  CH-OS-L device   

  Power supply 

 

  USB to Ethernet adapter (dongle) for RJ-45 connection 

  Mounting bracket 

Record the device’s UUID address (labeled on the bottom of 

the device) on the line below. Your system programmer will 

need this information to configure the CH-OS-L device. 
UUID address:   __________________________________         
Do not use this address for more than one account.  

WARNING: 

Do not power on the CH-OS-L until installation is 

complete. Failure to do so may result in bodily injury and/or 

damage to the equipment. 

Installation 

The CH-OS-L can be set on a rack shelf, or mounted in a 

structured panel, along with a CS-iMR multi-room audio 

device. Use the mounting bracket (included) to mount the  

CH-OS-L in the panel.  

To mount the CH-OS-L in the structured panel: 

1.  Place the mounting bracket inside the structured panel, 

under the CS-iMR, ensuring that you allow at least .5 in 

(1.3 cm) of clearance space at sides and bottom of the 

bracket, and at least 2 in. (5.1 cm) at the top. See  

Figure 1. 

2.  Using four 6-20 × 3/8 in. self-drilling screws (not included) 

and a power drill, securely attach the mounting bracket to 

the back of the panel box. See Figure 1. 

3.  Slide the CH-OS-L device into the mounting bracket with 

the rear connections facing up. Make sure the device is 

flush with the bracket and fits securely. See Figure 2. 

4.  Plug one end of the power cord into the power input port 

on the rear of the CH-OS-L. See Figure 2, item 5. 

5.  Run the power cord between the CH-OS-L and the panel’s 

sidewall, and then place the AC power adapter under the 

mounting bracket. See Figure 2, item 4. 

6.  Insert the other end of the power cord though the bottom 

of the panel box (where the hole was cut out), and then 

plug it into the electrical outlet. See Figure 2, item 3. 

Note:

 Do not turn on power to the CH-OS-L until you have 

made all your network device connections. See 

“Connecting devices to the CH-OS-L” on page 2.
