Description
The Clare Controls CLIQ.connect is an add-on module for the
CLIQ.host that doubles the number of available I/O ports. The
CLIQ.connect uses auto-discovery technology that makes the
units seamlessly interoperable and lets you scale your project
with near-zero configuration. You can stack up to three
CLIQ.connect modules onto one CLIQ controller. This, coupled
with the modules’ built-in ease of interconnection, makes the
CLIQ controller an ideal controller for a wide range of projects.
WARNING:
Any changes or modifications made to this product
not expressly authorized by the manufacturer could void the
user’s right to operate this device.
Unpacking the CLIQ.connect
Remove all contents from the CLIQ.connect packaging and
ensure you have the following items.
1 CLIQ.connect device
3 terminal connectors
1 terminal block jig
2 RJ12 to DB-9 cables
6 IR emitters
4 rubber foot covers
Installation
Attaching the CLIQ.connect to a CLIQ controller
The CLIQ.connect attaches to a CLIQ controller without any
screws, external jumpers, or wires. Magnets hold the
CLIQ.connect securely to the CLIQ controller. You can connect
up to three CLIQ.connect devices to a single CLIQ controller.
To attach the CLIQ.connect to the CLIQ controller:
1. Place the CLIQ controller on a level surface.
2. Using a small screwdriver, carefully remove the cloud-
shaped dust cover from the top of the CLIQ controller to
expose the female ClareBus. Next remove the ClareBus
cover from the bottom of the CLIQ.connect.
3. Align the CLIQ.connect over the top of the CLIQ controller
so that the male ClareBus on the bottom of the
CLIQ.connect is touching the female ClareBus on the top
of the CLIQ controller. See Figure 1.
Note:
When connecting to a CLIQ.express controller, you
must attach the CLIQ connect under the CLIQ.express.
4. Push down on the CLIQ.connect until it is properly seated
on the CLIQ controller.
To attach additional CLIQ.connects:
1. Remove the dust cover from the top of the attached
CLIQ.connect, and then remove the ClareBus cover from
the bottom of the next CLIQ.connect.
2. Align the next CLIQ.connect over the CLIQ.connect that
you just added, and push down until the unit is seated.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each additional CLIQ.connect.
Note:
When attaching additional CLIQ.connects, be sure
that each CLIQ.connect is receiving power before adding
the next CLIQ.connect. The CLIQ controller auto-
discovers each CLIQ.connect in the order in which you
add them.
