For your safety

¼ DANGER

Risk of serious damage to property and personal injury, e.g. from fire or electric shock, due to incorrect electrical installation.

Safe electrical installation can only be ensured if the person in question can prove basic knowledge in the following areas:

• Connecting to installation networks

• Connecting several electrical devices

• Laying electric cables

These skills and experience are normally only possessed by skilled professionals who are trained in the field of electrical installation technology. If these minimum requirements are not met or are disregarded in any way, you will be solely liable for any damage to property or personal injury.

Getting to know the sensor module

The ARGUS 180 flush-mounted sensor module (referred to below as sensor module ) is a movement detector for installation indoors. The sensor module detects moving heat sources (e.g. people) within an adjustable area of detection and triggers a staircase lighting function.

The maximum range of the sensor module is approx. 8 m to the left/right and approx. 12 m to the front at a 180° angle of detection. As long as movement is detected, the connected load remains switched on. The adjustable overshoot time only begins when no further movements are detected (trigger function).

The sensor module is equipped with a light sensor with an adjustable brightness threshold so that the lighting is only switched on when surroundings are below a specified brightness threshold (movement detector function).

If there is sufficient natural light, the switchable presence function allows the sensor module to switch off the lighting even when a person is present.

| The specified range and brightness threshold refer to average conditions at the recommended mounting height of approx. 1.10 m and should therefore be taken as guide values. The range can vary greatly when the temperature fluctuates.

For sensor modules with a switch, the function switch can be used to switch between "Automatic mode", permanently "ON" and permanently "OFF".

Using the sensor module with alarm systems

|

|

Movement/presence detectors are not suitable for use as components of an alarm system.

Movement/presence detectors can trigger false alarms if the installation site is unsuitable.

Movement/presence detectors switch on as soon as they detect a moving heat source. This can be a person, but also animals or differences in temperature through windows. In order to avoid false alarms, the chosen installation site should be such that undesired heat sources cannot be detected (see section „Selecting the installation site“).

• Install the sensor module on the wall at a height of approx. 1.10 m above the floor. Any mounting height which deviates from this will affect the range.

• Install the sensor module laterally with respect to the direction of movement so that the beam paths are intersected as vertically as possible.

• Maximum area of detection of the sensor module:

• In order to ensure continuous monitoring, e.g. of a long hall, the areas of detection of the individual sensor modules have to intersect.

• Movement/presence detectors detect objects that radiate heat. You should select an installation site that will not result in undesired heat sources being detected, such as:

– Switched-on lamps in the area of detection

– Open fires (such as in fireplaces)

– Moving curtains, etc., that cause a different temperature in their surrounding environment due to strong sunlight.

– Windows where the influence of alternating sunlight and clouds could cause rapid changes in temperature.

– Larger heat sources (e.g. cars) that are detected through windows.

– Rooms flooded with light where light is reflected on objects (e.g. the floor) which can be the cause of rapid changes in temperature.

– Windowpanes heated up by sunlight

– Dogs, cats, etc.

• To prevent faulty operation, the insert should be installed in a wind-resistant switch box. With switch boxes and pipe cabling systems, a draught of air at the back of the equipment can trigger the module.

• Avoid direct sunlight. This can destroy the sensor in extreme cases.

C Sensor module with/without a switch

| When the mains voltage is activated, the sensor module switches channel 1 on for 30 s and then switches it off. Channel 2 remains switched off.

During the following 2 s the sensor module does not react to any movement. After this initialisation period has elapsed, the sensor module is ready for operation.

Setting the sensor module

On the rear side of the sensor module, the potentiometer can be used to set the module's sensitivity, brightness threshold and overshoot time.

| In combination with a 2-gang insert, the brightness threshold only applies to channel 1. Channel 2 always switches in dependently of brightness.

Setting the staircase lighting function

You can set the type of staircase lighting function (without/with pre-warning) and the overshoot time.

When setting the overshoot time, you specify how long the connected load remains switched on (continuously from 10 s to 30 min.)

The pre-warning indicates the end of the overshoot time.

The loads are switched off briefly and then back on again

(in combination with switch inserts), or are dimmed down slowly (in combination with dimmable inserts). The loads are switched off after the pre-warning time has elapsed

(30 s, not adjustable).

Activating/deactivating the presence function

In the case of brightness-dependent movement detection, the sensor module constantly monitors the brightness in the room and compares it to the set brightness threshold. If sufficient natural light is available, the sensor module will switch the lighting off even if a person is present.

The sensor module's presence function is deactivated as a factory default. You can activate the function ("ON") and deactivate it ("OFF") using DIP switch 1.

ON DIP

When the presence function has been deactivated, the sensor module continues to carry out the movement detector function.

Setting the 24-h staircase lighting circuit

The DIP switch 4 can be used to set a 24-hour staircase lighting circuit which you can retrieve from another location via PlusLink.

The following options are available for this:

• DIP 4 "ON": only switch on the staircase lighting for

24 h via PL

• DIP 4 "OFF": switch the staircase lighting on/off for

24 h via PL

ON DIP

Blocking out areas

If sources of interference (such as light sources) inadvertently switch on the connected luminaires, you can block these areas out. Adjust the sensor module's area of detection by applying, moving or shortening the masking segments supplied:

1 2 3

1 Place the masking segments on the centre of the lens and latch it into place at the top between the hood and the lens.

2 If necessary: shorten the masking segments at the positions marked so only the close range of the lens is used.

3 Move the masking segments precisely onto the area that you wish to block from detection.

| The use of masking segments affects the sensor module's brightness threshold. Readjust the brightness threshold.

Controlling the sensor module from another location

Controlling loads from another location via PlusLink with:

• Push-button module on central unit insert

• Sensor module on central unit insert

• Side controller Plus, 1-gang/2-gang

• Mechanical push-button

Example of global control with push-button module on central unit insert

Operating the sensor module with switch

(Only for ARGUS 180 flush-mounted sensor module with switch)

You can set three functions using the function switch A on the sensor module.

A

• Position Auto : The sensor module is in automatic mode and switches the loads on when movement is detected and then off again after the overshoot time has expired (movement detector function).

(permanently permanently (no movement detection). Green LED lights up.

• Position (permanently "OFF"): load is switched off permanently (no movement detection). Green LED lights up.

| Notes:

• The function switch has the highest priority.

All PlusLink commands are ignored at switch

• In combination with a 2-gang insert the function switch controls both channels together.

Operating the sensor module: global staircase lighting function via PlusLink

| The global control via PlusLink is possible with the combination of a central unit insert and sensor module.

Example of global control via module on the central unit insert

If the sensor module A on the central unit insert detects a movement, it sends a trigger command to all local sensor modules B in the PL lines.

The local sensor modules B check the ambient brightness. The staircase lighting function only starts if the brightness is below the set brightness threshold.

You can also start the staircase lighting function of the push-button modules Comfort and Comfort Plus in the

PL lines.
