KNX ARGUS 220

Art. no. MTN6325..

– Mounting bracket (Art. no. MTN565291)

– Programming magnet for EMO valve drive (Art. no.

MTN639190)

DANGER

Risk of fatal injury from electrical current.

All work carried out on the unit may only be per-

formed by skilled electricians. Observe the regu-

lations valid in the country of use, as well as the

valid KNX guidelines.

The ARGUS 220 (subsequently called ARGUS) is a

KNX movement detector which can be used both in-

doors and outdoors due to its IP 55 protection rating.

Surface monitoring of 220° for larger house fronts and ar-

eas of the house (max. range of 16 m) is combined with

a 360° short-range zone with a radius of approx. 4 m.

The operating elements for setting the brightness, time

and sensitivity (range) as well as the programming area

and a red LED for displaying the programming are locat-

ed under the cover plate for protection. The physical ad-

dress is programmed using a programming magnet (e.g.

art. no. MTN639190).

The ARGUS can be mounted on the wall or ceiling and

also on to corners or fixed pipes with the mounting

bracket (art. no. MTN5652 ..) which is available as an ac-

cessory.

The integrated functional display lights up when move-

ment is detected and thus simplifies the alignment of the

device at the installation site. You can also optionally

switch off the functional display via a parameter setting.

The area of detection can be adapted to the local condi-

tions due to the horizontally, vertically and axially adjust-

able sensor head. You can also block unwanted zones or

sources of interference (e.g. trees) from the area of de-

tection using the masking segments provided.

The device is fitted with a light sensor whose brightness

threshold can be set from approx. 3 to 1000 lux. Depend-

ing on the application, it is also possible to use the device

as a light-sensitive switch or to link the brightness thresh-

old with the detection of movement. Several movement

detectors can be combined together in a system.

The power is supplied via the bus line. No additional

mains connection is required. As the bus line is connect-

ed directly to the terminal block in the wall connection

box, a bus connecting terminal is not required.

ARGUS introduction

Movement detectors are not suitable for use as

components of an alarm system.

Movement detectors can trigger false alarms if

the installation site has been chosen unfavoura-

bly.

Movement detectors switch on as soon as they detect a

moving heat source. This can be a person, but also ani-

mals, trees, cars or differences in temperature in win-

dows. In order to avoid false alarms, the chosen

installation site should be such that undesired heat

sources cannot be detected.

Undesired sources of heat could include the following:

• moving trees, shrubbery etc. with a temperature that

differs from that of their surroundings.

• windows where the influence of sunlight and clouds

could cause rapid changes in temperature.

• larger heat sources (e.g. cars), that are detected

through windows.

• insects moving across the lens.

• small animals.

• rooms flooded with light where the light is reflected on

objects (e.g. the floor), which can be the cause of rapid

changes in temperature.

Explanation of the symbols used

When selecting a suitable installation site, you should

take a number of factors into account so that the move-

ment detector operates optimally.

The following diagram shows the ranges of the ARGUS.

They are based on average temperature conditions at a

mounting height of 2.5 m. The range of a movement de-

tector can fluctuate considerably at variable tempera-

tures.

A Inner security zone with an angle of detection of

360° and a radius of approx. 4 m.

B Central security zone with an angle of detection of

220° and an area of detection of approx.

9mx18m.

C Outer security zone with an angle of detection of

220° and a detection area of approx. 16 m x 28 m.

D Select a mounting height between 2 m and 3 m. For

optimum monitoring, we recommend a height of 2.5

m on a solid and even base.

E Maintain a distance of at least 5 m from sources of

optical interference. Use the masking segments

provided if necessary.

In principle, you should not mount the luminaire under-

neath the ARGUS. The radiated heat from the luminaire

can influence the function of the movement detector and

lead to a permanent lighting circuit under certain condi-

tions.

F A minimum distance of 5 m should be maintained

between the luminaire and the movement detector.

If this distance cannot be achieved, you can use the

segments provided to "mask" the light source from

the area of detection.

If possible, install the movement detector sideways to the

direction of movement.

CAUTION

The device can become damaged.

If installation is not carried out correctly, water can

penetrate the movement detector and damage it.

Always mount it with the spherical head pointing

downwards.

To avoid the connected load being switched on due to

environmental influences, the ARGUS should be in-

stalled so that it is protected against rain and direct sun-

light. A raindrop running over the lens, for example, can

activate the movement detector.

If you wish to attach several movement detectors, install

them so that the detection areas of the individual move-

ment detectors intersect each other.

1 Undo both screws and remove the wall connection

box from the device.

2 Mark drill holes on the mounting surface.

– To feed the bus line into the back of the device

from above, attach the spacers supplied to the

wall connection box.

– Feeding in the bus line from behind: slide the rub-

ber grommet A supplied over the stripped bus

line.

– Feeding in the bus line from below: cut the rubber

insert B supplied according to the cable thick-

ness. Insert the rubber insert into the wall connec-

tion box. Push the bus line through.

4 Mount the wall connection box.

Installing the ARGUS on the ceiling

In order to install the ARGUS on the ceiling, you must ro-

tate the sensor head. Change the direction of rotation

once you have reached the end stops.

1 Turn the sensor head upwards as far as it will go.

2 Turn the sensor head clockwise as far as it will go.

3 Align the sensor head.

Movement/monitoring 1307/1.0 ● General In the following the device will be referred to as the movement detector. The movement block will only switch off when there is no more movement in front of the device - in other words, independently of the brightness. The ETS application includes 5 independent movement blocks, each with 4 output objects.

Brightness is measured only at the moment when the first movement is detected. If further movement is detected, an OFF telegram is not transmitted, irrespective of brightness changes. The staircase timer starts only when movement is no longer detected, and an OFF telegram is transmitted after the parametrised time period.
