The ARGUS 220 Advanced (hereafter called ARGUS) is
a movement detector for indoors and outdoor use.
The ARGUS registers moving sources of heat within its
range, e.g. people, and switches the loads connected
whenever it detects a movement. This could include:
– ohmic loads (e.g. 230 V incandescent and halogen
lamps)
– inductive loads (e.g. low-voltage halogen lamps
with inductive transformer)
– capacitive loads (e.g. electronic transformers)
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 thresh-
old, switching duration and sensitivity are located under
the cover plate for protection.
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.
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 between approx. 3 and 1000 lux.

ARGUS introduction
|
The ARGUS is not suitable for use as a compo-
nent of an alarm system since it is supplied from
the mains and will switch the connected alarm
whenever the mains supply fails and recovers, re-
gardless of whether or not a movement is detect-
ed (false alarm).
Movement detectors switch on as soon as they detect a
moving heat source. This can be a person, but also
trees, cars or differences in temperature in windows. 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.

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 Release both screws and remove the wall connec-
tion box from the device.
2 Mark drill holes on the mounting surface.
ARGUS installation
3 Feed in the connecting cable.
– To feed the connecting cable into the back of the
device from above, attach the spacers supplied to
the wall connection box.
– Feeding in the connecting cable from behind:
Slide the rubber sleeve A supplied over the
stripped connecting cable.
– Feeding in the connecting cable from below: Cut
the rubber insert B supplied according to the ca-
ble thickness. Insert the rubber insert into the wall
connection box. Push the connecting cable
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.
