Installing the ARGUS on corners and fixed pipes
You can attach the ARGUS to inner/outer corners or fixed
pipes using the mounting bracket (art. no. 56529x). You
can feed the connecting cable to the device from behind
through the mounting bracket.
½
CAUTION
The device can become damaged.
Operation only possible with sinusoidal mains
voltages. Phase control dimmers or inverters with
square-wave or trapezoidal voltage curves will
damage the device.
|
Protect ARGUS using a 16 A circuit breaker.
|
When switching inductive loads such as trans-
formers, relays, contactors or fluorescent lamps,
spikes occur which could lead to the load being
switched on again ("maintained light effect").
Connect a capacitor in parallel to the inductive
load to reduce these spikes.
"Through-wiring" to other loads is permitted.
Installation options
• ARGUS permanently connected to the mains
ARGUS constantly monitors its area
• ARGUS combined with two-way switch
Depending on the switch position, either maintained
light or automatic mode

• ARGUS combined with break contact
The ARGUS is always ready for operation. By
pressing the push-button (the power is briefly dis-
connected for 2–3 seconds), the ARGUS is
switched on for the set period. Every further move-
ment increases the switching duration.
• ARGUS connected in parallel
Several ARGUS devices working together can
switch a lamp group when the maximum switching
capacity of one device is not exceeded. To do this,
you must reduce the sensitivity of the devices. For
technical and functional reasons, we do not advise
using more than four ARGUS devices in one group.
• ARGUS combined with two-circuit switch
Depending on the switch position, either manual,
automatic mode or "OFF" results. In position 1, the
luminaire is switched on by ARGUS (automatic) and
in position 2, it is switched on permanently (manu-
al).
• ARGUS parallel to staircase timer
Either ARGUS or the staircase timer switches the
lights on for a certain period.
Installation of the top section of the ARGUS
The ARGUS can now be put into operation.

1 Connect the supply voltage.
The load is switched on for approx. 10 s or for the set pe-
riod. The functional display lights up for approx. 10 s.
Conducting a functional test
The brightness sensor must not be covered up.
1 Set the switching duration to 1 second (left stop).
2 Set the brightness threshold to daytime operation
(right stop).
3 Set the sensitivity controller to maximum (right
stop).
4 Test the functionality of ARGUS and the loads con-
nected to it by walking to and fro in the detection ar-
ea.
The functional display lights up each time movement is
detected.
½
CAUTION
The device could become damaged.
The sensor head should only be rotated until it
reaches the stop and no further. To achieve an
angle "above" the stop, change the direction of
rotation.
1 Align the sensor head in the direction of the area
that is to be monitored.
2 From its edge step into the area of detection to see
whether the ARGUS switches the load and the func-
tional display as required.
Setting the sensitivity
Here you can infinitely set the distance up to which AR-
GUS detects movements (any distance up to max. 16
m).
Setting the brightness threshold
Here you can infinitely set the ambient brightness level at
which the ARGUS detects movements and triggers a
switching procedure.
– Moon symbol (night operation): The ARGUS will only
detect movements during the hours of darkness (ap-
prox. 3 lux).
– Sun symbol (day and night operation): The ARGUS
detects movements up to approx. 1000 lux.

Setting the switching duration
Here you can set how long the loads connected to AR-
GUS are switched on for. When a movement is detected,
the load is switched on and stays switched on until the
set period has elapsed. Every further movement restarts
the switching duration.
|
The ARGUS ignores the light-sensitive switch
once the load has been switched on. If the move-
ment detector does not switch the load off again,
the reason probably is that the ARGUS constantly
detects further movements and thus keeps re-
starting the switching duration.
Blocking out individual areas
Using the four segments supplied, you can block out un-
wanted zones and sources of interference from the area
of detection.
|
Ensure that the brightness sensor A is not cov-
ered, as the sensitivity to light is otherwise re-
duced.
