For your safety

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

The safe electrical installation can only be ensured if the person in question can prove basic knowl-edge in the following areas:

• Connecting to installation networks
• Connecting several electrical devices
• Laying electric cables
• Outdoor electrical installation

These skills and experience are normally only possessed by skilled professionals who are trained in 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.

ARGUS introduction

The ARGUS 220 (referred to below as ARGUS) is a movement detector for indoor and outdoor installation.

Functions:

• 220° surface monitoring for large house fronts and sections of the house (max. range. 16 m)
• 360° short-range zone (approx. 4 m radius)
• LED function display for fast alignment at the installa-tion site.
• Operating elements are protected under the easily accessible cover plate.
• It can be installed on walls and ceilings without additional accessories.
• Horizontally, vertically and axially adjustable sensor head for optimum adaptation to immediate surroundings
• Hide unwanted zones or sources of disturbance (e.g. trees) using the segments supplied.
• Remote control for setting and operating the ARGUS conveniently.

Scope of delivery

• A ARGUS
• B Remote control

Using ARGUS 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 has been chosen unfavorably.

Movement/presence detectors switch on as soon as they detect a moving heat source. This can be a person, but also animals, 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 (see section „Selecting the installation site“).

Connections, displays, and operating elements

• A Wall connection box
• B Top section
• C Cover plate
• D Sensor head
• E Contact pins
• F Cable routing for connecting cable from underneath
• G Cable routing for connecting cable from behind
• H Terminal block for the connecting cable and for locating the contact pins

The ARGUS operating elements are protected under the cover plate. The arrow’s position on the controllers shows you the set values.

• A ARGUS settings controller; Radio operation
• B Switching duration controller
• C Brightness threshold controller
• D Functional display (lights up each time movement is detected)
• E Brightness sensor (must not be covered)
• F Sensitivity controller

Selecting the installation site

Explanation of the symbols used

• Correct
• Not optimal
• Incorrect

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 figure shows the ranges of the AR-GUS at average temperature conditions and a mounting height of 2.5 m. The range of a movement detector can vary greatly depending on the temperature.

• Inner security zone A: Angle of detection 360° over a radius of approx. 4 m.
• Middle-security zone B: Angle of detection 220° with an area of detection of approx. 9 m x 18 m.
• Outer security zone C: Angle of detection 220° with an area of detection of approx. 16 m x 28 m.
• Mounting height D: 2-3 m. For optimum monitoring, we recommend a height of 2.5 m on a solid and even base.
• Minimum distance E to sources of optical interference: 5 m If necessary, use the segments supplied to shade the device.
• Minimum distance F between luminaire and movement detector: 5 m. 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 is switched on due to environmental influences, the ARGUS should be installed so that it is protected against rain and direct sunlight. 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 movement detectors intersect each other.

ARGUS installation

Dismantlement of the top section of the ARGUS

Installing the ARGUS to the wall

Feeding in the connecting cable

Installing the ARGUS on the ceiling

In order to install the ARGUS on the ceiling, you must rotate 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.

CAUTION

If not installed correctly, the device can be damaged by condensation
In the case of sloping ceilings, install the device so that the spherical head is pointing down and always at an angle of 15° – 90°. When the spherical head points downwards, any water from condensation could run down the device.

Type of protection IP 55 cannot be guaranteed if the mounting bracket is not 15° – 90°.

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. 5652..). You can feed the connecting cable to the device from behind through the mounting bracket.

Connecting the ARGUS

CAUTION
The device can become damaged.

• Operation is only possible with sinusoidal mains voltages. Phase control dimmers or inverters with square-wave or trapezoidal voltage curves will damage the device.
• Protect the ARGUS using a 16 A circuit breaker.
• When switching inductive loads such as transformers, 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.

ARGUS permanently connected to the mains

The ARGUS constantly monitors its area

Installation of the top section of the ARGUS

The ARGUS can now be put into operation.

Putting ARGUS into operation

1. Connect the supply voltage.
   The load is switched on for approx. 10 s or for the set period. The functional display lights up for approx. 10 s.

2. Teach the remote control.

Conducting a functional test
The brightness sensor must not be covered up.

The functional display lights up each time movement is detected.

Setting up the ARGUS manually

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 functional 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 movement 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 unwanted zones and sources of interference from the area of detection.

Ensure that the brightness sensor A is not covered, as the sensitivity to light is otherwise reduced.

Resetting the ARGUS
