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 the 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.

Putting ARGUS 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.
2 Teach the remote control.
Setting the brightness threshold
Here you can infinitely set the ambient brightness level at
which the ARGUS detects movements and triggers a
switching procedure.

detect movements during the hours of darkness (ap-
prox. 3 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.

Resetting the ARGUS
Reset to the factory settings
Under certain circumstances, it may be neccessary to
reset this device to its factory settings and to reconfigure
it:
½
CAUTION
Malfunctions can occur!
When resetting to the factory settings, all the set-
tings and connections for this CONNECT device
are deleted. Maybe the radio system is not work-
ing any longer and must be reconfigured (See the
separate description of the CONNECT radio sys-
tem).
1 Turn the controller A on the ARGUS to position C.
2 After approx. 1 s the LED flashes short: The device
has now been reset to its factory settings.
Radio ARGUS in the CONNECT radio
system
As a component of the radio system CONNECT you can
connect the ARGUS with 5 additional CONNECT devic-
es.
If you want to connect the ARGUS with other
|
CONNECT devices (exepted the radio ARGUS
220 CONNECT), you should do this connection
1000 LUX
via the CONNECT radio USB data interface (with
a corresponding PC) and the CONNECT radio
configurator.
1 Turn the controller A on the ARGUS to position B:
The learning mode is activated.

• Make sure that the maximum range is not exceeded
and that there are no metal surfaces such as metal
cabinets in the radio transmission path.
• If necessary, check that the device is connected cor-
rectly to the supply voltage.
• Make sure that the device is not in programming
mode. (If the LED is constantly flashing or constantly
lit up, this is the case).
• If necessary, repeat the programming process again.
