How to put the ARGUS into operation
ARGUS displays and operating elements:
Figure >:
A Functional display: lights up whenever movement is detected
B Brightness sensor: must not be covered
C Setting the brightness threshold
D Setting the switching duration
D Setting the sensitivity
F Radio operation: To connect radio transmitters (see the operating
instructions for the radio module, art. no. 565495)
Setting the ARGUS for the function test:
1 Set the brightness threshold (Figure >C) to daytime operation (sun
symbol/right stop).
2 Set the switching duration (Figure >D) to 1 s (left stop).
Aligning the ARGUS:
1 Figure *: Align the sensor head with the area to be monitored
(change the direction of rotation when you have turned it as far as the
stop).
2 Step from the edge of the detection area into it (Figure §) to check
whether the ARGUS switches the load and the functional display as
required.
Setting the sensitivity:
Here (Figure >E) you can set the distance up to which ARGUS detects
movements (you can set this at any point up to max. 16 m).

How to put the ARGUS into operation
Setting the brightness threshold:
Here (Figure >C) you can infinitely adjust the ambient brightness level
at which movements should be detected and a switching procedure
should be triggered.
1 Set the brightness threshold (Figure :):
– Right stop (sun symbol): Day and night operation (approx. 1000 lux),
– Left stop (moon symbol): Night operation (approx. 3 lux), movements
Setting the switching duration:
Here (Figure >D) you can set how long the loads connected to the
ARGUS remain switched on for. When the ARGUS detects a movement,
the load (e.g. ceiling light) is switched on and stays switched on until the
set period has elapsed. Every further movement restarts the switching
duration.
Note: The ARGUS ignores the light-sensitive switch after the load has
been switched on. If the movement detector does not switch the load off
again, the reason is probably that the ARGUS has detected further
movements and has restarted the switching duration several times.
1 Set the switching duration (Figure _):
– Left stop: switching duration approx. 1 s
– Right stop: switching duration approx. 8 min
