Detection Area - Niko 550-20220 Bedienungsanleitung

Operation
General
The mini detector detects movement by using Passive Infrared Technology (PIR).
Whenever the detector detects movement the start behaviour of a programmed action will be carried out. If no movement is
detected after a set time (e.g. once everyone has left the room) then the programmed stop behaviour will be activated. The
start and stop behaviour for the actions is programmed using the Niko Home Control programming software.
The mini detector is also equipped with a photo cell measuring incoming light intensity. When programming you decide
whether only to take incoming light or movement into consideration or both of these aspects. This means you can choose to
start an action every time movement is detected or only during the day or in the evening. Alternatively you can choose only to
take incoming light intensity into consideration and not movement.
A few optional applications:
• as a presence detector (automatically on/off with mini detector): the mini detector switches the lights on automatically,
depending on the chosen lux value and/or whether it detects movement.
• as an absence detector (manually on with push button /automatically off with mini detector): The light is switched on
with a push button and the mini detector switches the lights off when no more movement is detected over a set
period.
• as a light sensor (automatically on/off with mini detector): the mini detector automatically switches the lights on once
the light in the room goes below a set lux value and switches them off again on reaching the set value.
More information about these and other programming can be found at www.niko.eu, under the "Help and Advice" tab,
under "System Manuals"
The detector calibrates automatically once connected to the bus. After about 40 sec. it is ready to use. The
programming remains intact even after a disruption to the current and the detector will continue to work properly.

Detection area

The recommended mounting height is 2 to 3 m. When installed at a height of 3 m, the mini detector has a detection range of
9.5 m diameter (when the sensitivity to movement is set to "high").

9,5 m
The above table is relevant to the "high" setting. Should the detector's sensitivity be set to "medium high", "medium
low" or "low", then the detector will be less sensitive to movement (heat transfer) and the detection area will be
reduced.
The mini detector is most sensitive to movements passing through the detection area.
