Device Functions Functions Short-time pulse – The output of the device can be configured as electronic current surge sensor to activate a staircase light automaton, for example. Here, during the "On" phase, the output is switched on only periodically for 1 second with 100% brightness and then switched off for 9 seconds. A switch-off delay cannot be set.
Page 23
Device Functions – To increase the detection ranges, additional sensors can be connected in series in conjunction with an extension insert. In this case, the switch-off delay is set and controlled via the sensor of the main unit. – A maximum of 9 extension units may be connected to a main unit via the extension line (PlusWire).

Operation Position between both symbols: – Determine a setting by testing until the desired response threshold is reached. – Walk back and forth in front of the sensor until the flush-mounted sensor triggers. Stop and remain still until the consumers are switched off. Confirm the test results by walking again if pertinent.
Operation – Deactivate the activation test again after the test is completed. This is done by resetting the trimmer [1] to the desired brightness-value threshold. 10.3 Extension operation (Option) Extension operation via push-button The light can be switched at any time via an extension unit push-button.

Operation 10.5 Device settings of the dimmer 10.5.1 Introduction The minimum brightness determines the luminosity down to which dimming is possible. The minimum brightness of the flush-mounted insert of the dimmer can be set with the operating part removed by adjusting the trimmer on the front of the device. Depending on the type of load connected, the appropriate operating mode is also selected during the setting.
Operation 10.5.3 Minimum brightness Fig. 21: Setting the minimum brightness Depending on the set operating mode, the minimum brightness is set in the right [1] or left [2] setting range of the trimmer. – To set the operating mode: see chapter 10.5.2 “Operating modes“ on page 46. The setting of the minimum brightness is signalled directly by the connected lighting.

Information about planning and application 12.1.2 Principles of function Infrared radiation, also called heat radiation, consists of electromagnetic waves. Every object transmits a characteristic heat radiation, depending on its specific temperature. The detection of movement depends on the mounting height and the "free view" of the device.

Page 51
Light measurement Fig. 25: Brightness sensor The devices of ABB are fitted with an ambient light measurement. This extends the movement detection process by one brightness-value threshold. The brightness-value threshold determines the luminosity from which the light switches on. If the surrounding light is brighter that the set brightness-value threshold, the light does not switch on if movement is detected.
Lens types Fig. 26: Lens types The devices of ABB are fitted with Fresnel lenses. Compared to normal lenses, Fresnel lenses offer the advantage of an increase in the amplification of infrared radiation. [1] Normal lens (hemispherical) [2] Fresnel lens 12.1.4...

Information about planning and application Moving lengthways to/in parallel with the device Fig. 28: Moving lengthways to/in parallel with the device The detection width is physically dependent smaller when the person to be detected moves directly toward the device [A] or in parallel [B] (e.g., in a corridor) with it. In the bottom example graphic a new sector is touched by the person only at the end of a 1 m path (arrow).
Page 54
Information about planning and application Mounting heights Fig. 29: Mounting heights Depending on the mounting height, the detection characteristics change. As the mounting height increases, the sensitivity and detection density decrease. In the left side of the example graphic, the movement is no longer detected because it does not cut across any additional sectors.
Information about planning and application 12.2 Case studies 12.2.1 Corridor Function Fig. 30: Application example: corridor with light and dark areas A corridor lighting system should be controlled intelligently via a Busch-Watchdog. In this corridor there are light and dark areas due to an unfavourable distribution of daylight. The lighting should be switched depending on movement and the prevailing lighting conditions.

Information about planning and application 12.3 Sources of interference Moving heating air Fig. 35: Movement detector malfunction source: moving heating air Movement detectors react to infrared radiation (heat radiation).
