D:
Select a mounting height between 2 m and 3 m.
For optimum monitoring, we recommend a height
of 2.5 m on a solid and even base.
–
E:
Maintain a distance of at least 5 m from sources
of optical interference. Use the blanking inserts pro-
vided if necessary.
In principle, you should not mount the luminaire under-
neath the ARGUS. The radiated heat from the lumin-
aire can influence the function of the movement
detector and lead to a permanent lighting circuit under
certain conditions:
A minimum distance of 5 m (F) should be maintained
between the luminaire and the movement detector. If
this distance cannot be achieved, you can use the in-
serts provided to "blank out" the light source from the
area of detection.
If possible, mount the movement detector sideways
to the direction of travel:
To avoid the connected load being switched on due to
environmental influences, the ARGUS should if pos-
sible be mounted so that it is protected against rain
and direct sunlight. A raindrop running over the lens,
for example, can activate the movement detector.
¼
Risk of damage!
If the installation is not carried out correctly, wa-
ter can penetrate the ARGUS and damage it. Al-
ways mount it with the spherical head pointing
downwards.
If you wish to attach several movement detectors,
mount them so that the detection areas of the indivi-
dual movement detectors intersect each other.
