What is motion detection with mini detector(s)?

The advanced action Motion detection with mini detector(s) switches on one or several lamps when movement is detected. You can programme dimmable lamps to switch on with a certain light intensity. You can choose when the motion detection should be activated:

  • in light and darkness
  • only in darkness, when the light intensity is lower than an adjustable threshold value

If no presence is detected during a certain, pre-defined period of time, the lamps will switch off. You can extend the detection range by selecting additional mini detectors as slaves.

Procedure

  1. In the right-hand button bar, click on the button Advanced action.
    Result:
    The Advanced action pane appears.
  2. Choose the room as follows:
    • Choose Room from the drop-down list.
    • Click on the room in the drawing area.
  3. Click on the arrow next to the category Motion detection.
  4. Click on Motion detection with mini detector(s).
  5. Give the action a name.
  6. Set the behaviour as follows:

    BehaviourWhat?How?
    AChoose the master mini detector which will activate the action.
    Master means that the light measured by this detector will be used to decide whether or not to activate the function.

    Click on the plus sign of the mini detector you want to include in the action.

    B(optional) Choose additional slave mini detectors.
    Slave means that the light measured by this detector will not be used to decide whether or not to activate the function.

    Click on the plus signs of the players.

    CSelect output players for this action.

    Click on the plus signs of the players. You can activate switched lamps or dimmable lamps at a set value.
    In this example we have chosen one switched lamp.

    D(optional) Choose a control to perform one of the following actions:
    • deactivate the function (in case of presence detection). The output player will always be on and will not be affected by the mini detector.
    • manually switch on output players and automatically switch them off (in case of absence detection)

    Click on the plus sign of the player.

    Use a push button with feedback LED so you can clearly see whether it is active or not.

    Use Multiselect to select various outputs at the same time.

  7. Under Parameters, set the following:

    ParameterChoiceDescriptionExample
    Detection modePresence detectionThe mini detector switches on the light.


    Absence detectionSwitch on the light manually. The mini detector switches off the light when no more movement is detected.
    Light sensor operating modeDark and light
    The action is performed whenever movement is detected, regardless of the light level.

    Dark only

    The action is only performed when movement is detected and the light level is low.

    This parameter applies to all mini detectors used.

    Switch-off initiatorLight level

    The function is disabled as soon as the programmed light level is exceeded, even when there is still movement.

    By default, light has priority.


    No movement

    The function is disabled as soon as no more movement is detected, even when there is sufficient light.

    Light threshold (lux)0 - 25,000 luxStandard: 100 lux

    Switch-off delay0 - 23 hrs. 59 min. 59 sec.Standard: 1 min.

  • In this example we create a motion detection system with 1 mini detector.



  • In this example we create a motion detection system with 1 mini detector and a manual overrule button.



  • In this example we create a motion detection system with 2 mini detectors, a master and a slave.
