- General

In the following the device will be referred to as the 

movement detector.
The movement block will only switch off when there is no 

more movement in front of the device - in other words, 

independently of the brightness. 
The ETS application includes 5 independent movement 

blocks, each with 4 output objects. 

|

Note:

All of the settings described refer to ETS version 3, 
but you can also use all the settings and functions 

with ETS version 2. 

 The application files (vd2 and vd3) are configured in 
such a way that the application loading time is 

considerably reduced. When you convert an ETS 2 

project to ETS 3, you lose this time saving. If you are 
working with ETS 3, use the vd3 files.

Total possible addresses and connections:
254 addresses; 255 connections

|

Note:

If you switch back to the preset values in either ETS 

2 or ETS 3 (by clicking "Standard"), all the values 
that you have changed so far will be deleted. Any 

group addresses which have been parametrised will 

be lost.

|

Note

:

 Due to the fact that various functions depend on 

other functions, these dependent functions will not 

be visible and selectable in the ETS unless the 
preceding function has been enabled. If you de-select 

functions or change parameters, group addresses that 

have already been connected may be removed. 

- Getting started quickly

When you insert the application in the ETS or click on the 
"Standard" button, the ETS application will switch 

automatically to minimum configuration.
In minimum configuration, it is possible to put the presence 

detector into operation. For some application cases, the 

minimum configuration is even adequate for practical use. 
We also recommend opening minimum configuration as a 

way of familiarising yourself with the application software 

for the presence detector. Here all of the extended or more 
complex parameters are disabled. In "Block configuration" 

only the first "Movement" block is enabled for use. In the 

"Telegrams" tab only output object 1 is enabled. This is a 1-
bit output object. At the start of movement this object sends 

a 1 telegram and when the internal staircase timer has 

elapsed it sends a 0 telegram. Each parameter can always be 
tuned to its individual requirements. The brightness 

threshold and the staircase timer always need to be adjusted 
to suit requirements. Check the "Brightness" and "Times" 

tabs. 
In this way the corresponding objects are connected to a 
KNX switch actuator.

To familiarise yourself with the extended and more complex 
parameters see the following pages.

- General functions

The common safety pause

The application has a common safety pause system - in other 

words, a safety pause triggered by the movement detector 
will affect all blocks in the application. As specified in a 

parameter the safety pause can be triggered at the status 

feedback object (safety pause) when there is an OFF 
telegram or when there is an OFF and ON telegram.

The status feedback object of the switching/dimming 

actuator must be connected to the feedback safety pause 
object of the movement detector.

Once a safety pause has been started, signals from the 

movement sensor will no longer be evaluated for this period 
of time. An elapsed staircase timer cannot be started by a 

movement during an active safety pause and an ongoing 

staircase timer cannot be retriggered by a movement.
An ongoing staircase timer is not affected by a safety pause 

being activated. In other words, the staircase timer will run 

through in the usual way.

|

Note:

Optical feedback can only be avoided by selecting 

the right installation location for the movement 

detector and the lighting. The safety pause system 
and the safety pause object of the application cannot 

compensate for all planning mistakes.

- General brightness evaluation:

The current brightness can be determined by the internal 

brightness sensor, by an external communication object or 
by both dependencies. The relationship between internal 

and external values can be parametrised while doing this.

Communication objects

You can select the following communication objects:

General:

Parameter

For actual value correction you will need a luxmeter. The 
measured values are then input into the application software 

of the presence detector.

When intense sunlight is shining onto the reference area or 
the installation location, the measurements should not be 

taken. Under certain circumstances darkening the room may 

improve the measurement results. 

- Movement block

Basic function of a movement block

A staircase timer is "integrated" into a movement block. 

When the ambient brightness is too low 

and 

 a movement is 

detected, the movement block transmits an ON telegram to 

the bus. When no further movement is detected the staircase 

timer starts. An OFF telegram is transmitted to the bus after 
a parametrised time. 

Brightness is measured 

only 

 at the moment when the first 

movement is detected. If further movement is detected, an 
OFF telegram is 

not

 transmitted, irrespective of brightness 

changes. The staircase timer starts only when movement is 

no longer detected, and an OFF telegram is transmitted after 
the parametrised time period.

Block configuration

Up to five movement blocks are available. In the default 
setting, block 1 is enabled. 

Parameter

Movement detection

The device has a detection angle of 220°.

To suppress disturbance variables or if delayed activation is 

required, a dead time for the start of movement can be 

activated. The dead time is started after movement has been 
detected (start of movement). The start of movement action 

(transmitting a telegram to the bus) can take place if a 

movement is still detected within the movement time after 
the dead time has elapsed.

In master mode or normal mode the movement time 

corresponds to the staircase timer in the diagram above. In 

slave mode or monitoring mode the movement time 
corresponds to the cycle time. In practice a large number of 

applications can be implemented by means of the various 
blocks.

Movement evaluation 

As has already been stated above, the movement sensor 
input into movement detection.

The master trigger object is brightness-dependent and with 

an ON telegram simulates a movement; an OFF telegram is 
ignored.

The trigger object is brightness-independent and also 

simulates a movement for an ON telegram . Whether the 
trigger object can switch the lighting off early when there is 

an OFF telegram can be parametrised.

|

Note:

The master trigger object and the trigger object do 

not appear in the ETS until the device operating 
mode has been set to "Master mode". See "Block X, 

general" tab, parameter: "Operating mode". The 

master/trigger object ignores the dead time (for Dead 
time, see above) and reacts without a delay. More 

detailed information about the master/trigger object 

may be found later on.

- Brightness evaluation

Brightness evaluation of a movement detector:

The movement detector changes to non-brightness-

dependent mode once the start of movement action (sending 
an ON telegram) has been carried out. Here freshly detected 

movements can retrigger the staircase timer. The movement 

detector cannot process the brightness jump and there is not 
even any setting of a hysteresis. 

Brightness

The brightness threshold can be parametrised separately for 

each of the five movement blocks. Each block has its own 
"Brightness" tab. A staircase timer be started (depending on 

parametrisation of the device) and an ON telegram 

transmitted to the bus only after the value is below the 
parametrised brightness threshold and the movement 

detector detects a movement. The brightness threshold can 

be set between 3 and 1000 lux. 
Via the "Brightness threshold object" "Enabled" or 

"Disabled" you can select whether the brightness threshold 
should be changed via the bus. This can be useful when 

several movement detectors are installed in a building. The 

brightness threshold can be changed using the "Brightness 
threshold - Block X" object via the ETS or an IP touch panel, 

for example. The brightness threshold is set to the same 

level in all parts of the building.

Brightness object 1 bit

The brightness object sends a 1-bit value on the bus. If the 
parametrised brightness threshold is not reached, an ON 

telegram can be transmitted. If the parametrised brightness 
threshold is exceeded, an OFF telegram can be transmitted. 

Inverted transmission can also be set.

Always-dark object

In the case of an enabled "always-dark object", darkness can 

be simulated internally in the movement detector depending 
on the object value. The "always-dark object" is used with 

master/slave circuits. Planning master/slave circuits is 

described further below.

Parameter

- Operating modes

The operating mode in which this block operates is specified 

in the application software for each block (movement blocks 
1 - 5). The following operating modes are available:
– Normal operation
– Master mode
– Slave mode
– Monitoring mode
Depending on the operating mode different parameters and 

communication objects will be displayed. Each operating 

mode can operate brightness-dependently or non-
brightness-dependently. 

Normal operation

In this operating mode the movement detector does not have 

any external trigger objects (master trigger object, trigger 
object). Telegrams cannot be sent cyclically and this means 

a master-slave system cannot be set up. In the default 

setting, the movement detector transmits an ON telegram at 
the start of movement and transmits an OFF telegram when 

the movement time (staircase timer) has expired.

|

Note:

Use the "Normal operation" setting when the 
movement detector is working for itself alone. In 

other words, one movement detector is used for each 

room and it switches one light or one light panel.

Master mode

With master mode all of the possible parameters and 

communication objects of the movement detector are 

available. A master-slave system can be set up with the aid 
of the master trigger object or the trigger object.  In the 

default setting, the movement detector transmits an ON 

telegram at the start of movement and transmits an OFF 
telegram when the movement time (staircase timer) has 

expired.

Slave mode

In slave mode the default setting is that ON telegrams are 
sent cyclically when a movement is detected. These 

telegrams are intended for the master trigger object or for the 

trigger object of the master.

Monitoring mode

In monitoring mode the default setting is that ON telegrams 

are sent cyclically when a movement is detected. At the end 

of the movement time (cycle time with movement) OFF 
telegrams are transmitted cyclically.

|

Note:

Use the "Monitoring mode" setting when the 

movementmovement detector is being used for room 
monitoring and telegrams are to be sent cyclically on 

the bus.

- Telegrams

For each movement block the "Action at start of movement" 

can be set as a function of the operating mode.
Normal operation:
– "Send immediately"
– "Do not send"
Master mode:
– "Send immediately"
– "Send immediately and then cyclically"
– "Do not send"
Slave mode:
– "Send immediately and then cyclically" (is permanent

not displayed in the parameters) 

Monitoring mode:
– "Send immediately and then cyclically" (is permanent 

setting in the background of the application software, is 

not displayed in the parameters) 

The behaviour after the "End of movement time" can also be 
set as a function of the operating mode.
Normal operation:
– "Send after staircase timer/remaining time has elapsed"
– "Do not send"
Master mode:
– "Send after staircase timer/remaining time has elapsed"
– "Send after staircase timer has elapsed and then 

cyclically"

– "Do not send"

Slave mode:
– "Do not send" (is permanent setting in the background of 

the application software, is not displayed in the 
parameters) 

Monitoring mode:
– "Send at end of cycle time when there is movement and 

then cyclically" (is permanent setting in the background 
of the application software, is not displayed in the 

parameters)

Four output objects are available for each of the five 

movement blocks and they can be enabled via the 
application software. A transmission pause between the 

individual output objects can be set for each block.

|

Note:

Five movement blocks and four output objects per 
movement detector means that 20 switching/value 

objects in all are available.

For each output object you can select between a 1-bit, 1-byte 

(0% - 100%), 1-byte (0 - 255) and 2-byte object. The 

telegram values should be parametrised for the start of 
movement and for the end of the movement time. Here an 

object can transmit its current value or a defined value to the 

bus.

|

Note:

The current value can be transmitted by a time 

switch, for example. During the night a lower byte 
value is transmitted to the output object of the 

movement detector than in daytime hours.

some parameters will not be displayed!

The parameter settings include various functions 

which depend on other functions. Depending on the

|

Note regarding 2-byte parameter settings:

Depending on the setting of the object type value 
there will be new parameters; depending on the 

parametrisation the values can be input immediately 

or are determined via sign x basic value x factor.

- Staircase timer

The staircase timer or cycle time can be parametrised via a 

time base x factor. With "Normal operation" and "Master 
mode" operating modes the "Staircase timer" is 

parametrised. With "Slave mode" and "Monitoring mode" 

operating modes the "Cycle time" is parametrised.

|

The "Times" tab has some parameter displays and 
selectable objects which are 

dependent

 on the 

operating mode set. 

|

Note:

In "Slave mode" and "Monitoring mode" operating 
modes no further objects are displayed by 

modification on the "Times" tab.

Self-adjusting staircase timer

The movementmovement detector is equipped with a "Self-
adjusting staircase timer". When the "Self-adjusting 

staircase timer" is enabled, the movement detector can start 

a brief overshoot time when someone is in the room for a 
short time. If they remain in the room longer, a long 

overshoot time is started.

The parameters "Time base", "Minimum time factor", 
"Time factor for learning step", "Maximum time factor" and 

"Sensitivity of the learning step" are available for the "Self-

adjusting staircase timer." If there is only a brief movement 
in front of the movement detector, the overshoot time (until 

switch-off) will be close to the "Minimum time factor" x 

"Time basis". If movements last longer, a "Time factor for 
learning step" will be added to the staircase timer up to the 

maximum, depending on what learning sensitivity has been

- Disable function

The movement detector can be disabled with the aid of the 

disable object; here the activation time point can be 

download / bus voltage recovery or reception of a disable 
telegram. The activation telegram for the disable function 

can be an ON telegram or an OFF telegram. At the start of 

disablement (if enabled via parameter) a telegram can be 
sent via the corresponding output object. Cyclic 

transmission makes sense with, for example, monitoring 
since certain bus devices require a cyclically transmitted 

OFF telegram. When the disable function is disabled, the 

current status of the movement detector is restored (an 
ongoing staircase timer is not stopped/start of movement 

actions or action when movement time elapses is 

transmitted).

Parameter

|

Note regarding 2-byte parameter settings:

Depending on the setting of the object type value 
there will be new parameters; depending on the 

parametrisation the values can be input immediately 

or are ascertained via sign x basic value x factor.

- Changing specific parameters via the bus

The following parameters can be modified via the bus:
– "Time factor, staircase timer"
– "Range"
– "Brightness threshold"

|

Note:

Following bus voltage failure and recovery the 

modified values will be retained.

Communication objects

You can select the following communication objects:

Parameter

- Master/slave planning via the trigger object or master 
trigger object

General information regarding the trigger object and 

master trigger object

The trigger object acts on the staircase timer 

without

brightness measurement. Object value "1" starts the 
staircase timer (start of movement action) while further "1" 

telegrams retrigger the staircase timer, if enabled.

Object value "0" can switch the staircase timer off (end of 
movement time action), if enabled.
The master trigger object acts on the staircase timer 

with

brightness measurement. Object value "1" starts the 

staircase timer (start of movement action) while further "1" 

telegrams retrigger the staircase timer, if enabled.
Object value "0" has no meaning as regards the master 

trigger object.

The parameters "Trigger object observes the safety pause" 
(enabled/disabled) and "Master trigger object observes the 

safety pause" (enabled/disabled) determine the effect of the 

safety pause on the two external trigger objects.

Application example 1: 

Slave as movement detector (not brightness-dependent) and 
master as movement detector (not brightness-dependent) 

– System not brightness-dependent
– Slave transmits ON telegrams cyclically after movement
– Master switches on actuator when movement detected or 

trigger

– Master retriggers staircase timer when movement 

detected or trigger

– Master switches off when staircase timer elapses
– Cycle time slave maximum staircase timer / 2
– Staircase timer retriggerable via movement / master 

trigger / trigger

Application example 2:

Slave as movement detector (not brightness-dependent) and 
master as movement detector (brightness-dependent)

– Master evaluates brightness locally
– Slave transmits ON telegrams cyclically after movement 
– Master switches on actuator upon movement detection or 

master trigger if it is too dark

– Master retriggers staircase timer upon movement 

detection or trigger, if previously switched on

– Master switches off when staircase timer elapses
– Cycle time slave maximum staircase timer / 2

– Staircase timer retriggerable via movement / master 

trigger / trigger

Application example 3:

Slave as movement detector (brightness-dependent) and 
master as movement detector (brightness-dependent)

– Master and slave evaluate the brightness 
– Slave sends ON telegrams cyclically upon movement 

detection if it is too dark or "Always-dark object" is "1".

– Master switches on actuator upon movement detection, if 

it is too dark

– Master switches on actuator upon trigger
– Master retriggers staircase timer upon movement 

detection or trigger, if previously switched on

– Master switches off when staircase timer elapses 

(always-dark object again "0")

– Cycle time slave maximum staircase timer / 2
– Staircase timer retriggerable via movement / master 

trigger / trigger

Behaviour on application/recovery of the bus voltage

The actual value input (external sensor), the status feedback 
object (brightness value dimming actuator) can transmit 

read requests depending on the parametrisation.

The operating mode status feedback message and the 
brightness object can be transmitted depending on the 

parametrisation.
