• Este dispositivo está diseñado únicamente para uso en interiores.

3. Contenido del paquete

The Merten ARGUS 565495 Radio Module package typically includes:

• 1x Merten ARGUS 565495 Radio Module

Note: Additional components such as ARGUS 220 motion detectors, wiring, or mounting hardware are sold separately and are not included with this radio module.

4. Producto terminadoview

The Merten ARGUS 565495 Radio Module acts as a central communication unit for ARGUS 220 motion detectors. It features an integrated transmitter and receiver, enabling bidirectional communication. When a motion event is detected by one ARGUS 220 unit, the radio module transmits this information to all other connected and 'learned' motion detectors, allowing for synchronized actions such as lighting control.

5. Configuración e instalación

The radio module is designed for integration into compatible ARGUS 220 motion detectors (e.g., ARGUS 220, ARGUS 220 Timer, Article No. 5654xx, 5656xx). It can be retrofitted into existing installations.

5.1. Integration into ARGUS 220 Motion Detector

1. Ensure the main power supply to the motion detector circuit is switched off at the circuit breaker.
2. Open the housing of the ARGUS 220 motion detector according to its specific instructions.
3. Carefully insert the ARGUS 565495 Radio Module into the designated slot within the motion detector. Ensure it is securely seated.
4. Close the motion detector housing.

5.2. Learning Process (Pairing)

After installation, the radio module and connected ARGUS 220 detectors must be 'learned' or paired to establish wireless communication. Refer to the specific instructions for your ARGUS 220 motion detector for detailed steps on initiating the learning mode and pairing process. Typically, this involves a sequence of power cycles or button presses on the motion detectors.

6. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

The ARGUS 565495 Radio Module facilitates the wireless transmission of motion detection signals and supports various functions of the connected ARGUS 220 motion detectors.

6.1. Supported Functions

The radio module supports the following functions when integrated with compatible ARGUS 220 motion detectors:

• Tiempo de ejecución: Controls the duration for which connected devices (e.g., lights) remain active after motion detection.
• Fuera de tiempo: Manages periods when the motion detector is inactive.
• Modo automático: Standard operation where motion detection triggers actions.
• Kit (Timer) Mode: (ARGUS 220 Timer only) Allows for specific timed operations. In this mode, the ARGUS 220 can utilize its current twilight threshold for activation.

6.2. Comunicación inalámbrica

When motion is detected by any paired ARGUS 220 motion detector, the integrated radio module transmits a signal at 868 MHz using FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) bidirectional transmission. This signal is received by all other 'learned' ARGUS 220 detectors, enabling them to respond accordingly (e.g., activate lighting simultaneously).

7. Mantenimiento

The Merten ARGUS 565495 Radio Module requires minimal maintenance. To ensure optimal performance:

• Periodically inspect the motion detector housing for any signs of damage or obstruction.
• Gently clean the exterior of the motion detector with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Ensure the power supply to the motion detector is stable.

8. Solución de problemas

If you experience issues with your Merten ARGUS 565495 Radio Module, consider the following:

• Sin comunicacion: Check if the radio module is correctly installed within the ARGUS 220 motion detector. Verify that all motion detectors are properly powered and have completed the 'learning' process.
• Alcance limitado: Ensure there are no significant obstructions (e.g., thick walls, metal objects) between the motion detectors. The effective range is up to 100m in open fields and up to 30m in buildings.
• Operación intermitente: Check for potential sources of radio interference in the vicinity (e.g., other 868 MHz devices).
• Problemas de energía: Confirm that the ARGUS 220 motion detector, which powers the radio module, is receiving a stable power supply.

If problems persist, consult a qualified electrician or contact Merten customer support.
