KNX presence detector PlanoCentro A-KNX Functional characteristics PlanoCentro A-KNX presence detector Presence detector switches or controls a maximum of two lighting groups dependent on the presence of persons and the current brightness. A brightness level is defined for this, the second light group is then switched or controlled with a brightness difference. With brightness-dependent switching, the lighting is switched on for an adjustable length of time if movement is detected in detection area and there is insufficient light. With constant light control, the lighting is controlled to constant accumulated brightness of artificial light and daylight if movement has been detected in the detection area An additional channel transmits the presence information in the room to further devices such as heating, ventilation or blinds controls.

KNX presence detector PlanoCentro A-KNX Manual operation with push buttons The presence detector can be overridden using push buttons or by other commands. It is important to know that no separate push button input objects are required. On the contrary, the presence detector responds to telegrams sent directly to the actuators by the push buttons or superior functions.
The interval between two telegrams can be increased to 4 minutes to reduce the telegram load. It must be borne in mind that the switch-off delay can never be shorter than the interval between two telegrams in order to prevent unintentional switch off. The parallel connection is compatible with all Theben HTS KNX presence detectors. Page 29 of 50...
KNX presence detector PlanoCentro A-KNX Brightness level / constant light control Setting the brightness level The brightness level defines the minimum required brightness. The current prevailing bright- ness is measured below the presence detector. If the prevailing brightness is below the set point , the light switches on as soon as a presence is detected.
