How to choose an installation site
Figure „:
A Mounting height: between 2 m and 3 m, optimal is 2.5 m, on a
solid and flat surface.
B Distance from sources of optical interference: approx. 5–6 m
C If the luminaire to be switched is located within the area of
detection of the ARGUS, there should be a distance of at least 5 m
between the ARGUS and the luminaire. Mount the luminaire
above the ARGUS, not below it. Otherwise, use the segments
provided to shade it (see the section "How to mask individual
areas").
For optimum movement detection, mount the ARGUS sideways to the
direction of motion (Figure §).
The ARGUS has protection type IP 55 and is therefore suitable for use in
outdoor areas as well. To make sure that the lighting is not switched on
by environmental influences, you should make sure that the ARGUS is
sheltered from rain and direct sunlight (for example, raindrops running
down the lens could cause the movement detector to be switched)
(Figure $).
Further information can be found in the "Merten Technical Information", in
the section "ARGUS movement detector".

Risk of electrocution.
The ARGUS may only be installed and connected by skilled
electricians. Please observe the relevant regulations in your own
country.

Caution: If installation is not carried out correctly, water can
penetrate into the ARGUS and damage it. Always mount the
ARGUS with the spherical head pointing downwards.
